I was on the 23 after I had made some inquiries (询问). At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to 24 several hills and was dangerous ,I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 25 . Something strange happened after I drove a long 26 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 27, but the hilly road I decided to avoid .I realized that it was at the 28 that I had made the 29 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself .If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia.

They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not.In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all. Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing.The researchers believe that the elephants emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.41. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people? A. Maasai people are a threat to elephants. B. Kamba people raise elephants for farming. C. Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters. D. Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing.42. How did the elephants react to smell in the study? A. They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing. B. They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar.C. They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing. D. They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies. 43. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger.B. Elephants attack people who wear red clothing. C. Scientists are now able to control elephants emotions. D. Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants emotions very well. BThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about it than any of the other illnesses.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by coldThey are notThey are caused by viruses passing on from person to personYou catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has oneIf cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them foreverBut they do notAnd in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanesAt the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of timeAfter taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干） wet in drafty（通风的） roomsSome wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustionNot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his noseIf cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answerOne explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed onNo one has yet found a cure for the coldThere are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms44The fact that the Eskimos dont suffer colds shows that .Acolds are really full of mythsBviruses are the factors causing coldsCcolds are more severe than other illnessesDthe idea that cold leads to colds doesnt stand up45The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that .Abeing doused with cold water did harm to ones bodyBtaking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tiredCit was viruses not wet and cold that made people have coldsDpeople who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily46According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .Athere is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperatureBviruses can go into peoples warm bodies more easily in winterCstaying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass onDpeople are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter47What does the passage mainly discuss?AThe reason and the way people catch colds.BThe continued spread of colds.CThe experiments on colds.DThe myths about colds. CAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew48.

DCyberspace, the connections between computers in different places, considered as a real place where information, messages and pictures exist, mirrors the real world in many ways. People ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screenIdentity and appearance mean very little in cyberspaceRather, a persons thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really countSo even the shyest person can become a chat room starUsually, this “faceless” communication doesnt create problemsIdentity doesnt really matter when youre in a chat room discussing politics or hobbiesIn fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversationWhere else can so many people come together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat withTheyre looking for serious love relationshipsIs cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you askSome of these relationships actually succeedOthers fail miserablySupporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually firstPersonal appearance doesnt get in the wayBut critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspaceWhy? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view themInternet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to giveAnd they dont have to worry about what their “nonverbal” communication is doing for their imageIn a sense, theyre not really themselvesAll of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspaceBut not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationshipWith so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination “fill in the blanks” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in personHow someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real personSo, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything youll find on a computer screen”52According to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace .Astresses more about peoples identityBneeds people to be rich in knowledgeCputs emphasis on peoples thoughtsDallows people to discuss politics secretly53People who are against online dating think .Awhat is said online is under control of the InternetBone may not show the real self in cyberspaceCthe faceless communication is conservativeDit is hard to protect the others identity54By saying “With so many unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination fill in the blanks”, the writer means that .Apeople may be disappointed when they meet in personBthe Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view themCthe Internet allows people to get more information about their loved onesDpeople usually get to know each other by chance through the Internet55We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford .Ademands to develop the computer systemBbelieves it hopeless to find love onlineCencourages people to enjoy modern lifeDsupports to look for love in the real life EHans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell. Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then. “Theres no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldnt be bothered. So Ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers.” “Youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “Its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.” “Couldnt we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “Ill give him half my meal,
