A
Late one morning in 20 1 2，headed for lunch in San Francisco，I drove towards one of the toll booths(收费亭)．I heard loud music．It sounded like a party，or a Michael Jackson concert．I looked around．No other cars with their windows open．I looked at the toll booth．Inside it，a young man was dancing．
“What are you doing?”I asked．
“I’m having a party,”he said．
“What about the rest of the people?”I looked over at other booths：nothing moving there．
“They’re not invited．”
I had a dozen other questions for him，but somebody in a big hurry to get somewhere started punching his horn (按喇叭) behind me and I drove off．But I made a note to myself‘．Find this guy again．There’s something in his eyes that says there’s magic in his toll booth．
Months later I did find him again，still with the loud music，still having a party．
Again I asked．“What are you doing?”
He said．“I remember you from the last time．I’m still dancing．I’m having the same party．”
I said．“Look．What about the rest of the people”
He said．“Stop．Do you see other people there?”He pointed down the row of toll booths．“Everyday, they just get in the booths，stay for eight hours，do the same motions．Brain is on hold，dead on the job．But I am enjoying my life and I’m going to be a dancer someday．”
Sixteen people are dead on the j ob，and the seventeenth，in nearly the same situation，finds out another way to live．He and I did have lunch later, and he said。“I don’t understand why anybody would think my job is boring．I have a comer office，glass on all sides．I can see the Golden Gate，San Francisco．the Berkeley hills．Half of the western people have vacations here while I can stay here every day and practise dancing for the future success．’’
26．The writer heard music from ______________．
A．his own car B．other cars C．a concert D．a toll booth
27．At the first time，the writer only asked the young man two questions because _________________.
A．the writer was in a hurry

B．the young man can’t see the city from the toll booth
C．the young man is working there without any hope
D．most of the people like to work in the toll booths
29．According to the passage，how does the young man feel about his job?
A．bored B．pleased C．impatient D．disappointed
30．In this passage，the writer is going to tell us __________．

A man was charged with first··degree murder of a 79．-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death．In an attempt to escape after a bank robbery, the 20．year-old Larry Whitfield broke into the home of Mary Parnell．Police say he didn’t touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror．Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors(公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule，which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a felony crime like robbery---even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose．
But，medically speaking，can someone actually be frightened to death?
Absolutely, no question about it．
The body has a natural protective method called the fight—or-flight response(战或逃反应)，which was originally described by Walter Cannon，the chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942．If, in the wild，an animal is faced with a life．threatening situation．the autonomic nerve system responds by increasing heart rate，increasing blood flow to the muscles，and slowing digestion，among other things．All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast．This process certainly would be of help to ancient humans．However, in the modem world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response．
The autonomic nerve system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response．This chemical is toxic(有毒的1 in large amounts；it damages the organs such as the heart，lungs，liver and kidneys．It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart．There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death．Kidney failure，liver failure，those things don’t kill you suddenly．
By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result．There are people who have died in strong emotions．There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one，turned to his partner and said,“I can die now”一and then he dropped dead．For about seven days after the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon．there was an increase of sudden cardiac death among New Yorkers．
31．Why was the man charged?
A．Because he was trying to kill an old woman．
B．Because he caused an old woman’s terror and she died．
C．Because he beat an old woman and caused her heart attack．
D．Because he murdered an old woman while robbing a bank．
32．The underlined word felony in Para．1 most probably means ___________．
A．new B．severe C．deadly D．organized
33．Which of the following about the fight-or-flight response is true?
A．The fight-or-flight response was not raised or proved yet．
B．It is a natural protective method that can only be found in humans．
C．The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modem ones．
D．The fight—or—flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs．
34．What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?
A．Winning a big lottery． B．Missing a dead family．
C．Watching a horror movie．D．Listening to a sweet song．
35．The purpose of the passage is _____________．
A．to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B．to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C．to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D．to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death
C
The shocking collapse of one of the West Coast’s biggest wild salmon runs has prompted even cash-trapped fishermen to call for an unprecedented (空前的) shutdown of salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon．
The Sacramento River salmon run is usually one of the most productive on the Pacific Coast，providing the bulk of the salmon caught by sport and commercial trollers off California and Oregon．
But only about 90，000 adult salmon returned to the Central Valley last fall--the second lowest number on record and well below the number needed to maintain a healthy fishery．That number is projected to fall to a record low of58．000 this year．
The council，which regulates Pacific Coast fisheries，will choose between three management options：a total ban on salmon fishing off the coast of California and Oregon；extremely limited fishing in select areas；or catch-and-release fishing for scientific research．
For consumers，it will be hard to find any Chinook，also known as king salmon．which are prized by trollers，seafood critics and upscale restaurants．There should still be abundant supplies of farm-raised salmon．but prices could be higher．
Biologists and others are trying to figure out what caused the salmon collapse so they can make sure California’s Chinook populations rebound．
There are many potential factors，because wild salmon are born in streams and rivers, migrate to the ocean when they’re juveniles and spend two to four years there before returning to spawn(产卵)in the areas where they were born．In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．
The council has asked state and federal scientists to research possible causes, including water diversions，habitat destruction，dam operations，agricultural pollution，and ocean conditions．Many scientists point out that unusual weather patterns disrupted the marine food chain along the Pacific Coast in 2005，when thousands of seabirds washed up dead or starving because they couldn’t find enough to eat．
Researchers believe those poor ocean conditions also devastated the juvenile salmon that would have returned to the Central Valley last year．Young Chinook couldn’t find the tiny shrimp and fish they depend onto survive．
36．The underlined word“troller”in the 2nd paragraph means ____________．
A．fisherman B．merchant C．seafood dealer D．organizer
37．Which of the following statements is true about the passage?
A．Last fall，there was the second lowest number of grown salmon returning on record．
B．The salmon migrates to the ocean when they grow up．
C．The farm-raised salmon is not as delicious and nutrients as the wild salmon．
D．Salmon fishing off the coasts of California and Oregon is strictly forbidden．
38．The underlined sentence“In between they have to navigate the often dangerous waters of the
Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay．”in Para 7 indicates that __________．
A．a11 the salmon with their young are able to come back to their birthplace．
B．Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay are off the coast of California．
C the salmon has to be strong enough to survive the rapid flowing waters．
D．the salmon has to swim across the Sacramento Delta and San Francisco Bay once in their life．
39．The possible causes of the salmon decrease mentioned do NOT include ____________．
A．abnormal weather patterns broke me marine food chain along the Pacific Coast
B．bad ocean condition prevented the salmon from returning to their birthplace
C．many salmons are eaten in the ocean before they are capable of returning
D．the dam operation may change the salmons’living environment in the river
40. The passage is mainly about——．
A. the agricultural pollution soils the coast ，
B. the declining number of salmon could bring fishing ban
C. the disrupted food chain in the Pacific Coast
D. the fishermen could make little profit of salmon
D
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently 1 walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round．It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them。These same men can be found there day after day．and，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community．If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them，that their productivity had ceased(停止)．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying．And it is even so with man．
What 1s the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few，but they became memorably impressed on my mind：'In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.'
To me，that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories)．In fact，the battle of life，of existence，is a challenge to everyone．The immortal words of St．Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me．At the end of the road 1 want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith．
41．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A．Wealth results from honest effort．
B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life．
C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda．
D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees．
42. The underlined sentence“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means“_________”。
A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pains，no gains
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
43．We learn from the passage that the author __________.
A．was a wealthy person in the community
B．held．a positive attitude towards an active life
C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
44．What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A．To use wealth properly，eat，drink and be merry．
B．Where there is a will，there is a wav．
C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree．
D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live．
45．The passage above is most probably taken from ___________．
A．an autobiography B．a photography book C．a science fiction D．a USA travel brochure

Michael says that life is all about choices and it‘s our choice how we live lives. He chooses and also gives others advice on how to be positive to life．
In my opinion，when we face life，we should choose to be in a good mood and do something positive towards it because only in this way can we live more happily and do our work more successfully．
Three years ago when I first came to senior school，I was one of the top students in the class．I took it for granted that I would be also in the top places in the following examinations．Consequently, in the first examination of the grade，I failed in several subjects．I was at a lose at first, not knowing what to do. Then I chose not to be pessimistic but to take some positive measures，such as analyzing the reasons of my failures and working even harder than before．Much to my delight, in the mid—term examination，I became one of the top students in the class again．
In face of life，it‘s the best policy for us to choose to be positive and optimistic，so that we are more likely to live a happier life and do a even better job． |
