I was surprised to see him _36_ his hat backwards. It looked _37_. When I asked Dad _38_ his hat was on backwards, he smiled and gave me an explanation. It seemed there was a large water _39_ for the cattle that had to be filled every day. Because it took a long time to finish it, he would _40_ the water on and then go about doing other things like cleaning the barn or _41_ the cattle, which usually cost him twenty minutes or even more time. The _42_, of course, was that if he forgot to turn the water off, the tank would overflow, and water would be wasted and it would make a _43_. Then he told me the _44_ he had his hat turned around. When he finished his jobs and began to take off his work clothes, he would notice as he _45_ his hat that the visor (帽舌) was not where it was supposed to be. This would _46_ him the water was still running and he would go back to the barn and turn it _47_.I saw my father develop many other _48_ over the years. And I never forgot how helpful and _49_ they are. Some may have even been life-saving. As we all know, sometimes people forget things and make mistakes _50_ they may try their best. Using good methods can help them _51_ more effectively. Instead of _52_ peopleor yourselffor mistakes, youd better look for some ways that will help them in _53_ what they truly wish to do. This could be practical, and as simple as a checklist. Now Ive _54_ a lot of them, such as putting my car keys in the same place every time. It could be having someone _55_ your work and it could also be a computer program that finds out whether your calculations are correct. 36. A. passingB. wearingC. holding D. taking37.

And most people have never considered running at 30 kilometers an hour. But just stop for a moment and think about how our new product could change your life.Your daily journey to your place of work is probably a mad dash (冲) for the bus. There is no point in taking your car because there are traffic jams, and anyway the car parks are probably very expensive or, worse still, full. Here is where Powerisers can help. It takes just a couple of minutes to put them on and then you are away, going past others or even jumping over the object which blocks your way.That is the practical use for our product, but then there is sport and exercise. Powerisers are set to be the next extreme sport and the keep-fit tools. You can imagine the 100 meters, the high jump or basketball performed by athletes wearing Powerisers. And what better way to build your muscles and keep fit?Our product is very simple. It is powered by a superlight spring, which uses the gravitational (重力的) pull from your body weight and pushes you with superhuman strength. There have been no records of serious injury related to the use of Powerisers, but extreme caution is recommended. We strongly advise the wearing of protective clothing, including at least a helmet (头盔).Powerisers make you feel as if you were walking on the moon. Now we make two different models: Basic and Professional. The Basic model is designed for the occasional users and costs around $500. The Professional model, which is designed for competitive use, has a strongly-made structure and different springs, though that comes at the increased price of $800. Our Powerisers are guaranteed for 2 years and will be replaced without question if they fail during that period. That is how confident we are. 56. According to the passage, Powerisers can help you _. A. get on the bus B. jump over blocksC. relax hard musclesD. lift heavy weights 57. A helmet is recommended to users to _. A. prevent them from being injuredB. provide them with superhuman strengthC. offer them the feeling of walking on the moonD. bring them good results in competitive situations 58. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage? A. To advertise a sports product.B. To show advantages of taking exercise.C. To explain basic principles of Powerisers. D. To introduce the development of Powerisers. BWhen school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning. As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldnt listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldnt make me stop, and walked away.A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instructionnot a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didnt deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.59.

My Way of Losing WeightCBrilliant Autumn ColorsAs trees across the northern areas turn gold and deep red, you can find autumn colors in parks and woodlands, in the cities, countryside, and mountains. People are wondering what these colors are for. For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees in the autumn. Up to now there have been different explanations for why natural selection makes autumn colors so widespread. Dr. Hamilton from Oxford University proposed that bright autumn leaves contained a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae (幼虫) come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees. Dr. Hamilton suggested that trees could ward off these insects with poisons. They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs. Dr. Hamilton and his students turned the theory into a mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed drive the evolution (进化) of bright leaves. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time the leaves change, all the insects that feed on leaves are gone,” Dr. Hoch said. He believed that autumn colors served mainly as protection. According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost (冰冻) injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscreen to avoid the destruction to the leaves. Besides, autumn colors might protect the leaves from water loss. If the cells in the leaves become dry, the connections between the cells will be weakened and the leaves will break off. Although there are different explanations about autumn colors, it has really given them a deeper concern for this time of year. “People sometimes say that science makes the world less interesting by just explaining things away,” one famous biologist said. “But with autumn leaves, the more you know about them, the more amazed you are.” 63. According to Dr. Hamilton, there is a connection between _.A. the size of leaves and the survival of insects B. the size of leaves and the behavior of insectsC. the color of leaves and the quality of insectsD. the color of leaves and the number of insects64. Dr. Hoch and his team give the explanation that _.A. climate has an influence on the color of the leavesB. sun damage and frost injury drive the insects awayC. the color of autumn leaves has a protective functionD. autumn colors bring great destruction to the leaves65. The underlined phrase “ward off” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. catchB. attract C. ignore D. prevent 66. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?P 2Sp 2Sp 1CP 1CPP 1CPSp 1Sp 2CP 2A B P 1CPSp 2CSp 1Sp 2P 2Sp 1C DP 1CPCP 2P 3CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDMean Machines?“If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing harm caused by robots.” Author Daniel Wilsons description of How to Survive a Robot Uprising seems like it is straight out of a robot disaster movie. “The problem with cleverly-designed robots is that we become dependent on them,” says Wilson. The classic movie Westworld describes an amusement park where, after a safety error, the robots spend a killing period of time. Yet in reality, statistics show that as technology improves there is a trend towards increased safety. Similarly, public transport systems using computers and machines are believed to be more reliable than those in human control, and a robot-assisted operation is more precise and results in fewer medical problems. But where does the idea of robots being cruel and harmful come from? “Robots were pop culture figures before they existed,” says Wilson. “They were frightening creatures in novels. When robots really started existing, they already had this image (形象) set up not based on reality. Thats exactly what happeneda movie monster became real.”Recent reports talked of a robot “attack” on a worker in Sweden. Even if these references to an attack rather than an error are meant in joke, this only makes the problem worse. “Were so interested in the robot-attack storyline that it can influence the way real robot-safety problems are discussed,” says one journalist. But with robots becoming increasingly advanced, is it going to come a time when an error could become an unkind and cruel attack?“Robots are just a bunch of metal,” says one engineer. “If you are scared, then you are scared of the people building them.” So what do engineers think we should be afraid of? Nanotechnology is the science which involves developing and making extremely small but very powerful machines. Some engineers suggest that with these new developments come “severe dangers” if they are used inappropriately. Its theory goes that “the small size and rapid potential of nano-built weaponry (武器) will make it difficult to control and hard to keep out of the hands of terrorists.” And this is a view shared by some artificial intelligence experts. “With robots if it makes an error, you can unplug it and shut it down. But if you have lots of nano-built weapons, which are extremely small, there is no way you can do the same thing.” 67. In the first paragraph, Daniel Wilson _.A. confirms the existence of robotsB. introduces the development of robotsC. states that robots are potentially dangerousD. suggests that we should be dependent on robots 68. People have come to think of robots as something bad because _.A. designers of the first robots spread this ideaB. reality shows they are the same as in the moviesC. movie audience continue to give this impressionD. they were originally described this way in novels69. The author believes that the report of the robot attack in Sweden _.A. is intended as a joke B. serves as a serious warningC. presents the technical problemD. expresses sympathy for the worker 70. What are experts afraid of when considering nanotechnology?A. Robots could use it inappropriately.B. It could make robots harder to control.C. It could be more dangerous than robots.D. Therell be more terrorist attacks because of it.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dear DiaryMany people have the habit of
