分析 本文講述了Tom在車站咖啡館里等待開往倫敦的汽車時(shí),因?yàn)榭戳绥R子里的時(shí)間而錯(cuò)過(guò)了一班車的故事.

解答 56.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第一、二句"Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus.The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve."以及倒數(shù)第六句"Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit."可知,Tom因?yàn)槿サ迷缌耍胝覀(gè)地方坐坐才走進(jìn)車站咖啡館的.故選D.
57.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段中倒數(shù)第二句"He found a seat and sat down,facing a large mirror on the wall."可知,Tom面對(duì)著一面鏡子坐著.再結(jié)合Tom與朋友的對(duì)話"…and now it's half past eleven.""You are looking at the clock in the mirror,"said John.可知,Tom看到的11:30是鏡子中的時(shí)間.根據(jù)鏡中時(shí)間與真實(shí)時(shí)間以12:00為對(duì)稱的原理,推理可知真實(shí)的時(shí)間是12:30.故選A.
58.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)Tom與朋友John的對(duì)話"Good heavens!It's going back-ward!"he cried.可知,鏡子中的時(shí)間倒走了.故選C.
59.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段二、三句"The next bus was not to leave for another hour.He has never liked mirror since then.(下一班車再過(guò)一小時(shí)也不會(huì)開.Tom自此不再喜歡鏡子了)"可知,選項(xiàng)A、C錯(cuò)誤.根據(jù)Tom與John的對(duì)話"…and now it's half past eleven.""You are looking at the clock in the mirror,"said John.可知,鏡中時(shí)間11:30對(duì)應(yīng)的真實(shí)時(shí)間為12:30.再由第一段第二句"The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve."可知開往倫敦的車在11:55出發(fā).所以,Tom錯(cuò)過(guò)了這班車,沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)時(shí)趕到倫敦.故選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)誤.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文選項(xiàng)中的一個(gè)難點(diǎn)就是如何根據(jù)鏡中時(shí)間推斷出正確的真實(shí)時(shí)間.掌握鏡中時(shí)間與真實(shí)時(shí)間以12:00成對(duì)稱的原理,問(wèn)題就迎刃而解了.

12.It's never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold.  We have many different ways of coping with the cold.We can put on more clothes,stay next to a fireplace,turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter.But things are not as easy for plants.Unlike humans,plants can't move to escape the cold or generate heat to keep themselves warm.So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?
    The cold is a big challenge for plants.Their living tissues can be damaged when they freeze.It's like a plant's equivalent(相等物)to frostbite(凍瘡).Also,the process of freezing and thawing(解凍)can cause air bubbles to form in the plant's water transport system.If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant.
    To live through cold weather,plants have developed three strategies,Some plants,such as oak trees,avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves,before the winter chill sets in-effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves-and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns.Other plants,pine trees for example,protect them-selves by narrowing their water transport cells,which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles.The third strateg is also the most extreme.Some plants; die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer.
    However,these smart strategies were developed very slowly-over millions of years of evolution.This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change,which has only started occurring over the past few decades.Scientists are hoping to find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change.

51.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Different ways for people to keep warm.
B.How plants live through the freezing winter.
C.How plants develop the 8tratef;ies to keep warm*
D.The ways to save plants from the cold,
52.If the water transport from roots to leaves is blocked,D.
A.the plant will suffer from f'rostbite
B.a(chǎn)ir bubbles will be formed
C.the plant's living tissues will be damaged
D.the plant will be killed
53.Oak trees protect themselves byA.
A.stopping the water transport from roots to leaves
B.dropping their leaves to grow seeds
C.slowing the flow of water from roots to leaves
D.storing enough water in the roots
54.What does the underlined phrase"sets in"mean in Paragraph3?B
A.stops       
B.begins      
C.leaves      
D.returns
55.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?C
A.Plants can,easily adapt to climate change.
B.Scientists are making efforts to save plants.
C.Climates change is a great threat to plants.
D.Plants are developing new strategies to survive.

13.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
   By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic (邏輯) behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power."
   Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea right now.Just start with anything,and create an explanation.For example,start with"I'll learn chess,"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week."Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this,you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
   Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you're half-way there.
   Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.
68.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.A Way on How to Write
B.Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.
C.How to Start Your Writing
D.Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.
69.According to the text,writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPTC
A.the increase of your brain power         
B.the ability to remember
C.the development of your interest in study  
D.the better understanding of a topic
70.The underlined sentence"you're half-way there"in the fifth paragraph implies
thatD
A.you are already successful              
B.you still need to work hard
C.writing can help you walk half way       
D.You have been on the way to success
71.What's the main purpose of the writer writing the text?A
A.To advise readers to start their writing
B.To explain the importance of writing
