19、室）. My 36 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 37 with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.Approaching my locker（衣物柜）, I noticed my teammates 38 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 39 it were a film of the opposing tea

20、ms play. Some seemed a bit more 40 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 41 what will happen in 120 minutes.Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 oclock. He told the team how 42 this game was for the season, between two of the states top teamsmy school and our op

21、posing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse（沖動(dòng)）it needed to 43 .At 7:10 pm, warm ups finished, we went over the game 44 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem（國(guó)歌） 45 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usua

22、lly made a final 46 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 47 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Lets go and get them.” Even 48 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 49 our way out of the door.Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to

23、 be a 50 of our schools winning tradition. When I smiled and 51 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.Seconds later, the team ran onto the 52 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 53 from fans and the fight song played by our school b

24、and. Breathing in the 54 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win.

No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll showed that both men and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and s

28、ome even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of that is challenged in a research published in the November issue of Personality and Social Psychology Review. .In a recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decad

29、es of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency（趨勢(shì)） for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their

30、 wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listen

31、er, while mens speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.56.This passage mainly talks about a research conducted by _ .A. Gallup Poll B. Personality and Social Psycholo

32、gy ReviewC. Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres D. the author57. Which of the following statements describes the main idea of the passage?A. Women are born more talkative than men.B. Men are born more talkative than women.C. Women and men are talkative in different cases.D. Women are no more talkative

33、 than men.58.The underlined word gender means _.A. people B. nationality C. culture D. sex59.Talking with strangers, _.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have

34、their opinions accepted BDoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britains relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the UKs national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an

35、 average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, 400 a

36、 year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways? One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Pr

37、ofessor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” Psychologist C

38、ooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper. And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our

39、 hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeines doing, Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.” 60. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in oth

40、er countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.61. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _.A. 400 is lost in working hours for each person B. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people

41、 spend 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day62. Whats Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D. Positive.CBEIJING, Nov. 26 - U. S. dollar hit another record low against the euro on Friday

44、ts clout.Traders were expecting market liquidity to remain thin on Friday because of the extended U.

48、D When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship (獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金) and gain entry to Harvard

49、 University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted (吸毒) parents. There was

50、 never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had

51、died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole othe

52、r way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me

53、 down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug a

54、ddicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.67.In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admi
