Back in my days as a salesman, I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I was wearing running shoes for an important speech. I knew I could buy a new pair when I landed. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat has been replaced with a single idea. The next morning, I began my speech, “You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, its about this request here. When Im done speaking, Ill be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.” My little “goof-up” became a clever demonstration(示范) of action speaking louder than words. My shoe lesson number two. My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wifes shoes broke. So off to the nearest shoe store we flew. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait. That day, my wife performed a miracle(奇迹)that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes. Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, contrary/opposite to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man/woman. But the lack(缺乏) of shoes can surely build character.24. Upon thinking of his shoes on the plane, the author felt_ A. proud B. delighted C. panicky and tense D. encouraged25. What does the underlined part “goof-up” probably mean?_ A. Image B. Mistake C. Success D. Present26. Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it _ A. strange to be in a dilemma/trouble for a second time B. a great pity to have to miss his brothers wedding C. important to test the quality(质量) of a new pair of shoes D. unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time27. Whats the message the author shows in the text?_ A. Emergencies(紧急情况) can help shape our character. B. You can never judge (判断) a person by his looks. C. Its hard to change our character overnight. D. Never buy shoes without trying them on first. CWe know the famous onesthe Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.” Her students agree. One young man with a patent(专利) for an unbreakable umbrella is a walking proof of Mcleans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major,” “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive/useful.” Lee is currently considering to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?28. By mentioning/referring to “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates/shows that countless inventions are . A. beneficial/helpful, because their inventors are famous B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous29. Professor Joan McLeans course aims to_. A. add color and variety to students campus life B. inform students of the windshield wipers invention C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University D. prepare students to try their own inventions30. Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _. A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm D. not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers? B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window? C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?D The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float(漂浮) free in zero gravity(重力), often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled(芭蕾)dancer. “Im an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, its just as easy to pedal(骑车)violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents/citizens have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon-dioxide you breathe in has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的)cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache. Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks youre falling. At the same time your eyes are telling you youre standing straight. That can be annoyingthats why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days truly terrible days for some - astronauts brains learn to ignore the panicky and nervous signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. Thats why exercise is considered so vital/important that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain/keep strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.32. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space? A. Deciding on a proper sleep position. B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag. C. Seeking/Looking for a way to fall asleep quickly. D. Finding a right time to go to 33. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _. A. they circle around on their bikes B. they use microcomputers without a stop C. they exercise in one place for a long time D. they watch a movie while pedaling34. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _. A. their senses stop working B. they have to stand up straight C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly D. Their brains receive opposite messages35. One of the NASAs major concerns/worries about astronauts is _. A. how much exercise they do on the station B. how they can remain healthy for long in space C. whether they can recover after returning home D. whether they are able to go back to the station第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress (压力) and Sleep, indicates/shows that stress and sleep are directly related. Dr. Winkle says, “ 36 If we can find a way to get a good nights sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with whats worrying us.” 37 Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need i
