It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,“ he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of
13、 my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.“On his way back, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery hag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didnt have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach
14、 for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boys arm and led him back to his mother.

Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a le
20、ader, an active person. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preferenc
21、e (爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfort
22、able than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

28、at which American people move very troubling. Ones first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People wi
29、ll push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as w
30、ell.Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need
31、help and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me? Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most

37、and women are twins. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screen, radio programs, magazines and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So wh
38、o dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and
39、 may be called “aunt“ or “granny“ can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new thi
40、ngs and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful.

43、 and real beauty.D.However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty.(4).The word “relative“ in paragraph 3 most probably means_.（分数：3.00）A.similarB.relatedC.differentD.independent(5).The author believes that_.（分数：3.00）A.women should lay more emphasis on their o
44、wn qualitiesB.beautiful clothes can make women more attractiveC.women have to show their beauty through their looksD.women are more curious about new things than men九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the sold
45、iers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums (鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one.
46、The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand
47、 and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet (字母表). It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways.
