(53)C,as I made my first excursion outside the hospital,society had already assigned me a new status.Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital,I rolled through the shopping mall-a (54)C survivor,feeling like a war hero.Unfortunately,I had a rude (55)A as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me,yet no one dared to make eye contact.Their efforts to(56)D my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs.Mothers (57)B held their children closer as I passed.Elderly women patted me on the head saying,"God Bless You!"with (58)A in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened,a small girl came up to me.She stared with unembarrassed (59)A at the empty pants.Finding nothing there,she looked up at me with a puzzled look,she innocently asked,"Lady,where did your legs go?"

That incident made me think about how (61)A children and adults react to the unknown.To a child,an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a(62)B learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror.I began to realize that,I,too had been (63)B of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit,I now smile warmly,make eye contact,and speak in a confident manner.By using a (64)C approach,I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn't mean having a poor quality of life.

11.YOU CAN'T DO IT EVEN IF IT HURTS NOBODY
Who do you think breaks the law in our society?If you believe that only tough guys commit crimes,you may have to think again.Unlike in the movies,we can't divide the world into bad guys and model citizens. Real life is much more complex.In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer,crimes vary in degree.For example,smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people,but much less than threatening them with a gun.
In addition to breaking the law themselves,people tolerate various levels of crime.Why can we tolerate some crimes?It may be that,by seeing others do something,we accept it more easily.For instance,most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit.When people celebrate a sports championship,if they see someone breaking store windows,they might start breaking windows themselves or even steal from the store.So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate.
We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should.We become used to seeing blood on the news on television,or in full color in newspapers and magazines.Because we see thousands of dead people on TV,maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence.If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime,or even commit crimes themselves,it may simply be because of the human mind.Our minds may not care about specific laws.Instead,our minds may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives.Yet,when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous (不知名的)individuals,we might not be so responsible.While most people would not steal a wallet containing 50,they may not mind cheating on taxes,because cheating on taxes does not hurt anyone person.It hurts society,but"society"remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a neighbor or a friend's friend.
When we realize that many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking,we could think it is surprising that so many people have a criminal record.How could we improve the level of honesty in our society?Would strict laws help make our society better?Probably not.Honesty will have to come from social pressure:in the family,at school,on the job,each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable.And teaching respect should  become everyone's responsibility.

33.According to the author,"Real life is much more complex."probably meansB.
A.smoking in an elevator goes against laws in the real life
B.there is a wide range of people and crimes in the real life
C.there are much more crimes than diseases in the real life
D.some model citizens sometimes break laws in the real life
34.People tolerate violence and crime becauseA.
A.they hold mistaken beliefs about law-breaking
B.most unlawful acts are not harmful to the individual
C.they pay no attention to the truth behind the crimes
D.their behavior is the same as that of most other people
35.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?D
A.To explain why many people have criminal records.
B.To show people the importance of education.
C.To discuss whether laws are strict enough.
D.To remind people to behave with honesty.

6.The high-protein,low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the  colon,a small study indicates.
In the study,UK researchers found that a protein-heavy,low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk.The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases,but the findings raise that possibility.
Diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight."People should not be discouraged from losing weight,"Dr Flint said.However,he added,they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.
The findings are based on 17overweight men who followed three short-term diets:a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.
On average,the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets,they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitroso compounds(亞硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代謝物) that have been linked to cancer.And when they were on the high-protein,low-carb diet,they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.
Exactly what those changes might mean for a person's health is not clear,But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period.In general,experts recommend that adults get about 28grams of fiber per day-though it's not known whether that's enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.

71.What is the best title of the text?B
A.Plan a Healthy Diet
B.Take Care of Your Colon
C.How to Lose Weight
D.How to Protect against Cancer
72.The underlined word"colon"in Paragraph 1probably refers to"A".
A.a(chǎn)n organ     B.intelligence   C.a(chǎn) habit    D.behaviour
73.The study shows that high-protein,low-carb diets mayC.
A.a(chǎn)ffect your mood     B.lower cancer risks
C.harm your body       D.keep your figure

A.we shouldn't take the study seriously
B.weight problems are hard to solve
C.it is better to follow a low-carb diet

13.Temperature is measured by means of a thermometer (溫度計).One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact that most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises.There are one or two exceptions.There is,for instance,a kind of steel called invar (from"invariable") which does not change its dimensions as temperature changes; it is valuable for making pendulums (鐘擺),since,if the length of a pendulum changes,its time of vibration changes.It is also used for making very accurate measuring scales.In both cases,then,changes of atmospheric temperature have no effect if invar is used.
Another exception is that very odd liquid,water,which has many strange properties (特性).As water gets colder it contracts (收縮),which is ordinary behavior,until it reaches the temperature of 30℃.a(chǎn)bove freezing point.After that,as it gets colder,it expands.This is fortunate---for considering the freezing of a pond.As the water on top gets colder,it shrinks; and so,volume for volume,it becomes heavier and sinks.This goes on until all the pond is at 30℃,but after that,as the water becomes colder it expands.Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes,covering the pond with ice.If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point,the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end.This would not worry people who live in hot climates,but it would be very serious for those who live in cold climates,especially for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which live in the cold water beneath.

56.Invar is valuable for making pendulums becauseA.
A.it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature changes.
B.it will change its dimensions without the change of temperature.
C.its time of vibration doesn't change if its length changes.
D.its time of vibration does not change if its length changes.
57.As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30℃.it willc.
A.contract       B.shrink      C.expand     D.freeze
58.Which of the following statements is true,according to this passage?D
A.Only invar can be used to make a thermometer.
B.Only water can be used to make a thermometer.
C.Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer.
D.Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermometer.
59.The best title of this passage is most likely to beB.
A.Temperature Measurement     
B.Two Exceptions
C.Uses of Invar    
D.Properties of Water.

10.Some plants get so hungry they eat flies,and even small frogs.What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state.In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.
You've probably seen a Venus'flytrap--a small plant,which grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container.At the end of its stalks (莖) are leaves that act like traps (陷阱).Inside each trap is a lining of tiny hairs.When an insect lands on them,the traps suddenly shut.Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus'flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter.He states although you might have read some science-fiction stories,no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Barry says a plant is meat-eating,only if it does all four of the following:"attract,kill,digest,and absorb"some form of insects.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants--well,most of the time.
All green plants make sugar to produce food.What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves,which need insects for one reason:nitrogen (氮).Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way.Why?
Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil.Meat-eating plants can't.They live in places where nutrients are hard to get from the soil because of its acidity.So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals.In fact,nutrient-rich soft is poisonous to meat-eating plants.Never fertilize (施肥) them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects.They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.
64.According to the passage,a Venus'flytrapC.
A.is a small plant which grows in a container
B.is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily
C.can trap and feed on some form of insects
D.can only grow 6-8 inches tall
65.From the passage,we can infer thatC.
A.meat-eating plants are found nowhere else except Antarctica
B.a(chǎn)ll green plants get nitrogen from the soil
C.meat-eating plants endanger humans in science-fiction stories
D.the nutrient-poor soil is beneficial to meat-eating plants
66.Meat-eating plants grow very slowly,B.
A.so you'd better fertilize them
B.probably because the supply of nitrogen is cut off
C.simply because they can't absorb nitrogen from the soil
D.a(chǎn)nd then they will die slowly
67.Which of the following is true?C
A.Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants.
B.It's hard to get nutrients in the soil when acidity is high.
C.The Venus'flytrap eats flies to get nutrient from them.
D.Green plants make sugar at night.

11.It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests.In fact,sometimes a little stress is a good thing.Here are some tips:
(36)C
Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest.In a scientific study,people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
Read the test through first.
Once you have the test paper in front of you,read over the entire test,checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete.This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions.(37)E
Focus on addressing each question individually.
As you take the test,if you don't know an answer,don't obsess(纏住) over it.(38)A Come back to it after you've answered other questions.
Relax.
(39)F Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test,but you can wiggle(搖擺)your fingers and toes,take four or five deep breaths,or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places.
Finished already?
Although most teachers will let you hand a test in early,it's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work.(40)G_On the other hand,if you have 5minutes until the bell rings and you're still writing,wind up whatever you're working on without panicking.

A.Instead,skip over the question.
B.Listen closely to any instructions.
C.Get enough sleep the night before the test.
D.But some can get serious test-taking terror.
E.If something seems unclear before you start,don't panic:ask.
F.If you're so nervous that you blank out,you might need a mini-break.
G.You can also add details that you may not have thought you'd have time for.
