14．Forgiveness
   To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．（56B
 Try the following steps：
   Calm yourself．（57）FYou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
   Don't wait for an apology． Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（58）GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
   Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．（59）D
 If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
   Don't forget to forgive yourself．（60）EBut it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it．
A．Why should you forgive？
B．How should you start to forgive？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from your offender's angle．
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

分析 文章介紹的是道歉的重要性．原諒他人是一種美德，但原諒他人不是一件容易的事情．文章給出了一些怎樣原諒他人的方法．可通過以下幾個步驟：使自己冷靜下來；不要等待他人道歉；擺脫冒犯者對你的控制；從冒犯者的角度看問題以及原諒自己．最后說到，自我原諒是最大的挑戰(zhàn)．

解答 BFGDE
56．B承上啟下題．上句Try the following steps試試以下措施，根據(jù)這句可知，前面問的是"應(yīng)該怎樣開始原諒他人呢？"，B項符合語境，故選B．
57．F語境辨析題．根據(jù)Calm yourself…take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure可知首先要冷靜，深呼吸，或者想象一些令人愉快的事情．F項："讓憤怒逐漸消散，嘗試一個簡單的壓力管理技巧"符合語境，故選F．
58．G聯(lián)系上文題．根據(jù)上句Don't wait for an apology． Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．可知不要等著他人道歉，傷害你的人不會想著向你道歉，由此可知，本段講的是不能等著他人來給你道歉，G項："如果等他人來道歉，你可能會等相當(dāng)長的時間"符合語境，故選G．
59．D聯(lián)系下文題．根據(jù)后句If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．可知如果你理解惹怒你的人，你可能會意識到他是無意傷害你的．D項："試著站在對方的角度思考問題"符合語境，故選D．
60．E歸納總結(jié)題．根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題Don't forget to forgive yourself．要記得原諒你自己，E項："對一些人來說，自我原諒是最大的挑戰(zhàn)"符合語境，故選E．

點評 對于此類題型的解答，可以將整個文段首先瀏覽一遍，大概理解意思．答題過程中，根據(jù)所提供的答語或是后文進行作答，同時，做題過程中也可以使用排除法，將選項帶到文章中逐一的作答，答完后注意通讀檢查是否符合邏輯，語義順暢．

So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key．The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London．You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike．
Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6，000bikes and 400docking stations in place by the end of the year．The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion （擁擠） in London and is expected to create up to 40，000extra cycle trips a day into the city centre．London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses"．
However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday．On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered．Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill"．Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles．
Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards．"

9．It was the Year from Hell─the dog died，my marriage of 24 years ended，and my house burned down．I had moved into a new rented house with my youngest son after my husband and I divorced．We'd been in the house just six weeks．I went to a dinner party one night，and as I drove home near，I saw smoke rising into the sky．I wondered whether it was my house．Then I turned the corner，and sure enough，it was my house．
My son and I stayed with a friend for a couple of nights．Then my friend Gail heard about the fire，called me up，and said，"Come and move into my house．I have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms─plenty of space for you and your son．"Gail had three kids at home，but there was still plenty of room for me and my son，Sutton．Little did I know that her offer of a temporary place to stay would turn into a living arrangement that lasted two and a half years．
We were two single mothers．Gail and I spent the next couple of years sorting out a lot of things together．After we moved in，I soon began to look for a permanent place to live in．Gail said，"Please don't leave．I've never had so much freedom!"Having me in the house meant someone to help take care of her kids，someone to share cooking and gardening，and someone to share day-to-day life．She loved having me there，and I loved being there．So we stayed．
It was an important chapter in my life．We both needed time to heal from our divorces．It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us．Gail's generosity was more than anyone could expect from a friend．I am eternally grateful to have a friend like Gail．I'm also grateful for the lessons I learned from the fire and the other losses that came so suddenly，so fast．Much to my surprise，I found gratitude among the ashes．I was tested serious trial by fire．But，like a phoenix，I rose from the ashes strong and whole．I would not be the person I am today if not for that Year from Hell．

7．Can you believe your eyes？A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age．
    Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception（觀察力） of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25．
The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time．
Next，both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here's where the trick lies in．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles-making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles-so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle．
When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren't fooled-they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy（準(zhǔn)確性） as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time．
As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual（視覺的） context．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick．
25．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluateC．
A．children's and adults'eye-sight             
B．children's and adults'brains
C．pe ople's ability to see accurately            
D．the influence of people's age
26．When asked to find the larger circle，A．
A．children at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with gray ones around
B．only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around
C．children at 6 got it wrong 79% of the time with no gray ones around
D．a(chǎn)dults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
27．According to the passage，we can know thatC．
A．a(chǎn) smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
B．a(chǎn)n orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C．a(chǎn) circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
D．a(chǎn) circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
28．Why are younger children not fooled？D．
A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults．
B．Because older people are influenced by their experience．
C．Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older．
D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together．

4．Do you remember the man who contributed a lot to the understanding of British and American English？Noah Webster，born on October 16，1758，is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language．He has been called the"Father of American Scholarship and Education"．His"Blue-Backed Speller"books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children．But how much do you know about him beyond that？
At the age of 16，Noah Webster began attending Yale College．Unfortunately，he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War，and，because of food shortages，many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury，Connecticut．Later，he served in the army．
Having graduated from Yale in 1778，Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree．He had to teach school in order to pay for his education．He set up many small schools that didn't survive，but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn，like most teachers did，he rewarded them．
He earned his law degree in 1781，but did not practice law until 1789．Once he started he found the law was not to his liking．Webster did not have much money．

Noah Webster died on May 28，1843and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery．
28．What's the main idea of Paragraph l？C
A．Webster's college education．

5．Where is that noise coming from？Not sure？Try living with your eyes closed for a few years．
Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see，a new study says，without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better．
Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by．Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away．
Twenty-three blind people participated in the study．All had been sightless for at least 20years．Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11．the rest went blind after age 16．The experiment also included 10people who could see but were wearing blind-folds．
In one task，volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3metres away．When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front，both groups performed equally well．
When sounds came from the side or the back，however，the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group．The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later．
Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people，say the researchers．Crossing the street，for instance，is much harder when you can't see the cars coming．
Still，the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did，especially those who went blind after age 16．In another experiment，the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11．These brain parts didn't show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people．The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of"late-onset"blind people．

51．The recent study shows blind people are better at tellingB．
A．The sources of loud sounds．
B．the locations of distant sounds
C．the direction of sharp sounds   
D．the distance of a sound in front of them
52．If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side，who would perform best？B
A．Those who are blind．
B．Those who have gone blind since childhood．
C．Those who went blind at age 16．
D．Those who are blindfolded．
53．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind．
B．All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless．
C．All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction．
D．The later people become blind，the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds．
54．What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds？D
A．This happens in almost all the testers．
B．This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16．
C．It remains nothing new to the scientists any more．
D．It remains a mystery why it is so．
