18、sage 1. Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers onANSWER SHEET. Forgive and forget. Most of us find the forgetting easier, but maybe we should work on the forgiving part. “Holding on to hurts wears you down physically and emotionally.”
19、 says Stanford University psychologist Fred Luskin, author of Forgive for Good. “Forgiving someone can be a powerful remedy.” In a recent study, Charlotte van Oyen Witvliet, assistant professor of psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and colleagues asked 71 volunteers to remember a past
20、hurt. Tests recorded sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension-the same responses that occur when people are beside themselves. Research has linked temper and heart diseases. When the volunteers were asked to imagine forgiving those whod wronged them, they remained calm by co
21、mparison. Whats more, forgiveness can be learned, insists Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. “We teach people to rewrite their story in their minds, to change from victim to hero. If the hurt is form a husbands or a wifes unfaithfulness, we might encourage them to think of themsel
22、ves not only as a person who was cheated on, but as the person who tried to keep the marriage together.” Two years ago Luskin tested his method on five Northern Irish women whose sons had been murdered. After undergoing a week of forgiveness training, the womens sense of hurt, measured using psychol
23、ogical tests, had fallen by more than a half. They were also much less likely to feel depressed and angry. “Forgiving isnt about regarding what happened as harmless or acceptable,” says Luskin. “It is about breaking free of the person who wronged us.” The early signs that forgiving improves overall
24、health are promising. A survey of 1,423 adults by the University of Michigans Institute for Social Research in 2001 found that people who had forgiven someone in their past also reported being in better health than those who hadnt. However, while 75 percent said they were sure God had forgiven them
25、for past mistakes, only 52 percent had been able to find it in their hearts to forgive others. Forgiveness, it seems, is still divine. 41. In Luskins opinion, people could enjoy better health if they_. A. hold past hurts back B.let off those who hurt them C.avoid the wrongdoers D.become less emotion
26、al 42.According to Luskin, to forgive an unfaithful, husband, a wife needs to _. A.see herself as the guardian of the marriage B.persuade herself to put up with the hurt C.urge herself to see the hurt as nothing D.take measures in restoring the marriage 43.According to the passage, to forgive means_
27、. A.to prevent yourself from doing wrong to your enemies B.to keep silent when someone hurts you C.to stop being angry with those who wronged you D.to think of something tolerable that has happened 44. What does the last paragraph imply? A.Few people can truly forgive others. B.Its really no easy ta
28、sk to forgive. C.Most mistakes are forgivable. 英语第 4页 共 6 页 D.Its part of human nature to forgive. 45. The best title of the text might be _. A.The Promotion of Forgiveness B.The Difficulty in Forgiveness C.The Research on Forgiveness D.The Healing Power of Forgiveness Passage 2.(10 points) The Pyra
29、mids of Egypt It is the one and only Wonder which does not require a description by early historians and poets. It is the one and only Wonder that does not need speculations concerning its appearance, size, and shape. It is the oldest, yet it is the only surviving of the Seven Ancient Wonders. It is
30、 the Great Pyramid of Giza. Location At the city of Giza, a necropolis of ancient Memphis, and today part of Great Cairo, Egypt. History Contrary to the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), not all three Great Pyramids, is on top of the list of Wonders. The monument was built by
31、the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu of the fourth Dynasty around the year 2560 BC to serve as a tomb when he dies. The great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20 year period. The site was first prepared, and blocks of stone were transported and placed.An outer casing(外壳， 罩子) (which disappeared ov
32、er the years) was then used to smooth the surface. Although it is not known how the blocks were put in place, several theories have been proposed. One theory involves the construction of a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the construction proceeded. This ramp, coated with mud and water, ea
33、sed the displacement of the blocks which were pushed (or pulled) into place. A second theory suggests that the blocks were placed using long levers with a short angled foot. Throughout their history, the pyramids of Giza have stimulated human imagination. They were referred to as “The Granaries of J
34、oseph” and “The Mountains of Pharaoh”.When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his pride was expressed through his famous quote:“Soldiers! From the top of these Pyramids, 40 centuries are looking at us.” Today, the Great Pyramid is enclosed, together with the other pyramids and the Sphinx, in the touris
35、tic region of the Giza Plateau. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid. It may al

Read the following passage about the history of transportation and finish the tasks according to the passage. 英语第
39、5页 共 6 页 The history of America is in part a history of changes in transportation. First, the building of railroads across the country, then the building of the giant freeways and finally the development of other forms of transportation, such as airplanes. Now lets look at these forms of transportat
40、ion and how theyve changed in the last one hundred years. From the time of the invention of wheel, people all over the world have searched for a faster and better way to travel, but it wasnt till a hundred years ago that machine began to go faster than horses. By 1900, many steam-powered trains carr
41、ied people at a speed of more than 100 miles one hour. The first automobile appeared on the street and a few brave adventurers actually tried to fly. Eventually this wild machine did get off from the ground, but during the first half of the 20thcentury, most long distance travel was done on trains.T
42、rains were fast, efficient and could carry people anywhere they wanted to go. Still as better cars and highways were built, most people wanted to ride by car. By 1990, there were more than 200 million cars in the United State and Canada. Of course for longer distance, flying by giant plane is much f
43、aster. People used to travel much more by train than they do now. And now people are saying more trains will solve many of our transportation problems. In countries like Japan, France and Germany, modern high speed trains provide fast, clean and comfortable transportation for thousands of travelers
44、every day. Between some European cities, people more travel by high speed train than by airplane or car. In addition to the speed and comfort, trains can take you right to the city centers. If you take a train from the airport, you dont have to fight the traffic for an hour or more. In the United St
45、ates, there are still no high-speed trains, but in a few year trains like the Swedish train or German innocent express will connect Washington and New York. For longer trips, such as from LosAngles to New York,Americans will probably continue to travel by plane. There is another option that people w
46、ill have. We call it telecommuting. People will not go anywhere, that is to say, theyll stay at home to have a computer, a fax machine and a telephone and theyll do the work from their home. Theyll never have to go out or worry about getting to work. In the future, well have something that is called
47、 personal rapid transit system. People travel in cars along tracks like trains. This car will hold one or three people and theyll travel non-stop to the destination. Imagine youll own a private train that never gonna get into traffic. That is what the personal transit system will be. Direction: Comp
