All that 36 one day, when Mrs. Kumar asked us towrite An autobiography of a pencil. For some 37 reason, my take on the autobiography was unusually poetic. Wordsseemed to 38 without any effort. For me, it was just another 39 and I handed it in, justpleased to have pleted it, not particularly 40 of the work, Mrs. Kumar reacted very differently, 41 Maybe she was just being 42 in an effortto encourage a student, maybe she really liked the work or perhaps she saw the 43 in ateenager. Whatever her reasons, she read, it out to the class as a(n)_ 44 of a fine specimen(样本) of writing. If that had been the end of it, life would have 45 very differently for me. One day a few years later, I went back to the campus where I spent my childhood. I waswalking through the 46 corridors when I passed by Mrs. Kumar, still teaching her class. Shelooked up as I passed and I _47 , not wanting to interrupt. Suddenly, she went out and invited me into her class. This girl is one of the best 48this school has seen, she said. She wrote a wonderful autobiography of a pencil a few yearsago. I hope some of you can learn to write like her. Even after all these years, I can ._ 49 myself being led into that classroom. 50 _ glows(洋溢) on my face whenever I tell someone this incident. It was fantastic to experience that waveof 51 from a teacher I admired. I am sure I was not the only student whose school essays and assignments Mrs. Kumarremembered. It is likely that she made an effort to make each one of us feel 52 . However, Ihad never had anybody praise my writing before that.

Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated（沮丧）and inflexible（固守己见的）.Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here es the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it es to predicting peoples success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. 56. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that .A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. emotional intelligence wont show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success D. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence 57. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text? A. The higher a persons EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is. B. The higher a persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either. D. Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together. 58. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. kind B. floating C. excited D. optimistic 59. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ. B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ. C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field. D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.B(Xinhua)Chinese and Russian armed forces on Wednesday began a five-day joint military drill aimed at boosting their troops capability（提高部队能力）in fighting against terrorist.

CCar panies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets，just like many laptops，digital cameras，cell phones and Mp4 doCalled“plug-in vehicles”，these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers wont have to stop at gas stations as often as usualThe technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world，plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use，which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides，driving around in these vehicles may even help the environmentGas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas，which causes globe warming.The first pany-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by xx. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensiveBatteries(电池) are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world，Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are getting the most attentionThese batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package，and they last a longer time between chargesLi-ion batteries can fit laptops，cell phones，heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of drivingWhats more，the batteries are much expensive“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance，”says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago“But it couldnt pull any peopleand it would cost $100,000”So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper，among other questions.“The answers dont exist yet，”Bohn says，“As a kid，I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everythingAll of these questions havent been decidedThats what engineering is about-making a guess，running tests and getting fine results”64The passage mainly talks about of a new carAthe developing Bthe speed Cthe appearance Dthe batteries65Which is true according to the passage?AThe“ plug -in vehicles ”will use electricity pletely as driving powerBThe new technology will help protect our environmentCThe technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical nowDThe biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy66How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?AConfident BPuzzled CWorried DDisappointed67According to the passage，the new technology is facing the following problems except that Athe new technology cannot e into use at presentBthe cost of the new technology is quite highCthe government wont support the technologyD the size of the batteries is too big at present DResidents along Australias east coast awoke in the morning to an orange sky as winds swept millions of tons of red dust from the countrys inland and dumped it on SydneyTanya Ferguson，living in Sydney，saw that the room was pletely orangeShe thought there was a bush fireBut when she went outside，the entire city was covered in a film of orange dust“It was like being in the outback(澳大利亚内陆)，but it was right here in the city，”she said On that day，a big dust storm swept through SydneyIt covered the city in orange dust for about eight hours，making landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge invisibleThe storm affected the transportation systemFlights were delayedRoads were busy as drivers struggled in the difficult conditionsChildren and the elderly were told to stay indoors until the dust had clearedLater strong winds blew it out to the sea and up the coastNo one was hurt in the storm，though health officials answered hundreds of calls frompeople with breathing difficultiesEmergency services responded to hundreds of calls abouttree branches brought down by strong windsDust storms are mon in the Australian outback，where the land is arid(贫瘠的)But the storms rarely reach the coastal regionsOfficials said it was the worst dust storm of the past 70 yearsAir pollution levels were15，500 micrograms of pollutants per cubic meter“On a clear day the pollutants are around 1020 micrograms per cubic meter，”said ChrisEiser of the NSW department of the environmentExperts said that dry conditions in the outback and strong winds caused the sandstorm“Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong winds have bined to produce the storm，”said Nigel Tapper，an environmental scientist at Monash University， Australia 70From the passage we can see that ATanya Ferguson lives in the Australian outback at the momentBa bush fire may have brought the orange dust along the coastCthis terrible sandstorm lasted about 24 hours after it hit the cityDSydneys landmarks were out of sight when the storm happened第四部分：任务型阅读(共
