The sound caused the host to rush back from the inner room．He looked at the  25 floor and blurted out, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter!”
The father started to say something．Then he muttered, “Sorry, I  26  it and it fell．”
“ It doesn’t matter,” the host said．
Later, when they left the house, the daughter said, “ Daddy, I saw your  27  in the windowpane （窗玻璃）．You were sitting perfectly  28  ．Why did you say…．”
The father  29 , “What then would you  30 as the cause of its fall?”
“ It fell by itself．The floor is uneven （不平）．It wasn’t steady when Mr．Li put it there．”
“It won’t  31 , girl．It sounds more  32  when I say I knocked it down．There are things people accept less the more you  33  them．The truer your story is, the less true it sounds．”
The daughter was  34 in silence for a while．Then she said, “ Can you  35  it only this way?”
“Only this way,” the father said．

16．B。與37小題構(gòu)成對應(yīng)關(guān)系，相對于“客人”的“主人”應(yīng)用host；master作“主人”講時，強(qiáng)調(diào)具有“控制別人的能力”。
17．D。
18．D。 think of“想到某事”。know of知道某事的有關(guān)情況；remember“記起”是及物動詞，其后不須接of，故不選。
19．A。聯(lián)系上文，主人拿起熱水瓶，故離開的時候是把熱水瓶放在桌上，而不是“茶杯”或“蓋子”或“茶”。
20．B。主人離開后，客人“仍然”坐在那里。enjoy表“喜歡做某事”，imagine“想象”，hate “憎惡”都與題意不符。
21．C。父親正要端杯子喝茶，這時候傳來“破裂聲”，有東西打破了，crash即“爆裂聲”，“撞擊聲”，noise指嗓音；此句并不是指某人來了，故不能選A或B
22．D。look over one’s shoulder指“某人轉(zhuǎn)頭看”。
23．A。女孩轉(zhuǎn)頭看，盯著破裂的熱水瓶，watch指下意識的觀察，不合題意。
24．C。從后句中可以看出，他們并沒有碰開水瓶，而開水瓶破了，故是“奇怪的事”。
25．B。破的是熱水瓶，因此應(yīng)該是“冒蒸氣的地板”。
26．A。父親解釋是因為自己“碰了”熱水瓶所以它破了。因此用touch。
27．C。reflection指鏡子中或靜水中的“映像”，從前文中我們可以知道女孩在窗前看花，因而是從玻璃中看到了她父親的“映像”，而不是“影子”。
28．B。坐著不動用still。
29．C。父親和女兒對這一事件發(fā)生原因的不同看法，父親從成人的觀點出發(fā)，覺得自己承擔(dān)責(zé)任更好，女兒認(rèn)為不應(yīng)說謊，父親覺得女兒天真，所以“笑著說”即laughed。
30．D。
31．A。do與 will連用常表“合適的”“有用的”“行”。
32．C。指“可以接受的”。
33．A。父親向女兒解釋原因。
34．D。女兒“陷入了沉默”be lost in silence。
35．B。“只能這樣解釋嗎？”

Motorists used to listening to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.
The Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.
The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals(間隔) in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes(音符).
Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.
Patent documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones”.
There are three musical roads in central and northern Japan---one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土機(jī)) before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.
The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.
“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph (20 kph) has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”
59. According to the passage, to create different notes, melody roads use ______.
A. cars    B. grooves    C. spaces between internals    D. bulldozers
60. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is dependent on ______.
A. how far the grooves are                B. how big the grooves are
C. the number of the grooves              D. the speed of the car
61. The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean ______.
A. fastest      B. possible      C. best     D. suitable
62. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.
A. drive very fast                       B. drive slowly
C. open the window wide                D. keep the window closed

This weekly four-day physical activity schedule will get your kids excited about being active.

Saturday
Get the whole family out of the house together and over to a park. Bring lots of sports equipment, pack a healthy picnic and have a family competitive sports day.

After everyone has played hard for a couple of hours, stop for a picnic and then if your family isn’t too tired, go back and play some more.

Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt （內(nèi)疚） or fear of punishment.  “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated （強(qiáng)制的）‘yes’”, she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”
Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes.  Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”
1. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragragh means ________.
A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ________.
A. secret way     B. polite way         C. proud way        D. guilty way
3 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ________.
A. they say “no” at a suitable time        B. they say “no” as much as possible
C. they are afraid of saying “no”         D. they make others angry at them
4. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she ________.
A. enjoys a wonderful life              B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life                D. forgets to say “yes” in the end

To get an extra 14 years of life, don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．
After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993-2007, Kay-Tee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn’t．
“We’ve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we’ve not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain’s Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”
Study participants(參與者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours would surely gain 14 years．
“We can’t say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things,” said Doctor Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．”The 14 years is an average across the population of what’s theoretically(理論上) possible．”
“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them”, Susan Jebb said, ”We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”
1．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the four healthy habits?
A．Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．
B．Doing proper exercise in the morning every day．
C．Having a cigarette before going to bed every day．
D．Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day．
2．We can learn from the passage that_____．
A．the study observed people as well as tested specific changes
B．Susan Jebb did not take part in the study
C．there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habits
D．only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours
3．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits．
B．People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．
C．All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．
D．People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they’re good．
4．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years
B．Healthy Habits Could Gain You Extra 14 years
C．A New Way of Keeping Healthy
D．Smoking and Drinking Harms Your Health

Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.
Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.
Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.
All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 
1.  What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage us to travel across Europe.
B. To suggest that the whole world is melting into one like the EU.
C. To praise the tourism policy of the EU.
D. To introduce tourism conditions in the EU.
2. By saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected to follow this example”, the writer means that ________.
A. more signs will be set up in Chinese in European countries
B. more and more Europeans have a desire to know more about China
C. more and more Chinese people will go to travel across Europe
D. Chinese is now an important language in Europe
3. Compared to five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ______.
A. you needn’t drive a car
B. you can use a calculator to exchange money
C. applying for different visas is much simpler
D. one visa is good enough for traveling in a number of countries
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _________
A. an increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe
B. Chinese has become an important language in Europe
C. the Euro is the only money used in the EU now
D. it is always necessary to unite many countries into one
