The professor was a 41 fellow with red hair. He would walk shyly into the room wearing his hooded (帶帽的) winter coat, once not even 42 the hood during the lecture. He

19、 was terribly nervous in class and lowered his head 43 looking up through his glasses at his students. So I 44 a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about, 45 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. He was obviously 4

20、6 to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always interesting. I continued to do this every day of the course and found myself actually enjoying the subject. The professor seemed to become a bit more 47 and some of the other students even 48 from time to time. My little game had saved

21、 me from being bored, as it was 49 to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. Except for all of his strange _50 , he was indeed quite an expert in his field. On the last day of his class, we gathered our 51 and headed out the door. The shy, red-haired professor 52 directly in fro

22、nt of me, with obvious efforts, as I reached the door, and put out his hand. He said, “I want to thank you for making this class so interesting.” As he shook my hand and 53 for the first time, I was so surprised. To me, it had been a pleasant way to 54 the time. I had no idea that all of my question

23、 asking had any 55 on him or the others at all. Each of us, through the things we say and do, can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but those of others. 41A. strangeB. patientC. popularD. proud42A. cleaningB. noticingC. removingD. wearing43A. hardlyB. simplyC. absolutelyD. quickly

26、learning calligraphy my teacher told me a story. A calligrapher taught handwriting. One of his students who often practised handwriting with old sheets of newspapers complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time. His teacher said to him,

27、“Try to use the best paper. Maybe youll write better. ”The student did as he was told. It really worked. He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious. He asked his teacher about the reason. The calligrapher answered, “When you used old newspapers to practice handwriting，you would think you w

28、ere writing a draft（草稿）. It didnt matter if you wrote badly as old newspapers were plenty in supply. In that case you wouldnt pay much attention to it. Now you use the best paper youll treasure it. Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity (稀少) of chances and youll devote to it with all

29、 your heart and soul; youll do the handwriting much more attentively than otherwise practising it. Of course youve made rapid progress.”Indeed，we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless “old newspapers”. We dont care if we scrawl and waste them, thinking that they will come endlessly - th

30、ose “old newspapers” are inexhaustible. In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used. In everyday life theres no chance for us to draw a draft. Thats because what we call “draft” ac

31、tually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed. Every day of our life is something new. Let us take every day as a sheet of best paper.56. The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought _. A. the student would practice more carefully on the b

32、est paper B. it was comfortable to write on the bet paper C. the student had enough money to buy the best paper. D. the student could write more on the best paper.57. The student didnt make much progress at first because _. A. he regarded his writing on old newspaper just as a draft B. he was too po

33、or to buy better paper to write C. he didnt follow his teachers advice D. he was not used to the calligraphers teaching manner58. We learn from the passage that _. A. the student finally gave up B. the student made rapid progress by persisting more carefully C. the calligrapher was strict with his s

34、tudents D. old newspaper is not useful59. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. What teachers say is always true. B. Success calls for attentiveness. C. Handwriting is easy to practice. D. New things are always better than old ones.60. The writer wants to tell us that _. A. the

35、re are some good ways to practice handwriting B. life is like old newspaper C. we should learn from the student in the story D. life will not give us a chance to draw a draftBWe have proof that you become what you eat. When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your knowledge

36、well and eat what you want to become. Food has an impact on our physical and mental health. Have you ever heard any of the following advice?Lettuce (萵苣) or milk can make you sleepy.To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts or dried fish.Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read

37、 about or have been told by older relatives. Some of these pieces of advice seem to contradict each other. Eating chocolate makes you fat and gives you spots.Chocolate contains the essential minerals: iron and magnesium (鎂).What we need to figure out is what type of chocolate to eat to get the benef

38、its and how much of it to eat. We can do this by reading the list of ingredients (原料) on the chocolate bar package. Exactly how much real chocolate is in there? And how much of that do we need to eat to get the benefits of the minerals it contains?Future restaurants might be named after the physical

39、 or mental state they hope to create. Their menus will list the benefits of each dish and drink. Some restaurants have already started this concept, and list the nutritional (營(yíng)養(yǎng)的) content of their dishes on the menus.Lets take the restaurant “Winners” as an example. Their menu would list dishes spec

40、ifically designed to help you win sports competitions. Or you could choose the Go-faster salad, which is a large bowl of mixed raw vegetables in a light salad dressing, giving you energy without making you gain weight. And what kind of dishes do you think would be on the menu at the “Clever Caf”?So

41、whats going to happen to hamburgers and biscuits? Will the concept of eating food, because its tasty, go out of fashion? Of course not! Junk food is also changing. If ice-cream is not good for children, cant we give them fat-free, sugar-free tofu ice-cream? Unhealthy food is going out of fashion, so

42、 brands are changing. We are told not to drink cola because of the sugar and caffeine content so cola companies are making sugar-free and caffeine-free drinks. We are told dried fruit is a healthier snack than biscuits so some biscuit companies are making biscuits with added vitamins.61. By saying “

43、you become what you eat”, the writer means that _.A. you will become your own foodB. you will know what food is good by its appearanceC. food has an effect on your healthD. you will know the effects of different types of food62. What does the underlined word “contradict” mean in the text?A. Oppose t

44、o B. Help withC. Have influence on D. Benefit from63. How can we eat chocolate properly, according to the passage?A. To eat chocolate containing the essential minerals.B. To read the list of ingredients on the package.C. To get advice from others before eating real chocolate.D. To learn how much cho

45、colate we can consume before eating.64. Which is true about the future restaurants?A. The food in “Winners” can ensure you to win sports competitions.B. They might list the nutritional content of their dishes on the menus.C. Hamburgers will disappear in these restaurants.D. The Go-faster salad helps

46、 you go faster.65. The concept of eating tasty food will not go out of fashion because _.A. the junk food companies are changing their brand namesB. biscuit companies are making dried fruitC. junk food will become healthier than beforeD. Cola companies are still making colaCIts true that quite a few

47、 most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. Theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Societ

48、y noted that: “The global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planets climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because

49、of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible (看不見(jiàn)的) blanket.Of course, the earths climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles conc

50、erning the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did disc

51、over another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that b

52、asic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths one with human influence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most scientists are careful not to sta

53、te human influence as an absolute certainty. 66. In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _. A. solar activity B. volcanic activityC. natural factors D. human factors67. The text is developed by _. A. giving typical examples B. following the order of space C. analyzing a th

54、eory and arguing it D. comparing and finding differences68. The underline word “identical” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. totally differentB. exactly the same C. extremely importantD. partly independent69. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?A. volcanic eruptionB. c

55、ycles concerning the Earths going around the sunC. changes in solarD. floods and droughts 70. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?D. Whats the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?DSeeing a volca
