24、第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，共30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。AOn Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December. Picking up a few more thi

25、ngs as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk.Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making

26、comments on the things Ibought.It was so funny when Irealized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. Isaid to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that ju

27、st opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “Im not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and Im going home.”The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to

28、 be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.”Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful

29、 box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.”She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would ne

30、ver know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.56The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means. AinterestedBdisappointedCastonishedDfrightened57Which of the following could be the best t

31、itle of the story?AA Piece of Lucky FeatherBA Surprise Christmas GiftCThe Boring Shopping ExperienceDThe Unforgettable Big Hug58How does the writer feel about the pretty young lady?AWorried.BSatisfied.CGratefulDProud.59What can we learn from the story?ANobody is sure what will happen the next moment

32、.BA simple action can bring other people happiness.CBeing patient will decrease the waiting time.DLife without hope and faith is a full thing.BCount Me OutCall me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.I do not possess a computer at ho

33、me or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop sel

34、ling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spful

35、ford. com at the awareness site.”There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages

36、 across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesnt interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.And this is

37、 by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology ad

38、vances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop consciousness.In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow ol

39、der each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.60Whats the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?AGet me out of the Internet world.BComputers are trying to take control of life.CModern technology pushes old people away.DDo not

40、expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.61According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are.AunnecessaryBconvenientCexpensiveDadvanced62What might the author like about the future computer?ATaking blames.BCuring illnesses.CDelivering messages.DResponding to emotions.CWeve all seen them:

41、perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹?。? Its easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various

42、 products to firm up their fat around the waist.And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches（仰臥起坐）. Some can even cause inju

43、ry-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.The

44、fact is that many Americans dont have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they cant lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth

45、of tan inch of fat. Thats enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing su

46、ch movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.”Steven Loy, professor at CaliforniaStateUniversity, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movement

47、s. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.Taking a broader approach, researchers at San DiegoStateUniversity compared 13

48、abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you

49、are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captains Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver

50、the best results.63Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?ATorso Track.BAb-Doer.CCaptains Chair.DBody Shaper-Q8SP.64According to the author, its difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because.Athey do not put in enough effortsBin

51、juries interrupt their exercise frequentlyCthey change their exercise routine regularlyDhow big their muscles will be is determined by birth65The author convinces the readers by.Adescribing successful easesBoffering professional connectsCpresenting findings of researchesDcomparing advertisements of

52、products66Whats the main purpose of this passage?ATo research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.BTo promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.CTo indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.DTo

53、sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.DDestiny and Personal ResponsibilityOne important variable affecting communication across cultures is destiny（命運）and personal responsibility. This refers to the degree to which we feel ourselves the masters of our lives, contrary to t

54、he degree to which we see ourselves as subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and act, to choose the course of our lives and relationships. Some have drawn a parallel between the personal responsibility in North American

55、settings and the view itself. The North American view is vast, with large spaces of unpopulated land. The frontier attitude of “King” of the wilderness, and the expansiveness of the land reaching huge distances, may relate to generally high levels of confidence in the ability to shape and choose our

56、 destinies.In this expansive land, many children grow up with a heroic sense of life, where ideas are big, and hope springs forever. When they experience temporary failures, they encouraged to redouble their efforts, to “try, try again.” Action, efficiency（效率）, and achievement are valued and expected. Free will is respected in laws and enforced by courts.Now consider places in the world with much smaller land, whose history reflects wars and tough struggles: Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In t
