When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, _37_ embarrassed. You have to take a muter train(通勤车) any morning or evening to _38_ the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or _39_ off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive._40_, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once _41_, makes the offender immediately the _42_of criticism.One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)_43_to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it _44_. Some people argue that it is because the British weather _45_ follows forecast and thus bees a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much _46_ in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, _47_ to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurateor as inaccurateas the weathermen in his _48_. Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references _49_ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are _50_ by ments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” _51_ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated(夸大) and ic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his _52_. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is _53_to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)_54_ subject to which a response may well be _55_of even the most reserved of the British.36. A.relaxedB.frustratedC.amusedD.exhausted37. A.yet B.otherwiseC.evenD.so38.

Cellphone theft is increasing in cities around the country. Its estimated that stolen devices cost consumers $40 billion a year. The problem is being rampant, which badly calls for actions. So cellphone carriers and the device makers are under great pressure to figure out a way to prevent theft.Dr George Gascon wants to see a kill switch on phones. So when people get the report its stolen, they could be rendered inoperable(不能使用的). He accuses the mobile industry of dragging its feet to what he calls “a technological solution”. Every time that a phone gets stolen, we go back and buy a new one. So the carrier gets to buy another one, the seller gets to make another sale, and the profit just continues to be rising.The nations largest carriers, now, are taking part in a new nationwide database for stolen phones to prevent them from being activated(激活). But it works a little to have a meaningful impact, because stolen phones often wind up overseas and fetch more dollars. The late model iPhone can just bring about $300 here. If it gets exported to Latin America or Africa, it can bring in as much as $700 to $1000.But is a kill switch even possible? We went to the leading mobile security pany in the world, Lookout, which makes a popular app for smart phones. The idea is just to be able to render a phone useless. Can that happen? Its technically likely. A phone is just a puter. If you destroy the operating system the phone relies on, the phone will not be able to be used.So, if its technically possible, why isnt that happening? Because its not a very easy thing to do. But according to critics, the point is that the entire industry needs bolder thinking.56. What does the underlined word “rampant” (Para.1) probably mean?A. Extremely cool.B. Increasing in an uncontrolled way.C. Easy to handle.D. Getting more necessary57. What can we get to know from the second paragraph?A. The solution of a kill switch is a practical way to prevent phones from being stolen.B. The mobile industry now has a hard time in creating phones with new functions.C. The producers dont care much about cellphone theft. D. There are lots of people who have had their cellphones stolen.58. From the passage, we know that the kill switch on the phones can_.A. make the phones useless as soon as theyre stolen B. track the stolen phones and find the thief C. stop phone theft by making a loud noise D. improve the functions of the stolen phonesBTheres a moody, selfish bear living in my house. He moved in a year or so ago, and Ive spent a lot of time trying to figure out what hes done with my sweet, thoughtful son, Nathaniel. Ive also spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out where, as a parent, I went wrong how its possible that I raised this unhappy, eye-rolling teenage boy. But then I read a recent study that let me off the hook. The study found that adolescent boys lack of empathy is biological. In other words, its not my fault. And its really not Nahtaniels, either. As is found in the study, girls ability to consider other peoples perspective begins to rise at age 13. Boys, on the other hand, dont gain this ability until about age 15. There is, however, good news. Apparently, if I can go through the rough patch, this period will pass and my kind, lovable son will e back to me. His affective empathy will magically restore itself as he gets a little older. Meanwhile, Im determined not to give up. Just because I now know that Nathaniels behavior is due more to nature doesnt mean that I should stop trying to parent him. In fact, better parenting is arguably whats required. For me, this begins with exercising more patience than I often feel. I know that Nathaniel is a deeply sensitive and caring person who can be overwhelmed by his feelings. I dont want to give him free reign(支配), either, just because hes a teen. Its my job to remind himin the same way that I told him over and over again when he was little to say “please” and “thank you” until it became automaticthat he simply cant treat people poorly, even when he feels very bad. Weve also talked about why we sometimes treat the people we love the most in life the worst. It can be hard to know if any of this is really sinking in. But from time to time, I catch a glimpse of his warm, charming self: during a family dinner and a movie, when he is being funny or silly and making us all laugh, or whenever I can cheat a quick hug from him. And I am confident that there will be much more of this to e, at least by the time he is 17. Thats a mere 414-day wait. But, hey, whos counting?59. The underlined part “let me off the hook” (in Para. 2)means that the study makes the author_. A. take pride in her son B. decide to talk to her son C. concern less about her son D. begin to think about where shes wrong60. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. The authors determination to give her son a happy family environment. B. The author new findings about what kind of person her son is. C. The authors deep consideration on how to educate her son. D. The authors regret for misunderstanding her son. 61. The author wrote the fifth paragraph to show that_. A. the author begins to understand her son B. its really hard to get along with her son C. theres still a long way to go to improve her son D. theres one positive change happening to her son 62. What message does the author mainly intend to convey to us?A. When your teen boy bees moody, blame biology. B. Parents should work together to change kids bad habits. C. Its important for parents to develop a good relationship with kids. D. Parents should blame themselves first when facing a trouble-making kid. CPlants can do arithmetic(算术). No, its not that they are doing quadratic equations(二次方程) or some such. Scientists from the John Innes Center in the UK have found that plants do perform what could best be called arithmetic division overnight. The reason is to help them make it through the night without starving.During the day, plants feed themselves by taking energy from the sun and changing carbon dioxide into sugars and starches(淀粉). But at night, they have to rely on the starch theyve stored up to survive till dawn returns.Professor Martin Howard found that plants distribute their stores of starch by making adjustments to how much they consume. During the night, mechanisms(机制) inside the leaf measure the size of the starch store and guess the length of time until dawn. Information about time es from an internal clock. The size of the starch store is then divided by the length of time until dawn to set the correct rate of starch consumption, so that, by dawn, around 95 percent of starch is used up.That is, even during the night, plants are still growing and producing. “Understanding how plants continue to grow in the dark could help unlock new ways to increase crop production,” says Professor Alison Smith.Whats notable is how efficiently plants share their starch stores. Impulsively(冲动地) consuming all the starch at once could actually be disastrous, as Professor Smith points out, “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.”Dr Richard Buggs of Queen Mary, University of London, emphasizes that the study is not evidence for plant intelligence, but simply suggests that plants have a mechanism designed to automatically regulate how fast they burn carbohydrates(碳水化合物) at night.Howards and Smiths research offers a window into the secret life of plants, to questions of plant sentience(感觉能力) and the ability of cooperation of plants with us animals. Plants may not do math with a purpose in mind like we do. But any mother who opens the refrigerator containing only a tomato and a jar of peanut butter has to admire plants ability to divide their starch storestheir foodwith such careful efficiency.63. Plants perform arithmetic division overnight to _. A. regulate how fast to store sugarsB. change carbon dioxide into starchesC. store the energy from the sun on timeD. get through the night without starving64. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _. A. how plants divide their starchB. how plants store their starchC. how plants internal clock worksD. how much starch plants use a night65. From what Professor Smith said in the sixth paragraph, we can infer that _. A. plants often waste their stores of starchB. starving plants may grow very fast at nightC. plants using starch irregularly can be harmfulD. plants using starch too fast may cause them to die66. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Whether there is plant intelligenceB. Why plants are growing quickly at nightC. What your plant is doing while you are asleepD. How the internal clock affects the growth of plantsDMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they werent quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, acpanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when Id flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone whos on our wanted list. Were going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to saya few minutes,” he said, “Well call you when were ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadnt decided anything about me. “Isnt this puterized?” I asked at the counter, “Cant you just look me up?” “ Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“Im just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair
