They usually expect the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the

21、 availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs.

The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the t

26、raffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This years atten

27、dance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and answer period following each talk. Autograph(親筆簽名) seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds

28、 of popular food and diverse foreign food, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California. O

29、ne couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it,” said the husband. “Its just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it

34、, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single

35、 mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students

36、 arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. Hes looking for the one who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The B

37、edford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any students who “disrespects a fem

38、ale,” said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the schools academic jewels, but the most struggling

39、 students.And autonomy also means the schools teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.44.【單選題】In Mr. Leonards school, most of the students who dont have to p

40、ay for lunch .A：are adopted childrenB：are parentlessC：are homelessD：have a single parent正確答案：D45.【單選題】What can be a good indication of the Bedford Schools success?A：63 percent of its students go on to college.B：A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C：All the graduates from the school go on

42、dents should .A：leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB：attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC：do their homework to review what they have learnedD：come to the school on Sundays正確答案：BPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Ha

43、ve you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(堅(jiān)持己見(jiàn)). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of o

44、rganization tends to make people distrust themselves,” says Alberti, “Theres always a superior around-a parent, a teacher, a boss-who knows better. These superiors often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themse

45、lves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses-AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A gro

46、up taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “impo

47、rtant” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other persons label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.48.【單選題】People are reluctant to talk back because .A：they have

48、a poor self-imageB：they have not received AT coursesC：they have not grasped communication skillsD：they are not generous enough to share things正確答案：A49.【單選題】According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to .A：get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB：keep people as knowledgeabl

49、e as their superiorsC：train peoples capacity to speak up for their rightsD：make things more favorable for superiors正確答案：D50.【單選題】One of the objectives of AT courses is to .A：train people to trust othersB：encourage people to share their thoughtsC：tell people of their right to be superiorsD：help peopl

50、e overcome their fear of asserting themselves正確答案：D51.【單選題】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A：Protect YourselfB：Try to Speak OutC：Share Your OpinionD：Face Your Superior正確答案：BPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is bl

51、own over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete smart plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model

52、may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing

53、 high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be foun

54、d when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speed, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at dif

55、ferent speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can before it starts to drop and how fast it can climb.52.【單選題】Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others becauseA：they are used for large planesB：they can produce a stronger windC：they are b

56、uilt to conduct a high-speed testD：the air in them flows at a lower speed正確答案：D53.【單選題】The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that .A：it costs a lot to test a planeB：the wings are not good enoughC：some problems are found with a planeD：the wings meet the high-speed air flow

57、 in the tunnel正確答案：B54.【單選題】As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out .A：how fast a plane can riseB：how smooth a planes surface isC：how a plane lands in a strong windD：how a plane drop at a low height正確答案：A55.【單選題】What can we learn from the passage?A：It is very expensive to build a wind tunnelB：Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planesC：Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnelsD：There are new ways to feed air to the test section正確答案：BA. I miss you, tooB. Its niceC. Oh, come on
