A★★☆☆☆For many Koreans, kimchi is a food that they cannot live without! Kimchi is notistory. Experts believe that people beganjust tasty food. It’s also a part of Korean hmaking kimchi around the seventh century. The farming communities created kimchito provide vegetables all year round. At that time, however, kimchi was just a salted vegetable. It was not until five centuries later that people started adding tasty seeds and other plants. And it was not until the eighteenth century that people began adding the hot red pepper. This gave kimchi the red colour that it often has today. The nineteenth century saw the introduction of the Chinese cabbage to Korea. Koreans then started to use this vegetable to make kimchi. And they developed the kimchi that people know and love today.Kimchi is such an important part of Korean culture that there is a yearly kimchi event. It happens every year in October and lasts for several days. People travel from all over South Korea to the event — in the city of Gwangju. At the event, differenttypes of kimchi are made to see which one tastes best, and many food products are on show. Besides, there is beautiful traditional music.If you want to learn more about kimchi’s culture and history, come to visit the Kimchi Field Museum in Seoul. It was started by a large food company in 1986. Inthe museum, historians have documented almost 200 different kinds of kimchi.In April, 2008, Yi So-Yeon became South Korea’s first person to go into space.The 29-year-old took kimchi with her and spent ten days in space.

Unit3 单元测试卷（名师）Book 8 Unit 3 单元测试题一、阅读理解ADo you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I'm just a kid”, you might be! Don't worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor－Benjamin Franklin－got his start when he was only 12.At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally, his creation led to what we know is called flippers!So, you don't have to be adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.So, what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model－called a prototype(原型) of your idea.Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper(尿布)”, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 1．By saying “But I'm just a kid”，you probably mean you ．A．are too young to achieve anythingB．can do anything though you are youngC．are old enough to become an inventorD．have to learn knowledge from other people2. Kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they ．A．would like to make friends with othersB．usually work hard at their lessons at schoolC．like playing all kinds of toys at homeD．think about things in quite different ways3．Who invented something that helps the blind to read?A．Jeannie Low.B．Benjamin Franklin.C．Chelsea Lanmon.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested onhumans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.5.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later6.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It's been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D. It's used in sleeping drugs.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health8.How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C.

This sounds incredible(难以置信的), but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application(应用软件), called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the program.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. "It is like having a simultaneous(同时的) translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you," Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display (LCD) screen.Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed—without speaking aloud—a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish, "Let me introduce our new prototype."This particular gadget(器具), when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, "to switch your mouth to a foreign language". "The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create 'good enough' bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world," Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.26. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A Lecture Translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.27. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation.B. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator.D. Translation Prototype.28. What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.29. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.30. Where can this passage probably be from?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine on science.C. A fairy tale.D. A scientific fantasy book.BYou are careful with your money: you collect all kinds of coupons; look for group-buy deals if you eat out; you don't buy clothes unless in a sale. Does all this make you a wise consumer?Let's do the math first: you walk into a coffee shop and see two deals for a cup of coffee. The first deal offers 33 percent extra coffee. The second takes 33 percent off the regular price. What's the better deal? Well, they are about the same, you'd think. And you'd be wrong. The deals appear to be equal, but in fact, they are different. Here's the math: Let's say the standard coffee is 10 yuan and let's divide the amount of coffee into three portions(部分). That makes about 3.3 yuan per portion, The first deal gets you 4 portions for 10 yuan (2.5 yuan per portion) and the second gets you 3 portions of coffee for 6.6 yuan (2.2 yuan per portion) and is therefore a better deal.In a new study published by the Journal of Marketing, participants were asked the same question, and most of them chose the first deal, the Atlantic website reported. Why? Because getting something extra for free feels better than getting the same for less. The applications of this view into consumer psychology(心理) are huge. Instead of offering direct discounts, shops offer larger sizes or free samples.According to the study, the reason why these marketing tricks work is that consumers don't really know how much anything should cost, so we rely on parts of our brains that aren't strictly quantitative.There are some traps we should be aware of when shopping. First of all, we are heavily influenced by the first number. Suppose you are shopping in Hong Kong. You walk into Hermes, and you see a 100,000 yuan bag. "That's crazy." You shake your head and leave. The next shop is Gucci, a handbag here costs 25,000 yuan. The price is still high, but compared to the 100,000 yuan price tag you just committed to your memory, this is a steal. Stores often use the price difference to set consumers' expectation.Another trap we often fall to Is that we are not really sure what things are worth. And so we use clues(暗示) to tell us what we ought to pay for them. U.S. economist Dan Ariely has done an experiment to prove this. According to the Atlantic, Ariely pretended he was giving a lecture on poetry. He told one group of students that the tickets cost money and another group that they would be paid to attend. Then he informed both groups that the lecture was free. The first group was anxious to attend, believing they were getting something of value for free. The second group mostly declined, believing they were being forced to volunteer for the same event without reward.What's a lecture on poetry by an economist worth? The students had no idea. That's the point. Do we really know what a shirt is worth? What about a cup of coffee? What's the worth of a life insurance. Policy? Who knows? Most of us don't. As a result, our shopping brain uses only what is knowable: visual(视觉的) clues, invited emotions, comparisons, and a sense of bargain. We are not stupid. We are just easily influenced.31. The first paragraph of the passage is intended to .A. ask a questionB. introduce a topicC. give some examplesD. describe a phenomenon32. The writer takes the math for example in Paragraph 2 to show .A. consumers usually fall into marketing trapsB. consumers' expectation is difficult to predictC. consumers' purchasing power is always changingD. consumers rely on their own judgment when shopping33. What consumer psychology is mentioned in the passage?A. The first number has little influence on which item should be bought.B. Consumers never use visual clues to decide how much should be paid.C. Getting something extra for free is better than getting the same for less.D. Consumers never rely on parts of the brains that aren't strictly quantitative.34. According to the passage, shops use the following tricks to make more profits EXCEPT .A. showing price differencesB. offering larger sizesC. providing free samplesD. giving direct discounts35. What can we know from U.S. economist Dan Ariely's experiment?A. Ariely's free lecture enjoyed popularity among students.B. The students actually didn't know what the lecture was worth.C. The second group was willing to be volunteers without reward.D. The first group was eager to find out the value of Ariely's lecture.CA cyclic(周期的) drop in the sun's radiation can cause unusually cold winters in parts of North America and Europe, scientists say, a finding that could improve long-range forecasts and help countries prepare for snowstorms.Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation measured by sunspots on the surface reaches a peak then falls. But explaining a clear link to weather has proved harder."Our research confirms the observed link between solar change and regional winter climate," lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email. The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Monday.Her team focused on data from the recent solar minimum during 2008-2010, a period of unusual calm for the sun and extreme winters in the United States and parts of Europe that shut down air travel and disrupted(使混乱) business.The researchers found that a reduction in ultraviolet(UV，紫外线的) radiation from the sun can affect high-altitude wind patterns in the North Hemisphere(半球), causing cold winters."While UV levels won't tell us what the day-to-day weather will do, they provide the exciting prospect of improved forecasts for winter conditions for months and even years ahead. These forecasts play an important role in long-term possibility planning," Ineson, a climate scientist, said.Ineson and colleagues from Imperial College London and the University of Oxford used satellite data that more accurately measures UV radiation from the sun and found a much greater change than previously thought.They found that in years of low activity, unusually cold air forms high in the atmosphere over the tropics(回归线). This causes a redistribution(重新分配) of heat in the atmosphere, making easterly winds that bring freezing weather and snowstorms to northern Europe and the United States and milder weather to Canada and the Mediterranean.When solar UV radiation is stronger, the opposite occurs.Ineson's team used the data in a complex computer model that simulates(模拟) long-term weather patterns. The model successfully reproduced what scientists have observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation.More study was needed, though. A key uncertainly in the experiment lay in the satellite data used, because it covers only a few years. "So questions remain concerning both accuracy and also applicability to other solar cycles," she said.36. The new finding claims cold winters in the North Hemisphere can be caused by .A、a sharp rise in the amount of sunspotB、a complex computer model simulationC、a clear link between the sun and the earthD、a decrease in the sun's UV radiation37. It has long been known by scientists that .A. UV radiation can affect high-altitude wind patternsB. there's a clear link between the sun's activity and weatherC. they can predict day-to-day weather conditions from UV levelsD. the sun's radiation reaches a peak every eleven years38. According to the passage, the following statements are correct EXCEPT .A. the research team used a complex computer system to monitor the atmosphereB. the new finding could improve long-term weather predictionC. the years 2008-2020 were a period when the sun's radiation fellD. extreme winters affected air travel and business in parts of Europe39. What will happen if the sun turns into years of high activity according to the finding?A. Canada and the Mediterranean will have milder weather.B. Burning hot weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States.C. Freezing cold weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States.D. The whole Northern Hemisphere will suffer from extreme winter day.40. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the research doesn't seem accurate enough due to limited satellite data usedB. long-term weather conditions can be accurately predicted depending on UV levelsC. climate scientists have just begun their research in severe weather forecastD. research have analyzed the data collected in eleven yearsDWhat is so different about Moisture Surge?These hydrating formulas (保湿配方) rapidly make thirsty skin smooth and soft.

However, many processes and devices(器具) were involved before the food and drink appeared on your table. As a matter of fact, food preparation inventions throughout history have paved the way for safer, easier-to-make meals.RefrigerationIn the old days people placed food in cold streams or under snow and ice to keep it from spoiling.47. Finally German engineer Carl von Linde developed a way to liquefy(液化) gas in large quantities, a process that is required for refrigeration. He patented his refrigeration design in 1877, and many consider von Linde the inventor of the modern-day refrigerator, something no kitchen should be without.The egg carton(纸板盒)Back in 1911, an argument in British Columbia, Canada, led to a useful invention. 48. To solve the problem, Canadian newspaperman Joseph Coyle designed a paper carton with small, hollowed-out(凹陷的) spaces that kept the eggs separated. Coyle's invention was so successful that we still use it today.The canIn 1810, London resident Peter Durand invented metal cans that would hold and preserve food for long periods of time. 49. Amazingly, it took another 50 years before the can opener was invented by Ezra Warner.The knifeMany believe the knife is mankind's oldest tool, with the easiest forms made from glass-like rock and then from metal around 2500 BC. 50.While we in the 21st century take these inventions for granted, our lives would be very different without these necessary kitchen aids.A. You probably have never stopped to think about it.B. One of the most important food discoveries occurred in the 1860s.C. Eggs shipped by a local farmer to a hotel owner often arrived broken.D. It is found that by heating liquids, harmful bacteria could be destroyed.E. The search continued, though, for a better method to preserve and store food.F. Through the years, the cutting device developed into the handy tool we use today.G. The only problem was that people had to use a hammer or other devices to open them.五、补全短文（共11小题；共35分）AAs is known to all, music is now becoming popular among people.

We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 26 . That's one of the unwritten rules 27 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 28behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 29 distance.As the bus came near the Mile, a 30 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 31 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver's head. “Put your 32down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 33 the person next to you.”Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 34 every day. We waited for the next 35 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”But our voices were a little 36. For many of us, this was the 37 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 38 to people beside us, we couldn't help 39. There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 40. To say the three words was not so 41 after all.The bus driver said nothing more. He didn't 42_. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 43 sound I had never heard before in this bus.When I 44 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 45_the bus.

From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.A. jobs such as musicians, singers and dancersB. jobs related to academic professions like lawyers and doctorsC. jobs in which they will not be endangeredD. jobs which will be well paid only47.

Children's dreams are always changing.BAbout twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother's eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: “The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(给…做框) and hung in my office. Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting.Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift.I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What's worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled.To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother's love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead.51. What made Audrey different from others was that she_______.A. could draw and paint beautifulllyB. was good at math and chemistryC. got two degrees in two different fieldsD. was a student in a key university52. How did the author regain the painting?A. She found it from one office.B. One of her former colleagues found it.C. She found it in a storage room.D. Audrey found it for her.53. What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?A.The author's feeling.B. Audrey's family.C. Audrey's experience.D. The author's experience.54. Why does the author value the painting so much?A. It was painted by her most talented student.B. The painting can be worth a lot of money.C. The art value of the painting is immeasurable(无法估计的).D. The painting encourages her to advance(前进).CWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech-- and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ”Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples aspossible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.55. The main idea of this article is _________.A. you can improve your speaking abilityB. a poor speaker can never changeC. always make a short speechD. it is hard to make a speech56. Paragraph 2 implies that ________.A. many people are afraid of giving a speechB. many people are happy to give a speechC. many people do not prepare for a speechD. many people talk too long57.

It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say that's all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We won't have to worry about the sun's running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesn't offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollutionlevels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won't need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why don't we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy.All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation's energy supply.60. What's this passage mainly about?A. Something about solar energy and pollution.B. Solar energy.C. Energy and pollution.D. Energy and money.61. Solar energy can help us _____.A. escape punishment from natureB. become home ownersC. get rid of present energyD. save our precious fuel62. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _____.A. several million yearsB. several hundred yearsC. several billion yearsD. several thousand years63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment.B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment.C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment.D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.64. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _____.A. but in the future it will become an important part of our nation's energy supplyB. so we will build more power plantsC. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the countryD. so we don't need itIV 写作最近学校图书馆就阅览室订阅明年的英文报刊杂志向全校学生征求意见，请你就下列目录中杂志名称英语周报 21世纪英文报英语辅导报海外英语疯狂英语中学生英语[写作内容]请按照以下要求用英语以书信形式给予答复。

More than 27,000 industry insiders and 900 companies were connected with the Jane 22-25event, organizers said.Though small ,portable (手提的) Internet computers with built-in mobile phones are already on the market ,they have had limited success. Internet-telephone technology(IT) must be made easier to use ,and must be used no matter what kind of phone one has ,Lisoe said .This will be aided largely by a planned mobile phone operating system called Symbian ,he added.Increased access（路径） to communication satellites and mobile phone networks, along with faster and larger international cable systems, are likely to make wireless Internet access explode in the next few years, said some scientist who attended the conference .56．Which of the following is true to the conference?A．The conference lasted four days ,paying close attention to the use of IT.B．Only executives and managers attended the conference held in Singapore.C．Many latest internet-telephones were on show at the conferenceD．Communic Asia' 99 is the largest international conference in Asia. 57．The internet computer with built-in mobile phones do not sell well probably because they .A．are too big to carry when one is travelingB．are difficult to use and have to be fixed to particular phonesC．are not as common as watchesD．can't do the work of a common telephone58．When Subra Venkat says “switching between your stock prices and television programs”, hereally means the new devices will .A．soon appear on the market and become easy to useB．be much easier to turn on or turn offC．help the user to have more programs to chooseD．bring in much money as well as happiness59．The new devices will depend most on .A．mobile phones of a special kindB．mobile phones networksC．internet-telephone technologyD．batter international cable systemsBEvery pet owner loves his pet .There is no argument here.But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion .Clearly, from readers' response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的)sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people's widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure (步骤)ycy Most of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply did not wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets' heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,”says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It's understandable. Death is always painful. It's difficult to deal with. It's hard to accept.”But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of this problem.60．So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, .A．a lot more of them are for itB．a lot more of them are against itC．very few of them are willing to tell their opinions．D．about half of them are for it and the other half against it61．The expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet.” (in paragraph 3) refers to .A．the death of one's pet ycyB．the final ownership of a petC．the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petD．the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet62．In spite of their differences on the problem of cloning, it seems that .A．all pet owners love their pets very muchB．all pet owners try to go against the natural law of life and deathC．people who support cloning love their pets moreD．people who dislike cloning love their pets more63．From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .A．has never thought about the problem of cloningB．thinks it hard to accept the idea of cloning petsC．is in favor of the idea of cloning petsD．is all against the cloning of petsCWinter's short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves(围巾).Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips: Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something. For example, play table tennis or badminton.If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when friends support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day.P.S. Symptoms(症状) of SAD:No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoyIncreased need for sleepA change in eating habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy(含淀粉的) foodsWeight gainA heavy feeling in the arms or legsA drop in energy levelDifficulty in concentratingOverly emotionalAvoidance of friends and social situationsFrequent feelings of guiltLong-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches 64．The writer of the passage agrees that ___________.A．the cold in winter makes us suffer from SADB．hats and scarves are as important as SADC．everyone of us meets SAD in winterD．we are blue mainly because of short days in winter65．We may infer that ___________ according to the passage.A．a more darkness will make us sadB．we should wear hats and scarves in winterC．a healthy lifestyle prevents us from serious SADD．staying away from friends makes us depressed66．When we pace ourselves, we ___________ .A．don't do anything we can B．make a practical planC．expect to succeed in nothing D．think something of guilt67．The passage includes the following except ___________ .A．the earlier we meet friends, the easier it is to rebuild a friendship B．if we give up to unclear feelings of sadness, we'll be caught in the SAD C．playing table tennis helps us achieve whatever we wantD．feel-good hormones from a balanced diet can help keep a healthy bodyDDeep into the night, the bus pulled in to a Howard Johnson's restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him , trying to imagine his life. One of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, ‘Martha, I understand if you can not stay married to me'. I said I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it , if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me . Get a new young man—she's wonderful woman—and forget all about me. I told her she didn't have to write to me, and she didn't. Not for the three and a half years.”“Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her that if she had a new young man, I would understand. But if she didn't, if she would take me back, she should let me know. We used to live in the town, Brunswick, and there's a great big oak tree just as you come into the town. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didn't want me, forgot me, no handkerchief and I'd keep going on through.”Soon all the others were in it. When they were 20 miles from Brunswick, the youngman took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask. Then it was 10 miles, and then 5, and the bus became very quiet.Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances. All except Vingo.68．In the story, the yellow handkerchief probably means .A．happiness B．sadness C．I hate you D．I still love you69．Vingo stopped “ looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask…, ”because .A．he was excited to think of his wife B．he was ashamed for what he had done C．he was afraid to see the handkerchief and his wife D．he was afraid that he might not see the yellow handkerchief on the oak tree70．The bus became quiet when it came near the town because all the passengers .A．got tired after a long journey B．got too sad to say anything C．grew excited and anxious to see the oak tree D．were attracted by the story71．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Going Home.
