15.It was another rainy day,it had stopped raining but the ground was still wet,with this remarkable smell of freshness,I was in the car with my friend,and ahead of us was a pitiful-looking old man,with a walking stick in his hand as it seemed he was having a hard time standing up or barely doing any effort.I have always had a weakness for old people; they break my heart,especially the ones begging on the streets,or selling flowers,I feel sad for them,having to be on the streets instead of being taken care of by their families or the government.
There was a car in front of us before we reach next to him.I had prepared money in my hand to give it to him,and I was looking at the car in front of us when the driver took a bill of money and threw it off the window-he threw it in the face of the old man and it fell on the ground,in a wet spot.The old man looked at the bill with a sad look,knowing it would take him an enormous effort to pick it up and he was hardly standing up,so I opened the car door,ran to him as he was bending to pick it up,took it,wiped it with my jeans since it was almost wet,gave it to him and gave him the money I had prepared for him.
The look on his face when he saw me doing that was the most rewarding look anyone has ever given me.He was shocked,and started thanking me for what I did and asking God to bless me,but I couldn't hear a word of what he was saying,I couldn't look him in the eye,how can someone so sweet like him with a kind and gentle look be left on the streets?
Helping him out surely made his day,but what he didn't know is that he affected me in a way he could never imagine-I still think about him very often,and I just hope everyone will look at old people the way I do.

59.In the author's opinion,who should be responsible for caring for old people?C
A.Old people themselves.              B.Some kind-hearted people.
C.Their families or the government.   D.Some non-governmental organizations.

A.the two totally different ways the old man was treated
B.how the old man picked up the bill with great difficulty
C.why the author was angry at the way the old man was treated
D.the rudeness of the driver who threw a bill of money to the old man

12.Grasse has always been associated with smell.In the Middle Ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning(制革) industry.The nobles only rarely visited the pretty and charming town to pick up their handmade Grasse leather gloves.In spite of their grand lands in the surrounding countryside,Grasse was certainly a necessary evil with no self-respecting nobles owning buildings there.
Molinard,a Grasse tanner(制革工人) himself,created the first Grasse perfume.Word spread like wildfire among the nobles about the designer perfumed gloves.Molinard offered a pair of his gloves to Catherine de Medici( the Queen),who gave plenty of praise to her Grasse perfumed gloves; she almost assured (确保)  Grasse's reputation as the perfume capital of the world.Thanks to Catherine de Medici,Grasse merchants were encouraged to grow the perfume plants that tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the nobles.
Grasse has four perfume factories as well as a perfume school and a perfume museum.Fragonard's perfume museum is situated on the first floor of its perfume factory and displays an amazing private collection of perfume bottles,presentation boxes,documents and equipment that tells the history of perfume making from its earliest beginnings to the present day.The perfume museum is open every day,Sundays and public holidays included.
Grasse is certainly a perfumed heaven, a far cry from its smelly beginning as a leather tanning town.Now famous for a far sweeter smell,Grasse is surrounded by fields of flowers that make real estate(不动产) in Grasse very popular.
Those looking for real estate in France would have to go a long way to find anywhere more charming than Grasse with the city of Nice and its airport just a short drive away and plenty of activities to enjoy in the surrounding countryside.Real estate in Grasse is situated between the Southern Alps and the Cote d'Azur,allowing owners the best of both worlds.
28.Why was Grasse considered to be necessary although it was an evil?A
A.Because it produced leather gloves.
B.Because it made the nobles look respectable.
C.Because many nobles lived in its countryside.
D.Because it was a beautiful and attractive town.
29.According to the text,Fragonard's perfume museumB.
A.has several perfume factories       
B.can be visited all the year around.
C.is famous for its perfume school

A.a good long cry   
B.totally absent     
C.very different    
D.far distant
31.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?B
A.Grasse is still less competitive in real estate.
B.Grasse is now a perfect place for people to live.
C.Grasse is becoming an important tourist attraction.
D.Living in Grasse might cause you much inconvenience.
6.A man enters a store to buy milk.He walks out of the store with milk,That's all--milk.At the same time,a woman enters the same store and also buys milk.Besides,she buys chicken to make dinner that night.Then she gets coffee for breakfast and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a store.Generally speaking,men do one thing at a time while women do many.Doing many things at one time is often called^multi-tasking a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains.A recent study has proved what we have known all along-men and women think differently.
Last year,some scientists studied brain images of 949people aged from 8to 22years old They found that male brains have more connections only on one side of the brain.In the female brain,they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain The left side of the brain is known as the side of"reason".The right one is known as the"creative"side.
Regina Verma,a professor in the brain study,says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain.Men,she adds,generally use just one side of the brain.
As a result,men generally deal directly with a problem.In fact,there is a strong connection between the"understandings and the"action"parts of men's brains.Women,however,might include other parts of the brain,like the part connected with rsson§d the part connected with sensitivity (敏感性) when solving a problem.They take a less direct path to find a solution.

63.In paragraph 1,the writer is trying toA.
A.introduce the topic of the passage
B.describe how whopping is going on
C.compare behaviors of ms and women
D.tell us that women buy more than men
64.What's  the finding of the study?C
A.Womeh can find a solution to a problem directly.
B.Men use different parts of the brains to solve a problem.
C.Men and women think differently when solving probles.

65.In which section of a newspaper are we more likely to read this article?A
A.Science.  B.Business.  C.Education.  D.Life.
3.Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds?If so,you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation.Why do birds fly this way?Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds.
One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature.The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy.Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow,the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow.This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70percent less energy during their flight.When the lead bird becomes tired,a more rested bird takes over that position.
But saving energy is important for more than one reason.Sometimes food is short during migration flights.Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.
When food is sighted,the birds guide one another in a different way.When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area,it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction.Then,this bird becomes the new leader.It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going.Then the whole group makes a change in direction,gently streaming from the sky down to the ground.This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food.
Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation.Researchers believe that the birds come together if a predator (天敌) is spotted.The predator may then become impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group.The birds will often dip and dive as a group,frustrating even the most persistent enemy.Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack.
The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork.As transportation expert Henry Ford once said,"If everyone is moving forward together,then success takes care of itself."When it comes to teamwork,these feathered fliers are a soaring success!

43.According to the passage,we can learn that birdsC.
A.move faster than cyclists
B.are smarter than other animals
C.play different roles in a formation

A.the group follows the discoverer
B.the lead bird decides what to do
C.the discoverer leaves the group
D.the whole group forms a stream
45.To protect themselves from attack,birds willD.
A.break into groups   B.come close together
C.change directions   D.fly up and down
46.Which is the best title for the passage?A

D.A Science Behind Flying.
10.Airport Delays on the Rise
Delays cause extreme anger among travelers,and cost the country billions in lost productivity.
An FAA study listed eleven major problems and suggested eleven solutions.All problems are in air traffic control.The various regions(地区)don't talk to each other enough.Each region operates differently and the number of planes in so-called regional traffic is increasing.
In the first of eleven solutions,an FAA national center will take control from the regions during heavy traffic or bad weather.
Jane Garvey of the FAA says,"The purpose of the command(指挥)center is to really make those decisions that affect the system in total."Also,the FAA promises publicly again to upgrade its computers.
Michael Barr is a safety expert at the University of Southern California,"We've got fares that are reduced.More people want to fly and we are actually filling the air of the United States with air traffic."
An example of this is that the San Francisco International Airport is growing fast as a world-wide gateway and as a center to an expanded(扩展的)regional service.
Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says,"If we've got 16,17,18 aircraft,departing at 8 a.m.,the guy that is on the 18th plane is going to be 40 minutes late."
Jane Garvey says,"It's important to note that flying is more popular.It's becoming a form of public transportation for a number of people.That's having an effect on the delay numbers as well."
Weather causes about 70% of delays.Then the FAA moves planes farther apart from five miles to as much as 20 miles.The new rule may reduce that to 10 miles.But if the sky is already crowded,where do those planes go?
A traveler says,"Naturally,I think the more space between planes,the safer for travelers."
The FAA calls it an improvement,not a final solution.The public say the major problems remain:too many planes,too few controllers and too little modernization.
44.According to the FAA study,the biggest problem leading to airport delays lies inC.
A.the reduced plane fares         
B.the expanded regional service
C.the poor air traffic control        
D.the increasing passenger numbers
45.What is the writer's attitude towards reducing the space between planes?A
A.Doubtful
B.Supportive
C.Confident
D.Interested.
46.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.the FAA will take control from the regions according to their requirements
B.passengers had better be prepared for airport delays in the near future
C.upgraded computer systems promise planes to be on time
D.plane fares will get raised to reduce passengers.
20.Most students,when asked about their ideal graduation gift,would probably reply,"A car",or"Money for a deposit on a house".Cai Kaiyuan,21,made a different choice.As a graduation gift to himself,he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Tibet.
Cai,a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College,originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet.During his journey,Cai's idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape."I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me.I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,"he said.
It turned out cycling on a plateau (高原) was extremely challenging.And it has kept changing his outlook on life.Cai's fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain,where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero.At night,the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times.The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak."At the most serious moment,I felt that my life was on the line,"said Cai.
However,he also gained something unexpected.At Ya'an,a city in Sichuan,he met a group of tourists who are also university students.A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey.He was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.
It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai's spirits began to rise.The hotel manager's two daughters enjoyed talking with him.The kids asked about his experiences on his trip,and showed him the beautiful local lakes."They told me that they always liked to talk to guests,as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,"he said,"Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan."
Cai was touched by the girls'story.Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers."I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,"said Cai.His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.
21.According to the passage,Cai Kaiyuan's graduation gift to himself isD.
A.to have money for a deposit on a house      
B.to travel by cycling from Sichuan to Tibet
C.to own a new car and marry a slender girl     
D.to work as a volunteer teacher in Tibetan school
22.What words can be used to describe Cai's journey to Tibet?B
A.unique and pleasant            
B.challenging but rewarding
C.relaxing but unexpected         
D.freezing cold and boring
23.The purpose of writing this passage is toA.
A.tell us about an unusual graduation gift      
B.introduce a dangerous journey to us
C.give advice on how to travel to Tibet        
D.encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet
24.Which of the followings is NOT the reason for Cai to make his decision?B
A.He met Wu Ling and was impressed by her plan.
B.His parents and teachers persuaded him to go to Tibet.
C.He was moved by the kid's desire to improve their Mandarin.
D.A lack of teachers makes the local people have little chance to learn.
7."Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy-they're given after all.Choices can be hard."--Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300percent per year.I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast,and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30years old,and I'd been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't,and I wasn't sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy,I'd been a garage inventor.I'd always wanted to be an inventor,and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people,and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park,listened carefully to me,and finally said,"That sounds like a really good idea,but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job."That logic made some sense to me,and he convinced me to think about it for 48hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice,but ultimately (最后),I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration,I took the less safe path to follow my passion,and I'm proud of that choice.For all of us,in the end,we are our choices.

55.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?C
A.His dream of being an inventor.
B.The support of his wife.
C.The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.
