He _16_ me with a puzzleall because he waved to me like someone does _17_ seeing a close friend. A big, _18_ smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to _19_ his face to see if I knew him. I didnt. Perhaps he had _20_ me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the _21_ that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.Then one day the _22_ was solved. As I _23_ the school he was standing in the middle of the road _24_ his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. _25_ the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars _26_. To the first he waved and _27_ in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same _28_ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking(表情刻板的) businessman, gave a brief, almost _29_ wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school _30_ more heartily.Every morning I continued to watch the man with _31_. So far I havent seen anyone _32_ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) _33_ to so many peoples lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His _34_ armed the start of my day.

Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Bras Basash Road is an interesting example, “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(馬來語). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.36. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government37. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Change suddenly.B. Change significantly.C. Disappear mysteriously.D. Disappear very slowly.38. Which of the following places is named after a person?A. Raffles Place.B. Selector Airbase.C. Piccadilly Circus.D. Paya Lebar Crescent.39. Bras Basah Road is named _.A. after a personB. after a placeC. after an activityD. by its shape40. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.BI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke(喚起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(認識) of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.()I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession42. The author used to think of her mothers English as _.A. impoliteB. amusingC. imperfectD. practical43. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.44. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _.A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning45. What is the passage mainly about?A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English.B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother.C. The authors misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.D. The authors experiences of using broken English.CTens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26funded with 2.5 million of taxpayers moneywas announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Governments priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I dont know why the Governments wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Governments plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.”()Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”46. Critics of the plan argued that _.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldnt get free ticketsD. the government wouldnt be able to afford it47. according to the supporters, the plan should _.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England48. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.49. We can infer from the passage that in England _.A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people dont like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education50. according to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems _.A. controversialB. inspiringC. excitingD. unreasonableDNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感覺）of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one persons perception（感知）of anothers “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the studys hypotheses（假設）, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.51. According to Paragraph 1, a persons emotion may be affected by _.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online52. The author mentions Harlows experiment to show that _.A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships53. In Barghs experiment, the students were asked to _.A. evaluate someones personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively54. We can infer from the passage that _.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are
