2.Paula and her husband have four kids,three pet dogs,and a rabbit.When the house is very noisy,Helen,one of the children,is quietly inventing.A year ago,the 10-year-old had to design an anti-smoking poster for a school project.Rather than a poster,she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古。 a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.
"I like people to play with things more than read and write,"she says.So she researched her idea on the Internet,found a company in China that could make it,saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.
Paula says her daughter"thinks differently":Ideas jump into her mind.After she got sunburnt on holiday,Helen invented a small plastic bracelet(手鐲) that changes color in the sun,telling you when to put on sunscreen.Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea.She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty."But we didn't do anything with it,"says Paula.
Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod she has designed."There is a camera on the hook,"she explains,"and the screen is on the handle,and it shows you if you've caught a fish or not."
Helen doesn't want to go to university.She keeps her pink-and-cream bedroom tidy.Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter."Everything has to be in a certain order,"Paula says."Her brothers and sisters go with the flow,but with Helen,it's‘What time will that be happening?'or‘Where am I being picked up from today?'"

21.From Paragraph 2,we can infer that HelenC.
A.is not willing to go to school
B.likes to play with her brothers and sisters
C.prefers making something by herself

A.do what most people usually do     
B.set an example to others

解答 21.答案 C 推理判斷題  根據(jù)So she researched her idea on the Internet,found a company in China that could make it,saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.可知她有自己的想法,并自己付諸實(shí)施,故答案為C
22.答案  B   細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句"Helen invented a small plastic bracelet(手鐲) that changes colors in the sun,telling you when to put on sunscreen"理解可知Helen發(fā)明了一種塑料手鐲能夠在陽(yáng)光下改變顏色,故答案為B.
23.答案 A  理解歸納題,根據(jù)前文Paula says her daughter"thinks differently":說(shuō)明Helen和別的孩子想法不一樣,文中最后一自然段Her brothers and sisters go with the flow,but with Helen,由此可以得知go with the flow的意思是"和大部分做法一樣",故答案為A.

10.閱讀下面的短文,然后以約30個(gè)詞概括短文的要點(diǎn).
Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders.A study shows that whenever the employment rate rises by 1%,the death rate decreases correspondingly(相應(yīng)地) by 2%.All this comes down to one point:work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy,away from loneliness.Researches show that people feel unhappy,worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead,the happiest are those who are busy.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work,people come into contact with each other.By collective activities,they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and probably makes him suffer from disease.
Besides,work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement.Work makes one feel his value and status in society.When a writer finishes his writing or a teacher sees his students grow,they are happy beyond words.

17.The Owl Count
Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness."We're almost there!"Dad announced cheerfully."Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park."Yawning,Annie nodded and smiled.The time was 4:30a.m.Looking out into the darkness,Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night,when they hunt for food.During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.
"Dad,why do you need to count owls?"she asked."It's important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,"he explained."We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area.You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind.Then we'll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county."
Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park.Then,with flashing in hand,they began their hike into the woods.Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling.She had not expected the morning to be so frigid.Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.
Suddenly Annie's father stopped and gestured for her to be still.Obeying,Annie did not take another step.She thoght she heard a low crying up head."That's certainly a screech owl,"her father whispered."Let's get a look at it."After looking more closely,Annie could see that it was a small owl.Sensing danger,the owl narowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body.Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.
Walking a little farther,they came to a tall oak tree."This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls,"Dad said."I'm going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl.Maybe we can get one to answer.'Annie could hardly believe her ear.The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking,"who cooks for you?"Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance.She held her breath and waited.Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.
Annie had long forgotten how cold it was.She stood in wonder,shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully.The barred owl was nearly two feet tall.Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes.The bird did not matter.Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl.
56.Why did Annie and her father go to the state park?C
A.To take a hike in the woods.
B.To record the call of barred owl.

7.Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes."Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,"practical and functional''shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people,while ankle boots were more linked with‘‘a(chǎn)ggressive''personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘‘uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from"attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主張變革的)types wearing"shabbier and less expensire"shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.

61.What does this text mainly tell us?C 
A.Shoes Call hide people's real personalities.
B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer.
C.People's personalities call be judged by their shoes.
D.People know little about their personalities.
62.The particio\pants were asked toA.
A.provide pictures of their shoes
B.look at pictures of different shoes
C.design a personality questionnaire
D.hand in their commonly worn shoes
63.Which of the results is beyond people's expectation?C 
A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.
B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.
C.Aggressive people are likely to weal"ankle boots.
D.Fhshier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.
64.People suffering from"attachment anxiety"tend toB.
A.wear strange shoes     B.worry about their appearance
C.have a calm character   D.become a political leader
65.The author wrote the text in order toA.
