curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know more about it. there is 36 wrong with curiosity in itself. whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about.curiosity is 38 silly or wrong. some persons with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. they are 40 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are bringing home or taking out or 41 they have come home so early or late. to be interested in these things is 42 because they are not at all important. it is none of their 43 to know what neighbors do or are doing. such curiosity is 44 not only foolish but also harmful. for most probably, it 45 to small talk which often brings 46 , shame or disrespect to others, and thus hurt their feelings.on the other 47 , there is a noble curiositythe curiosity of the wise, who 48 at all the great things and try to find out all they 49 about them. columbus could 50 have found america if he had not been 51 . james watt would not have made the steam engine 52 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid(水壺蓋). all the great discoveries and inventions in human history have been made 53 a result of

gesture or a meaningless expression. when my friend maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, i know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. i feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“have a nice day. next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. the words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào))with a fixed procedure. they are spoken at me, not to me. obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business. the expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. as soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”the expression can be pleasant. if a stranger says “have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. the salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. but in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. while the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. the point is that people say it all the time when they like.56how does the author understand maxies word?a. maxie shows her anxiety to the author.b. maxie really wishes the author a good day.c. maxie encourages the author to stay happy.d. maxie really worries about the authors security.57what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?a. the salesgirl is rude. b. the salesgirl is bored.c. the salesgirl cares about me. d. the salesgirl says the words as a routine.58according to the last paragraph, people say “have a good day” _a. sincerely b. as thanks c. as a habit d. encouragingly59what is the best title of the passage?a. have a nice day- a social customb. have a nice day- a pleasant gesturec. have a nice day- a heart-warming greetingd. have a nice day- a polite ending of a conversationb when did you last see a polar bear?on a trip to a zoo,perhaps?if you had attended a winter activity in new york a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.these polar bears are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.that day,the air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.the members of the polar bear club at coney island,new york are usually about the age of 60.members must satisfy two requirements.first,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.polar bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from november through february. dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. the polar bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.they say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循環(huán)系統(tǒng)）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.a person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. the main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.the polar bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.as one 70-year-old woman says,when i go into water,i pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away. 60.the members of the polar bear club must meet the following requirements except that_. a.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months b.they must reach the age of 60 c.they should be easy to make friends with d.they must agree to swim outdoors from november through february 61.according to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_. a.polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water b.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high c.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue d.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter 62.the polar bears like to swim year-round,for_. a.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter b.they can remain young c.they find it enjoyable and interesting d.they might meet fewer troubles in life 63.the passage is mainly about_. a.the requirements of the polar bear club b.a group of cold-water-swimming livers c.the polar bears life in new york d.doctors ideas about cold-water swimming c down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. it is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. a person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. he or she accepts others as equals. a down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. there is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. the expression is both feet on the ground. someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. he has what is called mon sense. he may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. the opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. a man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.the person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. but the opposite is not always true. someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. when we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong. 64. if a person has his nose in the air, he _. a. is down to the earth b. is easy to deal with c. always thinks he is more important than others d. is confident65. if a person has both feet on the ground, he _. a. is in touch with reality, and doesnt have any dreamsb. has some dreams but he is realisticc. is honest, open and easy to deal withd. is honest, open but hard to deal with66. from the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually _. a. help a student get down to the earth b. wake a student upc. help a daydreaming student e down to the ground d. help a daydreaming student to bee more realisticd. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth67. from the passage, we can infer the person who is _ is the most popular kind of person.a. down-to-earth b. standing on the groundc. with his nose in the air d. with his head in the cloudsdmontreal(reuters)-crossing the us-canada border(邊界) to go to church on a sunday cost a us citizen $10,000 for breaking washingtons strict new security(安全)rules. the expensive trip to church was a surprise for richard albert, who lives right on the canadian border. like the other half-dozen people of township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for albert. the nearby quebec village of st. pamphile is where they stop, eat and go to church.there are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between canada and us-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.as a result, albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the us after attending church in canada, as usual. the us customs(海關(guān))station in this area is closed on sundays ,so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last may, following a tightening of border security. two days later, albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法地 ).ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 us citizens in that area so they can enter the country when canadian customs stations are closed, but the us stopped a similar program last may. that forces the people to make a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.albert has requested the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a sunday church since. “i feel like im living in a prison.” he said.68. albert was fined because he _.a. failed to obey traffic rules b. broke the american security rulesc. worked in st.pamphile without a passd. damaged the gate of the customs office69. the underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means_.a. a drive through the town b. a race across the fieldsc. a roundabout (迂回的) way of traveling d. a journey in the mountain area70. what would be the best title for the text?a. a cross-country trip b. a special border passc. an unguarded border d. an expensive church visit第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白出的最佳選項.選項中有兩項為多余選項. is there anything more important than health? i dont think so“health is the greatest wealth,”
