A true apology is more than just acknowledge (承认) of a mistake. It’s recognition that something you’ve said or 36 has damaged a relationship, and that you 37 enough about that relationship to want it 38 .
It’s never 39 to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being humans, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how 40 you’re judged roughly (草率), said 41 things, and pushed yourself 42 at the expense (在使某人受损的情况下) of a friend. Some deep thought in us knows that when 43 a small mistake has been made, your 44 will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is 45 .
I remember a doctor friend, 46 me about a man who came to him with 47 illnesses: headache, insomnia (失眠), stomachache and so on. No physical 48 could be found. Finally the doctor said to the man, “ 49 you tell me what’s on your conscience (良心), I can’t help you.”
After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he 50 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was 51 . His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an 52 and enclosing (附寄) a 53 . In the post office, the man dropped the letter into the mailbox. As the letter disappeared, the man 54 into tears: “Thank you, doctor,” he said, “I think I’m all right now.” And he 55 .

A
A proud father has named his son after a computer software term.
Jon Blake Cusack, from Mocjogam,, told the local newspapers the US traditional way of adding “Junior” or “II” after a boy’s name was too common.
So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade.
Mr. Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea.
Mrs. Cusack said she asked several friends whether they can accept this name or not.
All the men, she said, felt the name was “cool”. However, her women friends did not think so. “I think the women end up like it,” she said.
Mr. Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called “The Legend of 1900”, in which an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth.
“I thought that if they can do it, why can’t we he said.
After little Jon version 2.0 was born, Mr. Cusack even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends designed to look as though he and his wife had created a new software.
“I wrote things like there are a lot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie,” he said. And he is already planning for his son’s future,” If he has a child, he could name it 3.0,” he said.
56.From the passage we know that “Jon Blake Cusack 2.0” __________.
A.shows the traditional way of America baby naming
B.is also the name of a computer
C.has the same meaning as “Jon Blake Cusack Junior”
D.tells something about the hope the father places on his baby
57.What do the names of “1900” and “Jon Version 2.0” have in common
A.They are both connected with computer.
B.They are both untraditional.
C.They both tell about the births.
D.They are to be equally popular.
58.Which of the following is true according to the passage
A.Mrs. Cusack didn’t agree to name her son after a computer software term at the very beginning.
B.All Mrs. Cusack’s friends support their idea.
C.When Mr. Cusack had a second child, he would name it “Jon Version 3.0”.
D.The name “1900” is also a computer software term.
59.What does Mr. Cusack’s “Version 1.0” refer to in the last paragraph
A.A computer software.
B.Mr. Cusack.
C.Mr. Cusack and his wife.
D.Mr.Cusack’ grandson.

Beware(注意,担心) of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “ I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right Maybe, or maybe not. We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser.
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately left out important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic (策略). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, her state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
60.Which statement is true according to the article
A.Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
B.You can’t trust gamblers.
C.All governors help their states.
D.The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
61.The underlined word “deceive” means _____.
A.mistake B.ignore C.fool D.repair
62.The author clearly wants people to _____.
A.think carefully about what they read and heard
B.wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
C.never trust anyone
D.vote for female candidates
63.The best title for this passage would be_____.
A.Lies Are Lies B.Everyone Lies
C.Lying with the Truth D.Nose Pimples
C

Scientists have discovered an unusual tip for parents who want their kids to grow up to be musical geniuses (天才) ---teach them Chinese Putonghua.
Experts at the University of California in San Diego have found that children who learn Chinese Putonghua as babies are far more likely to have perfect pitch. That’s the ability to name or sing a musical note at will. They’re better than those raised to speak English. Perfect pitch, though common among the great composers, is extremely rare in Europe and the US. Just one in 10,000 there is thought to have the skill.
Diana Deutsch, who led the research, believes the explanation lies in the different use of tones in the two languages. The meaning of English words does not change with tone; the same is not true for Chinese Putonghua.
Deutsch discovered the connection when she tested the first year students from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. All of them spoke Chinese Putonghua. She also tested students at the Eastman School of Music in New York, who all spoke English.
Each of the students was asked to name 36 notes played at random(随机) from a keyboard. The researchers found that of the students who began music lessons between the ages of four and five, 14% of Americans had perfect pitch. That was compared with 60% of Chinese. When children began music lessons later in life, then chances of having perfect pitch dropped dramatically.
“The findings support the idea that babies can acquire perfect pitch as part of learning a language, which can later generalize to musical tones,” said Deutsch.
But while learning Chinese Putonghua appears to give children a better chance of developing perfect pitch, some parents might appreciate a simpler method.
A good alternative, Deutsch said, might be to let babies play with keyboards with different notes labeled or colored. As with language, learning perfect pitch is likely to be easier around the ages of 6 to 18 months.
The British composer Michael Berkeley said, “If you are using a language where pitch is so much more important, your whole perception(感觉) of pitch would be accurate. The musicality of a language does make it easier to understand pitch.”
67.Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage
A.Chinese Putonghua, a language to be learned by musicians.
B.Musical Chinese Putonghua.
C.Chinese music and US music.
D.Percentage of pitch.
68.What does the word “pitch” in the passage most probably mean
A.A set of keys on the keyboard.
B. A group of high notes in music.
C.A set of roles of music.
D.The ability to play or sing a note correctly.
69. The reason why Chinese children acquire better pitch is that______.
A.they speak a language more related to music
B.their parents aim higher for their music talent
C.they began music lessons earlier
D.Chinese is a language more difficult to learn than English
70.Which of the following are effective ways to give children better chances of developing perfect pitch
(a) Teach them Chinese Putonghua.
(b) Have them play with keyboards with different notes labeled or colored.
(c) Let them learn English early.
(d) Let them start music lessons early.
(e) Let them notice the different use of tones in English.
A.(a), (b), (d) B.(a), (c), (d) C.(b), (d), (e) D.(b), (c), (e)

In school and out, many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia(百科全书) into words of their own. The students who is writing a theme, the businessman who is writing a report, and the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman’s club often need the kind of information they can find in an encyclopedia. But no one wants what he writes to read as if it were coped from an encyclopedia. What you write should read as if it came from you.
Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words, it is unwise to copy information from an encyclopedia word for word. Instead, write brief notes to remind yourself of the facts you wish to express. Later, with the encyclopedia closed, you can expand those notes into sentences and paragraphs of your own.
The advantage of note-taking over coping is that it forces you to think for yourself at least twice—first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes. It is easy to copy a paragraph without being sure of what it means. But to make a note expressing the meaning of a paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have comprehended that paragraph.
Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read. It is much easier to remember what you have said in a note than what someone else has said in a book. Even if an author’s vocabulary is easily understandable, it isn’t the vocabulary you naturally think with. Putting his ideas into your vocabulary makes those ideas yours, and yours are the ideas you best remember.
Some people write notes in complete sentences. Others write notes that are topical phrases. For example, a sentence note on the preceding(前面的) paragraph might be, “Notes help you remember.” A topical note for the same paragraph might be “Notes as memory aids.” Both of these are four-word notes, and therefore either has a time-saving advantage at the moment of note-taking.
At the moment of note-reading, however, the sentence note tends to limit your thinking to the thought expressed by it. The topical note, on the other hand, tends to raise a question in your mind—“In what ways are notes an aid to memory ” Such thinking may lead you beyond the thinking of the author who first caused you to write the note.
Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use, often for some future writing that you will do. Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help you remember information. The thinking writer is the one who creates something new, something that no one can point to and say, “Oh, I’ve seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia.”
71.which of the following statements is NOT true
A.The first paragraph tells us it is necessary for people to turn the material found in an encyclopedia into their words.
B.The businessman writing a report needs some information in an encyclopedia.
C.The housewife who is preparing a talk often needs some information in an encyclopedia.
D.First you should copy information from an encyclopedia word, and then put it into words of your own.
72.It is wise to ______.
A.write brief notes to remind yourself of the facts you wish to express
B.force yourself to think for yourself when you copy information from an encyclopedia word for word
C.copy a paragraph without being sure of what it means
D.remember what you have copied from an encyclopedia
73.It is much easier to remember______.
A.the information found in an encyclopedia
B.what someone else has said in a book
C.your own ideas
D.the writer’s easily understandable vocabulary
74.Paragraph 5 mainly tells us______.
A.how to take notes
B.a topical note has a time-saving advantage
C.a sentence note has a time-saving advantage
D.one example of rewriting words
75.What’s the best way of taking notes
A.The one that saves not only the reader’s time but also his strength.
B.The one that is helpful for the reader to create something new.
C.The one that can’t spare the reader’s time.
D.The one that can be read easily by everyone else.

With the development of science, the Internet comes into our everyday life. It helps us in many ways. Shopping is a good example. We can buy the things we want on the Internet without leaving our house. We don’t need to hunt for them shop by shop. Shopping on the Internet can save us a lot of time. What’s more, the goods may be even cheaper than those in shops. All we have to do is to search for the goods we want and click, and then just wait.
Though it is convenient and fast to shop on the Internet, there is still something for us to worry about. Quality is a big problem. We can’t see the real goods on the Internet. After all, we can’t choose them ourselves. Besides, lots of advertisements on the Internet are not reliable. So sometimes we are easily cheated. Therefore we should be careful while we’re enjoying the convenience of high technology.
