1．In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don't get to see this soft side of others often．We try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me．At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to other drivers， "I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．" And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often，it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．

2．The website FarmersOnly．com calls itself an online dating and friendship finder．The idea started in the mind of a man，Jerry Miller in Ohio．He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer．Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers．
As he tells it，the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date．But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o'clock at night，when she had to start her day at five the next morning．
So，in 2005，Jerry Miller launched his website．"You don't have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly．com，but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America's Heartland．"
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site．Some services are free，but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year．As of last week the site listed more than 58，000 members．Many of them are farmers in the United States．Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture．Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website．
Some farmers have also found love through a group，Singles in Agriculture，which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986．It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance，but is not a dating service．The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship．Its website，singlesinag．org，says there are more than 1，000 members across the nation and as far away as France．

3．What is the nature of the scientific attitude，the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics，biology，chemistry，geology，engineering，medicine or any other science？
We all know that science plays an important role in our societies．However，many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science．The first aspect is the application of the machines，products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop．The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work．
What are these special methods of thinking and acting？First of all，it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works．He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation，and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected．Moreover，he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves．
He is a good observer，accurate，patient and objective（客觀的） and uses the facts he observes to the fullest．For example，trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum（光譜）．
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available．He rejects authority as the only basis for truth．Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively．
Furthermore，he does not readily accept his own idea，since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation．
Lastly，he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete．Furthermore，he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place．
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts．
（1）Many people believe that science helps society to progress through
A．knowledge only．
B．more than one aspect．
C．technology only．
D．the use of machines．
（2）Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE？
A．He doesn't find confidence and pleasure in work．
B．He is interested in problems that are explained．
C．He makes efforts to investigate potential connections．
D．He looks for new ways of acting．
（3）According to the passage，a successful scientist would NOT．
A．easily believe in unchecked statements．
B．easily criticize others' research work．
C．always use his imagination in work．
D．always use evidence from observation．
（4）Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses？
A．complete
B．objective
C．complicated
D．accurate
（5）What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．Application of technology．
B．Progress in modem society．
C．Scientists' ways of thinking and acting．
D．How to become a successful scientist．組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6

4．What is your favourite colour？Do you like yellow，orange，red？（1）
．Do you prefer greys and blues？Then you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist．At least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference，as well as the effect that colours have on human beings（2）．If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．
（3）．A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one；and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．（4）．A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides（自殺） than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．
（5）．It is a fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．
A．On the other hand，black is depressing．
B．They tell us，among other facts，that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up---we are born with our preference．
C．The rooms are painted in different colours as you like．
D．If you do，you must be an optimist，a leader，an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement．
E．Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active．
F．Life is like a picture or a poem，full of different colours．
G．Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it．組卷：8引用：7難度：0.5

15．Jack had gone to a university to study the history， but at the end of his first year， his history professors failed him in his examinations， and he was told why he would have to leave the university． But， his father decided to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the followed year． "He's a good boy， if you let him pass this time， I'm sure he'll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations by the end of it．" said Jack's father． "No， no， that's quite impossible，" replied the professor immediate． "Last month I asked him when Napoleon had died． He didn't know!" "Please， sir， give him other chance，" said Jack's father． "You see， we didn't have any newspapers in our house， so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill．"
