I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the munity into the dining hall for the evening meal.”Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.“And then?”“Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”“But who killed Norman?”“Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a mans life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishmentthe honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”There was a pause.56. What may have happened to Aryan? A. He was killed by poison.B. He was found missing. C. He was poisoned but saved. D.

Asking about a homework assignment in class or plaining about your painful legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident.“Small talk is where all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Lets have a look. Getting startedBegin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in (“Its cold in here, isnt it?”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.The personal introductionYou should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.Looking for topicsAt this point, you and your conversation partner need to find mon ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things youve said or heard earlier. Dont worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.Expanding the topicThe goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But dont let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.A polite endingWhen ending a conversation, let the person know youll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Heres my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.” 60. According to the article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to _.A. find mon ground B. impress the other personC. make a conversation D. make the room warmer61. What does the underlined word “dominate” mean in Tip?A. interrupt B. control C. adapt D. simplify 62. When ending a conversation, youd better _.A. talk about how much you want to keep talking B. show that youve not enjoyed the talkC. mention a specific movie that you loveD. give your opinion about the other persons earlier ments63. The main purpose of the article is to _.A. encourage students to make more friends B. give students tips on making small talkC. introduce popular topics for studentsD. teach students how to create friendshipsCIts such a shame to lose a free throw. Playing in the court has pressure from the opponent, time, your teammates, the audience, and yourself. You have to shoot the ball despite all the pressures around. But with a free throw, you have the ball, no one will try to get it from you, and you have all the time to shoot the ball. But why is it that many players, even good shooters, miss most of their free throws? Maybe they need more practice or maybe they need to apply more ways to improve their free throw. Improve your player or your free throwing skills by following the tips below:Make it personal. The truth is, there is no rule on how one should handle and throw the ball in a free throw. What matters is that the player should shoot the ball from the free throw line no matter how he does it. So when trying to improve your free throw shooting, better stick to what works the best for you. Do not copy other peoples techniques. Make it your own and leave those techniques as theirs. Formulate (公式化) a repetitive way of shooting the ball. A free throw should be personalized. But it should also be repetitive. You should be able to repeat your free throw techniques whether you are in your court or in another court, whether you are energized or tired. You cant say you have a personal free throw technique if you cant repeat it over and over again. Shoot at the same position and distance for every free throw. Basketball courts may be located in different places or maybe marked with different paint colors. But all of these courts maintain the same distance from the ring to the free throw line. Familiarize your perfect position when making your free throws. That should help you do your perfect throw. 64. Why do so many players fail to make a successful free throw? A. Because they dont have any special skills.B. Because they are lacking in practice and tips. C. Because they are not so familiar with rules. D. Because many of them are green hands. 65. What can you do if you want to be a wonderful free thrower? A. Learn from others.B. Form your own throwing skills. C. Keep active in the court.D. Learn to throw in different locations.66. The underlined word “ring” in the last paragraph may most probably mean “_”. A. soundB. basketC. ballD. group 67. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the above passage? A. How to play basketball successfully in the court.B. How to improve your basketball throw skills. C. How to gain more points in throwing. D. How to improve your basketball free throwing. DDuring the First World War, some Americans indirectly benefited because of the war. With two million white men fighting in Europe and no new immigrants entering the country, many jobs in the United States became available to blacks and women for the first time.Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by womens higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women weled the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war. American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black mens fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to pete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended. 68. Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I? A. They were taken to serve the war. B. They had their equal right at that time. C. Workforce was in great need. D. They had better productivities. 69. Which of the following is Untrue according to the above passage? A. Blacks women were not allowed to fight in World War I. B. All American women went to work during World War I. C. Northern cities applied more blacks during World War I. D. Women and blacks earned a lot during World War I.70. Which of the following is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Americans benefited a lot from World Ward I. B. World War I had strong effect on America. C. Some Americans benefited from World War I indirectly. D. U.S.A. women and blacks contributed much in World War I. 71. Which of the following shows the right structures of the above passage? A. B. C. D. EThoughts claim our attention continuously, and waste our time and energy on unimportant and useless matters. They actually rule our life. We have bee so used to this slavery, that we take it for granted, and have bee unconscious of this habit, except on certain occasions.While breathing, we do not need to pay attention to each inhalation and exhalation. We bee conscious of the process of breathing only when we have some difficulty with breathing, such as when our
