8．People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor．But，more importantly，if you are in a situation where important，and perhaps controversial（有争议的），ideas must be presented to less than open minds，humor allows those ideas to be presented in a non-threatening （无威胁的） manner．Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point．Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listener's interest high．In a word，individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments，support interesting presentations and，most of all，entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way．
While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor，some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience．If you want to become a professional stand-up （单人表演的） comedian whose goal is 100% entertainment，then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking．They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor．To that end，your participation in this study of humor will become necessary．Hopefully，you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor．

9．Iria Wolnick was traveling on Highway 77just after midnight July 5in rural Texas when she saw the scene of a terrible accident．All three occupants-a father and a pregnant mother，and their 2-year-old daughter-had been thrown onto a field．
The mother，Niser，asked Wolnick if her unborn baby was OK，and that was when Wolnick noticed a huge wound on the woman's abdomen （腹），heard a baby's cries and saw a head and a tiny hand emerging from the wound．
"she kept asking，‘How's my baby？'"Wolnick said．"My reaction was to spring into action and did what I could．"
Working off mostly instinct （直觉） and some first-aid training，Wolnick delivered （接生） the six pound，11ounce baby named Emma Lyn Anahi Ortega．A passing truck driver managed to tie off the umbilical cord （脐带） with his shoelace．
The mother was soon taken to a hospital，where she was pronounced dead．The father and the two-year-old girl survived without serious injury．
Now Wolnick has been honoured by police for her bravery and presented with a medal．
"Her actions were truly rare and heroic．If it hadn't been for her，two people would have died that night．"Captain Les Bishop said he had never heard a highway rescue story like it．
"For someone with limited training，to do something well like this，she deserves this and a lot more，"he said．
Wolnick already had a heavy heart that morning：She was on her way to her mother's funeral in Brownsville，which she said gave the birth special meaning and a sense of spiritual balance．
"I was given the opportunity to bring life into the world in those conditions，"She said．"It's not something that happens every day．"

55．How was Wolnick's experience in Captain Les Bishop's opinion？A
A．Surprising and admirable．
B．Exciting and touching．
C．Moving and astonishing．
D．worrying and admirable．
56．What can we infer from the passage？D

C．Niser was most worried about her children after the accident．
D．Wolnick got a comfort from the baby's birth．
57．What's the best title of this passage？B

13．Since the late 1960s a growing number of women have expressed a strong dissatisfaction with any marriage arrangement in which the husband and his career were the primary considerations in the marriage．By the end of the 1970s，for example，considerably less than half of the women in the United States still believed that they should put their husbands and children ahead of their own careers．
    More and more American women have come to believe that they should be equal partners rather than junior partners in their marriages．This state of marriage，although not typical of most American marriages at present，will grow most rapidly in the future．In an equal partnership marriage，the wife pursues a full-time job or career which has equal importance to her husband's．The long-standing division of labor between husband and wife comes to an end．The husband is no longer the main provider of family income，and the wife no longer has the main responsibilities for household duties and raising children．Husband and wife share all these duties equally．Power over family decisions is also equally shared．
    The rapid change in women's attitudes toward marriage in the 1970s reflected rapid change in the larger society．The Women's Liberation movement appeared in the late 1960s，demanding an end to all forms of sexual discrimination against females．An Equal Rights Amendment（平等权利修正案） to the U．S．Constitution was proposed which would make any form of discrimination on the basis of sex illegal，and though it has failed to be approved，it continues to have millions of supporters．

B．Wife can also make the decisions in the family．
C．Wife earns the living while husband does housework．
D．Husband is no longer responsible for raising children．
55．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage？D

D．Changing Patterns of Americans'Marriage．
3．Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon，I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12in South Carolina，something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage．
We lived on the edge of a wood，and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing．There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird．
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician．
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage．At first，in its fright at being captured，the bird fluttered about the cage，but eventually it settled down in its new home．I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician．
I had left the cage out on our back porch，and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth．The baby bird ate everything she brought to it．I was pleased to see this．Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby．
The following morning when I went to see how my captive（被俘虏的） was doing，I discovered it on the floor of the cage，dead．I was shocked!What had happened!I had taken excellent care of my little bird，or so I thought．
Arthur Wayne，the famous ornithologist，happened to be visiting my father at the time，hearing me crying over the death of my bird，explained what had occurred．"A mother mockingbird，finding her young in a cage，will sometimes bring it poison berries．She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity．"
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage．All living creatures have a right to live free．
32．Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12？C
A．He had just got a new cage．
B．He liked its beautiful feather．
C．He wanted it to sing for him．
D．He wanted a pet for a companion．
33．The mockingbird died because itB．
A．was frightened to death        
B．ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C．refused to eat anything       
D．drank the poisonous water by mistake
34．An ornithologist probably meansD．
A．a religious person            
B．a kind person
C．a schoolmaster              
D．an expert in birds
35．What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident？A
A．Freedom is very valuable to all creatures．
B．All birds put in a cage won't live long．
C．You should keep the birds from their mother．
D．Be careful about food you give to baby birds．
10．Dear Editor，
I'm a Senior 1student in a middle school．This term，my favourite teacher，Miss Mao，no longer teaches us．I want to see her，but I'm afraid that she no longer likes me and I don't want to trouble her．I really miss her．What should I do？
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan，
It's bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher．But，if she is still in your school，nothing can stop you going to see her．When she isn't busy，ask her if she minds having a quick chat．You can then tell her she was your favourite teacher．Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
If she has left the school，it will be more difficult to meet her．It will be hard，but remember people always come and go in our lives．We can't rely on them being with us all the time．
You may be sad to say goodbye to her，but we can remember and learn from her．Think of her best qualities．
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers．Study hard and give your new teacher a chance． In time， you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from．
Finally，you can not completely（entirely） rely on（depend on） other people getting you through your studies，or even your life．
Editor

7．Women who own cats are more likely to have mental health problems and kill themselves because they can be infected by a common parasite that can be caught from cat litter，a study has found．
Researchers found women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii （T．gondii） parasite（刚地弓形虫），which is spread through contact with cat waste or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables，are at increased risk of attempting suicide．
The study involved more than 45，000women in Denmark．About a third of the world's population is infected with the parasite，which hides in cells in the brain and muscles，often without producing symptoms．
The infection，which is called toxoplasmosis（弓形虫病），has been linked to mental illness，such as schizophrenia（精神分裂症），and changes in behavior．
The study's senior author Doctor Teodor Postolache，an associate professor of psychiatry（精神病学） at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the United States，said，"We can't say with certainty that T．gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves，but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that deserves additional studies．"
Doctor Albert Reece，vice president of medical affairs at the University of Maryland，said，"T．gondii infection is a major public health problem around the world，and many people don't realize they're infected．
"Dr Postolache is a leading expert on suicide neuroimmunology（神经免疫学）．Suicide is a critically important mental health issue．About one million people commit suicide and another 10million attempt suicide worldwide each year．We hope that this type of research will one day help us find ways to save many lives that now end too early in suicide．"
Dr．Postolache's research team at the University of Maryland was the first to report a connection between T．gondii and suicidal behavior in 2009．He is cooperating with researchers in Denmark，Germany and Sweden to confirm and investigate the way leading to this association．
The T．gondii parasite thrives in the intestines of cats，and it is spread through their waste．All warm-blooded animals can become infected through contact with it．Humans can become infected by changing their infected cats'litter boxes，eating unwashed vegetables，drinking water from a polluted source，or by eating undercooked or raw meat．
Not washing kitchen knives after preparing raw meat before handling another food item also can lead to infection．Pregnant women can pass the parasite directly to their unborn babies and are advised not to change cat litter boxes to avoid possible infection．
Babies don't produce antibodies to T．gondii for three months after they are born，so the antibodies present in their blood represented infection in the mothers．The scientists studied Danish health patients to determine if any of these women later attempted suicide，including cases of violent suicide attempts which may have involved guns，sharp instruments and jumping from high places．
The study found that women infected with T．gondii were one and a half times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who were not infected，and the risk seemed to rise with increasing levels of the T．gondii antibodies．
Dr Postolache noted limitations to the study，such as the inability to determine the cause of the suicidal behavior．
The findings were published online in the Archives of General Psychiatry．
66．The objects of the research are women fromA．
A．Demark
B．the USA
C．Germany
D．Sweden
67．The common way which is more likely to be infected with the disease isB．
A．to eat unwashed vegetables or undercooked meat
B．to clean a place where a cat once lived for a time
C．to pass the infection to her unborn baby during a woman's pregnancy
D．to reuse kitchen tools which have been used to cut raw meat
68．What is the consequence if a woman is infected with the parasite in the passage？B
A．Having a high fever．
B．Doing deliberate self-harm．
C．Keeping a depressed mood．
D．Becoming bad tempered．
69．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．Women have a higher risk to be infected by the parasite than men．
B．The result of the research may help the scientists to find ways to stop suicide in advance．
C．The scientists will continue their research into the possible connection．
D．The risk of being infected seems to rise with the decreasing levels of the antibodies．
70．Which of the following statements would probably be the best title of the passage？D
A．Why are women more likely to commit suicide？
B．Women should keep away from cats．
C．Ways found to deal with women's mental problems．
D．Are women who own cats at a suicide risk？
8．Carrot juice，because of its many healthy benefits，is commonly called the"magic juice"．It has been found that adding carrot juice to people's diets greatly improves their health．And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage．
Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet．Lack （缺乏） of vitamin A can cause dryness and damage to the skin，nails and hair．Drinking carrot juice to increase the vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body，including the bones and teeth．
Drinking carrot juice is thought to be extremely helpful to the liver （肝脏），because vitamin A helps to clean the liver and reduce fat in it．And it is suggested that drinking carrot juice should be done regularly，rather than just from time to time．
Drinking carrot juice is also thought to improve the eyesight because of the vitamin A in the juice．Lack of vitamin A can lead to night blindness，which can be very dangerous，especially when the person is driving a car．An easy way to find out if you are lacking in vitamin A is to walk from a bright room into a dark room．Your eyes may have some trouble in getting used to the change of light if you are lacking in vitamin A．
How can you make carrot juice？Wash some carrots well in cold water．Scrape （刮） them lightly，but do not peel them，as this will take away valuable vitamins and minerals that lie close to the skin．
52．Lack of vitamin A can lead toA．
A．skin dryness          
B．broken bones
C．complete blindness    
D．liver cancer

A．drinking carrot juice helps to protect your eyesight
B．driving cars at night may lead to night blindness
C．walking from a bright room into a dark room may lead to night blindness
D．you will find it easy to get used to the change of light if you lack vitamin A
