26、出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “Wha
27、t could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from
28、an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army ac
29、ross America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Week
30、s later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.”
31、The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I belie
32、ved I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back
33、 to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!61. What did the authors classmates think about his report?A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous.C. Boring. D. Puzzling.62. Why was the author confused about the ta
34、sk?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teachers instruction.D. He didnt know why the teacher gave such a task.63. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _.A. annoyed B. ashamedC. ready D. eager64. In the end, the a
35、uthor turned things around _.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterBIts not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what were doing. I wa
36、s arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “Ill pencil it in my diary”, but my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to s
37、ending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. Then along came email and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we live without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails. Email reminds me, of course, of
38、my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing
39、on my PC, but there I dont bookmark; I favoritecoming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun. Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on the
40、ir phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I havent heard that verb yet, but Im sure I will soon. Perhaps I ll start using it myself! 65. “Ill pencil it in my diary
41、” in the second paragraph probably means “_”. A. it was a firm arrangement B. he prefers a pencil to a pen C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. it was an uncertain arrangement66. A website address can be easily found if it has been _. A. favoritedB. messagedC. emailedD. texted67. Which
42、 of the following has not been used as a verb yet? A. messageB. mobileC. emailD. fax68. The best title for this passage is_. A. How to use verbs B. Development of the English language C. Origins of verbs D. New Verbs from NounsCDecision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that
43、acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways. “Stress affects how peopl
44、e learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.” For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by ha
45、ving to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who had
