4.Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
When I was a senior in high school,I (36)C knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.
Writing had basically(37)Dme when I was only 7years old,(38)Dsince that time,I'd been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all (39)A me to have"a back-up plan"in case writing didn't work out.
I'd never even (40)Ca different career path,so I was very (41)B and worried.After much thought,I decided (42)B would be my"back-up plan,"and I signed up for a class through my high school.
This (43)A that every morning,I would serve as a teacher's helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher,Mr.Ralston.Morning after morning,I showed up in Mr.Ralston's classroom and(44)C papers for him.
Sometimes,I even (45)D a lesson or two.It was fun,and the students seemed to like me,so I was surprised when it came time for my (46)B.Mr.Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked,"Do you really want to teach?"
"Had I really been that (47)A?"I thought.
"Don't misunderstand.You'll do fine in teaching,"he continued."But,is your(48)C really in it?"
"Not really,"I (49)C."I want to write.I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much more…but I've been told it's tough to make it as a writer (50)D I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers(51)D to pursue writing."
As I shared with Mr.Ralston my hopes,dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan,he smiled and said,"Why are you preparing to (52)A with this back-up plan?If you want to be a writer,go for it!Pursue writing!"
Mr.Ralston's (53)A to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me push past my (54)B of not making it as a writer and simply"Go for it!"
That's what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in (55)Cseason.So,let's try and be like Mr.Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just the right time and make a difference in someone's life today.

12.Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or university.Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences,or easily one ofthe worst. (36)E
Follow these five tips to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse.
Talk things out.  (37)B  If something happens,sit down with your roommates and have a face-to-face conversation.Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness.
(38)A  Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don't.Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level,especially when you first meet.Remember,you are trying to make a new friend,not scare your roommate away.And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend,there is no need to worry about it.
Clean up after yourself.Or at least,keep your mess on your side.  (39)C  But being considerate with where you put your own stuff will help you avoid the arguments.
Ask before you take.This applies to food,clothes,supplies and anything else that you don't own.(40)G Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask.

A.Don't expect to be best friends.
B.Communication is of vital importance.
C.You don't need to keep the room clean and organized all the time.
D.Rooms can be really easy for a mess to pile up.
E.If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate,it all starts with you.
F.Not all roommates can become your best friends.
G.Show your roommate that you have respect for his or her belongings.
19.A long time ago,a student was in a physics class.He had achieved an(41)B perfect score,but the marker had (42)Chim poorly on one question.The question had asked him how he would (43)A the height of a building using a barometer(气压计).[
The student had written down."Go to the (44)D of the building.Drop the barometer and (45)Dthe seconds until it drops on the sidewalk below.(46)B use the formula(公式)for acceleration by gravity to (47)C the height of the building."
Of course,with the help of a barometer,the (48)B  expected the student to use air pressure as a tool for measuring height.So he couldn't (49)Dthat part of the test.
When the student brought up that his answer (50)A solve the question being asked,the professor promised he would let the student answer the question again with a different (51)D.And if the student solved the problem (52)C,he would award him the marks for the question.
Immediately the student (53)Bthat he would use the barometer to knock on the  (54)C of the landlord in the building.When the landlord answered the door.he would ask,"How (55)D is this building?"
At once,the professor (56)C what the student was doing.He asked him if he knew of any  (57)C methods to reach the answer.The student answered that he would (58)A a long string to the barometer and measure the length of the string.
The professor decided to (59)D the student the marks.As the story goes,the student was young Niels Bohr,later becoming the famous (60)C and discovering the nature of electrons inside atoms.

9.As you get older,it feels like time tends to move faster.As Dan Ariely explains over at The Wall Street Journal,we tend to fall into familiar routines (25)as/when we age and that makes time move quickly.
We perceive time as something like a stack of memories,so the less new experiences you have,the (26)less likely(likely) you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.
Time does go by (or,more accurately,it feels as if time is going by) more quickly,the older we get.
In the first few years of our lives,anything we sense or do is brand new,and many of our experiences are unique,so they remain firmly in our memories.But as (27)the years go by,we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences-both because we (28)have accomplished(accomplish) a lot and because we are slaves to our daily routines.
For example,try to remember (29)what happened to you every day last week,chances are that nothing extraordinary happened,so you will be hard-pressed to recall the specific things you did on Monday,Tuesday,etc.
What can we do about this?Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences,point out things we've never done,recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been.Such an app (30)could/canmake our lives more varied,encourage us to try new things,slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.
(31)until/if such an app arrives,try to do at least one new thing every week.It's not too difficult to push (32)yourself/yourselves/ourselves to do new things.

F.chemicals       G.concern          H.decline         I.occasionally     J.sensitive
More recent research has shown that many kinds of amphibians(两栖动物) are declining or have become extinct.Amphibians are animals,such as frogs,that live partly in water and partly on land.And they have been around for over 350million years.They have (41)survived three mass extinctions,including the extinction of the dinosaurs.Why are they dying out now?
The most serious aspect of amphibian loss,however,goes beyond the amphibians themselves.Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian (42)decline means for the planet as a whole.If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians,is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?
Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors.One of these factors is the (43)destruction of habitat,the natural area where an animal lives.Amphibians are very (44)sensitive to changes in their habitat.If they cannot find the right conditions,they will not lay their eggs.These days,as wild areas are covered with houses,roads,farms,or factories,many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.
There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline.Pollution is one of them.In many industrial areas,air pollution has (45)poisoned the rain,which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs that live there.In farming areas,the heavy use of (46)chemicals on crops has also killed off amphibians.Another factor is that air pollution has led to  (47)increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) light.This endangers amphibians,which seem to be (48)especially sensitive to UV light.
All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general (49)concern.These factors affect human beings,too.
13.[1]A new study by the scientists at Pennsylvania State University,finds that children who take a nap(小睡) when they are 4 and 5 years old,are less likely to be hyperactive (活动过度的) or experience depression (抑郁).
[2]The results of the study showed that kids between the ages of 4 and 5 years,who discontinued to take daytime naps,showed higher levels of hyperactivity,anxiety and depression,compared to their fellow kids who _________ at this point of their lives.In their research,the researchers were happy to show the importance of taking naps for perfect daytime functioning in young kids.
[3]It all depends on every individual case when children are ready not to take naps any more,said an author of die study,Dr.Brian Crosby,doctor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University.Dr.Crosby suggested that parents include a quiet"rest"time in the daily schedule of their children to allow kids to nap if needed.
[4]For the study purposes,the experts gathered data from 62 children between the ages of 4 and 5 years.All the kids were classified as either ones who took naps-7 percent,or the ones who did not take naps-23 percent,based on actigraphy(体动记录仪) data.Actigraphy data for each child who took part in the study,was collected continuously for 7 days to 14 days.Parents and caregivers were asked to provide information on their child's typical weekday and weekend bedtime and rise time,as well as their napping patterns,and also had to complete a behavioral assessment of the child.
[5]Dr.Crosby hopes that the new findings will encourage other researchers to study the ways in which napping influences daytime performances in children.
76.What's the result of the new study?(no more than 20 words)Children taking naps are less likely to be hyperactive or experience depression.
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with words to complete the sentence.(no more than 5 words)take a nap
78.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
To the delight of the researchers,they found in the study napping was important for children's wonderful daytime performances.In their research,the researchers were happy to show the importance of taking naps for perfect daytime functioning in young kids.
79.What suggestion can parents get from Dr.Crosby according to Paragraph 3?(no more than 15 words)schedule of their children to allow kids to nap if needed
80.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.Dr.Crosby 希望这个新的发现将能够鼓励其他研究人员研究午睡是如何影响孩子白天的表现..
