    Our spiritual intelligence quotient，or SQ，helps us understand ourselves，and live fuller，
    happier lives．
    While we’re all born with SQ，most of us don’t even realize that we have it．Fortunately，you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ．Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding．
    Sit Quietly．The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude（独处）and
    silence．To tune in to your spirit，you have to turn down the volume in your busy，noisy，complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all．Start small by creating islands for silence in
    your day．In the car，instead of reading or doing something else，use the time to think．At work，
    shut the door to our office between meetings，take a few breaths and let them out very，very slowly．Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed．
    Step Outside．For many people，nature sets their spirit free．Go outside to watch a beautiful
    sunset．If you are walking with your dog，take the time to admire flowers in bloom；follow the flight of birds；watch clouds float overhead．
    Ask Questions of Yourself．Ask open-ended questions，such as “What am I feeling？” “What are my choices？”or “Where am I heading？” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some
    supernatural form or e-mail．“Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question，”says Reverend  Joan Carter，a Presbyterian（长老会的）minister in Sausalito，California．“But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective（视角）I never considered before．”
    Trust Your Spirit．While most of us rely on gut feeling（本能的反应）to realize danger，spiritual intelligence pushes us，not away from，but towards some action that will lead to a greater good．
    68．The passage is mainly about_________．
    A．what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit your life
    B．what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
    C．the relationship between your SQ and your life
    D．advantages and disadvantages of SQ
    69．The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the third paragraph probably means______．
    A．get your spirit relaxed    B．keep up your spirit
    C．keep seated quietly D．change your spirit
    70．The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that_________．
    A．there are no immediate answers to your questions
    B．e-mails can’t keep working out a problem
    C．the more questions you ask，the better answers you’ll get
    D．changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem
    71．From the passage，we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is________．
    A．a peaceful mind             B．deep thought
    C．spare time and hobbies   D．good spirits

    Today, among people everywhere, there is an increasing awareness and worry about the steady growth in the world’s population．A recent survey conducted by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities （UNFPA） reported that this growth will continue until the end of the next century．For developing countries alone, the annual average population growth is, at present, 4．6% compared to 2．0% for developed countries．At this rate, the world’s population will reach 10．2 billion by the turn of the 21st century．With the growth in population is the problem of food security… the guarantee of a steady supply of food．The unstoppable growth in population justifies the Malthusian Doctrine that population of a region will continue to grow unless checked, and this is of course alarming since it will inevitably lead to food shortages of considerable proportions．
    Our forests are an abundant source of food and fuel, two items essential in sustaining life．Above 30% of the world’s land surface is covered by such forests．In Asia alone, more than two billion people depend heavily on forest products for their subsistence and survival．To maintain a reasonable balance between population growth and food supply, this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel must be conserved and protected from its worst enemy — man himself．It is appalling （令人震惊的） to note that in many developing countries, which are themselves heavily hit by population-food imbalance, governments approve the cutting down of forests to meet their immediate needs for saleable timber, and also for agricultural land．Often the cutting down and burning of forests is conducted with total abandon owing to the absence of sound forestry techniques and management．At the rate tropical forests are now being cleared each year, the world’s tropical forests will be completely destroyed within the next 100 years．
    In order to maintain food security for the world’s population, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations （FAO） has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring food supply, maximizing stability in the flow of this supply and ensuring access to it by all．Forestry, according to the FAO, plays a vital role in making it possible to fulfill all its three objectives．Its most important role is that of conserving soil and water．Trees provide natural protection against soil erosion （侵蚀） by absorbing the excess water brought by heavy rains．
    1．The first paragraph tells us that ____．
    A．the flow of food supply is the result of population increase．
    B．the world population has reached the 10-billion mark．
    C．the problem of population growth has caused considerable alarm in a few countries．
    D．the problem of food supply goes hand-in-hand with population increase．
    2．The Malthusian Doctrine presents ____ as far as world population is concerned．
    A．an optimistic view of the future     B．a pessimistic outlook for the future
    C．an encouraging picture          D．an indifferent picture
    3．In this context, “this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel” （in Paragraph 2） refers to ____．
    A．the flow of food supply           B．forests
    C．woodland products               D．man’s worst enemy
    4．The three objectives of the FAO can be replaced by ____．
    A．stopping population growth       B．increasing food production
    C．achieving food security          D．ensuring maximum utilization of forests

    Everyone makes mistakes in life, but for whales and dolphins, the “mistake” of landing on the shore costs the highest price---their lives.
    People living along the coast of Australia and New Zealand have been shocked and saddened by the number of whales and dolphins that they have found on their beaches recently. Since November 28th, 96 whales and dolphins have died in Australia and 53 whales died in New Zealand. Although 20 whales were saved, some of these were not expected to live, as they were too weak to swim with the others back to sea.
    Bob Brown, leader of Australia’s Green party, said the mass beaching was caused by the recent “sound bombing” of the ocean floor between the two countries. This is a method of testing for oil and gas reserves (储藏量).
    But mass beaching of whales has long puzzled scientists. Typically most members of the stranded (搁浅) group will appear to be perfectly healthy. “Some researchers believe that close relationship within the group causes the problem, if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave” said Shery Gibney, a leading biologist in New Zealand. “Some will come in and try and assist it; if they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
    Another common theory is that the whales’ navigation (导航) system are thought to break down in some way. It has been said that whales follow electromagnetic (电磁的) patterns in the sea-bed. The whales can get confused because these patterns sometimes change. That would be a bit like a new roundabout (环状交叉路) being built on a road you were used to driving on. You might be confused for a minute when you come to it for the first time, and you might even take a wrong turning before getting back on your route.
    A different idea is that when whales chase fish for food they end up in shallow waters because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
    And yet, from time to time a group will swim on purpose into shallow waters and end up on the beach, where they die. If returned to the sea, some whales often show great determination in restraining themselves.
    小题1:________ whales and dolphins would probably die in this mass beaching along the coast of Australia and New Zealand.
    A．Less than 100B．Less than 150C．More than 150D．149
    小题2:Which of the following can be used to explain the term “sound bombing”?
    A．The terrible sound that is caused in the war between two countries.
    B．Human activities that aim to explore the ocean floor.
    C．The loud sound that whales and dolphins make.
    D．The earthquakes that happen on the ocean floor.
    小题3:Which of the following couldn’t probably lead to the mass beaching of whales?
    A．A change in the electromagnetic patterns that whales follow.
    B．New roundabout being built on a road.
    C．Their full attention to the search for food.
    D．Exploiting natural resources in oceans.
    小题4:The passage is mainly about _______.
    A．that whales and dolphins may make mistakes as well as human beings
    B．how scientists have found the reasons for the mass beaching of whales
    C．how human beings make use of the ocean resources
    D．why the mass beaching of whales happens

    It is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own— a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.
    One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. The, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will to ward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.
    From that day on, I became smile – conscious, and I practice the diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the right – of – way (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, I’d smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a good – natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault – and if I could remember my resolution in time! – he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside ill – feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic add dents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!
    59．The author got angry while shopping one day because         .
    A．of the clerk’s unfriendliness and lack of concern
    B．of her misfortune
    C．she failed to purchase what she intended

    A．was well – educated but unwilling to help others
    B．was able to speak English
    C．knew some English and was ready to help others
    D．was familiar with the young man
    61．In the author’s opinion, if all people remembered to smile when driving,         .
    A．many traffic accidents could be avoided
    B．they would receive a good natural smile in return
    C．they could get a broad smile of understanding
    D．they wouldn’t feel any tension
    62．The best title for this passage could be          .
    A．The Art of Smiling  B．The Universal Language
    C．The Power of Love  D．The Magic Power of Friendship

    I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of starting acting independently, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).
    They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.
    It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly developed a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great roadblock for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
    But the roadblock is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that is really important.
    63. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.
    A. readers how to be popular with people around
    B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves
    C. parents how to control and guide their children
    D. people how to understand and respect each other
    64. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact most of them______.
    A. have much difficulty understanding each other
    B. lack confidence
    C. dare not deal with any problems alone
    D. are very much afraid of getting lost
    65. The author thinks of advertisements as ______to teenagers.
    A. instructive      B. attractive    C. beneficial       D. influential 
    66. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______.
    A. differ from others in as many ways as possible
    B. become popular with others
    C. find his real self
    D. rebel against his parents and the popularity wave

    The campaign is over. The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.
    The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations.
    Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times.“Kobe( the basketball player) doesn’t have to be everybody’s role model anymore.”
    Recent polls also suggest that Obama’s victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites“will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.
    However, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.
    Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America’s racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse of the family unit in black communities.
    It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse（扭转）such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, say that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities.“That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,”he told the Los Angeles Times, “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”
    In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.
    52: For years, before Obama was elected president of the US,      .
    A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacks
    B. blacks could only find role models on the basketball court
    C. minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real life
    D. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area
    53. According to Bill Bank,      .
    A. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans
    B. young blacks should not be so much influenced by Obama
    C. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their reality
    D. it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to them
    54. What do you think the author is probably going to talk about in the next paragraph?
    A. In what ways Obama will contribute to racial relations in the US.
    B. How Obama will influence Americans as a national role model.
    C. How Obama will contribute to multiculturalism in the US.
    D. How to choose a role model in his community as a young black.
    55.What would be the best title for this passage?
    A. The First African-American President
    B. America’s New Role Model
    C. Obama—a Successful Black
    D. Choosing a Right Role Model

    For many years, scientists couldn't figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in the primitive ocean. What's more, living things have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless.
    　　After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped.
    　　Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen.
    　　Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids-the very kind of molecules found in all living things.
    61. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing?
    　　A. 4 billion years ago. B.1953.　C. After seven days.D. Many years later.
    62. Scientists figured out that human bodies are basically made of .
    A.amino acids
    B.molecules
    C. hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms
    D. water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen
    63. Harold Urey and Stanley L.Miller did their experiment in order to .　
    A. find out what had happened on the Earth 4 billion years ago
    　　 B.simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth
    　　 C. dissolve some new chemicals
    　　D.analyze a liquid
    64. At the end of the last paragraph, the underlined word "it" refers to .
    A. a closed loop   B. an electric spark   C.water   D. the liquid
    65. According to the writer, living things on the Earth include .

    A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票)at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the £25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
    Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him--- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”
    Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized--- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” he asked. The professor replied: “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.

    A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
    B. he hesitated about keeping the money for some time
    C. he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robber

    66. Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabbatucci because they  ______.
    A. wanted to make fun of him  B. hoped to get the money
    C. knew who the robber was   D. lost the lottery ticket
    67. The word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by  ______.
