18.It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyon.As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance(入口)and had hit her head on the concrete(混凝土).Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.
Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset(沮丧的) about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,"Mum,it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."
At the front of the supermarket,a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds(筹集善款).Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her fel better,"he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up(让…高兴)."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."
By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived,and were attending to the injured woman.As we walked up to her,my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him,"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."
At that,the old man started crying and said,"Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
29.What dose the author intend to tell us?D
A.One can never be too careful.
B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.Love begins with a little smile.
D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy.
30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.
B.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support.
C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled(迷惑) the flowerseller.
D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.
31.The underlined word"intimidated"in the fourth paragraph probably means"C".

6.The greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning-and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be.Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World WarⅡ.Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes,offices,factories,theatres,shops,studios,schools,hotels,and restaurants,and we can see it almost everywhere in today's America.
But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American.In fact,air conditioning has substantially altered the country's character and customs.
Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous(显而易见的) that they are scarcely noticed.To begin with,air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy,boxy,sealed-in skyscrapers.It has been indispensable,no less,to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers,whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled…
It has,at will,forced families into going back into families with closed doors and shut windows to improve the effects of the air-conditioning,reducing the interactions of neighborhood life.I think there is no need explaining the seriousness of this consequence(后果).It is really surprising that the public's often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has kept in pace with the historic spread of air-conditioning.Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body,some medical experts suggest that,like other technical avoidance of natural changes in climate,air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress.If so,air-conditioning is only like many other greatly useful technical developments that liberate(解放) man from nature by increasing his productivity and power in some way-while indirectly weakening him in others.

32.According to this passage,which of the following played a role in the forming of the unique character of U.S.?B
A.Its advanced computerized civilization.
B.Its excessive use of air-conditioning.
C.Its public's retreating into self-pursuit.
D.Its greatest contribution to human civilization.
33.According to the author,the chief consequence brought about by the wide application of air-conditioning isB.
A.the loss of human capacity to adapt to changes in climate
B.the reduction of social communications of neighborhood life
C.the active life style of all its users
D.the decreased human production and power
34.The tone of this passage reveals that air-conditioningD.
A.has little effect on its users
B.has more effect on body than on mind
C.brings only damage to its users
D.does harm as well as good to its users
35.What is the author's overall attitude towards air-conditioning?C
A.Neutral              B.Objective
C.Critical             D.Compromising.
10.Money MattersParents should help their children understand money.(36)G So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services.It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy,give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员).(37)F When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money,you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.(38)D If you must say no to a child's request to spend money,explain,"You have enough toy trucks for now."Or,if the request is for many different things,say,"You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy."
(39)A
Begin at the grocery store.Pick out two similar brands of a product---a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example.You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.(40)CIf he chooses the cheaper brand,allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.Later,you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

A.Wise decisions
B.The value of money
C.Permit the child to choose between them.
D.Tell your child why he can-or cannot---have certain things.
E.Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F.Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G.The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
11.Most people have some common sense.When we see something suspicious on TV,in the newspaper,or on the Internet,we roll our eyes and wonder how anyone could believe something so stupid.Nevertheless,there are stories that even educated people still believe.These tales may or may not be true,but they leave us wondering whether they are real or not.On National Geographic Channel,these stories are dissected(剖析) in full detail in the series Is It Real.
Thousands of years ago,aliens landed on the Earth.They tampered (破坏) with the evolution of humans and the results of this can be seen practically everywhere.Sound ridiculous?Not to some people.Believe it or not,there are those who believe that alien astronauts had a hand in making the human race what it is today.Travel back in time with Ancient Astronauts and visit our"alien ancestors".
In the autumn of 1888,Jack the Ripper roamed(漫游) the streets of London's East End.After his reign(统治) of terror was over,five women had been killed.To this day,the mystery of who killed these ladies remains unsolved.No one knows for sure,but the truth may be revealed on Jack the Ripper.
Vampires(吸血鬼).Just the thought of these fictional beasts is enough to make your blood run cold.While we may think that they only come to life in books and movies,vampires are actually based on real people.Historians,folklorists,scientists and doctors all work together to investigate the plausibility(合理性) of vampires.Take a bite into this juicy mystery on Vampires.
No other channel can offer this type of programming other than National Geographic Channel.In this unique series,they've stripped away 12 myths that have stood the test of time to expose the truth and find out the answer to the question-Is it real?
29.What type of person would believe these stories?C
