17、 York, a white-haired old woman was seen pacing up and down the square day in and day out. Some people took her to be stretching her limbs for want of a better thing to do while others thought she was wandering about without a home to turn to until the story behind it was disclosed in the press. It

18、turned out that she was watching and studying with close intent the pedestrians going to and fro at the square in search of someone who looked worried and was apparently in need of help.At the sight of a small kid running aimlessly about all on his own, she would come up and say, “Is it that you can

19、t find your way home, my child? Do you need my help?” Seeing a dispirited girl, gloomy with worry, she would step up and tenderly ask, “Baby, is there something upsetting you? Share with me whats weighing on your mind. I might be of some help to you.” In the case of a heavy-hearted, sad old folk, sh

20、e would be the first to greet him and say, “My dear old fellow, whats troubling you? Do you need my advice?” Among those she has rescued are young men and young women who, having been out of work for too long, were attempting to commit suicide in despair. She also brought to their homes school child

21、ren who stayed away from their homes as well as mentally-disabled old folks who got lost and couldnt find their way home. She rescued kidnapped(被綁架的) girls on their first visit to New York and even persuaded desperate criminals to turn themselves in.A man, once bent on taking his own life in depress

22、ion, is now a department manager of an international corporation. In recalling what happened on that occasion, the man said, “At her loving care and concern I couldnt help throwing myself into her arms and bursting into tears; she was Mother or Grandmother to me.” At her advice and encouragement, he

23、 restored confidence in himself.Following this old woman, many aged New Yorkers organized themselves as voluntary rescuers under the slogan(標(biāo)語): “Approach strangers and talk with them!” Up till now, more and more retirees have joined this group, whose job is, as that old lady does, to seek someone i

24、n need of help among the crowds with eyes that have seen the changes of life. As soon as they found one, they would come up and talk with him.“Approach strangers and talk with them!” Lets offer a heart-to-heart talk to those helpless in hope of avoiding some regrets, creating a brighter future and c

25、hanging a might-have-been outcome.56. As the text suggests, the old woman is _. A. a white-haired person in want of a better thing to do B. a homeless person wandering about aimlessly C. a kind-hearted person ready to offer help to others passing by D. a desperate criminal on her first visit to New

26、York57. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph can be explained as _. A. what is your mind made ofB. what is bothering you C. what is your mind weightD. what is the size of your mind58. From the passage we can know that the old woman would probably _ when she was pacing up and down the Time

27、s Square. A. ignore a small child running aimlessly about alone B. encourage a dispirited girl to step towards her C. help young people out of work for too long to commit suicide D. greet and care for those heavy-hearted sad old people59. The most suitable title for this passage could be _. A. Appro

28、ach Strangers and Talk with ThemB. A White-haired Old Woman C. Mother or Grandmother to a ManagerD. At the Times SquareBAdvice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good nights sleep a problem that seemed impossible to solve the night before can often appear easier, althoug

29、h no evidence has proved this by now. But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good nights sleep can improve insight(洞察力) and problem-solving. “If you have some newly acquired memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories, restructures(重構(gòu)

30、) them, so that after sleep the insight into a problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr. Jan Born, a neuroscientist, at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them put a string of numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidde

31、n rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups, half were allowed to sleep after the training while the remainders were forced to stay awake. Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training

32、were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group. “Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.” But Born a

33、dmitted that he and his team dont know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it. Pierre Marquette and Pierre Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the suggestions that sleep can promote creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human

34、 creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added. 60. The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in the first line probably means _.      A. to put something aside to be solved until the next day

35、0;  B. to get as much sleep as possibleC. to go on sleeping without being disturbed       D. to sleep till you get up the next morning61. Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through _.    A. comparison    &#

36、160;   B. interview                C. survey              D. imagination62. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. people should sleep so long as they have ti

37、me   B. sleep is the only way to solve hard problemsC. people have various periods of sleep          D. people know how sleep restructures memories63. What would be the best title for the passage?    A. How Sleep Works&#

38、160;B. Sleep Helps Solve Problems   C. No Evidence, But Well FoundedD. Borns Discovery On SleepCThree passions（激情）, simple but extraordinarily strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passion

39、s, like great winds, have blown me here and there, in a wayward(隨意的) course, over a great ocean of suffering, reaching to the very edge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings great joy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I h

40、ave sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness，in which one trembling consciousness looks over the edge of the world into the cold lifeless abyss(深淵). I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints（圣人） and poets have imagine

41、d. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what at last I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to understand the Pythagorean(畢達(dá)哥拉斯的)

42、power by which number holds control of flexibility. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Cries of pain resound in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by o

43、ppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a ridiculous image of what human life should be. I long to reduce and lighten this evil, but I cannot, and I, too, suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would g

44、ladly live it again if the chance were offered me.64. From the second paragraph, we can know the author seeks love because _.A. it brings him great joy rather than lonelinessB. it enables him to see the saints and poets of the pastC. it not only brings him great joy, relieves him from loneliness but

45、 can make him prefigure the heavensD. it can make him eager to learn more knowledge65. According to the passage, the author will probably show pity for _.A. people in povertyB. children in rich familiesC. cheerful old peopleD. cruel employers66. The whole passage suggests that the authors attitude t

46、owards life is _. A. negative B. positiveC. confidentD. irresponsibleDThe news of the great fight at Waterloo was published in the Gazette. After the statement of the victory came the list of the wounded and killed. Georges name among the latter was a terrible shock to the Osborne family and its chi

47、ef. The old father was weighed down by his deep sorrow, but whatever his feelings of guilt and regret for the past, the stern（stubborn and strict）old man never mentioned his sons name. About three weeks later a letter was sent on to him by Dobbin, now promoted to major. It was Georges farewell to hi

48、s father, written at dawn on the day of the battle.The poor boys letter did not say much. He was too proud to show his feelings. He only wished his father goodbye, and begged for his help for his wife, and it might be the child, whom he left behind. He spoke regretfully of his former waste of money,

49、 thanked his father for his generosity in the past, and promised that whether he fell on the field, or lived through the battle, he would act in a manner worthy of his family name.Mr. Osborne dropped the letter with the bitterest feeling of disappointed love and revenge(報復(fù)). His son was still belove

50、d and unforgiven.Towards the end of the autumn, the old man told his daughters that he was going abroad. He did not say where, but they knew at once that his steps would be turned towards Belgium, and that Georges widow was still in Brussels.Many of the wounded were still there, recovering. After vi

51、siting his sons grave, Mr. Osborne easily found some of Georges regiment(步兵團(tuán)). He was coming out of his hotel when he saw a soldier with a bandaged arm, in the well-known uniform, on a bench in the park. He sat down trembling by the wounded man.“Did you know Captain Osborne?” he asked, and added, af

52、ter a pause, “he was my son, sir.”The man lifted his unwounded arm and touched his cap sadly. “The whole army didnt contain a finer or a better officer,” he said. He told the old man that one of Georges fellows was in town just getting over a shot in the shoulder. He would be able to tell him anythi

53、ng he wanted to know.Guided in this way, Mr. Osborne made the journey to Waterloo and went over the field. He saw the spot where George had cut down the French officer who was trying to seize the regimental flag, and the place where the young captain, rushing down the hill and waving his sword, rece

54、ived a shot and fell.As he was driving back to the gates of the city at sunset, old Osborne met another carriage. He drew quickly back. He saw Amelia, her face white and thin, her hair parted under a widows cap. Her eyes were fixed and looking nowhere. She did not know him, nor, until he saw Dobbin

55、by her side, did he recognize her.He hated her. He did not know much, until he saw her there.Dobbin turned and rode back to him.“Mr. Osborne! Mr. Osborne!” he cried. “I have a message for you.”“From that woman?” said Osborne fiercely.“No,” replied the other, “from your son. Im here as his closest fr

56、iend, and in charge of his will. Are you aware how small an amount he has left, and the poor circumstances of his widow? Do you know her condition that her life and her mind have been shaken by the blow that has fallen upon her? She will be a mother soon. Will you forgive the poor child, for George?

57、 ”“I dont know his widow, sir,” was the reply. “Let her go back to her father. I will never speak to her, or recognize her.” 67. Waterloo, according to the passage, was probably in _. A. EnglandB. GazetteC. BelgiumD. France68. The underlined words getting over in the middle of the passage means _. A. recovering fromB. suffering fromC. handing overD. taking over69. The third paragraph of the passage may lead you to believe that _. A. George had probably spent money too wastefully in the past B. Mr. O
