14.A typical lion tamer(驯兽师)in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In reality,it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the
man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become…take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

24.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A
A.To trick the lion.
B.To show off his skills.
C.To get ready for a fight.
D.To entertain  the audience.
25.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?B
A.They hold on to the wrong things.
B.They feel puzzled over choices.
C.They find it hard to make changes.
D.They have to do something for show
26.What is the author's attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?D
A.Tolerant.
B.Supportive.
C.Respectful.
D.Doubtful.
27.When the world is"waving a chair in your face",you're advised toC
A.wait for a better chance                      
B.break your old habits
C.make a quick decision                          
D.ask for clear guidance.

分析 本文通过驯兽师驯狮子的时候把椅子放在狮子前面引起讨论,当我们人类面对很多选择时候,我们应该怎么做.在文章中作者建议我们遇见这种情况,要离开采取行动.

解答 24-27 ABDC
24.A  细节理解题.根据文章第一段最后一句When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.可知把椅子放在狮子前面的时候,狮子被椅子的四条腿迷惑住了,不知道该攻击那一个.所以椅子起着迷惑狮子的作用.故A正确.
25.B  细节理解题.根据文章第二段How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight.,start a business,travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?可知当我们面临着很多选择的时候,我们也会很困惑,不知道该选择哪一种.这一点和面对椅子的狮子是相似的.故B正确.
26.D 态度判断题.根据第三段The end result is that we feel like we cant'focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.说明作者对于专家有怀疑,因为我们最后采取的行动较少,取得的进步也小.故D正确.
 27.C 推理判断题.根据文章最后一段2,3行All you need to do is focus on one thing,.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.可知当我们面对多种选择的时候,我们需要的只是立刻作出决定.故C正确.

9.Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world.In September,1923,Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it.They had to be completely rebuilt.One of the most serious earthquakes was in China's Shanxi province in 1556.It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake's strength on the Richter Scale.The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935in Southern California in the USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten.Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth's crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates.As these plates move,they sometimes crash against each other,causing the crust to quake.In cities such as Tokyo,where small quakes happen quite often,many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the Earth moves,they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes.This can cause fires to break out,which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea.They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities,China,Japan,Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生) of earthquakes in the world.
21.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.scientists who study earthquakes     
B.the way of measuring earthquakes
C.a usual natural disaster                
 D.what people should do in the earthquake
22.EarthquakesD
A.don't cause much damage                
B.are not serious
C.most possibly happen in Japan            
D.happen all over the world
23.According to the passage we know that tsunamisB
A.can cause earthquakes
B.are caused by earthquakes
C.only happen on land
D.are a way of measuring earthquakes.
6.(36)G Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children,though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge(隆起) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries.Burns,cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one,which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. (37)C Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink.They can be recorded easily. (38)D Because of the simplicity and economy of this system,finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case.A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. (39)FWhen a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime,they are difficult to detect(察觉) with the naked eye. (40 )A Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.

A.Special techniques are used to"develop"them.
B.A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger.
C.It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.
D.With special methods,identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.
E.A latent(潜在的) print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item.
F.His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
G.Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.

Recently my husband had his Achilles tendon(跟腱) cut when feeding a chicken. When sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for surgery stressfully, I decided to treat myself for a minute and start to read about “The Little House on the Prairie”. Suddenly I felt my life seemed like a slack(懈怠) compared to the Ingalls who do all their washing and cooking but they feel so happy. Their every happiness is created from the work with their own hands. Yet I’m walking around feeling sorry for myself because I’m picking up the slack! So I’m thinking “Work it out! Get up and get busy.”

It really is true. I realize that I’m happiest when accomplishing tangible(有形的) productive work—working in the yard and washing my dishes—brings me happiness. This does not surprise Kelly Lambert Ph.D. She has been researching the phenomenon she calls “effort-rewards”. When you do meaningful work with your hands, a kind of neurochemical feedback floods your brain with dopamine and serotonin. These happy brain chemicals are natural antidepressants, and we’ve evolved to release them both to reward ourselves for working with our hands and to motivate ourselves to do it some more. Dr. Lambert says Americans have become more depressed in recent years and at the same time we’ve experienced a decrease in purposeful physical activity. Did we lose something vital to our mental health when we started pushing buttons instead of ploughing the fields?

Dr. Pansinski says she gets that happy look when she prepares a meal at the end of a day. “We are programmed to reward ourselves when we accomplish things with our hands. For so many people, it just feels as though everything’s going so fast—life, kids, hundreds of e-mails a day. There is so little you can really see and hold on to. Working with one’s hands is a way to slow down, to take pleasure in life again.”

1.Before reading “The Little House On the Prairie”, the writer might think the Ingalls were ________.

A. unknown B. hardworking

C. foolish D. unhappy

2.The writer develops the first paragraph in a way of ________.

A. giving an example B. making a comparison

C. analyzing a cause D. asking a question

3.From Kelly Lambert Ph. D, we know that ________.

A. her “effort-rewards” is popular among American people

B. working with our hands makes our brain tired easily

C. a decrease in physical work causes people in low mood.

D. we should work with our hands instead of using machine

4.From what Dr. Pansinski says, we can conclude that ________.

A. time and tide wait for no man

B. we should lower our expectation for life

C. it’s better to leave today’s work to tomorrow

D. we should never hurry our life too much
