17．Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in，I was always asked to lend a hand in animal（36）D．One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up   （37）A   my door，saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk．I quickly （38）Athe kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth．I（39）B and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for（40）

16．1）One in four people spend more time socializing online，using sites such as Facebook，than they do in person，according to research．
    2）People now have 11 different ways of staying in contact with their friends from the comfort of their sofa or bedroom．
    3）These include simple email，messenger，text and several forms of social networking from Twitter to Facebook，said the survey by online casino Yazino．
    4）It is found even when there is time to see people face to face，like at a weekend，up to 11 percent of all adults still choose to         ．
    5）This could be down to laziness，the cost of going out or simply not wanting too much personal contact with friends and family but just enough to swap brief messages and online chats．
    6）It all adds up．The average online Brit spends 4.6 hours a week talking to friends online and only six hours a week talking to people in person，said Yazino．
    7）There is even an army of"extreme sofalisers"-the three percent who spend a staggering 25 hours or more each week talking to friends via electronic devices．
    8）The survey of 2，000 adults also found 11 percent organize all their social diary around Facebook，Bebo or other network sites．
    9）Yazino founder Hussein Chahine said，"Communication is constantly evolving．Some people are as used to seeing their friends'online image as they are their face．"
    10）"We are now just as likely to SMS or email a friend as we are to call them．"
    11）"People increasingly prefer quick and frequent engagement with instant updates on news than a prolonged chat and are also finding new ways to catch up with friends from their comfort of their sofa．"
12）More than seven in ten text their friends and family and 31 percent use social networking sites while just 27 percent now use email as their primary means of contact．
13）A further 18 percent use live chat and instant messaging systems．

15．Are you lighting your candle？

14．The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a"surgeon"？As my year as chief resident （进修医生） drew to a close，I asked myself this question on more than one occasion．
The answer，I concluded，was（50）D．When you can say to yourself，"There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently （胜任地），treat just （51）B or better than any other surgeon"--then，and not until then，you are indeed a surgeon．I was （52）D that point．
Take，（53）A，the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had （54）C the ringing of the telephone．I knew it meant another critical resolution to be （55）A．Often，after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular （56）D，I'd have trouble getting back to sleep．I'd （57）B all the facts of the case and，often，wonder if I had made a poor decision．More than once at two or three in the morning，after lying （58）A for an hour，I'd get out of bed，dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself．It was the only way I could find the （59）A of mind I needed to relax．
Now，in the last month of my residency，（60）C was no longer a problem．Sometimes I still couldn't be sure of my decision，but I had learned to accept this as a （61）B problem for a surgeon．I knew that with my knowledge and experience，any decision I'd made was certain to be a （62）C one．It was a nice feeling．
This all sounds conceited （自负的） and I guess it is--but a surgeon needs conceit．He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the （63）D and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine．He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world．Call it conceit--call it self-confidence； whatever it was，I had it．And it is，I am sure，what a person has to make a（n） （64）B in life．

51．A．more thanB．as well asC．other thanD．as long as

13．3D films are fun一of course they are，even the bad ones．But these movies are still in their infancy．The question is whether 3D filmmakers can do better．
I have no doubt they will，but I believe they will achieve cosmetic changes around the edges rather than revolutionary breakthroughs.3D filmmakers don't realize，or at least have not sufficiently taken to heart，that the medium they're working in is binocular （同时用双目的）film，not merely 3D film．And once one realizes this，it is possible to see that whole fields of potential film experience have been left entirely untapped．
When we say 3D movies，we are referring to stereopisis （立体视觉）．But binocular vision refers to the use of two eyes for vision，whereas stereopsis is just one of the functions binocular vision gives us．
Why do we have such a large binocular vision field in the first place？I have argued in my book，The Vision Revolution，that we have forward-facing eyes in order to see well in cluttered forest habitats．Our large binocular field evolved for seeing past layers of clutter（ 一堆杂乱的东西），and integrating two different views of a scene into a single combined view．I call this function of binocular vision"X-ray vision"because it allows us to see the clutter as semi-transparent，something through which to see the scene beyond．
If 3D filmmakers are going to throw binocular images at our big binocular field，then they should be sending us views of the kind that field evolved to process：views within cluttered environments，whether leafy forests or spider-web-filled rooms．In this light，3D film ought to put the viewer into the bodies and eyes of characters in the story，placing him or her into the interactions between the characters and their surroundings．This would allow viewers to truly see out of the eyes of others，to experience other worlds，and yet not have the views of the scenes beyond blocked out，just as in real life．A simple first step forward is to begin calling them binocular movies，not 3D movies．

47．The underlined word"cosmetic"in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to"A．
A．seeming
B．welcome
C．unnecessary
D．thorough
48．According to the author，why have 3D filmmakers not made a breakthrough？D
A．They are short of resources．
B．They are satisfied with what they have achieved．
C．They don't know how 3D really works．
D．They don't know what 3D technology can really achieve．
49．What would binocular movies be able to do？B
A．Take advantage of X-rays．
B．Make use of cluttered images．
C．Place viewers within real cluttered environments during movies．
D．See the surrounding world through the eyes of other viewers．
50．What is the main idea of the text？C
A．The evolution of binocular vision．
B．The problems 3D filmmakers face．

12．A park officer noticed Sam consistently caught more fish than anyone else．While other guys caught only three or four a day，Sam's boat was always full（16）of  fish．The officer，curious，asked Sam his secret．The（17）successful  （success） fisherman invited the officer to accompany him and observe．So the next morning they took off in Sam's boat and the officer got ready to see（18）how  it was done．Sam's approach was simple．He took out a stick of dynamite（炸药），lit it，and threw it in the air．The explosion rocked the lake with such a force（19）that  dead fish immediately began to surface．Sam took out a net and started taking（20）them up．
The officer，after（21）recovering （recover） from the shock，began yelling at Sam．"You can't do this!It's illegal!"Sam，meanwhile，took out another stick of dynamite．He lit it and（22）dropped （drop） it in the officer's lap with these words，"Are you going to sit there all day complaining，（23）or  are you going to fish？"
The poor officer was left with（24）a  fast decision to make．He had suddenly been transformed from an observer to a（25）participant （participate）．A choice had to be made quickly and with a sigh of regret he threw out the stick and waited for the explosion．
11．A civilized society has the virtues of beauty，culture，comfort and peace．However，the motor-car is （1）C these virtues．
A visitor from outer space viewing our cities would conclude that the human race is made up of shiny metallic"beetles"creeping along vast networks．He is not far（2）D．The motor-car，far from being（3）B a vehicle for man，is determining the design of whole cities．The single largest consumer of valuable city（4）Ais its roads and car parks．If there were fewer roads，we could have more natural parks in which to（5）B，more cultural centres and more public squares．Cars rob our cities of these civilized（6）A．
Not only do cars occupy space，they also create（7）C．Psychologists have confirmed that noise causes stress，and cities are indeed very noisy places．Cars are also the single largest（8）B
of air pollution．How can we say we are（9）D when we live in an atmosphere full of stress and health dangers？
Our economy depends on （10）A．These days it is becoming rare and（11）C，yet cars continue consuming large amounts of petrol．Energy，which could be used to run factories and houses，is being（12）B on roads．
Finally，cars have created a new type of monster，the motorist．Necessity has made man forget his gentle（13）D  and has transformed him into a selfish，dangerous monster，frightening innocent pedestrians，killing dogs，swearing at other motorists．The car is an outlet for his aggression．
To sum up，the motor-car has been（14）D  for destroying our cities，damaging our health，increasing economic problems and（15）C  humankind of their gentle nature．

10．We all hope to live in a clean and beautiful world．Unfortunately，we produce waste every day，（61）which does harm to our environment．Still，we can all do something to help．In fact，even the simplest everyday activities can make a real （62）difference （differ） to the environment．Here are some ideas for you．
Don't waste things．This saves money and reduces waste （63）going（go） into the environment．Before we buy something new，think （64）whether/if it is really necessary-or maybe the old one will be just as good!
Use things（65）foras long as possible．When we buy things，make sure that they last a long time．We should repair them if things no longer function well instead of throwing them away and buying new （66）ones．Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag．（67）It is better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again．We'd better buy products （68）made （make） from recycled materials，such as recycled paper，to help save trees．
It is high time we（69）took/should take （take） action now!If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment，there will be（70）less（little） pollution and the world will become cleaner and more beautiful．

8．How I Turned to Be Optimistic（乐观的）
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's
House，and my mother said that we （25）would leave/be leaving/were leaving （leave） for America soon．We were on the bus then．I
was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me．I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to （26）which I listened every morning．
I do not remember myself （27）crying （cry） for this reason again．In fact I think I cried verylittle when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives．When we were leaving I thought aboutall the places I was going to see．The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then．
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but （28）theidea did not come to me at once．For the first two years in New York I was really lost．I did not quite know what I was or what I should be．Mother remarried，and things became even （29）more complex       （complex） for me．Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each orher．However，my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since my English vas superior （30）to anyone else's at home．I translated at interviews with immigration officers，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives．
From my experiences，I believe that my life will turn out all right （31）even though/ifit is not that easy．
