9．Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University，where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world．I was very（36）C when I first stepped onto the campus．Well，it's not even really a campus．It's （37）A like an area in a small town．
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century．They look very old and （38）D．You might （39）B say they're a little shabby（破舊）．They don't fit the modern （40）C of university at all．The buildings are surrounded by （41）A and trees，so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of the Mid-Ages．But when I looked across the street，the （42）D shops and in-fashion（時尚的） students made me feel like I was in the 21st century （43）B．It creates a strong contrast （對比） and brings a special （44）C to the school．
Our tour （45）A Gary took us around and told us．"You see this grass field in the center of the school？Here is where they hold their （46）D ceremony．They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony．"It's （47）B!Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass？
I （48）B some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book．When I listened to the soft sound of （49）D turning，along with the singing of the birds，I felt very （50）B．There was no competitive feeling at all．
Harvard has the world's first computer in its science centre （51）B there are hundreds of high-end computers，too．Its religion（宗教） and the literature departments are also （52）C the best．It is the perfect mix of tradition and （53）B technology．It makes Harvard a very attractive place to （54）C in．
I hope one day I'll （55）Bmy dream school---Harvard．

8．My name is Ann，a high school student．I felt lucky to be picked to （36）BCanada to go on a cultural expedition to sites of lost civilization．I （37）Cvisits to two places．One was Pompeii in Italy and （38）Dwas Loulan in China．They both were important commercial center about 2，000years ago．
As first I（39）Aa lecture about Pompeii and I learned it was founded in the 8th century BC，then taken （40）Dby the Romans in 89BC．Later，Pompeii was（41）Bby a volcano eruption．The eruption（42）Cfor several days and covered Pompeii with ash．（43）B，All the people were buried （44）B，so was the city．

7．I met Chandra Rekha Shrestha，a visually damaged girl，on the way to Shanti Nagar．She was walking down the road with her white stick，and I saw her walking to a muddy（36）C．Had she continued，she might have（37）Dinto the water．Not wanting this to happen，I stopped my（38）Band called out，"There's a hole in front of you，Chandra．If it's all right with you，I'll（39）Cyou to your place．"
She happily（40）D．I took her bag so she could climb on my motorbike．We talked about her profession and （41）B，and I discovered she was on her way toTinkune for a teacher's training program．
Chandra had called me a couple of times since our （42）Bmeeting．However，I had been unable to meet her （43）Amy busy schedules．Finally，（44）Dat the Kathmandu Mall，she said，"If you hadn't given me your business card，I wouldn't have called you．"We talked about a range of issues，and I came to（45）Athat Chandra possessed a deep knowledge which would challenge that of many（46）Cfit people．
Although she has a mother and three brothers，Chandra has been （47）Aon her own for the past years．She cooks for herself and washes her own clothes while   （48）Ato teach every morning at Anam Nagar's Rudramati Primary School．While doing her （49）B，she tries to remember people，places，and things in order to manage her daily life．She is a（an） （50）Dperson，telling me that she made the decision to live alone after her（51）Csaid they would take turns to look after her each month．Chandra felt this would （52）Aher．Chandra's main source of information is through her （53）B，learning about various news as they are broadcast．

6．The three superstars were arriving at the airport and a large crowd of young people had already gathered there to welcome them．The police found it（36）Dto keep order after the plane landed and the performers（37）B．They smiled and waved cheerfully at everybody．Dressed in the same pink shirts and light blue trousers，with long hair and musical instruments over their shoulders，they all looked（38）C．
Although there were many policemen（39）A，the Blare were not able to get to their waiting car （40）Cat all．Word spread that they had composed a new song which would be（41）Awhen they performed at the concert that evening．They were now （42）B with loud cries of"Play your new song!Play your new song!"
When the stars prepared to sing as the（43）D for getting away，even the policemen looked  （44）A，too．The tans settled down and listened to the first（45）D of the new song．Once it was over，everyone started jumping，clapping and shouting（46）B．Several young women even fainted（昏倒） with excitement and were carried away immediately by the （47）C standing by．The fans were greedy for more，（48）D a repeat performance．Once again，the performers had no choice but to（49）C，but when they were asked for still another song，they cheerfully but firmly refused．Closely（50）Aby the policemen，they walked towards their car some distance（51）B．The fans pushed forward，but the policemen，（52）Darm，prevented anyone getting trough．It took the stars quite a long time to reach their （53）A!
Finally，however，they all got in and were just about to leave when a young woman，who had somehow （54）Bto gel past the policemen，jumped onto the roof of the car．She shouted loudly and crazily as two policemen dragged her away and the car started to move very slowly through the（55）C crowd．She had just wanted to have a photo taken with the stars!

5．For busy people，the idea of speed dating has really caught on in popularity．In a speed dating event，usually 8-10 （1）D go around from table to table，each spending 6-8minutes at each one．From that，you may not know for sure if you want to （2）C something more with an individual，but you will （3）C know if you don't want to．
The first thing that you will realize about speed dating is that it makes you （4）B．Unlike a bar，where you might get a whole evening to （5）C check a possible partner out and to see what you have got，when it comes to （6）B you know that you only have a certain amount of time to put your best foot forward （全力以赴） there．You will find the other participants are （7）C of this and will put their best foot forward．
An 8-minute speed dating will also give you a chance to see how someone （8）A under pressure．You may already know a little more about their （9）D if you find someone who can't seem to make eye-contact．The best advice is to make eye-contact，be open and direct．You will find that the （10）B time can make for some excellent opportunities to really shine，and there is nothing like a deadline to make you more （11）A An important detail to keep in mind is that you will be （12）B to a dozen or more singles in a short time．Those who feel that there is an advantage in larger numbers will surely find this （13）D．
When you are looking for （14）B，you may not want to do the long search，so think about speed dating and see what you can do to make sure that it works to you． （15）A，give this exciting opportunity a try!

4．Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed，with one in four people admitting using"sorry I had no signal"when returning a missed mobile phone call，a survey found．
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500every year． Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend，on average at least twice a day．The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal．with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white He．It usually came after they hit the"ignore"button when their mobile rang．
Three quarters of people think women are better Hare．The research found 46per cent of girls have been caught lying，compared to 58of men．
The second most common fib（無關緊要的謊言） is"I haven't got any cash on me"when asked for money by tramps （流浪者）．beggars and Big Issue sellers．"Nothing's wrong-I'm fine"came third followed by"You look lovely"and"Nice to see you"．
Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with"I didn't get your text"in 18th．"Our server was down"in 20th and"My battery died"in 26th place．
Other lies to make the top ten included"I'll give you a ring"，"We're just good friends"and"We'll have to meet up soon"．"I'm on my way"and"No，your bum doesn't look big in that"completed the top ten．
Men tell the most fibs，coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times． In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth，according to a spokesman for OnePoll，which carried out the research of 4.300adults．

2．When an emergency situation occurs，observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses．This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect．
The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect，which is named after Catherine"Kitty"Genovese，a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13，1964．Early in the morning，28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work．As she approached her apartment entrance，she was attacked and stabbed （刺） by a man later identified as Winston Moseley．Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help，none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help．The attack first began at 3：20，but it was not until 3：50 that someone first contacted police．
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident，as well as most Americans．As the conclusion，the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments．
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect．First，the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility．Because there are other observers，individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action，since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present．The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways．When other observers fail to react，individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate．
Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous．In the case of Kitty Genovese，many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a"lovers'quarrel"，and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered．
61．The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect becauseBa woman surnamed Genovese．
A．it somehow caused the murder of    
B．its discovery resulted from the murder of
C．it was actually discovered by

B．in her apartment
C．halfway home                                               
D．near her apartment
63．Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help？A
A．They believed in the bystander effect．
B．They thought someone else might help her．
C．They didn't think they should help．
D．They didn't think she needed help．
64．Before deciding to offer help，observers mayC，according to the psychol
ists．
A．wait for sort of a signal                          
B．hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurt
C．want to be sure it's appropriate to react     
D．wonder if the victim is worth helping
65．The article seems to suggest that，if there had beenBobservers，Genovese might not have been murdered．
A．no                           
B．fewer                       
C．more                     
D．braver．

1．Suddenly all the lights on that crowded underground train went out．Then it stopped in that dark tunnel（隧道）．
We waited．We expected the lights to come on again soon．But nothing happened．Then I began to smell something．Yes，I could smell smoke．So I asked myself，"Is this train on fire？"People around me then began to cry out in fear．"The train is on fire!"they cried．
Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor．I realized she was overcome by the smoke．Then I saw flames appearing．"If something does not happen soon，"I said to myself，"I will be burnt alive!"
But as I stood there in the dark in that crowded burning train，I could see no way to escape．I thought，"No one can save me from certain death but God．Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train．"
Before the flames reached me，I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel．Then as quickly as I could，I ran from the burning train down the tunnel．Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train，crying out for help．I knew I could do nothing to help them，so I ran on．
Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel．At last I saw a light in the distance．I asked myself"Why did God enable me to escape death？"I decided，"God must have a purpose for saving my life．He must want me to help other people experience what He could do for them．"

59．Between which two paragraphs can the following paragraph be put？C
