That week he worked night shift in a Potash mine. He started at midnight. Just after 2 a.m, the group that Dad was in charge of went for coffee. There was a machine that always had to be operated and he said, “ It s okay. You guys all go and I ll work it.”The machine would move quickly, periodically (周期性地 ) and for one moment Dad made a mis take he didn t pay attention, and it struck him in the head. The workers rushed and cut the base of the machine and transported it with him in the ambulance but father died on the way. In the middle of this ordeal (苦难 ), a spokesperson for the hospital asked my mother if they could take one of my father s eyes that they had a person waiting for it. To my surprise, my mother nodded. Years later, in the late summer of 2008, I was at the Woodlawn Cemetery (公墓 ) where my father s body rests. As I finished praying and stood, a man from behind me said, “ How are you now, Frank? ”I quickly thought, knowing only the family, and his friends and co-workers called him “ Frank ” , that this man must have known him. As I turned to face him, I replied, “ He s my father.”This man, Frank Bazylak, as I would learn later, replied confidently, “ I worked with your father for a short time just over a year but he made an impact on my life. He was so passionate, so demanding and yet so giving.”“ You know, he wasn t meant to be there that day. But that was Frank,” he said.I d heard wonderful stories about father from family and from friends, but four decades later and from a stranger, there in the cemetery, this. after all of that time. and there. beautiful! 36.

Many people believe the Mayan Calendar 2018 says so. But there is still a heated argument about it. Some people say it is a big hoax（骗局） . Some claim that it is true. What to believe? Well, maybe it s time that you learn more about the Mayan Calendar 2018.What exactly is the Mayan Calendar 2018 and who are the Mayans? The Mayans were a group of people who lived thousands of years ago in what is now Mexico. They knew so much about the world and the universe that they invented the Long Count Calendar. The Mayan Calendar 2018 is actually just part of the calendar. The most interesting thing about this calendar is that it seems to predict a great catastrophe that will happen in the year 2018. According to it, there will be an end to the existing era and a new one will begin. One misunderstanding about the Mayan Calendar 2018 is that it points to an end of the world. While the calendar ends in 2018, it doesn t actually indicate that the world will not exist in the year 2018. In fact, instead of referring to a real disaster that will occur, it refers to the birth of a new period, the beginning of another circle of the calendar. Whether you believe that the Mayan Calendar 2018 points to a real global disaster or not, it would be best if you will keep yourself informed. There are many resources about the Mayan predictions but the best are the ones that include scientific data with the discussion. You should also prepare yourself for the worst thing that can happen. While there is no need to panic, it would be useful if you can prepare yourself for natural disasters such as storms, floods and earthquakes. We should prepare for disasters that can come in any year and not just in 2018. 41. The writer believes that the Mayan Calendar 2018 . A. predicts a dark period in 2018 B. is based on the Mayans knowledge about nature精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 10 页- 5 - / 10 C. has caused a big hoax recently D. is based on what happened many years ago in Mexico 42.

Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively (有效地 ) communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and the tone (语调 ) are all aspects of good communication. Body language can support what a speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is got from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills. Some professionals learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously. Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise when body language is misunderstood. Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers(障碍 ) which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All these can avoid communication troubles. Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 10 页- 6 - / 10 interruptions, inappropriate humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. Healthy minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want clearly. 46. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Listening skills play a key role in successful communication. B. The manner of communication is determined by the listener. C. Body language benefits much from effective communication. D. Speakers usually pay little attention to the words and tone. 47. According to the studies, body language _. A. makes up 40% of the information received from communication B. can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing C. sometimes lead people to misunderstand what others have said D. can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills 48. What does the underlined word “ subconsciously” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Skillfully. B. Seriously. C. Anxiously D. Unknowingly. 49. Which of the following reactions of a listener may affect communication? A. Making a summary of what he has heard. B. Repeating the speaker s words and ideas. C. Bringing in an unrelated topic suddenly. D. Showing his feeling to the speaker. 50. What s the author s purpose of writing this text? A. To suggest ways to effectively communicate with others. B. To introduce different types of body language to readers. C. To emphasize that communication is not just about talking. D. To discuss the influence of good and poor listening skills. D Berlin Germany s University of Heidelberg says a researcher has given evidence that apparently confirms (证实 ) the identity of the woman behind the Mona Lisa s famous smile.She is Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo, according to notes written in the margins of a book by a friend of Leonardo da Vinci as the artist worked on the masterpiece, the school said in a statement. The discovery by a Heidelberg University library manuscript (手稿 ) expert Armin Schlechter appears to confirm what has long been suspected. It is also an answer that has been in plain (清楚地) view for centuries: the Mona Lisa is known as Lisa del Giocondo in Italian. Lisa del Giocondo was first named as the woman in the painting by Italian writer Giorgio Vasari in 1550, who also dated the work at between 1503 and 1506, the university said. 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 6 页，共 10 页- 7 - / 10 But because Vasari relied on anecdotal (轶事的 ) evidence, there was always doubts about the identification, and Leonardo is not known to have made any notes about the model s identit y himself. Mixing the mystery, unclear references in 1517, 1525 and 1540 point to other identifications. “ One possibility discussed is the presentation of an imaginative likeness of a woman, Leonardo s female ideal,” the school said.But the find by Heidelberg library expert Armin Schlechter settles the matter, according to the university. In a copy of the works of Roman philosopher Cicero, Agostino Vespucci, a Florentine official and friend of Leonardo s, wrote in the margins that da Vinci was working on a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. He dated his notes October 1503, also helping fix the exact time Leonardo was working on the painting. “ All doubts as to the identity of the Mona Lisa are eliminated (消除 ) by one source,” the university said. The discovery was actually made in 2005, but was not widely known until a German radio station last week aired it in a report. 51. Leonardo da Vinci was working on the masterpiece in . A. 1503 B. 1506 C. 1525 D. 1550 52. What can apparently confirm the identity of the Mona Lisa? A. Armin Schlechter s manuscript.B. Giorgio Vasari s anecdotal evidence.C. Agostino Vespucci s notes. D. The notes by Leonardo da Vinci. 53. Why was Giorgio Vasari s view doubted? A. Because he didn t fix the exact time. B. Because Leonardo made no note about the model. C. Because his find was based on anecdotal evidence. D. Because the answer has been in plain view for centuries. 54. The discovery was finally made public by . A. a German radio station B.

But according to recent research, the best way to live a long and happy life is simple: get a pet. 2 “ We have known for many years that the company of a pet can increase well-being in a number of ways,” says Dr Bonnie Beaver, an animal behavior specialist at Texas University. “For example, the survival rates of heart attack patients with pets are much greater than those without pets. ” According to Dr Beaver, pet owners are less likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly from illness. They have lower blood pressure, take more exercise and are more socially active. Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr Beaver surveyed said that their family environment was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr Beaver and other researchers are trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life. 3 There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to have something to do with emotional ties. People with someone or something to love live longer. “ There are many forms of animal-human relationships and some are very helpful,” says Dr Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the more _. 4 Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes. “ Women are more sensitive (敏感的 ) to bad marriages than their husbands because they work harder at their relationships,” says Dr Janice Glaser of Ohio State University. The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays. They can disappear for days. How can they be better trained? 56. What s the main idea of the text? (no more than 12 words)_ 57. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one? The company of a dog seems to be a better choice than that of a bad husband for a woman. _ 58.
