Pretty soon, he had been on stage fifteen, twenty, and then thirty minutes. One of his (assist) behind the stage stopped him and said, “I thought you had to go after a few minutes. What happened”
    Jimmy answered, “I did have to go, but I can show you the reason why I stayed. You can see for (you) if you look at the front row.” In the front row were two men, both of had lost an arm in the war. One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left. Together, they were able to clap, and that was exactly what they (do) , loudly and cheerfully.

    【答案】Asked；but；happily；the；staying；for；assistants；yourself；whom；were doing
    【解析】本文主要讲述了著名的歌星参加二战期间老兵节目时，被两位失去一支胳膊的老兵感动，久久不肯离去的故事。

    （1）Asked 考查分词作状语。本句中的ask与句子主语构成被动关系。故填asked。

    （2）but 考查连词。根据句意可知他很忙，但是如果他们不介意他只唱一首短歌并迅速离开，他会去参加这个节目。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系，所以使用but表示转折。故填but。

    （3）happily考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词作状语，修饰形容词、副词或动词。本句中使用happily修饰动词agree。句意：节目的导演高兴地同意了。因为他是著名的歌手，能来参加已经很好了。故填happily。

    （4）the考查冠词。在英语中通常使用定冠词表示特指，本句中使用定冠词the特指在一段中提到的one short song。故填the。

    （5）staying考查非谓语动词。固定搭配keep doing sth一直做某事。根据前一句He went through _____ short song and then stayed.可知他唱了那首短歌以后并没有离开，而是留了下来。观众的掌声很热烈，他继续留了下来。故填staying。

    （6） for 考查介词。介词“for+一段时间”表示某个动作持续了很长时间。本句表示他在舞台上停留的时间很长。故填for。

    （7）assistants考查名词。动词assist意为“帮助”，本句中形容词性物主代词his的后面要接名词assistant“助手”，指他的一个助手拦住了他提醒他要离开了。故填assistants。

    （8）yourself考查固定搭配。介词短语for oneself亲自；句意：如果你看前排，你就可以亲眼看见了。故填yourself。

    （9）whom考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是two men，whom指代先行词在句中做介词of的宾语，引导起这个非限制性宾语从句。故填whom。

    （10）were doing 考查时态。本句表示在Jimmy Durante表演的时候，这两位老兵各用一支剩下的手热烈鼓掌。所以使用过去进行时。故填were doing。

    【题目】The world seems gloomy (阴沉的) and gray when you’re feeling blue. In fact, being down might even affect how you perceive (感知) the colour blue. A recent study about colour was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person’s ability to perceive colour and their emotions.

    Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. That’s in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There’s reason, he says, that sad people commonly describe the world as “colourless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.

    In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the sadness group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement” group watched a comedy.

    Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches (斑点) that had been changed to a grayish colour. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their colour perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.

    The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow colour axis (色轴). But they did not have problems seeing colours in the red-green spectrum (光谱). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.

    Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colours, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.

    【1】According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects ________.

    A. how they feel B. how they think

    C. their world view D. their language skills

    【2】In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to ________.

    A. check their feelings B. influence their moods

    C. develop their interests D. test their personalities

    【3】Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment? ________

    A. To make them look prettier

    B. To make them hard to recognize

    C. Because it changed the participants’ attitudes

    D. Because it was good for the participants’ eyes

    【4】Which colour is easier to recognize for sad people? ________

    A. Blue B. Yellow

    C. Red D. Gray

    【题目】Researchers are trying to figure out exactly when and where a lizard got trapped in the sap(汁、液) of a tree. Over time, the tree sap turned into amber (琥珀), preserving the lizard’s mains, which a man discovered and donated to the Miller Museum of geology at Queen’s University. But the man didn’t report the amber’s age and where he got it.

    “The man who donated it died, unfortunately,” said Ellen Handyside, an undergraduate student at Queen’s University. “We are really starting from scratch in determining its history Ellen Handyside is leading the research into the amber-surrounded lizard. She and her colleagues analyzed the chemical composition of the 4.7-inch -long piece of amber and learned some facts. “The amber wasn’t actually artificial,” she told Live Science, “and we found that it did match up quite well to an amber sample.”

    The researchers analyzed the amber's carbon and hydrogen isotopes(同位素) and the results indicated that the amber was formed from the sap of a flowering tree. Moreover, the results suggested that the tree and the lizard, for that matter, lived in an area with a lot of rainfall and dated to the Neogene, a period that lasted from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quatemary Period. Next, the scientific team realized that the 2.7-inch-long lizard was likely a gecko(壁虎), according to a detailed, 3D, digital model of the animal’s body that the researchers created through X-ray microscopy scans.

    “We looked at the skull ---the teeth are in place and the ear bones are there too. And we’ve even got some flesh, skin and its long toes,” Handyside said. “It’s fantastic!” She said she hoped that they could figure out how the creature fit into the gecko family tree. “When you think of a gecko, you think of short and fat toes and sticky pads. That isn’t what we’re looking at, but it’s more likely to live in trees. If it were a tree-living creature, then its death actually could make more sense,” Handyside said.

    【1】What can probably be inferred about the amber?

    A. It was obtained by a museum at a low price.

    B. Its original owner knew nothing about it.

    C. It was found to be a unique type of amber.

    D. Its donor didn't say much about its history.

    【2】What was found about the lizard through studying isotopes?

    A. Its category.

    B. Its shape.

    C. Its living habit.

    D. Its living surroundings.

    【3】What can we learn from Handyside’s words?

    A. The Lizard's death was caused by a gecko,

    B. The lizard has fat and short toes.

    C. The lizard is preserved very well.

    D. The lizard belongs to the tree living creature.

    【4】What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

    A. The discovery of a piece of natural amber.

    B. The mystery about a piece of amber.

    C. The research into a piece of amber.

    D. The meaningful death of a lizard.

    【题目】Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

    One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

    Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

    Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

    “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

    【1】What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?

    A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre

    B. A wild man was pushing a car

    C. A terrible accident happened

    D. An old man’s car broke down

    【2】Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?

    A. He was also to be interviewed

    B. He needed a traveling companion

    C. He always helped people in need

    D. He was thankful to Jimmy

    【3】How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?

    A. He was sorry for the other applicants

    B. There was no hope for him to get the job

    C. He regretted helping the old man

    D. The interviewer was very rude

    【4】What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？

    A. Where there is a will, there’s a way

    B. A friend in need is a friend indeed

    C. Good is rewarded with good.

    D. Two heads are better than one
