9、esop, asking him why he wasted his time in such 37 games.Aesop responded by 38 a bow, loosening its string, and placing it on the ground. Then he said to the critical man, “Now, 39 the riddle(迷), if you can. Tell us what the unstrung bow means.”The man 40 at it for several minutes but had no idea ab

10、out what 41 Aesop was trying to make. Aesop 42 ,“If you keep a bow always bent, it will break 43 ; but if you let it go loose, it will be more 44 for use when you want it.”So it is with us. Our minds and bodies are like the 45 .When often under the 46 of everyday life, we can finally 47 .We need to

11、loosen up; we need time to 48 the pressure off and relax.Former baseball pitcher(投球手) Dutch Leonard might have put it a little differently.

12、ow to hit a pitcher who continually throws the same kind of pitch. But its 51 to hit a pitcher who changes the pace of pitching. That 52 of pace gives a pitcher an advantage over the other pitchers.A change of pace also gives us a(n) 53 in life. Taking time to watch the clouds, enjoy a breeze, take

17、moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving to Buffalo shes become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately its very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games dont air very much on television Ive had to look for

18、 different ways to watch hockey games.I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them dont work.

19、 Either the site doesnt really give you what they advertise or their video player doesnt work properly. But finally Ive found one websites that actually works.Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You dont have to download any kind special software or pay money

20、 or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching. The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainment, music and sports. Youre not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you ca

21、n watch the latest episode of Heroes or Greys Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.There is al so a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movie

22、s. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs not hing but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already been released but already released movies dont go back farther t

23、han a couple of months.So far I havent had any problems with Free Tubes video player either. Whenever I choose a channel the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube is that there is currently a glitch if youre using Firefox. Once you choose a

24、 channel you cant select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if youre using Firefox the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choosing what channel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with M

25、ozilla to g et it fixed right away.If youre missing some show everyone is talking about like Greys Anatomy or Heroes this isnt really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you werent aware of; there are several good stations to be found. 56. The author mainly _ in th

26、is passage.A. tells us his experience in using the Web.B. introduces Free Tube to the readersC. shows us the disadvantages of Free TubeD. shows us how to enjoy films online457. The author got interested in watching hockey games _A. because he is a sports fan B. due to his sisters influenceC. since e

27、veryone enjoys the games D. because he has nothing to do all day long58. Form the passage we can learn that _A. the author is also very fond of moviesB. Maxx Trailers airs to-be-released moviesC. ABC is a very famous TV station in AmericaD. Firefox is the only software used to watch films online59.

28、The underlined word “glitch” probably means _A. cover B. change C. note D. faultBNuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided some countries are planning more nucle

29、ar plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of Franc

30、es electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nucle

31、ar power doesnt create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britains chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesnt have the luxury of ignorin

32、g nuclear energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean , but theyre expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many peo

33、ple may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isnt safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to

34、dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.The nucle

35、ar energy issue is very complex. And it doesnt look like itll be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently said, “its been a bad year for the nuclear village, but I dont think theyre down and out yet.” The battle continues. 60. Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nucle

36、ar energy over other energy sources? A. Nuclear energy doesnt produce any greenhouse gases.B. Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources.D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other ren

37、ewable energies.61. In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to _.A. convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.5B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.C. persuade the world not to use nuclear e

38、nergy. D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe. 62. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy.B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.C. a battle will break out in the future.D. Japan is considering to

39、build a nuclear village in the future.63. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage? A. To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy.B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters.C.
