We haven’t seen a bear yet, but there are bear and deer in the forests around the lake where we’re staying .On our first night we saw amazing fireworks show. It doesn’t get dark here until 10 o’clock , so it was a real late night for us. Last night we rode in a car 2,000 meter to the top of Whistler Mountain .It was as floating in a glass ball, so peaceful and still. The city lights were beautiful. Today we went boat around the lake ,but had a very short swim .It was frozen .The weather has been sunny, but not like the weather at home .Bye for now. We will be home in next week. Yours, Li Hua
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。 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? 71 Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲观者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 72 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. 73 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. 74 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) 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. 75 It is an established 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 tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we 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（乐观者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours. G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate(调查),how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 1．What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. The tools he uses. B. His ways of learning. C. The way he uses his tools. D. The various tools he use 2．“The scientist, however, goes one step further,” the author says this to show________. A. the importance of information B. the importance of thinking C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs. 3．A sound scientific theory should be one that________ . A. does not only work under one set of conditions at one time, but also works under the same conditions at other times B. leaves no room for improvement C. does not allow any change even under different conditions D. can be used for many purposes 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientists are different from ordinary people. B. The theory of relativity. C. Exactness is the core（核心）of science. D. Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.
Schedules, as the 21st century people know, simply did not exist in the 17th and 18th centuries. We are upset if a plane arrives an hour late. Our ancestors weren’t upset if an April ship didn’t show up until June. They began to worry in July and were often happy when it showed up in August. When a long-distance ship finally did get to the port, the whole city became busy and excited. Businessmen hurried down to check the goods they had ordered. The ship would probably stay in port for at least three days, often a week, to take on businessmen, give the sailors a rest, find out about the latest news, weather conditions, and so on. Travel time could only be approximate. One never knew when the winds would be good. So even though “average sailing time” was given, time could change considerably, shortening the voyage by up to 25% or putting it off by up to 500% or more! The average run from England to Boston was about a month and a half, but there were also voyages of three months. One voyage in 1640 lasted six months! Travel time is not the same in both directions, due to the winds and currents. This is especially true in the Caribbean, where winds are from the southeast the entire year. Ships sailing west across the Atlantic spend longer than ships sailing east, and the contrary winds can prevent a ship from actually making it to the harbor even if it gets close. One ship was held off the North Carolina coast for 17 days before being able to land! 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. No sailor was allowed to have fun when the ship reached land. B. People in ancient times didn’t care about other people’s safety. C. The ship would leave for a voyage when all of the preparations were made. D. A long-distance ship would create a lot of excitement in the place where it landed. 2. According to the passage, travel time can’t be fixed due to ___________ . A. the people at the port B. average sailing time C. the changeable climate D. the businessmen and the sailors 3. The underlined word “currents” in the third paragraph means __________ . A. the movement of water B. the movement of winds C. direction of the traveling ship D. travel time of ships

His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network. Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma (魅力) is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.” But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job. 1. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family_______. A. have relatives in Europe B. love cooking at home C. often hold parties D. own a restaurant 2. The Food Network got to know Lieberman_________ A. at one of his parities B. from his teachers C. through his taped show D. on a television program 3. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job? A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen. B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV. C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches. D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals 4. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text? A. He is clever but lonely. B. He is friendly and active. C. He enjoys traveling around. D. He often changes his menus.
