I couldn’t 41 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “42 ” to anywhere I wanted to go a nd anything I wanted to do, including getting a 43 . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 44 every penny I could and 45 I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one Iwanted to 46 to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only 47 you five dollars.” I offer ed with a smile.“I see.” was all he said.One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 48 to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house, 49 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n) 50 day. As I dropped my dad off, I 51 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 52 from the trunk (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sunweathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 53 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).In that instant, it 54 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out, 55 hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him 56 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 57 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my 58 . Don’t work too hard. I love you.”His 59 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he 60 his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”41.

If your pilot is forced to turn back only for his lack of passing a certaintest, you will be certainly shocked. This very thing happened to the passengers on Flight BE1431 on Thursday. Just minutes before landing on Charles de Gaulle Airport (戴高乐机场), Paris, the pilot, a very experienced one, told his passengers, “Unfortunately I’m n ot qualified to land in Paris for the poor visibility. To do so a level II qualification（资格）is required, which I have not gained. We’ll have to fly back.” Then, you may guess how the passengers felt about their flight back to the starting airport.A spokeswoman said the pilot was really experienced with more than 30 years flying a number of different passenger aircraft types. “But he has recently transferred from flying a BQ300 to a BQ400, so he has to regain his qualification for landing in such conditions as the thick fog he experienced this time,” she said. “The pilot, therefore, quite correctly turned the aircraft back, a decision 100 percent accepted by the aviation (航空) officials in the company.”One passenger said she had missed an appointment for an interview in Paris. “I might have had a nice chance to work in Paris,” she told the local newspaper. “The whole thing sounds hard to believe. If I had not been on the plane, I would take it as a funny story!”The British Civil Aviation Authority descr ibed the incident as one that was “quite unus ual but probably not unheard of”, because there are different classifications (等级) of aircraft with different qualifications for landing in different climatic conditions and when an aircraft is updated, the pilots have to get retrained, even though they have enough skills to do the job successfully.Poor pilot, it’s not really his fault...61. According to the passage, it was _____ that mainly caused the aircraft to fly back.A. the unusual thick fogB. the pilot’s qualificationC. the air traffic controllerD. the airline company62. The spokeswoman thought _______.A. the pilot did a funny thingB. the pilot lacked the abilityC. the pilot should not fly the new planeD. the pilot did what he should63. Without her own experience, the passenger would consider the incident to be quite _______.A. unsafeB. normalC. unbelievableD. acceptable64. Which of the following is true?A. It was the airline’s fault to require pilots to update qualification.B. The announcement made by the pilot seemed quite interesting.C. Actually, the pilot had the ability of landing the plane safe.D. The weather above the Airport was within the pilot’s expectation.BPositive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated or depressed, they don't ignore it. But they don't blame themselves either. Instead, they try to understand the negative thoughts and feelings and counter(反击) them with more positive ones.So how do you stay positive, maintain motivated and sustain healthy behaviors? Here are some tips:Look for a good role model. There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want to be doing. Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea. Learn from a successful friend, family member or colleague. Ask them how they keephealthy and follow in their footsteps.Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative-talk. Take a minute to give yourself an ego boost. Repeat some motivational words out loud to yourself. Negative talk such as "I can't do it,""I'm fat," is dangerous for your well-being and healthy goals. Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you. Remind yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes.Get support.Tell your friends and family about your healthy habits. It helps to have an encouraging network.Reward yourself. Treat yourself to something for your healthy efforts. Take a nice bath, get a massage, and enjoy a new DVD or CD.Have a plan. Making a plan to exercise or eat healthy lunches with a friend can mean the difference of sticking with your goals or falling off track. If you've planned for an activity, you'll likely stick with it. You may even find that writing down your goals and steps to achieve them can help you stay on track. Take it day by day or week by week. The process of writing down your personal action plan is a good way to keep you honest and watch your progress or failures.65. By writing the text the author intends to _______.A .offer some advice on how to stay positive B. persuade readers to learn from a role modelC. provide some solutions to personal problems D .inform readers of some tips on physical health66. What does the phrase “to give yourself an ego boost” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. to get lost in deep thought.B. to think about the hardships.C. to check what mistake you made.D. to make you feel better about yourself.67. Which of the following would the author Not agree to?A. Saying some positive words to yourself helps you to feel good.B. By staying with your companion you can avoid the negative-talk.C. A successful friend, relative or colleague can be your role model.D. Creating a helpful network is a good way to keep you motivated.68. To make sure that you always stay on track, what should you do?A. Eat out with your best friends.B. Relax yourself after a hard day.C. Write down what you want to achieveD. Rewrite your plans as often as you can.CThe global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides（自杀）as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders (带狂躁的抑郁症) and the current market meltdown (崩溃) could worsen feelings of despair among people who can't stand such illnesses.The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.“We should not be surprised at the turbulence (动荡) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis. Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need,” WHO director general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts.“It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders,” Chan warned.Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health, said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives.Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic (慢性) and disabling, he said. Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large proportion (比例) of them are young adults.Asked about the fi nancial crisis, Saraceno said, “Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes. Even the poor can be affected by this crisis.”“There is a clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters. I am not talking about the millionaire's jumping out of th e window but about poor people,” he said. The global crisis could be expected to affect the “stability（稳定）of communities and families”, according to Saraceno.69.According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that ________ .A. more people will be poorerB. more people will be out of jobsC. more people will suffer from mental problemsD. more people will commit suicide70. The United Nations agency worried that________.A. more rich people would commit suicideB. the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countriesC. the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despairD. hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problems71. The underlined word “impact” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. crisisB. disorderC. meltdownD. influence72. It is implied that ________.A. far more work should be done to help those who are mentally illB. it will be surprising to see more people commit suicideC. a mental disorder is a chronic diseaseD. many more adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages73. The best title for the passage is _________.A. Consequences of Global Financial Crisis.B. Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial Crisis.C. Suicides as a Result of Market Meltdown.D. Chronic Mental Disorders.DIt is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as strong as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge — how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者), the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge …Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge? ” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem? Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don’t sharksEAT fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert. The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.74. The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea is that _______.A. the fish resource near the shore was decreasingB. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresherC. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh onesD. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh75. Which was the best way for the fishing company to keep fishes fresh?A. Getting the fishes frozen.B. Storing the fishes with salt.C. Putting the fishes in tanks.D. Keeping the fishes with sharks.76. The relationship between fishes and sharks is similar to that between_______ in nature.A. dogs and catsB. monkeys and mosquitoesC. wolves and antelopesD. tigers and lions77. The underlined part of the last paragraph means “_______.”A. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies didB. Try to find a big shark, and you will meet your challengeC. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challengesD. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people’s lifeEA device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to go through testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to tiredness.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband (手表带) . The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing（挤压）the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and me asures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market withi n about a year.78. According to the text, Driver Alert ______.A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidentsB. has gone through testing at laboratoriesC. aims to prevent drivers from sleepingD. has been on sale for 12 months79. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?A. By sounding a warning.B. By touching the wristband.C. By checking the driving time.D. By pressing the steering wheel.80. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______.A. moves more regularlyB. stops working properlyC. opens the window for the driverD. sounds more frequently and loudly答 题 纸班级_____ 姓名______考号_______V. 单词拼写( 用本学期学过单词的适当形式填空 ; 共5分).81.
