house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremelyworried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half﹣written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.35.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take his family36.The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from.A.a friend of his familyB.a Sydney policemanC.a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney37.What does the underlined word"restored"in the last paragraph mean?A.showedB.sent outC.deliveredD.gave back38.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.From India to Australia.B.Living in a New Country.C.Turning Trash to Treasure.D.In Search of New Friends.39.(6分)It's not easy being a teenager(13years old~19years old)﹣nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager.You can make your child feel angry,hurt,or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself.It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you'll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child,just not everything.Except for health and safety problems,such as drug use or careless driving;consider everything else open to discussion.If your child is unwilling to discuss something,don't insist he tell you what's on his mind.The more you insist,the more likely that he'll clam up.Instead,let him attempt to solve things by himself.At the same time,remind him that you're always there for him should he seek advice or help.Show respect for your teenager's privacy.Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family.If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long,tell him he can talk for15minutes,but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time.This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls,but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea,allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part﹣time job.39.The main purpose of the text is to tell parents.A.how to get along with a teenagerB.how to respect a teenagerC.how to understand a teenagerD.how to help a teenager grow up40.What does the phrase"clam up"in Paragraph 2probably mean?A.become excitedB.show

have his own telephoneD.Not talk about personal things with him.42.(8分)How Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts,feelings and behaviors.But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的,实证的)basis.They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity,keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity.In 2007,Joan Meyers﹣Levy at the University of Minnesota,reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think.Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely,which may lead them to make more abstract connections.Low ceilings,on the other hand,may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height,the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate.Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically,and it seems to,according to a study led by C.Kenneth Tanner,head of the School DesignPlanning Laboratory at the University of Georgia.Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary,language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的)light helps people to loosen up.If that is true generally,keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings."We have a very limited number of studies,so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),"architect David Allison says."How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad,generalized use of them?That's what we're all struggling with."42.What does Joan Meyers﹣Levy focus on in her research?A.Light.B.Ceilings.C.Windows.D.Furniture.43.The passage tells us that.A.the shape of furniture may affect people's feelingsB.lower ceilings may help improve students'creativityC.children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD.students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed44.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that.A.the problem is not approached step by stepB.the researches so far have faults in themselvesC.the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD.research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns45.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP:Central Point P:Point SP:Sub﹣point C:Conclusion.第四节阅读理解七选五.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.(共五小题,每小题10分,共10分)46.(10分)Public Speaking Training•Get a coach(46),so get help.Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses,here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.•Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well.Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well.(47),so good
