14、分 阅读理解(总题数：0，分数：0.00)AChristine was recently digging through old boxes in her storeroom, preparing to move to a new house. In one box, she came across a magazine of June 2, 1986. There“s a reason Christine had saved the magazine for 20 years. In its pages, she was one of more than a dozen women repo
15、rted in an article discussing the “cruel reality“ of their poor marriage prospects (前景). At the time Christine was living in Chicago and greatly annoyed by the fact that her social life didn“t seem to be progressing toward a trip down the aisle . “I had a lot of girlfriends in the same boat,“ she sa
16、ys. But a funny thing happened. At age 40, she married; a few weeks ago she and her husband celebrated their 10th anniversary (周年纪念日). Today she“s the happy morn of two children from her husband“s first marriage. Looking back on her single days, she remembers her unhappiness. “I had the same feeling
17、 that many women have, which is that you“re not considered a whole person unless you“re married with children,“ she says. “But as I reached my 40s, I realized that was totally wrong . I could still have a very fulfilling life.“ It was only after she“d come to peace with the fact that she might never
18、 marry that she met her future husband while shopping in a supermarket. To mark the 20th anniversary of this story, reporters sought out as many of the women in the story as they could find. Out of 14 single women in the article, 11 were found. Among them, eight ended up marrying, and three remain s
19、ingle. Several had children. None divorced. For her part, Christine isn“t surprised. “I“ve watched a lot of people, married while young, get divorced,“ she says. “I think that if you do wait until Mr. Right comes along, you have a much better chance.“（分数：5.00）(1).How old was Christine 20 years ago?（

24、n unusual art form whose time has come again, “said David Amibrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival(节)in Wales. “Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with
25、the distance of time. “ he said early this month. Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentivel
26、y. Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales. “It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.“ Ambrose s

30、ild, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings don“t have as many temper tantrums. They also learn to control themselves using words. A two-year-old child reaches toward the oven door, then stops, tells herself, “Hot, hot,“ and turns away. Researchers call
31、 this “self-directed speech“. It“s one of the ways children learn to do what“s right and not to do what“s wrong. With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the world. Early on, all four-legged animals are dogs or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras
32、. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of idea. By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in school. It even tells us how well she“ll be able to understand what she reads, and to express her ideas in writing later on. So, ho
33、w do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when you“re feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when you“re doing the dishes or walking down the street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even before your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume
34、that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Researchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of words he hears, and especially the number of questions he is invited to answer. Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons f
35、or reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interesting words. Here“s an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud every day: You begin to hear “book words“ in your child“s speech. You“re walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. “Look,
36、“ you say, “a pretty flower.“ “Actually,“ your child corrects, “it“s beautiful.“ Actually? Beautiful? That“s when you know you“ve truly given your child a love of words.（分数：4.00）(1).A two-year-old child uses the word “Hot, hot“(line 4, para.1) _.（分数：1.00）A.to prevent herself from being hurtB.to lear
37、n a new wordC.to warn her parents of the dangerD.to show her large collection of words(2).In the author“s opinion, who should do a lot of listening?（分数：1.00）A.The book writers.B.The researchers.C.The parents.D.The child.(3).What is the main subject discussed in the text?（分数：1.00）A.Value of reading a
38、loud to children.B.Power of words in children“s growth.C.Mind development of young children.D.Ways to develop a love of reading in children.(4).When the child use “beautiful“ to respond to the mother, it shows that _.（分数：1.00）A.the child loves certain words better than othersB.the word “beautiful“ i
39、s used more by childrenC.reading has improved the child“s languageD.the child has the ability to correct parentsDMost of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn“t agree more. But money comes into play in those r
40、elationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn“t the key to lifethis is!“ At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. That“s when things get interesting, because I
41、 start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are “yes“, I ask them how they provide all of that for their famil
42、y. That“s when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there“s no chance of ever being truly happy. That“s why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words: “People
43、 first. Then money. Then things.“ How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they“re happy hasn“t changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we“re not much
44、happier on average. A paradox (悖论)? Far from it. My sense is that while we“re making more money, we aren“t making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of
45、you know, it“s really hard to increase your happiness when you“ve got a lot of money worries. Do you agree, or am I way off base ? I“d love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection.（分数：4.00）(1).Why do people often show the author their family photos?（分数：1.00）A.They hope to sho

But
49、 there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the “tank test“. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构)of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane
