Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list ___1___ in our past that we felt ___2___ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very ___3___ process, but there’ s always some ___4___soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then ___5___ that we find ways to ___6___ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever ___7___ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my ___8___, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff ___9___ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a ___10___ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious ___11___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ___12___ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ___13___ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___14___. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few ___15___, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a ___16___ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___17___ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it ___18___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to ___19___ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to ___20___the past wrongdoings.

1. B。根據(jù)下文可知句意為：教員要求我們把我們過去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，這些事情是我們感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大聲讀出。若填something只表示一些事情，與句意不符。
2. A。ashamed意為“羞愧的”，根據(jù)后面列舉的幾項，不應該是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。
3. A。private意為“私人的、保密的、不讓人知道的”。上述事情都屬于個人隱私，不宜公開。
4. D。brave意為“勇敢的”，盡管是隱私不宜公開，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。
5. B。suggested意為“建議”，句子謂語用的動詞原形，是虛擬語氣，可先排除expected；從說話者語氣看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。
6. C。這里教員建議要做以下幾件事情：to make apologize to people“向人們道謙”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施糾正錯誤的所作所為”。
7. A。本來作者是參加一個交際培訓班，而現(xiàn)在教員所要學員做的一切似乎與培養(yǎng)交際能力無關(guān)，所以作者很納悶這是否能提高(improve)他的交際能力。
8. B。make a list意為“列表、造表”。
9. C。none of us kids liked是定語從句，前面省略了關(guān)系代詞whom / that(代替Sheriff)，選none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜歡那位郡長(Sheriff)，與下文吻合。
10. C。play a trick on sb意為“捉弄某人”。
11. B。sign意為“記號、標記、符號”，指Jimmy他們寫的字。
12. D。ever用于否定句表示“在任何時候、從來”，由于Jimmy說了謊話，所以“從來就沒人查明事實真相(found out)”。與下文“幾乎20年后再提及此事”相呼應。
13. A。appear意為“出現(xiàn)”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。
14. D。alive意為“活著的”，此時Jimmy還不知道Sheriff Brown是否活著，與后面他們接通電話，證實了Sheriff Brown還活著。所以此處不宜用其他形容詞。
15. B。ring意為“鈴聲”，這里指電話被撥通。
16. D。由we had a good laugh可知 Sheriff和 Jimmy進行的是熱烈的(lively)討論。所以不宜選其他形容詞。
17. D。后面的句子說明原因，故選 because引導原因狀語從句：因為你的伙伴都把他們做的錯事給忘了。
18. A。around意為“大約”，此句表示：而 Jimmy卻這些(nearly20年)年來一直把他所做過的錯事記在心頭。
19. C。clear up意為“消除、解除”，此句意為：在兩年里Jimmy鼓勵了我消除在我的表上的所有101項(做錯了事情)。
20. C。 right意為“糾正”，此句意為：糾正過去的不道德行為還為時不晚。

Events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and tornadoes are all natural disasters. They are mostly related to the weather. Some are predictable ----like a hurricane. Some, like an earthquake, surprise us. It is necessary for us to learn about them, so we can be prepared!
Flooding happens during heavy rains, when rivers overflow, when ocean waves come onshore, when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break. Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation(蒸發(fā)) from the sea water increases their power.
Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars.
Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous ---- sometimes even deadly. They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving. Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour. They cause damage when they land the ground. They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.
While thunder won't hurt you ----lightning will! So it's important to pay attention when you hear thunder. Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning. Lightning can strike people and buildings, which is very dangerous.
Thunderstorms affect small areas when compared with hurricanes and winter storms. The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes.
A volcano is a mountain with a large opening at the top through which melting rock, steam, gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth. When pressure increases, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening fill the air with small pieces. Eruptions can cause lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, falling ash and floods, which is likely to knock down entire forests, cause floods and earthquakes. Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems.
64. From the passage, we know that ______.
A. all natural disasters can be predicted
B. all natural disasters are connected with the weather.
C. human beings can do nothing with natural disasters
D. the more we know about natural disasters, the less we will suffer.
65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Flooding is the most common natural disaster.
B. Hurricanes and tornadoes can land the ground and cause damage.
C. Thunder can strike people and buildings.
D. Fresh volcanic ash can cause illnesses.

B
Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (縷) of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.
“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in your hair,” said Thure Ceiling, a geologist at the University of Utah.
While U.S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.
Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.
Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.
Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.
They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.
“It’s not good for pinpointing (精確定位),” Ceding said. “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”
Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.
The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.
When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.
She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.
“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said. “But it narrows it way down for me.”
61. According to the passage scientists’ new discovery is that .
A. One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.
B. A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.
C. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.
D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.
62. The underlined sentence “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para. 3) means .
A. Food and drink affect one’s personality development.
B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.
C. Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.
D. Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.
63. Which of the following is true of the rainfall in America’s West?
A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.
B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.
C. Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.
D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.
64. Cerling’s team produced__________in their research?
A. a map showing the regional differences of tap water
B. a collection of hair samples from various barber shops
C. a method to measure the amount of water in human hair
D. a chart illustrating the movement of the rain system
65. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?
A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.
B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.
C. It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.
D. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.
