17.Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.I met(21)Cpeople.But none touched me(22)Bthan a woman I picked up late one night.

Seated,she gave me(30)B."I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I'm in no hurry.Can you drive through downtown?"I saw her eyes shining with(31)Cin the rearview mirror."I don't have any(32)Aleft."she continued."The doctor says I don't have very long."
During the next two hours'(33)B,sometimes she asked me to(34)Cin front of a particular building or corner and she(35)Astare into the darkness.When we got to the destination,she asked,"How much do I(36)Dyou?""Nothing,"I said."You(37)Cmake a living."she answered."I have(38)Bpassengers,"I replied,and gave her a hug. She held onto me(39)D."You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,"she said."Thank you."
After that,I drove aimlessly,lost in thought.People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments.(40)Bgreat moments often catch us unaware,beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

7.If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head,a ring through her nose,a tattoo(纹身)design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley,what would your opinion be?Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly?Different people have different ideas.The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa,it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali,a little island in Indonesia,they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight,flat teeth.The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal.So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager,he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat.There is no anesthetic(麻药)and this tooth filing is really painful.It is a kind of test.If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much,then you are thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar,there is a small group of people who are called the"Papaung".They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck.I mean a VERY long neck.Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it.But you would be wrong!At around the age of 5,a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,tightly between the chin and shoulders.Each year more rings are added and very,very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down,in this way making the neck look longer.A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life,never once taking them off.
So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.

26.What is mainly talked about in paragraph one?C
A.Women's design.B.Beautiful body decoration.
C.Body decoration.D.Attractive decoration.
27.What does the underlined word"trolley"mean?D
A.schoolbag                 B.luggage           C.basket D.shopping cart
28.On Bali,it is believed thatB.
A.a person with straight,flat teeth looks ugly
B.a person with sharp teeth looks ugly
C.a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D.no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
29.Which of the following is NOT true?A
A.Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
B.Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.
C.It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight,flat teeth on Bali.
D.Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.

5.The diversity of the original American Indian settlers was not quite as great as that of the 18th,19th and early 20th centuries when waves of European,Asian and unwilling African immigrants arrived on American shores.However,the First Americans did have more far-going origins that were ever suspected.For example,Brace's studies have revealed that the Blackfoot,Iroquois,and other tribes from Minnesota,Michigan,Ontario,and Massachusetts came down from the Jomon,a prehistoric people of Japan.The Inuit in the far north and tribal groups who once lived down the Eastern seaboard into Florida appear to be a later branch from the trunk of the Jomon family tree.The Athabaskan-speaking people from the Yukon and northern-western Canada,who spread as far south as Arizona and northern Mexico,appear to trace their origins to China."Their facial shapes link them more closely to the living Chinese than to any other population in either part of the world,"says Brace.
Johanna Nichols,a Professor of Slavic languages and literature at the University of California at Berkeley,says that new evidence from native languages throughout the New World strongly suggests that humans have been in the Americas since as early as 40,000 BC.She says that it is only along the west coast that languages appear to have come from immigrants who arrived after the ice age,14,000 years ago.
Nichols also has some different ideas about the direction in which the country was settled.Breaking with the traditional view of migrations,she says that the inside of North America was colonized not only from Siberia but also from the south.
To bolster her argument for an early settlement date,Nichols points to findings from the Monte Verde site in southern Chile.It has been dated at 12,500 years old,which means the area was occupied during the last ice age.And,the Monte Verde people would have needed at least 6,500 years to travel from Alaska to Chile.Yet,that only takes us back to about 19,000 years ago.Her research suggests a very high degree of language diversity is something that happens only with time.She insists that the approximately 150 distinct native American language families we know of today must have required at least 35,000 years to develop.

67.In the first paragraph the writer uses the word"unwilling"to show thatC.
A.the Africans came against the will of most Americans
B.the Africans came without the approval of their parents
C.the Africans were taken here against their own will
D.the Europeans who came at the time didn't want the Africans to come together
68.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Athabaskan-speaking people?

A.They were related to people living in Japan in prehistoric times.
B.They were a branch from the trunk of the Jomon family tree.
C.They have no links to any other people.
D.They were thought to have certain links to the ancestors of the Chinese people.
69.The underlined word bolster in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to 
C.
A.use B.have C.support D.build
70.From the passage we can knowD.
A.people in the Americas today are believed to have probably come down only from the north
B.Nichols strongly suggests that humans have lived in the Americas for about 6,500 years
C.Nichols supports the traditional ideas about the direction in which the country was settled
D.it surely takes a very long time for language diversity to come about.

12.We all remember seeing hitchhikers,standing by the side of the road,thumb,sticking out,waiting for a lift.But it is getting rare nowadays.What killed hitchhiking?Safety is often mentioned as a reason.Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers.That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear:a large,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more complex:hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor.Plenty of people still hichhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can't they afford cars?Why can't they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old.The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small.Yet my trip proves it's still possible to hitchhike.The people who pickes me up were very interesting-lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains.My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as hitchhikers.org.But for now,you can still stick your thumb out(actually,I didn't do much of that,preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK,with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service,I don't think I'll make a habit of it.But having enjoyed it so much,I'm ready now to do a big trip across Eurpe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to have another go,though Afghanistan might be a challenge.I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number.

36.The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers becauseD.
A.they were not heading towards Manchester
B.they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous
C.hitchhiking had been handed and they didn't want to break the law
D.he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous
37.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A
A.Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking
B.Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.
C.25% of UK people don't have access to cars.
D.Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.
38.The"fat blokes in red,spotted scarves"in Paragraph 3most likely meansD.
A.murderous hitchhikers
B.friendly and talkative hitchhikers
C.typical hitchhikers
D.strange hitchhikers like the author
39.According to the author,future hitchhikers are more likely toA.
A.visit websites and find people to share cars with
B.stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out
C.stick out signs with their destinations written on
D.wait for some kind people to  pick them up
40.From the last paragraph,we know that the authorB.
A.frequently hitchhikes in Britain
B.plans to hitchhike across Europe
C.thinks public transport is safer for travel
D.is going to contact the tank commander.

2.One summer on my way to New Orleans,I passed a young man standing by the roadside,with his thumb out for a lift.I drove right by him.Now you're a fool for helping."I don't want to get involved"seems to have become a national motto.
Several days later I was thinking about the hitchhiker,about how I didn't even move my foot off the accelerator(加速踏板)for him.
"Does anyone stop any more?"I wondered.Blanche Dubois once said:"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."Was that possible these days?One way to test this would be for a person to journey across the US without any money,just relying on the others'good will.What would happen?
The idea interested me.So I decided to really do it.Without a penny,for six weeks I hitched 82rides and covered 4,223miles across 14states.I would only accept offers of rides,food and places to sleep.
I found people were generally  compassionate.Hearing I had no money and would accept none,people bought me food and gave me necessities.Those who had the least to give often gave the most.In Nebraska,a house painter named Mike noted the freezing weather and gave me a big army-style jacket.A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house.Then he offered me a tent.
I was treated kindly everywhere I went,amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger and feeling grateful to all the warm-hearted people.My faith in ordinary folks was renewed.It turns out you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.

56.How did the author felt days after he refused to give the young man a ride?A
A.Guilty.  B.Worried.   C.Confused.  D.Satisfied.
57.Why did the author decide to go on a hitchhiking journey without any money?A
A.To test his doubts about people's kindness.
B.To experience the fun of hitchhiking.
C.To call for trust and love among people.
D.To have a cool and romantic journey.
58.The underlined word"compassionate"in Paragraph 5most probably meansB.
A.reliable   B.warm-hearted  C.loyal   D.responsible
59.During the author's journey,B.
A.his puzzle about people strengthened
B.he found poor people more eager to help
C.he learned many survival skills
D.he didn't receive as much help as he had expected
60.Which can be the best title of the story?D

7.Keesh lived at the North Pole a long time ago.He lived near the edge of the polar sea.He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong,healthy body.His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage in the village.His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear.Keesh's father was crushed to death during the struggle.But he killed the bear,and the meat from the bear kept the people from starving.
     Keesh was his only son,and he lived alone with his mother.But people are forgetful,and they soon forgot how Keesh's father had saved their lives.And since Keesh was only a boy and his mother was a woman and not a warrior(勇士),they were forced to live in the smallest and poorest igloo in the village.
     One night there was a council meeting in the large igloo of Klosh-Kwan,who was the chief.At that meeting Keesh showed how much courage he possessed.He rose to his feet and waited for silence.Then,with the dignity(尊严)of an older man,he said,"It is true that my mother and I are given meat to eat.But the meat is always old and tough,filled with bones,and difficult to eat."
     The hunters-both the young and the old-were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way.But Keesh went on steadily,"Because my father,Bok,was a great hunter,I can speak these words.You know that Bok brought home more meat than any hunter in the village.The oldest woman,the weakest old man,received a fair share."
     Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down."My mother has no one except me,and therefore I must speak.My father put his life in danger and died,to provide food for this village.It is only right that I,his son and his wife should have enough good meat as long as there is plenty of good meat in this village.I,Keesh,the son of Bok,have spoken."
     He sat down.He could hear angry murmuring all around him.Some men began to shout at Keesh.They ordered him to leave.They threatened to punish him by not giving him any food at all.Keesh's eyes flashed and the blood pounded under his skin.In the midst of the noise and the uproar,he jumped to his feet.
"Listen to me,you men!"he shouted."I shall never speak in this council again-not until you come to invite me to speak.My father was a great hunter,and so will I be."
     They laughed at Keesh and followed him out of the igloo,shouting at him.But Keesh said nothing more.He walked away with his head raised,looking neither to the left nor the right….
