36.本段敘述作者干活的經(jīng)歷始于幼年。第一句說六歲即和父兄一起干活。接下來這句話依然表明作者很早開始的工作經(jīng)歷。用by表示不遲于……。答案為D。
37.pull表示“拉，拔”，后面有提示信息out of，說明他的工作是把釘子從舊木板中拔出來。B項put“放”；C項picked“撿”；D項pressed“按、壓”均不符合題意。答案為A。
38.第一段敘述的作者幫助家里干活都不是真正意義上的“工作”，而本段說的at JM's Restaurant所做的才是他頭一個“真正的”工作。答案為B。
39.clearing tables“收拾桌子”，與washing dishes并列的活兒應(yīng)該是抹桌子。B項pick“打包”；D項empty“使……空……”顯然不可能。A項sweep意思是清掃，顯然不合適。答案為C。
40.前一句中main這個詞是一個提示。作者的主要任務(wù)是打雜兒，但有時也幫廚。答案為C。
41.head to意思是朝某處去，根據(jù)句意作者每天放學(xué)后就去JM's 工作到10點。而turn to 轉(zhuǎn)向；change to 轉(zhuǎn)而；move to 遷至，都與句意不符。答案為A。
42.本段敘述作者對工作的感受。只有work  與本段主旨有關(guān)。Even這個詞也起到了提示作用。不僅every day，而且on Saturdays都要工作。答案為B。
43.考慮一下當時作者的心情。At that age,it was difficult...在那個還是孩子的年齡，這是很難做到的。觀察幾個選項，watch最符合作者當時的心態(tài)，即眼睜睜地看著別的孩子
去玩，而自己卻要工作。答案為C。
44.working allowed…表示“工作允許……”A項“要求，請求”；B項“告訴”；C項“答應(yīng)，許諾”均不符合。答案為D。
45.因為該篇一直在談?wù)摴ぷ�，故�?yīng)選D。A項study“學(xué)習(xí)”；B項power“力量”；C項age“年齡”均與文章主旨不符。 
46.proud表示“感到自豪的，驕傲的”，從所舉事例可以看出是工作允許“我”擁有的，即和朋友出去時由“我”付賬，并因此感到驕傲。答案為A。 
47.本段敘述勤奮的工作為作者帶來良好的聲譽。小鎮(zhèn)上到處傳揚著對作者的贊譽。主語word意思是消息。get around是固定搭配，指消息的傳播。答案為B。
48.四個選項都是連詞。下一句I was only in seventh grade 中only一詞提示為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。雖然作者才七年級，但當?shù)匾患曳b店已同意讓他賒賬。答案為A。
49.用charged表示記賬，這個動作是在offered me credit之后立即做的。答案為C。
50.這是一個并列句，強調(diào)掙得少，欠的多。掙錢是make money。答案為B。
51.early在此表年齡小。作者在年齡很小時就被允許賒賬，而且已經(jīng)賒了90美元的賬，而他每小時的工資只有65美分，所以他在年齡很小時就懂得了賒賬的危險性。A項gradually“逐漸的”；B項greatly“巨大的”；C項hardly“幾乎不”均不合題意。答案為D。
52.pay off是固定搭配，意思是還清債務(wù)。文章通篇講的是作者幼年工作的經(jīng)歷。因此作者早早便懂得了賒賬的危險，只要一有能力，便還清了。答案為D。
53.level表示程度。工作為作者帶來了一種自我滿足感，這是他的朋友們很少體驗到的。point一點；part部分；sign 跡象，均不合題意。答案為B。
54.定語從句修飾my father，作主語，指人，排除A、D。有逗號隔開，是非限制性定語從句，排除B。答案為C。
55.understand“懂得”；demand“需要”；offer“提供”；fear“畏懼”。根據(jù)句意排除B、D。offer responsibility不成立，答案為A。

Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（別扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.
Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:
●power tools rather than having to use muscle（肌肉）power
●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist（手腕）to keep straight （See figure 1）. This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s side

Figure1. Bend the tool, not the wrist
●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes—remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm Hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men.
●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Good tool Design for Women                        B. Importance of Good Tool Design
C. Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries           D. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection
61. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?
A. It’s kept close to the body.                                   B. It fully uses muscle power.
C. It makes users feel relaxed.                           D. It’s operated with less force.
62. What is Figure 1 used to show?
A. The effective use of the tool.                         B. The way of operating the tool.
C. The proper design of the handle.                    D. The purpose of bending the wrist.
63. In choosing tools for women, _____of the handle is the most important.
A. the size             B. the edge            C. the shape           D. the position

What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or   1  , your melody music.
An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary   2  melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.
Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your  3  .
Think of your life as a   4  sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is    5  to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a   6  , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.
So where to   7  ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right   8  , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.
Be really   9  in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.
  10  situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger
and pride. They are all   11  of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.
  12  has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13  to rid them from your own life.
Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.
Everything you do has an   14  on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15  or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
Take time to   16   other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives,   17  them to have a brighter outlook.
Throughout the world most people are striving for   18  .
From the family unit   19  around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.
So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to   20  a harmonious Universe.

1970 was “World Conservation Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.?
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are hoping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No, One's Going to Change our World. ” It was made by Scatles, Cliff Richard and other singers.

The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a 36 tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive 37 .
My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we 38 along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I 39 that almost every crossing I passed through was 40 by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an) 41fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull 42 a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, 43 …h(huán)ere’s lunch.”
We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44 back in the opposite direction for home. 45 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was 46 and didn’t know quite how to behave.
