Then she turned to me．Kissed me and said calmly，"Honey，you just have to learn how to take control．"With that，she left the room．
After watching crazy woman rushing in and out，shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood（情绪） had changed．I was laughing．How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things．Twenty minutes later my agent did call．I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly．

18．Mark Twain was a great writer．He was from the USA．He was born in 1835．He was also a famous speaker．He was famous for his sense of humor．Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time．
　　One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing．Before he was going to leave，one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes  in the town and told him that he'd better not go there．Mark Twain waved （摇动） his hand and said，"It doesn't matter．The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine．I don't think they will come to visit me．"
    After he arrived at the town，Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station．He went into his room，but when he was just about to have a rest，quite a few mosquitoes flew about him．The waiters felt very sorry about that．"I'm very sorry，Mr Mark Twain．There are too many mosquitoes in our town．"One of them said to him．
    Mark Twain，however，made a joke，saying to the waiter，"The mosquitoes are very clever．They know my room number．They didn't come into the wrong room．"What he said made all the people present laugh heartily．

19．"People are ruder today because they are rushed and more‘time poor'than ever before，"says Patsy Rowe，"Manners have fallen off the radar（雷达）．"Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise．Here are some examples of rudeness．
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet．To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward．It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds．When you have dinner with friends，you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone．We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news，so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with．What is worse，some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email．
However，rudeness is never acceptable．Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you．If you have something awful to say，have the courage to face the person and say it，write a letter or email and sign it，or forget it．Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting．
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings．Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives．An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings．People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them．

9．What can be infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1？D
A．People can tell good from bad behavior．
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior．
C．Radar can be used to predict human behavior．
D．People care little about their behavior．
10．Some people are less willing to deal with humans becauseB．
A．they are growing too independent
B．they are becoming less patient
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward．
11..What can we learn from the last paragraph？C
A．Technology will take over lives one day．
B．Technology can never be blamed
C．We should applaud good behavior．
D．We should keep pointing out mistakes．
16．Don'thesitate（犹豫，迟疑）to make comments or suggestions if you have any．
3．Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature，but was also a pack rat．He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets，leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author．
"Ernest Hemingway：Between Two Wars，"which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum，is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work．The largest and most interesting section focuses on the'20s，Hemingway's Paris years，and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting：Hemingway before he became Hemingway．
The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded，manly，Hem．He's shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat，the Pilar，with Carlos Gutiérrez，the fisherman who became the model for"The Old Man and the Sea．"But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome，clean-shaven，19-year-old standing on crutches．This is from the summer of 1918，when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction．
The evidence at this exhibition suggests that，in the early days，he often wrote in pencil，mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand．The first draft of the short story"Soldier's Home"was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office．The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going．
F．Scott Fitzgerald （some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view） famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of"The Sun Also Rises，"complaining about the"elephantine facetiousness"of the beginning，and Hemingway obliged，getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost"meta"．In 1929，in a nine-page penciled critique，Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for"A Farewell to Arms．"Hemingway took some of these，but less graciously，and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end．
The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself．There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with，and there are lists and lists of possible titles，including the 45he considered for"Farewell"and 47different endings for the novel．
In display case after display case，you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself，discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be．In a moving 1925letter to his parents，who refused to read"In Our Time，"his second story collection，he writes："You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not just to describe life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive．So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing．You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful．"
By the time the Second World War broke out，Hemingway had solidified into the iconic figure we now remember：Papa．Even J．D．Salinger calls him this．And a blustery，cranky Hemingway appears in 1949when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross，the editor of The New Yorker，complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of"Across the River and Into the Trees，"not，in truth，a very good book．But，Hemingway，often drinking and depressed，didn't know it，his best work was behind him by then．
66．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined words"a pack rat"（para.1）？D
A．a person who enjoys collecting things
B．a person who cannot be relied on
C．a person who likes to collect rubbish
D．a person who doesn't waste anything
67．How many of Hemingway's works are mentioned in this passage？C
A.4             B.5            C.7         D.6
68．We can conclude from the Morgan show that sometimes Hemingway was a personA
A．stubborn but full of enthusiasm about love
B．unconfident but full of inspirations
C．casual but full of heroism
D．bad-tempered but full of strange habits
69．What does the writer truly mean by saying"Hemingway before he became Hemingway"？D
A．Hemingway wrote many masterpieces before he killed himself．

13．One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged（淹没） in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．
The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive．We looked forward to going there again!Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation．In the Italian consulate（领事馆），one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views，hospitable（好客的） hosts，comfortable living conditions which delighted us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great us．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just twice or three times．So，if you're also planning a"single"trip，don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．
29．Why does the author want to go to Italy again？D
A．He had a great time there．

C．His friend invited him to go there．

B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate．
C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome．
D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance．
31．In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explainsB．
A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip．
D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice．
20．Maybe you know floods（洪水），droughts（干旱），earthquakes，sandstorms and so on．But have you ever heard of typhoons？
Typhoons are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer  sun，it evaporates（蒸发掉） into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then，cooler air around it rushes in． It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second，a typhoon begins．
A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are．
Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004，Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang，and 24 people were missing．In May 2006，Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian，and thousands of houses were damaged．
What to do when a typhoon hits
Stay inside．Close all the windows and stay away from them．
Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information．
If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away．
31．Typhoons often happenA．
A．in the hot season              
B．in the cold season
C．in the daytime                   
D．at night
