The story I'm going to tell truly happened in my life.The other day, I met a man outside the gym who 36 a movie star. He was handsome and smiling. His upper body was muscular and he 37 to be on top of the world."How are you?" I 38 with a smile. "I'm doing really well," he replied in a cheerful voice. His enthusiasm and big smile 39 the parking garage. 40 as he walked up, I 41 his long legs were thin and I saw he had a silver cane (手杖). "Why do you need that cane?" I couldn't 42 thinking he had a minor injury. "I have MS," he answered in a 43 voice too, as his broad smile 44 left his face. Multiple Sclerosis is a very serious disease and often painful. I looked at him from my little red sports car and said, "You 45 it very well. You seem like a happy man 46 the MS. " Without losing a bit of his smile he replied, "I am a happy man," and then added, "I'd be even happier if I had that sports 47 . "It was ironic (讽刺的). Just 48 we spoke, I'd been sitting in that little sports car, feeling sad about my painful shoulder over the last 11 months although I was 49 after an operation. Here's a man with a 50 far tougher than mine, but his positive attitude made him feel no 51happiness. He went on with his enjoyment of life as usual, which moved me deeply.It was also a wonderful reminder of that old 52 , "I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet. " 53 your problems, just keep in 54 that none of us goes through life 55 and like the man with MS, make the most of what you have.

Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need," WHO director general Margaret Chan told a meeting of mental health experts."It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses, suicides and mental disorders," Chan warned.Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's mental health and substance abuse department, said mental health disorders affect one in four people at some point in their lives.Mental and nervous disorders are often chronic (慢性) and disabling, he said. Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year, a large proportion of them young adults.Asked about the financial crisis, Saraceno said "Poverty can be the consequence of such events, the debts, despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes. Even the poor can be affected by this crisis"."There is a clear evidence that suicide is linked to financial disasters. I am not talking about the millionaire jumping out of the window but about poor people," he said. “The global crisis could be expected to affect the stability (稳定) of communities and families”, according to Saraceno.56 According to the passage, the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that ______.A. more people will be poorerB. more people will suffer from mental problemsC. more people will be out of jobsD. more people will commit suicide57. The United Nations agency worried that ______.A. more rich people would commit suicideB. hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problemsC. the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despairD. the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries58. It is implied that ______.A. a mental disorder is a chronic diseaseB. it will be surprising to see more people commit suicideC. far more work should be done to help those who are mentally illD. many more young adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages59. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Mental Disorders Resulting From Global Financial CrisisB. Consequence of Global Financial CrisisC. Suicides as a Result of Market MeltdownD. Chronic Mental DisordersBIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them. But you do get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't overcome this anger, it can turn into bitterness.Bitterness can occur when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of working through the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. The bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurt us. We may think we are hurting that person, but we are really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body. It can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure. Bitterness can keep us from concentrating on important things. Finally, holding onto bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry, negative person for very long.Author Chuck Swindoll once said,"...life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. "That means when someone hurts you, your response is more important than what happened. You can choose to let go of hurt, or you can hold on to hurt, which results in bitterness.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to handle it. Instead of denying your anger, admit it to yourself. Then see your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. The best thing you can do is to forgive and forget. You probably can't completely put the act out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Let it go and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind.60. What will happen if we don’t let go of anger?A. We’ll put blame on others for no reasonB. A bitter feeling will develop in our mindC. It will be hard to get rid of anger.D. We will always be criticized and hurt.61. What is the main idea of Paragraph Three?A. Bitterness affects us physically.B. Bitterness hurts relationshipsC. The three side effects of bitternessD. It’s a waste of time to hate others62. The author advises us to do all the following EXCEPT ______.A. to enjoy the hurt others sufferB. to forgive the one who hurts usC. to deal with your anger properlyD. to forget others’ rude behavior63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The disadvantages of bitternessB. How to forgive othersC. The causes of bitternessD. How to overcome bitternessCEveryone heard of the San Andreas fault(断层),which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes．But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812,three major earthquakes occurred, and all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River．Property damage was severe．Buildings in the area were almost destroyed．Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell of chemicals．The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(急流和旋涡)．Several times it changed its course, once according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards．Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811:but the severity of the earthquakes were shown by the fact the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast．Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington D．C．Scientists now know that Am erica’s two major faults are essentially different．The San Andreas is a horizontal(水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions．California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault ,on the other hand, is a vertical（垂直的）fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface．Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks．Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motion causes earthquakes in the region．The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens ofother cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois．Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811;these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur．64．This passage is mainly about_____．A．the New Madrid fault B．the San AndreasC．the causes of fault D．current scientific knowledge about faults 65．Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?A．B．C．D．66．This passage implies that _____．A．horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faultsB．vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faultsC．a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened todayD．the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive．DTwo new electronic book products (the Soft-Book and the Pocket-Book) have gathered extensive press coverage, including articles in ABC News, the New York Times, San Jose Mercury News, and WIRED.An electronic book (e-book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Different from a traditional printed book, e-books are born digital.Being a firm believer in tablet computers for many tasks not involving heavy data entry, I applaud these new designs of the products. In particular, the Soft-Book has nice leather binding (封皮), going far beyond the traditional (and boring) industrial design used for other portable computers. The Pocket-Book has a more traditional industrial design, typical of leading electronic gadgets (小配件).Unfortunately, neither company mentions their product's screen resolution (分辨率). Low-resolution monitors (including all computer screens until now) have poor readability: people read about 25% slower from computer screens than from printed paper. Scientists believe that only the screen with 300 dpi displays has the same reading speed as print. So unless they have much better screens, electronic books will have a problem.A project called "the last book" is getting much attention, which aims at producing a computer in the form of a folio (对开本): a set of pages using "digital ink". Users would move forward in the information by turning pages just as they do in a printed book. Hopefully, the scientists will eventually invent a way to make the "digital ink" display characters at a high enough resolution to gain the same reading speed as print.Even when e-books gain the same reading speed as print, they will still be a bad idea. Page turning remains a bad interface (界面), even when it can be done more conveniently than by clicking the mouse on a "next page" button.Another problem is that most e-book publishers do not warn their customers about the real meaning of the digital rights management (DRM) tied to their products. Generally they claim that it is meant to prevent copying of the e-book. However, in many cases it is also possible that it will result in the complete denial of access by the purchaser to the e-book. The e-book is tied to a specific computer or device. In these cases, the DRM will usually let the purchaser move the book a limited number of times after which they cannot use it on any additional devices. If the purchaser upgrades or replaces their devices, they may lose access to their purchase. Some forms of the DRM depend on the existence of online services to authenticate (认证) thepurchasers. When the company that provides the service goes out of business or decides to stop providing the service, the purchaser will no longer be able to access the e-book.67. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3, we know that the writer _______.A. h as bought the two new products beforeB. l ikes the special designs of the new productsC. t hinks it more convenient to use traditional computersD. d oesn't like the traditional design of portable computers68. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. b orn digital, e-books can only be read on computersB. "digital ink" has gained the same reading speed as printC. n ow all the computers are using the screens with 300 dpi displaysD. e-books may have slower reading speed compared with printed books69. Due to the digital rights management, ________.A.t he e-book should be tied to a specific deviceB. p eople should upgrade their devices regularlyC. r eaders are likely to lose access to their purchaseD. o nly purchasers can download the book without limit70. This passage mainly talks about ________.A. the disadvantages of electronic booksB. the future of electronic booksC. the designs of electronic booksD. two new electronic books第二卷（非选择题，共35分）第四部分词汇考查（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）根据句意及汉语提示写出所缺单词的正确形式。
