题目内容

12.The energy crisis (危机) has made people aware of how the careless use of the earth's energy has brought the whole world to the edge of disaster.The over-development of motor transport,with its increase of more cars,more traveling,has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth's atmosphere.
Our present situation is unlike natural disasters of the past.Worldwide energy use has brought us to a state where long-range planning is vital.What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state,which endangers the future of our country,our children,and our earth,but a movement forward in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation (揭露) that lawbreaking has reached into the highest place in the land.There is a strong demand for morality to turn for the better and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all.In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own benefits that people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other people of this planet,who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans.There is a common need to reassess our present course,to change that course and to employ new methods through which the world can survive.This is a priceless opportunity.
To grasp it,we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis we and the world are facing is no passing inconvenience,no byproduct of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries,no environmentalists'only fears,no byproduct of any present system of government.What we face is the result of the invention of the last four hundred years.What we need is transformed life style.This new life style can flow directly from science and technology,but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world's children and future generation.
67.Which of the following has nearly destroyed our cities?D
A.The loss of beliefs and ideas.
B.More of law-breaking.
C.Natural disasters in many areas.
D.The rapid growth of motors.
68.By comparing past problems with present ones,the author draws our attention to the.A
A.seriousness of this crisis  
B.ineffectiveness of laws
C.similarity of the past to the present   
D.hopelessness of the situation
69.Which of the following is used as an example to show the loss of morality?B
A.Disregard for law.
B.Lack of devotion.
C.Lack of understanding.
D.Destruction of cities.
70.The author wrote the passage in order to.C
A.make a recommendation for a transformed life style
B.limit ambitions of the people of the whole world
C.demand devotion to nature and future generation
D.encourage awareness of the decline of morality.

Aristotle once wrote that"happiness is a state of activity".In other words,whether you are seeking lifelong satisfaction (33)ora few moments of good cheer,you have got to move forward.We've surveyed the experts and found four steps to take toward a sunny disposition(性格):
VALUE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Over a 30-year period,University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 12,000people (34)howincome,education,political participation,volunteer activities,and close relationships affected their happiness.Reported Newsweek's Sharon Begley on the findings,"The highest level of happiness (35)is fond(find) with the most stable,longest,and most contented relationships."
EXPRESS YOURSELF
Singing aloud,talking to a stranger,raising your hand:All may increase a feeling of well-being,according to a study from Wake Forest University.Participants tracked their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were (36)more outgoing(outgoing).
SPEND MONEY ON OTHERS
The editors of forbes.com gave¥5 or¥20 randomly to 46 strangers.Half the group was told to spend money on (37)themselves,while the other half was told to spend it on others.Those who'd shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who'd spent it on themselves.There was no difference in happiness between those who spent¥5 or¥0,suggesting that it's not how much money you spend,but how you spend it,(38)thatcan boost (提升) the spirit.
FOCUS ON THE POSITVE
Studies from the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center show (39)thatnegative-minded people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an (40)improved(improve) outlook.
3.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation.In the 15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed.A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the 18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job.
About 100years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east.The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello."
It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.Or,that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world,a green light is a signal to move ahead.A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on.In everyday speech,a green light means approval to continue with a project.

25.If a person was a greenhorn,he mightD.
A.be good at growing plants           B.get along well with others
C.be a soldier in the 16th century    D.have no experience in doing something
26.When you have trouble in growing flowers,you can ask for help fromA.
A.a green thumb   B.a green light
C.a greenhorn     D.a green-eyed monster
27.If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman's,you mayD.
A.need to buy a green light           B.have to get a green thumb
C.show them your greenhorn            D.be affected by the green-eyed monster
28.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.The origin of the word"green".
B.Some expressions concerning green.
C.The story of a green-eyed monster.

20.Even when you're extremely busy,you aren't using your time with 100% efficiency.There are gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important.Even if your schedule has no gaps,there is probably lots of time where you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.
Why aren't you completely efficient?It's because time isn't the limiting factor.If it were the limiting factor,people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣).Instead,people,even those who are highly productive,need to take breaks,occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention.Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired,you can have ample time and still not get everything done.Your attention ability is also limited,because even if there are a million things that need to be done,you can only focus on one or two at a time.
You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices.But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything.The reason it's hard to"find time"isn't a lack of time.It's because you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago.I was insanely busy,but at that time I still exercised regularly.I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items,and I still found time to exercise.However,after a few weeks off,due to illness,I stopped exercising.I was not busy by any standards,in fact,my schedule was incredibly light.Despite this free time,I found it hard to find time to exercise.It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone.How can I explain this odd experience?I believe you have known it.
 
26.If someone can't work with 100% efficiency,the most important limiting factor isD.
A.a schedule without gaps                
B.breaks and distractions
C.the limited time                       
D.the limited energy
27.According to paragraph 4,everyone,including the extremely busy people,canC
A.work without any rest                   
B.focus on many things at a time
C.find some more time in a day           
D.do some exercise regularly
28.After a few weeks off,what was the change of the writer's life?B
A.He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.
B.He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.
C.He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.
D.He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.
29.The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order toAA.prove what the real limiting factor is                    
B.show us how busily he needs to work
C.explain how important a healthy body is             
D.tell us what an odd experience he has
30.What is the best title of the passage?A

B.How Can You Work Efficiently?
C.What Makes Your Energy Limitedd?
D.When Should You Do Exercise?
