Temperature is part of my married romance. Coming to NewYork from Baltimore-where there is just one small snowstorm each year—I was 21 by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 22 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.

My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario, where winter 23 from September to May and cold wind is 24 . “When Canadians have 30 below, they 25 it,” he says. “Cold wind is for crybabies.”

So to marry this man I had to learn to 26 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s InnerHarbor to Albany’s frozenHudson, Peter piled me 27 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots-comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 28 we were getting serious.

That first winter together,living in upstate New York,I thought I’d29My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 30 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 31 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 32days and other days I am reminded that livingcold does indeed

build 33 .

34 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 35 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.”was, “Put on a sweater.”Now I’m married to a man who 36 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am 37 , in this new life and climate, to go look for that cost-saving sweater.

The word comfortable did not 38 refer to being contented. Its Latin root, comfortable, means to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter；not to make us comfortable, but to make us 39 . We 40 not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

A

They say that before long, we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable or by satellite .Some people think that it’s ridiculous to have that many channels. Their usual criticism goes something like this：

“I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch. No one needs to see that much TV. There’s not enough time in the day to watch all that!” They also state that most of what’s on television now isn’t worth watching in the first place.

I think they’re missing the point. If the local library wanted to add another 5,000books,would we say “That’s silly, we’ll never have time to read all those books.” ?The point is that we would have more choices.

I don’t believe that most people should watch more television And if we had 500 or even 1,000 channels to choose from, we wouldn’t have to spend more time watching the tube. We would, however, have a better selection of programs to choose from. That means that the quality of our viewing time would improve.

I, for one, say that the more channels we can access, the better. Give me more choices! If they’re not worth my time, I’ll just hit the “off” button.

41．The author’s main purpose of writing this article is to tell readers.

A．his opinion about having more channels on TV

B．some people think it unnecessary to have so many TV channels

D．they can’t afford enough time to watch so many programs

43．According to the author, having more channels means.

A．having more good programs

B．having more choices

D．getting more information over TV

44．Which ofthe following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．People usually don’t have enough time to see all the programs on TV.

B．More and more television networks are being set up.

D．If we have more channels, we can improve the quality of our viewing time.

Parenting has never been an easy job, but mothers and fathers today face challenges in raising their children that their own parents may never have had to deal with.

While children have always been particular eaters, for example, parents today are trying to supply healthful food in a world full of chicken nuggets, processed snacks and soft drinks. Bike riding and hopscotch have given way to video games and text messaging. And working parents have to cope with all things around day care, jobs and family.

At the same time, a large amount of health information on the Internet and elsewhere has introduced a higher level of stress for parents. Web sites provide supplements（补品）that increase a child’s brain health while news organizations report on the latest scare from baby bottles or too much television.

All of this makes raising a healthy child overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.

This Wel l guide offers small steps and simple ways to improve a child’s well-being in four areas—nutrition, development, playtime and safety Inside, there’s advice from experts on how to raise a healthy, active youngster；tips on diet and behavior, help for problems like insomnia, and the latest thinking on day care, discipline and other topics. It’s all designed to help kids stay well every day.

45．According to the author,what is most likely to be found in today’s homes?

47．From the 1st paragraph in the passage, we can infer that.

A．today’s parents are too busy to raise their own children

B．today’s parents should seek advice from their own parents

C．itwasmuch easiertoraise childreninthepast

D．parents have more concerns in raising children today

48．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by.

A．relaxing B．delighting C．stressful D．puzzling

For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seems to be slipping out of reach.

“Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did,’’says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house.”

The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books, ”says John Brown, who built a six-room home for$25, 000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpentry（木匠）skill to make a bookcase, you can build a house. ”An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, 1ay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract（承包）for some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.

One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

49．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．The cost of having a house built.

B．A comparison between young couples and their parents.

C．The life of owner-builders in America.

D．The American dream of owning a house.

50．It can be inferred from the passage that many Americans find it difficult to.

A．build a house B．find a ready-made house

C．have a good job D．buy a house

51．The underlined phrase “take the plunge” most probably means “.”

A．decide to build a house B．decide to pull down a house

C．decide to buy a house D．decide to rent a house

52．From the passage we learn that.

A．Many house plans are offered free of charge.

B．Most of the house plans arc offered by building instructors.

C．Fifty percent of the American young couples build houses.

D．Most of the owner-builders design their homes.

Birds in cities are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life.

New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds. They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies, which could harm their vocal cords. Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of during the day. This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhaustion.

“The differenc e between urban andrural birdsongis becoming so bigthatthetwogroups could now be unable to communicate. This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool.” said Dr Sue Anne Zollinger of the University of St Andrews.

According to Zollingar,a bird group with a small gene pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out.

A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels（分贝）louder than those in the forest. The birds sang loudest on weekday mornings.

“By trying to sing over the sound of the city, birds are rising vocal injury,”said Zollinger. “All this puts the same strain on a bird’s vocal cords as when a human need to shout to be heard—except the birds are doing it all day, every day,”she said.

“Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce. Their songs may lose quality and become more rough—sounding,”said Zollinger. This could make them appear less attractive to female birds.

Mark Constantine, author of The Sound Approach to Birding, said：“Birdsong is important for our quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure. When we live in the centre of large, urban areas, we get stressed and it’s extremely good to have birdsong around us. The impact on humans of birdsong is massive. It harms us, as well as the birds, if their songs become louder and simpler.

53．Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because.

A．they want to attract more birds of opposite sex

B．they are more likely to be discovered by their family

C．they can’t adapt to the loud noises during the daytime

D．they have to frighten their enemy away

54．According to the passage, urban and rural birds might not be able to.

A．recognize each other

B．communicate with each other

C．livewith each other

D．compete against each other

55．It requires greatest efforts for birds in cities to sing on.

A．Monday nights B．Wednesday afternoons

C．Saturday Evenings D．Friday mornings

56．According to Dr Sue Anne Zollinger, birds singing louder might eventually lead to.

A．the harm done to man’s health

B．the dying out ofa species

C．the serious damage to the bird’s vocal cords

D．the decrease of the birth rate of a bird group

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying

Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration（就职演说）last week in Washington Watching the huge crowds, we saw laughter, cheers, hugs-but

alsomanytears.

Itmade uswonder,why dopeople cry?Surelytearsmustbe goodforus—awayto calmthe mind and cleanse the body. Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse.

Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject. They examined detailed descriptions of crying experiences. Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life, not in a laboratory.

The team analyzed information from the International Study on Adult Crying. As part of that study, three thousand people in different countries, mostly college students, wrote about recent crying experiences. They noted causes, surroundings and any people involved in the event. They also reported how they felt after they cried.

Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal. Crying does not always make a person feel better, he says. About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried.

But a third felt better after crying. And a majority reported the experience as helpful.

The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around. People who reached out for emotional support at the time-and received it-reported better results from the crying experience.

But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful.

Research has shown that women cry more of ten and more intensely than men. But it may not be to better effect, says the psychologist. The new findings, he says, did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying. In other words, just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry.

The paper entitled”Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Science. And there is more to learn. Jonathan Rottenberg says the science of crying is still in its infancy.

57．Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?

A．Because he was impressed by the laughter, cheers, hugs and tears.

B．Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying.

C．Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result.

D．Because it was the historic moment that many people cried.

58．How did the researchers carry out the research?

A．They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs.

B．They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges.

C They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries.

D．They noted their own crying experiences and compared with others.

59．We can learn from the passage that.

A．it may be better to cry alone than with others around.

B．some support from others may make crying helpful.

C．women who cry more often may have better effects than men.

D．the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying.

60．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means．

A．in the early stage B．in a secret state C．in the first place D in good condition 第二节：任务型阅读：Alan等5个语言学习者都有条件通过计算机辅助学习来提高语言水平，下面是六个最新开发的语言辅助学习软件。请根据不同学习者的特点和要求, 选出最合适他们使用的软件。其中有一项选择是多余的。

My dentist had just pulled out one of my tooth and had told me to rest for while. My mouth was full with cotton-wool. He knew I collected bird eggs and asks me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me a lot of other question. In answer to these questions, I could neither nod or make strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy search out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, so couldn’t say everything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton-wool, I was able to tell him of that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.
