It’s Museum Day. Here’s how to get free tickets and have some fun
Museum Day is here for one day and one day only — so you’ll need to hurry if you want to take advantage of the chance to get free Saturday admission to one of the hundreds of participating museums
The yearly event is hosted by Smithsonian Magazine and involves museums and cultural institutions coming together to offer free admission for patrons(顾客) who would otherwise have to pay for entry.

After that, you can download your ticket and head out for some fun.
A lot of museums are still feeling financial stress from the pandemic
The event is happening as museums are still struggling from the hits they took during the first few years of the pandemic.
The American Alliance of Museums estimated it will take years for museums to fully recover. In February, the group released survey results that detailed those financial losses.
AAM President and CEO Laura Lott noted that federal relief helped remove the threat of closure that many institutions were facing, but 2022 proved to be another painful year.
But there’s hope that a free day at the museums might spark subsequent(随后的) visits.

My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything. When he faced a problem, he always chose to complain about it instead of finding a way to solve it. That was not right. Ted was healthy and had received a good education. He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day drifting from one job to another. One day, I read about a farmer called Chris and told Ted about the farmer.
Chris works hard, and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.
How, you may ask, is this possible Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can't do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he could not do.
Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts, his positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.

Does stress cause gray hairs Many people believe that stress can cause your hair to lose its color. In fact, it is an old wife's tale that being upset all the time can result in hair graying early. Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wife's tale could be true.
As one ages, the hairs on the head also age. In fact, just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear after a while. Hairs on the head grow and finally die. They are replaced, but in the process something else happens when old hairs are replaced by new hairs. The color of pigment is also added to them. However, as one ages, this pigment becomes less and less available. At first, hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be gray in color. In time, they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.
Many things are known to cause graying, and genetics is a very powerful factor. If one of your parents turns gray at an early age, there is a good chance that you will too. Some people begin the graying process in high school, while others may be over the age of forty.
If you are whites, you will probably notice graying in your mid-thirties. Blacks may be well into their forties. This is not always true, but it is common practice.
Constant worry and stress can have many bad effects on the human body. It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss. It would make sense that if stress can cause these problems, perhaps it also may lead to graying. However, there is no sound evidence to support this. On the other hand, many doctors believe that there may be a link between graying and constant state of anxiety or stress.
As one ages, his hairs will become white because _________.
A. stress can cause the hair to lose its color
B. his hair will die and be replaced by new hair
C. the color will be added to the new hair
D. his hair will lose all of the pigment
29. Which of the following is TRUE about hair graying according to the passage
A. Genetics is the only known cause of hair graying.
B. Stress is the main cause of hair graying for high school students.
C. Generally speaking, whites' hairs become gray earlier than blacks.
D. Hair graying actually has nothing to do with your anxiety or stress.
30. There is sound evidence to support that __________.
A. worry and stress lead to hair graying
B. worry and stress do harm to your body
C. the old wife's tale is true
D. graying is not linked with stress at all
31. What's the main purpose of the passage
A. To tell us an old wife's tale.
B. To tell us stress is harmful to our bodies.
C. To tell us stress may not cause gray hairs.
D. To tell us genetics is a powerful factor.
D
If you have ever got unhappy at your petrol bill and dreamed of a car that runs on fresh air, your wishes are about to be answered.
French car giant PSA Peugeot Citroen believes it can put an air-powered car on the road by 2016. Its scientists say it will knock 45 per cent of fuel bills for an average driver. And when driving in towns and cities costs could be reduced by as much as 80 per cent because the car will be running on air for four-fifths of the time.
Air power would be used for city use, running below 43 miles an hour and available for 60 to 80 per cent of the time in city driving. By 2020, the car could be achieving an average of 117 miles a gallon, the company predicts.
For more than two years, 100 top scientists and engineers have been working on the air-powered car in top-secret conditions at Peugeot’s research and development center at Velizy, just south of Paris.
The engine system will be able to be fixed on any normal family car without changing its shape or size or reducing the boot size, provided the spare wheel is not stored there. From the outside, an air-powered car will look similar to an ordinary car. A spokesman said, “we are not talking about strange machines. These are going to be in everyday cars.”
The company said that as well as being more innocuous and cheaper to run，the air system created no extra dangers in an accident.
Drivers never run the risk of running out of compressed air late at night on a country road because the car will be fitted with an artificial brain.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. A car company.
B. An air-powered car.
C. The speed of a new car.
D. The way to save petrol.
33. If the new car is driven in cities,_________.
A. most of the fuel cost will be saved
B. about half of the fuel cost will be saved
C. it can be driven completely on the fresh air
D. the faster the speed is, the more money will be saved
34. When a normal family car is equipped with the new engine system,_________.
A. its shape will be changed
B. its size will become larger
C. its boot size will become smaller
D. the spare wheel won't be in the boot
35. The underlined word“innocuous”in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. harmful B. green C. helpless D. fast

Every year I’d read over 2,000 college applications from students all over the world. It is quite 41 to choose whom to admit. 42 , in the chaos of SAT scores and recommendations, one 43 is always irresistible in a candidate: kindness.
The most surprising 44 of kindness I’ve ever 45 came from a student who had excellent scores and a supportive recommendation from his college counselor (顾问).

Letters of recommendation are typically written by people like former presidents, celebrities, and Olympic athletes.
The security guard wrote that he supported this student’s admission because of his 48 . This young man was the only person in the school who knew the names of every member of the guard staff. He turned off lights in empty rooms, consistently 49 the hallway monitor each morning and tidied up the classroom after his peers left school 50 nobody was watching. This student, the security guard wrote, had a(n) 51 respect for every person at the school, regardless of position, popularity or power.
It gave us a 52 onto a student’s life in the moments when nothing “counted”. That student was admitted by unanimous (一致的) vote of the admissions committee.
Next year there might be a flood of security guard recommendations 53 this essay. But if it means students will start paying as much 54 to the people who clean their classrooms as they do to their principals and teachers, I’m happy to help start that 55 .

Mo was waiting outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had two exams that day. Physics was first and she hated physics, it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front of the line, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. She didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything!
“Hi, Mo, it’s your favourite exam today!” said Nima as she arrived. Terry looked back again. “What’s wrong with her ” said Nima. “I thought you were friends.” “Yes, so did I,” said Mo. “But she looks absent-minded and acts strangely these days. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts!” said Mo angrily while going into the exam room.
Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades She felt really angry at Terry and thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. “Stop writing and put your pens down” said Mr Reed as he started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
The next exam was history. That was Mo’s favourite subject but she didn’t feel good. “It wasn’t fair!” she thought. “Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time. And I thought we were friends!” Just then, Mr Reed walked past her table. “Mr Reed...”
Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam, but Terry didn’t take her phone out. Mo was feeling bad again. Why did she tell Mr Reed But it was too late now. He wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry had her phone in the exam. She was on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table. Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr Reed.

Dear Jack,

First, Mr Smith will give the lecture. Then, the students can ask him questions as they like. This lecture will develop our interest in Chinese characters and draw our attention to learning Chinese.
I would be grateful if you can come and share with us how to learn Chinese characters. Looking forward to your coming.

第二节
Para 1:
Terry was looking at her phone and didn’t hear him as he walked silently up to her table. Though feeling uneasy and restless, she looked at Mr. Reed and nodded. With her eyes glued to the phone, it wasn't until the teacher patted on her back that Terry noticed Mr. Reed. Immediately, Terry was asked to leave. Terry rushed out of the class, crying all the way. Instead of feeling relaxed, Mo had ants in her pants. She felt guilty for telling Mr. Reed about it, which had resulted in Terry's not finishing her exam.
Para 2:
Mo was leaving school when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. It was Terry who had just come out of the teacher's office. Feeling embarrassed, Mo wanted to run away. Nevertheless, Terry stopped her and said, "Mo, I'm sorry I haven't kept my promise to help you review, but my father has been badly ill for two weeks. Today he had a significant operation. I was so worried about him that I kept on reading the texts on the phone sent by my mother to get the latest news about him, so Mr. Reed forgave me. Can you forgive me " "Of course! Let's go to the hospital to see your father." Mo couldn't wait to reply.
解析： 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mo和Terry是好朋友,在参加一次考试时,两个人之间发生了误会的故事。Mo的物理不好,本来好友Terry答应帮助她,可两个星期Terry都不和她说话,不接她的电话,也不回她的短信。这让Mo非常难受。考试开始了, Mo发现Terry在看手机,误以为原来成绩一直很好的Terry是通过作弊得到的高分。

27. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的Such a man chooses to stay positive. Why don't we 可知,作者写本文的目的是建议我们要保持积极的态度，故答案选B。①误解分析：D项有一定干扰性，本文目的是激励我们保持积极的态度，而不是讲述积极态度的力量。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，随着一个人年龄的增长，头发的色素越来越少，最后他们将失去他们所有的色素而变成白色的。故答案为 D。
29. C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，如果你是白种人可能到了 35岁左右头发会开始发白，黑人可能到四十岁的时候头发才开始发白。故答案为C。A项与第三段第一句话不相符；B项没有依据；D项与最后一段内容不一致。
30. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，持续的担心和紧张会对人体有许多不利的影响。压力大的时候会使你脱发。故答案为B。D项“头发变白与压力一点关系都没有”与最后一段中的最后一句话不一致。
31. C 推理判断题。根据文章大意可知，多数人认为压力会导致头发变白，但事实上并没有可靠的科学证据来支持这一说法。本文的目的是告诉读者这一观点是没有科学依据的，也就是说有可能是不对的。故答案为 C。
32. B 主旨大意题。首段点明文章的主旨：靠新鲜空气开动的汽车就要发明出来了，后面的段落是对这一话题的详细说明。故答案为B。●误解分析：其他三个选项都是文章内容的一个方面，但不是话题中心。
33. A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，在城镇里行驶时，由于该汽车有五分之四的时间是以空气为动力的，因此油费可削减80%之多。故答案为 A。B、C项与第二段内容不相符；D项与第三段第一句话内容不相符。
34. D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，该发动机系统可装在任何普通的家用车中，无需改变汽车的外形或大小，行李厢空间也不减少，只是备胎无法放置在行李厢中了。故答案为 D。
35. B 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，除了更加绿色环保和节油，该空气动力系统在事故中没有额外的危险。故答案为 B。此题可用代入法，只有B项符合语境。
36.A 根据空后一句"Don't make a promise that you can't keep."可知，不要轻许诺言,许下了就要信守。 故本段讲述要遵守诺言，故A项适合做本段小标题。promise是关键词。
37.F根据本段小标题Be dependable．可知，本段讲述的是要做朋友可依靠的人，空前一句"你的朋友需要你的支持，尤其在困境中"也说明空处涉及要做让他人可以依靠的好朋友，故F项"人们很难去依赖一个不能一直用值得依赖的方式行事的人"符合语境。dependable 与F项中的rely on呼应。
38.C根据本段小标题Apologize when you've made a mistake．可知，犯错要敢于道歉，再由空后一句可知，虽然朋友并不乐意看到你犯错误，但如果你勇于承认错误的话他们会很高兴，故C项"如果你知道自己错了，就要道歉"符合语境。mistake是关键词。
39.D根据本段小标题Be honest．和空前的"you have to be honest about your feelings"可知，要忠实于自己的感受，要开诚布公，故D项"如果朋友伤害了你，要敢于跟朋友谈论此事"符合语境。
40.E 根据本段小标题Be loyal．可知要对朋友忠诚。空后一句可知你期望你的朋友为你怎么做，你就怎么去做，it指代空处的一件事，故E项"如果你的朋友告诉了你一个秘密，要保密不要跟任何其他人说起"，符合语境。

It’s Museum Day. Here’s how to get free tickets and have some fun
Museum Day is here for one day and one day only — so you’ll need to hurry if you want to take advantage of the chance to get free Saturday admission to one of the hundreds of participating museums
The yearly event is hosted by Smithsonian Magazine and involves museums and cultural institutions coming together to offer free admission for patrons(顾客) who would otherwise have to pay for entry.

The American Alliance of Museums estimated it will take years for museums to fully recover. In February, the group released survey results that detailed those financial losses.

But there’s hope that a free day at the museums might spark subsequent(随后的) visits.

My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything. When he faced a problem, he always chose to complain about it instead of finding a way to solve it. That was not right. Ted was healthy and had received a good education. He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day drifting from one job to another. One day, I read about a farmer called Chris and told Ted about the farmer.
Chris works hard, and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.
How, you may ask, is this possible Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can't do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he could not do.
Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts, his positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.

Does stress cause gray hairs Many people believe that stress can cause your hair to lose its color. In fact, it is an old wife's tale that being upset all the time can result in hair graying early. Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wife's tale could be true.
As one ages, the hairs on the head also age. In fact, just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear after a while. Hairs on the head grow and finally die. They are replaced, but in the process something else happens when old hairs are replaced by new hairs. The color of pigment is also added to them. However, as one ages, this pigment becomes less and less available. At first, hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be gray in color. In time, they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.
Many things are known to cause graying, and genetics is a very powerful factor. If one of your parents turns gray at an early age, there is a good chance that you will too. Some people begin the graying process in high school, while others may be over the age of forty.
If you are whites, you will probably notice graying in your mid-thirties. Blacks may be well into their forties. This is not always true, but it is common practice.
Constant worry and stress can have many bad effects on the human body. It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss. It would make sense that if stress can cause these problems, perhaps it also may lead to graying. However, there is no sound evidence to support this. On the other hand, many doctors believe that there may be a link between graying and constant state of anxiety or stress.
As one ages, his hairs will become white because _________.
A. stress can cause the hair to lose its color
B. his hair will die and be replaced by new hair
C. the color will be added to the new hair
D. his hair will lose all of the pigment
29. Which of the following is TRUE about hair graying according to the passage
A. Genetics is the only known cause of hair graying.
B. Stress is the main cause of hair graying for high school students.
C. Generally speaking, whites' hairs become gray earlier than blacks.
D. Hair graying actually has nothing to do with your anxiety or stress.
30. There is sound evidence to support that __________.
A. worry and stress lead to hair graying
B. worry and stress do harm to your body
C. the old wife's tale is true
D. graying is not linked with stress at all
31. What's the main purpose of the passage
A. To tell us an old wife's tale.
B. To tell us stress is harmful to our bodies.
C. To tell us stress may not cause gray hairs.
D. To tell us genetics is a powerful factor.
D
If you have ever got unhappy at your petrol bill and dreamed of a car that runs on fresh air, your wishes are about to be answered.
French car giant PSA Peugeot Citroen believes it can put an air-powered car on the road by 2016. Its scientists say it will knock 45 per cent of fuel bills for an average driver. And when driving in towns and cities costs could be reduced by as much as 80 per cent because the car will be running on air for four-fifths of the time.
Air power would be used for city use, running below 43 miles an hour and available for 60 to 80 per cent of the time in city driving. By 2020, the car could be achieving an average of 117 miles a gallon, the company predicts.
For more than two years, 100 top scientists and engineers have been working on the air-powered car in top-secret conditions at Peugeot’s research and development center at Velizy, just south of Paris.
The engine system will be able to be fixed on any normal family car without changing its shape or size or reducing the boot size, provided the spare wheel is not stored there. From the outside, an air-powered car will look similar to an ordinary car. A spokesman said, “we are not talking about strange machines. These are going to be in everyday cars.”
The company said that as well as being more innocuous and cheaper to run，the air system created no extra dangers in an accident.
Drivers never run the risk of running out of compressed air late at night on a country road because the car will be fitted with an artificial brain.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. A car company.
B. An air-powered car.
C. The speed of a new car.
D. The way to save petrol.
33. If the new car is driven in cities,_________.
A. most of the fuel cost will be saved
B. about half of the fuel cost will be saved
C. it can be driven completely on the fresh air
D. the faster the speed is, the more money will be saved
34. When a normal family car is equipped with the new engine system,_________.
A. its shape will be changed
B. its size will become larger
C. its boot size will become smaller
D. the spare wheel won't be in the boot
35. The underlined word“innocuous”in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. harmful B. green C. helpless D. fast

Every year I’d read over 2,000 college applications from students all over the world. It is quite 41 to choose whom to admit. 42 , in the chaos of SAT scores and recommendations, one 43 is always irresistible in a candidate: kindness.
The most surprising 44 of kindness I’ve ever 45 came from a student who had excellent scores and a supportive recommendation from his college counselor (顾问). Even with these qualifications, he might not have 46 . But one letter of recommendation caught my eye. It was from a school security 47 . Letters of recommendation are typically written by people like former presidents, celebrities, and Olympic athletes.
The security guard wrote that he supported this student’s admission because of his 48 . This young man was the only person in the school who knew the names of every member of the guard staff. He turned off lights in empty rooms, consistently 49 the hallway monitor each morning and tidied up the classroom after his peers left school 50 nobody was watching. This student, the security guard wrote, had a(n) 51 respect for every person at the school, regardless of position, popularity or power.
It gave us a 52 onto a student’s life in the moments when nothing “counted”. That student was admitted by unanimous (一致的) vote of the admissions committee.
Next year there might be a flood of security guard recommendations 53 this essay. But if it means students will start paying as much 54 to the people who clean their classrooms as they do to their principals and teachers, I’m happy to help start that 55 .

Mo was waiting outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had two exams that day. Physics was first and she hated physics, it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front of the line, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. She didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything!
“Hi, Mo, it’s your favourite exam today!” said Nima as she arrived. Terry looked back again. “What’s wrong with her ” said Nima. “I thought you were friends.” “Yes, so did I,” said Mo. “But she looks absent-minded and acts strangely these days. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts!” said Mo angrily while going into the exam room.
Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades She felt really angry at Terry and thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. “Stop writing and put your pens down” said Mr Reed as he started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
The next exam was history. That was Mo’s favourite subject but she didn’t feel good. “It wasn’t fair!” she thought. “Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time. And I thought we were friends!” Just then, Mr Reed walked past her table. “Mr Reed...”
Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam, but Terry didn’t take her phone out. Mo was feeling bad again. Why did she tell Mr Reed But it was too late now. He wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry had her phone in the exam. She was on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table. Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr Reed.

第二节
Para 1:
Terry was looking at her phone and didn’t hear him as he walked silently up to her table. Though feeling uneasy and restless, she looked at Mr. Reed and nodded. With her eyes glued to the phone, it wasn't until the teacher patted on her back that Terry noticed Mr. Reed. Immediately, Terry was asked to leave. Terry rushed out of the class, crying all the way. Instead of feeling relaxed, Mo had ants in her pants. She felt guilty for telling Mr. Reed about it, which had resulted in Terry's not finishing her exam.
Para 2:
Mo was leaving school when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. It was Terry who had just come out of the teacher's office. Feeling embarrassed, Mo wanted to run away. Nevertheless, Terry stopped her and said, "Mo, I'm sorry I haven't kept my promise to help you review, but my father has been badly ill for two weeks. Today he had a significant operation. I was so worried about him that I kept on reading the texts on the phone sent by my mother to get the latest news about him, so Mr. Reed forgave me. Can you forgive me " "Of course! Let's go to the hospital to see your father." Mo couldn't wait to reply.
解析： 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mo和Terry是好朋友,在参加一次考试时,两个人之间发生了误会的故事。Mo的物理不好,本来好友Terry答应帮助她,可两个星期Terry都不和她说话,不接她的电话,也不回她的短信。这让Mo非常难受。考试开始了, Mo发现Terry在看手机,误以为原来成绩一直很好的Terry是通过作弊得到的高分。
1段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她正在思考最后一个问题时,发现Terry把手机放在桌子下面了。"可知,第一段可描写Terry考试看手机被老师发现的事情,而Terry离开后,Mo反而坐立不安,感到内疚。
②由第二段首句内容Mo朝校门走去,这时她听到身后有脚步声。”可知,第二段可描写Terry和Mo再次相遇后的事情,Terry告诉了Mo自己开始看手机的原因是父亲生病了,两人重归于好。

21.细节理解题。根据“It’s Museum Day. Here’s how to get free tickets and have some fun(今天是博物馆日。这里是如何获得免费门票和一些乐趣)”这一部分第二段“The yearly event is hosted by Smithsonian Magazine and involves museums and cultural institutions coming together to offer free admission for patrons(顾客) who would otherwise have to pay for entry.(一年一度的活动由Smithsonian杂志主办，博物馆和文化机构联合起来为那些需要付费入场的观众提供免费门票)”可知，“博物馆日”每年一次。故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据“You just need an email address to get a ticket(你只需要一个电子邮件地址就能买到票)”这一部分中“You’ll be able to search to see which museums near you are participating, and from there you just have to put in your email address and name.(你可以搜索你附近的哪些博物馆正在参加，然后你只需要输入你的电子邮件地址和姓名)”可知，要得到免费的门票，需要输入电子邮件地址和姓名。故选C。
23.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“But there’s hope that a free day at the museums might spark subsequent(随后的) visits.(但人们希望，在博物馆免费参观一天，可能会吸引更多游客前来参观)”可知，举办“博物馆日”是希望能吸引更多的游客参观博物馆。故选D。
24. B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的 What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs可知, Chris的与众不同之处是他没有胳膊也没有腿，故答案选 B。
25. A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中Chris does not focus on what he can't do, but rather on what he can do 可知, Chris关注的是他能做的事情，而不是他不能做的事情，故答案选A。
26. D 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到 Ted整日抱怨，工作换了一个又一个,难以养活自己。再根据文章倒数第二段中的 Then luckily, I saw Ted's change 可知,在听了 Chris的故事之后, Ted 意识到了自己的问题，并且做出了改变，也就是说他停止抱怨，开始努力工作了，故答案选D。
27. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的Such a man chooses to stay positive. Why don't we 可知,作者写本文的目的是建议我们要保持积极的态度，故答案选B。①误解分析：D项有一定干扰性，本文目的是激励我们保持积极的态度，而不是讲述积极态度的力量。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，随着一个人年龄的增长，头发的色素越来越少，最后他们将失去他们所有的色素而变成白色的。故答案为 D。
29. C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，如果你是白种人可能到了 35岁左右头发会开始发白，黑人可能到四十岁的时候头发才开始发白。故答案为C。A项与第三段第一句话不相符；B项没有依据；D项与最后一段内容不一致。
30. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，持续的担心和紧张会对人体有许多不利的影响。压力大的时候会使你脱发。故答案为B。D项“头发变白与压力一点关系都没有”与最后一段中的最后一句话不一致。
31. C 推理判断题。根据文章大意可知，多数人认为压力会导致头发变白，但事实上并没有可靠的科学证据来支持这一说法。本文的目的是告诉读者这一观点是没有科学依据的，也就是说有可能是不对的。故答案为 C。
32. B 主旨大意题。首段点明文章的主旨：靠新鲜空气开动的汽车就要发明出来了，后面的段落是对这一话题的详细说明。故答案为B。●误解分析：其他三个选项都是文章内容的一个方面，但不是话题中心。
33. A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，在城镇里行驶时，由于该汽车有五分之四的时间是以空气为动力的，因此油费可削减80%之多。故答案为 A。B、C项与第二段内容不相符；D项与第三段第一句话内容不相符。
34. D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，该发动机系统可装在任何普通的家用车中，无需改变汽车的外形或大小，行李厢空间也不减少，只是备胎无法放置在行李厢中了。故答案为 D。
35. B 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，除了更加绿色环保和节油，该空气动力系统在事故中没有额外的危险。故答案为 B。此题可用代入法，只有B项符合语境。
36.A 根据空后一句"Don't make a promise that you can't keep."可知，不要轻许诺言,许下了就要信守。 故本段讲述要遵守诺言，故A项适合做本段小标题。promise是关键词。
37.F根据本段小标题Be dependable．可知，本段讲述的是要做朋友可依靠的人，空前一句"你的朋友需要你的支持，尤其在困境中"也说明空处涉及要做让他人可以依靠的好朋友，故F项"人们很难去依赖一个不能一直用值得依赖的方式行事的人"符合语境。dependable 与F项中的rely on呼应。
38.C根据本段小标题Apologize when you've made a mistake．可知，犯错要敢于道歉，再由空后一句可知，虽然朋友并不乐意看到你犯错误，但如果你勇于承认错误的话他们会很高兴，故C项"如果你知道自己错了，就要道歉"符合语境。mistake是关键词。
39.D根据本段小标题Be honest．和空前的"you have to be honest about your feelings"可知，要忠实于自己的感受，要开诚布公，故D项"如果朋友伤害了你，要敢于跟朋友谈论此事"符合语境。
40.E 根据本段小标题Be loyal．可知要对朋友忠诚。空后一句可知你期望你的朋友为你怎么做，你就怎么去做，it指代空处的一件事，故E项"如果你的朋友告诉了你一个秘密，要保密不要跟任何其他人说起"，符合语境。
41.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：要选择录取谁是相当困难的。A.decent体面的；B.difficult困难的；C.delicate脆弱的；D.desperate绝望的。根据上文"Every year I'd read over 2,000 college applications from students all over the world.（每年我都要阅读来自世界各地的2000多份大学申请）"可知，申请人很多，所以要选择录取谁是相当困难的。故选B。

So they’re sending a silver one of the same style instead. Hope that’s OK. This color looks not bad. Remember, don’t come to the shop at No. 33 North Street. We’re a hundred meters down the street at No. 87, opposite the supermarket. We only repair bikes at No.33. And please don’t come at lunchtime if possible, because we are very busy then. We’re open every day until 5:45 pm. And I’m here every morning from 8:30. By the say, would you like to know the bill in advance If you would like us to email a copy of your bill, please give us a call at 999-5783 during our working time. We look forward to seeing you soon in the City Bike Shop! Well, that’s all.
