项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A．
My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We
lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.
In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf（小牛） to replace our cow, which
had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we
named Tubby.
We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve,
and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.
Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went
well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.
I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we
had photos of me both on and off Tubby!
When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else
with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was
empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.
I hadn’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual.
Liv estock aren’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.
Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until
Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.
21.The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.
A. they would have more cows in the future B. It would provide their children with milk.
C. the family would have enough meat to eat D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.
22. Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?
A. Serious. B. Strong-willed. C. Careless D. Quick-minded.
23. We learn from the passage that _____.
A. Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.
B. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.
C. the author’s mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.
D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.
24. We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.
A. pets B. education C. diet D. animals
B

Early on e morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell
asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult
problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had
been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing
machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught
around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him
with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear.
The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying
to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle.
This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the
inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.
Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when y ou are asleep. Even then, a part of
your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and
goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have
forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages
to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange
images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret
messages to ourselves”.
28.According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedw w w .
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
29The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
30.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
31.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ________.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning D. only specially trained people can understand them
D.
People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television.
People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的):they have a very powerful psychological need that
they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they
must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive
spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words,
compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is
actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales,
low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just
because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing
an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most
people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real
reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business
people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for
love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, an d so on in their advertising and sales
methods.
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality
problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
32. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money ___.
A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need D. and feels he or she is cheated
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.
B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spending habits to increase sales.
C. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D. Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
34. What is the text mainly about?
A. The psychology of money-spending habits. B. The habits of compulsive spenders.
C. A special psychology of bargain hunting. D. The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.
35. From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive
spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____.
A. are really unreasonable B. need special treatment
C. are really beyond drugs D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money

Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use
one. 36 They find that the phones are more than a means of communication – having mobile phone
shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors
are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile
phone companies are worried about the negative publicity(负面报道)of such ideas. _____37____________
On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning
equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss.
38 This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for
a couple of years.
39 The answer is radiation(辐射). High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of
radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the
amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about the safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often.
______40 Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future, mobile phones may have a
warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
A. They will possibly affect their benefits.
B. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people.
C. What do the doctors worry about?
D. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?
E. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
F. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks.
G. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.

“Your oldest son has 51 offered,” replied my father.
So this was 52 my life had come to. Ask me to run through a rainstorm. 53 me to ride the roller
coaster – backward. These things are what I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing 54
but to refuse.
People often say there is a(n) 55 chemistry between a father and a son. Dad came back into the kitchen just
as I was about to 56 out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt – ready to 57 . In his
right hand was the old apron.
“I want you to have this, Tommy. It will keep your clothes from getting wet. Thanks, Son.” 58 that he
disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad 59
for the dishes and washing them happily. My dark angel disappeared. Soon I was singing a song about a(n) 60 .
I knew the kind pf man I wanted to be – my dad.
