Our first winter in Canada was the happiest we have experienced. We were living in the
countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn. One evening in mid
December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing,
we all cheered. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. We could hardly wait
for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. Next morning when we woke up, it was still
snowing. We switched on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had falled
during the night and that since the roads were blocked there would be no school that day. We
jumped up and down for joy and begged mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said
we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as
soon as we felt cold.
When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads , paths, gardens, and playing
grounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had
ever seen. Just then, we saw some neighbour’s children coming out to play. We ran over to join
them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. After that, we took turns sliding down a
hill on a large piece of cardboard. We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother
almost had to force us to go in and eat.
21. The children all cheered when they saw the snow because ________.




A. they knew they would have no school for the next day

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow
older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.


The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Acadamy of Science.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is
that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of
their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the
world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being
unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of
happiness and well-being related to age.
24. What does the underlined word “negative” mean?
A. 负面的 B. 积极的 C. 平和的 D. 激烈的
25. What kind of people has the highest stress levels?

B. Those in their seventies and eighties.
C. People reached their fifties.
D. Adults between the ages of 22 and 25.

Computer technology has become a major part of people’s lives. This technology has its own
special words. One example is the word mouse. A computer mouse is not a small animal that lives
in buildings and open fields. It is a small device that you move around on a flat surface in front of
a computer. The mouse moves the pointer on the computer screen.
Computer expert Douglas Engelbart developed the idea for the mouse in the early 1960s. The
first computer mouse was a carved block of wood with two metal wheels. It was called a mouse
because it had a tail at one end. The tail was the wire that connected it to the computer.
Using a computer takes some training. People who are experts are sometimes called hakers. A
hacker is usually a person who writes software programs in a special computer language. But the
word hacker is also used to describe a person who tries to steal information from computer
systems.
Another well-known computer word is Google. It is the name of a popular “search engine”
for the Internet. People use the search engine to find information about almost any subject on the
Internet. The people who started the company named it Google because in maths, google is an
extremely large number. It is the number one followed by 100 zeros.
When you “Google” a subject, you can get a large amount of information about it . Some
people like to google their friends or themselves to see how many times their names appears on
the Internet.
If you Google someone, you might find that person’s name on a blog. A blog is the shortened
name for a Web log. A blog is a personal Web page. It may contain stories, comments, pictures and
links to other Web sites. Some people add information to their blogs every day. People who have
blogs are called bloggers.
Blogs are not the same as spam. Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic
mailbox. The name is based on a funny joke many years ago on a British television show,
“ Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. Some friends are at an eating place that only serves a
processed meat product from the United States called SPAM. Every time the friends try to speak,
another group of people starts singing the word SPAM very loudly. This interferes with the
friends’ discussion---just as unwanted sales messages interfere with communication over the
Internet.

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called
laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy
cycle (能量周期).
During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot” .That’
s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at
its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the
afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why it is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues
(自言自语) as : “Get up, John! You’ll be later for work again!” The possible explanation to the
trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling
ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each
member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit
can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up
late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you
want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,
rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (振作精神)
and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and
stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the
4

百度文库

troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do
routine (例行的) work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for
your sharper hours.
32. If a person finds getting up early a problem most probably ________.




A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low
D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
33. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?




A. Unawareness of the energy cycles.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
34. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.






A. change his energy cycle
C. get up earlier than usual






B. overcome his laziness
D. go to bed earlier
35. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest- growing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in
which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your
identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get a credit card in your
name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 36 and you have to be responsible for
the traffic accidents he causes…
Why is identity theft becoming so common? 37. And the wealth of personal details people
post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain
personal information.
Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their
carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.

38 and this is why it is important that every person should become cautious when using the
Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.
First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system installed.
Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that you’ve used before.
Third, 39. Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your
parents are often required to verify (证明) an identity, and thieves can use this information too.
Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open
suspicious e-mails from unknown source. Last but not least, create complex passwords using a
combination of numbers and keyboard symbols and 40.
A. The popularity of the Internet and computers provides a gateway（出入口）for the

I was helping my youngest daughter, Sydney, down the slide (滑梯) 68 something caught

changed my mind. I have three roommates, and I was the last one move into the dormitory. Last
term, I got along peacefully and happy. But I find they are not willing to be with me now. They
don’t talk with me, and they’ve become cold towards me. Many time, I wanted to talk with them
