10.In general,people talk about two groups of colors:warm colors and cool colors.Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people:people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red,orange and yellow.Where there are warm colors and a lot of light,people usually want to be active.People think that red,for example,is exciting.Sociable people,those who like to be with others,like red.The cool colors are green,blue and violet.These colors,unlike warm colors,are relaxing.Where there are cool colors,people are usually quiet.People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting,but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors.He suggests that a warm color,such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant.People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly.Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However,almost everyone agrees that red,orange,and yellow are warm and that green,blue,and violet are cool.Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days.Because in the north the sun is higher during summer,the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.

29.Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A
A.Blue,violet   
B.Yellow,green   
C.Black,blue.
D.Brown,white
30.Which of the following statements is not true?C
A.Sociable people like warm colors.
B.Warm colors can make people excited.
C.People who like to be with others don't like red.
D.Where there are warm colors,people want to be active.
31.Which is the right color for different rooms?B
A.Red or orange for offices.
B.Orange for dining rooms.
C.Blue for bedrooms.
D.Red for studies
32.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?D
A.Two groups of colours            
B.Cool colours
C.Warm colours                   
D.Colours and people.

20.A wagging (摇) tail is a form of dog communication.Dogs wag their tails to tell us something about how they're feeling.
There are probably few people who haven't seen a dog wagging his tail,and most of the time it's obvious what the dog is trying to tell you with this kind of body language.It is important,however,that you pay attention to how the dog is holding his tail when he's wagging it.
Is it relaxed and moving back in forth?Is his body moving along with the wagging?Or is the tail high and moving quickly back and forth while the dog's body remains fairly erect and stiff (竖直僵硬的)?Where the tail is and the way a dog holds his body while he's wagging it can give you a clue about what he is trying to communicate.
Most people look at a dog with a wagging tail and assume he is happy.Most of the time this is true,but there are times when a dog wags his tail right before he becomes aggressive.If a dog is wagging his tail and the rest of his body seems relaxed or is moving along with the wagging,you are dealing with a happy and comfortable dog.
If a dog is holding his body erect and stiff while wagging his tail,however,he may be telling you that he's feeling territorial or uncomfortable with something that is going on around him.In this case,the dog's tail will be held high and moving back and forth rapidly.This discomfort can be a sign to attack.
This is one reason people sometimes report that a dog was wagging his tail right before he bit someone.So if you come across a dog you don't know who is wagging his tail,check out what the rest of his body language is telling you before you approach.

32.In what situation do we know a dog is happy?C.
A.When we have a close look at him.
B.When we try to communicate with him.
C.The dog wags his tail and his body remains relaxed.
D.The dog moves his body along and holds his tail high.
33.A dog's tail holding high and moving back and forth rapidly shows he may beA.
A.aggressive     B.frightened    C.friendly    D.relaxed
34.What are people expected to do when meeting a strange dog?B.
A.Train him to be friendly.B.Judge him by his body language.
C.Ask the owner for help.D.Approach him slowly.
35.What is the best title of this passage?D.
A.Signs of a Dog's Bites.
B.A Special Communication.
C.A Pet Dog-Human's Friend.
D.Dog Feeling Expression-Wagging Tail.

18.New research offers fresh insight on when to launch a product or service,and shows that being first to market isn't always a competitive advantage.
In 2004,David Cohen had an idea for a social network for mobile phones that would connect users in the real world.His company,called iContact,launched a beta version ( 测试版 ),and seemed ready to tap the muchpublicized mobile software market.Cohen,then 36,had already founded a successful software company. (51)C,after 18 months,he was unable to get phone carriersto distribute his software,and he closed the company.
Bets on mobile applications didn't begin to (52)D until Apple's iPhone app storeopened the market in 2008.
Conventional (53)B says being first to market creates a competitive advantage.Reality is more complicated.Market opportunities are (54)C opening and closing,and a hit idea at one point could be a failure a year earlier or a yawning"me too"business a year later.It's tough---likely (55)A---to identify the best moment to enter a market,but common sense dictates new entrepreneurs ( 创业人 ) can improve their odds ( 机会 ) if they (56)C how much they bearto gain or lose by waiting.
New academic research suggests one way entrepreneurs can (57)Bwhether they should enter a market first or wait on the sidelines.The decision depends on how hostile ( 不利的 ) the learning environment is; (58)C,how much entrepreneurs can learn by observing other players before they (59)A,compared to what they learn from participating after they enter,according to Moren Levesque,an entrepreneurship researcher at the University of Waterloo.Levesque,along with professors Maria Minniti of Southern Methodist University and Dean Shepherd of Indiana University,used a mathematical (60)D to weigh the risks and benefits of entering the market early.Their research is among the first to explore"how different learning environments may influence the entry behavior of entrepreneurs."
The key to the academics'findings on timing is this:In a hostile learning environment,entrepreneurs gain relatively (61)C benefit by watching others.For example,if the relevant knowledge is (62)Bintellectual property,studying the market before entering wouldn't yield much advantage.In these situations,the trade-off ( 权衡利弊 ) (63)A entering early.But in less hostile learning environments,where entrepreneurs gain valuable information (64)Bto increase their success just by watching other companies,companies benefit from waiting and learning lessons from earlier players.IContact's successors,for example,may have learned from watching the company's trouble in getting mobile networks to distribute their software,a barrier that was (65)D by the iPhone's app store.

5.There is an old Chinese proverb that states"One generation plants the trees;another gets the shade",and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing.If close,the relationship can be similar to friendship.However,the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级) and unconditional love,which p reclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina,27years old,says,"I love spending time with my mom,but I wouldn't consider her my best friend.Best friends don't pay for your wedding.Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life!Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20years longer than you."This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.
While some adult relationships are still troubled,many find them to be extremely rewarding.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers,responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology,which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends,but for better or worse,the mother and daughter relationship is permanent,even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason.The mother and daughter relationship is still closer than any other.There is not an equal relationship.Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers'emotional well-being.It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers.It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well-being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers never stop being mothers,which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.Mother always"trumps"friends.

28.The underlined word"preclude"in Paragraph 1probably means"B".
A.differ      
B.prevent
C.benefit     
D.change
29.Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship?A
A.Because they have a lot of common interests.
B.Because they have common family values.
C.Because they have no generation gap.
D.Because they keep a constant relationship.
30.What do we know from the passage?C
A.The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B.A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C.The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends'friendship.
D.Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
31.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.How to be a good mother and daughter?
B.Who is a mother's best friend?
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed
D.Can a mother be a daughter's best friend?

2.We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives. Instead of letting the world soften us,we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to ignore the hurt and,pain,but we can't hide from ourselves.(36)F

19.Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools.In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state.But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
         A charter school might be independent or connected to the local public school system.It might be started by teachers,parents or,in some cases,a profit-making business.It sets up the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured.And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network (GCSN).The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but also to go further than that.
         The schools teach students to be concerned with community issues (社区事务) that affect them and the environment.For example,young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating.Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria.And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
         Jim McGrath is president of the GCSN.He says there are about two hundred"green"charter schools across the United States.The plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools."The most important thing is that every one of us-every child,every adult-has a responsibility that our action,every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in.And that our natural resources are never unlimited.And that if we want a positive earth for future generations,we all need to make commitments to be change agents so that we don't destroy our natural resources,"said Jim McGrath.              
         The GCSN holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota.Supporters of green schools say their goal is to expand the movement across the country.
66.Which of the following is tine of a charter school?D
A.It has more strict school rules.
B.It is built for disabled students.
C.It is financed by profit-making business.
D.It generally has greater freedom of teaching.
67.The GCSN:willD.
A.destroy our natural resources
B.combine private schools together
C.build more schools throughout the world
D.do more to make a difference to the environment
68.Students in the GCSN mayC        
A.join in political issues
B.recycle waste from factories                      
C.grow crops in a school garden
