19、of Christmas 41 . They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 43 to share by all five of us. The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散
20、开 ). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46 back at the “Santas Workshop”. Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didnt say anything
21、 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 50 to be angry again. This is what she told me. “I was looking 51 thinking of what to buy, and I 52 to read the little cards on the Giving Trees. One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃

26、 confused (困惑 ) in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标 ) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post off
27、ice is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In K
28、ansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five min
29、utes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know. Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in
30、 Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan! 56. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _. A. describe the place carefully B. show him a map of the place C. tell him t
31、he names of the streets D. refer to recognizable buildings and places 57. What is the place where people measure distance in time? A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa. 58. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _. A. in order to save time B. as a test C. so as to be polite D
32、. for fun 59. What can we infer from the text? A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences. B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. C. People have similar understandings of politeness. D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. B Far from the la
33、nd of Antarctica (南极洲 ), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod. For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is no
34、t a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of 1.88 and man
35、y tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to 2.05 . That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture. The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fi
36、shs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质 ) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing p
37、oint. Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子 ) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP. 60. What is
38、the text mainly about? A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. B. A special fish living in freezing waters. C. The ice shelf around Antarctica. D. Protection of the Antarctic cod. 61. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature? A. The seawater has a temperature of 1.88 . B. It l
39、oves to live in the ice-salt mixture. C. A special protein keeps it from freezing. D. Its blood has a temperature lower than 2.05 . 62. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. A newly found protein. C. Fish blood. D. Sugar molecule. 63. What does
40、 “glycol-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean? A. sugar B. ice C. blood D. molecule C Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood. Unluckily, in many part
41、s of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new tr
42、ees. So the forests slowly disappear. This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the ra
43、in falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert. 64. The most important points of trees to man is _. A. they help him to make money B. they give him cool C. they give him wood and other thin
44、gs D. they help him to stop drought and floods 65. In many places forests slowly disappear because _ . A. many trees have been cut down by man B. new trees are not well looked after C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees D. all the above 66. Land becomes desert after all trees are cu
45、t down because _ . A. roots of trees break up the soil B. there are too many rainfalls C. strong winds bring a lot of sand D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil. 67.Which title best fits the passage? A. Trees and Man B. The Function of Tree Wood C. How do People do w
46、ith Trees? D. The Usage of Tree Roots D “ How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what
47、the lesson says you re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news.
