Rolling down the windows to 41 in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she 42 a big bald（秃顶的）man running through the parking lot. Before she came to 43 what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”Neilson 44.Pulling open her door, the man seized her 45 the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, 46 her purse and the keys. Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 47, heard the screams and began running .When they 48 Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was 49 searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker 50 back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no 51 for the two athletic men.Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to 52 the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes —— used to tie up newspapers.With his arms 53 tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said 54 , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves—— you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They 55 him and waited for the police.Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the 56 carjacker （劫车者）and suspected murderer, whose 57——but with a full head of hair——had been recently printed in their own newspaper.Neilson considers herself lucky 58 she suffered injuries.

But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep peoplefocused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."31．What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A．Light. B．Ceilings. C．Windows. D．Furniture. 32．The passage tells us that ________.A．the shape of furniture may affect people's feelingsB．lower ceilings may help improve students' creativityC．children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD．students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed33．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.A．the problem is not approached step by stepB．the researches so far have faults in themselvesC．the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD．research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns34．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点）C: ConclusionA．B．C．D．Top Four Ways to Build a Wonderful Life1. Live Below Your MeansThere will always be temptation to give up the future for immediate pleasure. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loa n for the flashy car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on. Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will b ring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.2. Put Your Money to WorkSaving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40’s or in your 60’s. A post todayat The Simple Dollar really got me thinking. According to Trent’s estimates, if a person in their early 20’s invests 20% of their income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40’s. Th ey could retire without a drop in income! Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and it’s something everyone can work on. It’s definitely an area I’ll be devoting more attention to in my personal life.3. Educate YourselfTo be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day.Self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives. Education builds over time. It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire don’t mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.4. Develop Lasting Personal RelationshipsSuppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget about them. Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.35．According to the passage, in order to achieve financial independence after retirement, we’d better ________.A．get along well with our family and friendsB．bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoymentC．invest our money wisely when we are youngD．learn some new skills and try to find a new job36．From the passage we can infer that some people try to ________.A．gain happiness by buying themselves expensive thingsB．save everything they can to help those in needC．devote more attention to their personal lifeD．take out a loan to promote technology37．The author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is________. A．gaining as many degrees as possibleB．being open to new ideas and viewsC．only focusing on very big eventsD．creating long-term happiness38．The above passage is written in order to ________.A．explain what true happiness is aboutB．offer ways to achieve a happy and successful lifeC．introduce different definitions about happinessD．persuade readers to find out the meaning of lifeNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeks bury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?” Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google. I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster than Google, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don’t like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google.Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin thegreat thing that Yahoo currently is.39．How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 40．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive.B．Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.C．Rick will support Google after the merger.D．Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features.41．The passage is mainly about ______.A．the future of Yahoo and MicrosoftB．the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftC．the strengths and weaknesses of large companiesD．opinions on the merger of Yahoo and Microsoft.五、信息匹配Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A．When a child should learn to readB．Why it is fun to teach a child readingC．What if a child has reading problemsD．How you prepare a young child for readingE. What is the best way to teach a child readingF. Whether reading early promises later achievements42．______________Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.43．______________Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.44．___________Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written. 45．_______________You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.46．_____________Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.六、单词拼写单词拼写（共10题；每题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。
