第三部分 閱讀理解
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
At first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadn't checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends-I saved those to read later when I had more time.
One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didn't recognize. The second was the subject line: "pleas papers. " Clearly, the e-mail was仕om someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language.
The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As a scientist, I' m used to getting these kinds of requests; it' s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land.
A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: "hi dear Dr. I'm very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I' d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . .. thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I' m ready to help you in mosul university/iraq if you need that. "
Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I' d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系統(tǒng)的) illness. He signed off:" warmest regards to you and lovely family. "
Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me由at was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的) in his message made me want to both smile and cry.
36.Why did the e-mail from an Iraqi catch the author' s attention?
A.The subject line was not written in standard Englis
B.It was not completely written in Englis

B.medicine to treat certain disease
C.news about each others' family
D.their opinions on wars
39.What can we infer from the text?
A.The author of the text is a language teache
B.Iraqi people are much happier now than befor
C.The Internet can bring people closer to each othe
D.Even knowing a little English can help you learn a lo

Businesses put lots of time and money into new plans, programs and excellent employees with the hope things will change. Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens
In most cases, those new plans, programs and employees enter a company with an existing culture (文化). And plans, programs and new employees have a way of conforming to(順應(yīng))the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset , or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things. Most often, it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business.
The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets, knowledge base and personal beliefs, which unfortunately all come with inherent (固有的)limits. Why Skills, knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she already knows or has experienced. In other words, it comes from the past. We ( people) try to make the past fit the future. Just because something worked in the past, doesn't mean it is suitable for the future. As the saying goes, if you do and think what you have always done and thought, you will have what you have always had.
Therefore, lasting changes have to start with the way people think. To make changes in the way you think, you will be required ta set goals beyond your basic abilities and continuously think them through. It is a way to train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone where you feel happy with your knowledge and skills.

It' s not much , but it' s home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that's just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it.
Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan’s architect (建筑師),has achieved a clever piece of design,according to architectural experts.
The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted.
When you step in through the front door, you're standing in the shower, on Britain' s only self-cleansing doormat (自動清潔門墊). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall.
Another step and you're into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he' s working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. "I don't even have to make the bed,"Chan says. " I just put the cover down. "
Chan's business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the "boat-house".
"It cost around ￡4,700 to build last year. Now it's been valued at ￡30,000. It proves that good design doesn't need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care." says Chan.
44.By saying "It's not much" (line 1, para. 1),the author means that Chan' s flat______.
A.is cheap
B.has cheap furniture
C.has a simple design
D.is fairly small
45.Where is Chan' s flat?
A.Next to a big hous
B.Under an old buildin
C.In a busy London stree
D.By the side of a country roa
46.Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text?
A.Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and be
B.Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and be
C.Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and be
D.Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed and dining tabl
47.What is the purpose of this writing?
A.To sell Chan' s flat for more mone
B.To tell people how to take care of small flat
C.To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed fla
D.To call on engineers to design their own home
Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.
Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if it's hard to explain. "
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night' s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主題) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢復(fù)的) value. "
" We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. "
48.The phrase" to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means to______.
A.pay full attention to a problem
B.wait until later for a decision
C.sleep to forget a problem
D.have difficulty sleeping
49.In the study by the US research team, students were asked to______.
A.put together words of similar meanings
B.remember words and their meanings
C.show their knowledge of words
D.make up lists of related words
50.Which of the following may be easier to remember?
A.Themes learned right before the tes
B.Rules from personal experience
C.Words learnt before a good slee
D.Ideas stored together in the brai
51.What may be the importance of the research?
A.It shows sleep may help us manage imformatio
B.It helps find out the common themes of word
C.It tells us that more sleep can improve healt
D.It proves the value of old-fashioned advic
