8.Each week New York-based hairstylist Mark Bustos tries to make a small difference in people's lives(41)by giving haircuts to homeless people.
During the week,Mark works in his high-class salon,but each Sunday,he walks around the city asking people (42)whether/if they'd like a haircut.He then gives them a stylish haircut--(43)the same kind he would give to any paying customer,except these are done for free for those who are homeless or cannot afford a haircut  (44)themselves  (them).
Mark's work began in 2012when visiting family in the Philippines.Instead of just (45)taking (take) a typical,relaxing vacation,he decided to give poor local children haircuts."I felt so happy doing it that I've continued since returning,"Mark explains.
Changing someone's appearance can have a huge impact on their life.Remember the homeless retired soldier who received a make-over?He found a job,(46)rented (rent) a house and quit drinking alcohol afterwards.(47)Simply (simple) changing how a person looks can give them a huge increase in (48)confidence (confident).
Mark Bustos proves that there are many ways (49)to give (give),and that you can easily use your (50)Personal (person) abilities to make a difference in somebody's life.

分析 本人講述了發(fā)型師 Mark Bustos 通過義務(wù)給無家可歸的人理發(fā)來幫助他們,號(hào)召通過個(gè)人能力來幫助其他人.

19.Humans are among the very few animals that form a threat to elephants.Yet not all people are a danger-and elephants seem to know it.The giants have shown a remarkable ability to use sight and smell to distinguish between African racial groups that have a history of attacking them and groups that do not.Now a study shows that they can even tell these differences from words spoken in the local tongues.
Biologists Karen McComb and Graeme Shannon at the University of Sussex in Brighton,UK,guessed that African elephants might be able to listen to human speech and make use of what they heard.To find out whether this was true,they recorded the voices of men from two Kenyan racial groups calmly saying,"Look,look over there,a group of elephants is coming,"in their native languages.One of these groups was the Maasai,some of whom regularly kill elephants during fierce competition for water or cattle-grazing(放牧) space.The other was the Kamba,a crop-farming group that rarely has treated elephants violently.
The researchers played the recordings to 47elephant family groups at Amboseli National Park in Kenya and monitored the animals'behavior.The differences were remarkable.When the elephants heard the Maasai,they were much more likely to cautiously smell the air or crowd together than when they heard the Kamba.Indeed,the animals bunched together nearly twice as tightly when they heard the Maasai.
"We knew elephants could distinguish the Maasai and Kamba by their clothes and smells,but that they can also do so by their voices alone is really interesting,"says Fritz Vollrath,a zoologist at the University of Oxford,UK.
Attracted by their findings,McComb,Shannon and their colleagues wondered whether the Maasai language on its own was a danger signal,or whether the animals were responding to the combination of the language and the voice of an adult male who was likely to hold a spear.To find out,they recorded Maasai women and boys saying the same phrase,and monitored elephant-family responses to them.They found that the differences were similar to what they saw with the Kamba.

47.What is the main idea of the passage?B
A.Elephants can distinguish their enemies by sight and smell.
B.Elephants can recognize the voices of their Enemies.
C.Elephants have a remarkable ability to distinguish their enemies.
D.Elephants know that not all people are their Enemies.
48.Why did the biologists record the voices of the Maasai and the Kamba?C
A.To find out whether elephants have a good listening ability.
B.To find out the differences in voices between the Maasai and the Kamba.
C.To find out whether elephants can recognize the voices of their Enemies.
D.To find out the different characters between the Maasai and the Kamba.
49.How did the biologists come to the final conclusion in the study?A
A.By comparison.
B.By listing.
C.By discussion.
D.By argument.
50.What may be mentioned right after the last paragraph of this passage?D
A.The elephants were more likely to flee from the voices of Maasai women and boys
B.The elephants did not show any concerns about the voices of Maasai men.
C.The elephants may remain calm while hearing the voices of Maasai men.
D.The elephants were less likely to flee from the voices of Maasai women and boys.

16.Human cloning is expected to be (46)beneficial (benefit) to mankind in many ways,although some people object to (47)carrying (carry) out human cloning research.Below is a list that is far from completion.
Dr.Richard Seed,one of the leading (48)supporters (support) of human cloning technology,indicates that it may someday be possible to reverse(顛倒) the aging process because of what we learn from cloning.
Scientists,who are also in (49)favor/favour of human cloning technology,believe that heart attack victims may get treated(50)appropriately (appropriate) if their healthy heart cells are cloned and then injected into the areas of the heart that have been damaged.
(51)Besides,there has been a breakthrough (52)in human stem cells.Embryonic(胚胎的) stem cells can be grown to produce organs to repair or replace damaged (53)ones/organs.By combining this technology with human cloning technology it may be possible to produce needed organs for suffering people (54)who/that will be free of rejection by their immune systems.Conditions such as Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,diabetes,heart failure,and other problems may (55)be cured (cure) if human cloning and its technology are not banned.

By eating properly and exercising regularly,I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.These things sound easy to do,but not many people can manage them.(40)E

17.PartⅠstarts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style and Organization,covering them in that order because skill or lack of skill in style affects all writing,while much technical writing is so short as to offer no problems of organization.These chapters are followed by one on Mechanics,covering matters of form that are peculiar(獨(dú)有) to technical writing or else crop up in it with abnormal frequency.
The chapter on Special Problems,which follows,performs a double function.It provides writing assignments that may be used while the study of style,organization,and mechanics is still under way,and it explains ways of handling certain problems that may arise during the writing of reports,proposals,and other longer forms.We have also expanded the treatment of technical articles-recognizing the potential contribution of article writing to the career of the writer and the value of the article to science and technology.
In PartⅡ,a change of emphasis at one point is reflected in the new title for Chapter 8,Nonformal Reports-Their Variation in Form and Purpose,which was formerly called Special Types of Reports.Though certain special types of reports are still discussed,additional emphasis is given to the fact that there does not exist any universally accepted set of types,under which all reports can be classified.
Two other extensive changes have been made in PartⅡ:The chapter on Proposals,which first appeared in the second edition,has been rewritten and substantially expanded so as to cover that important subject more thoroughly.Also,an entirely new chapter,Oral Presentation of Technical Information,has been added.Though a study of this chapter is no substitute for training in public speaking,we believe that its recommendations can nevertheless be of substantial assistance to those who use this book on the numerous occasions when they will be called upon to present their ideas in person before a small group or a large audience.

102.The passage is most probably a preface toA.
A.a(chǎn) technical writing handbook   
  B.a(chǎn) handbook on composition
C.a(chǎn) book on a literary writing    
  D.a(chǎn) scientific paper
103.In Part I,the writer arranges the chapters in the order ofC.
A.Introduction-Organization-Special Problems-Style-Nonformal Reports
B.Introduction-Style-Organization-Special Types of Reports-Mechanics
C.Introduction-Style-Organization-Mechanics-Special Problems
D.Introduction-Style-Proposals-Special Problems-Mechanics
104.You can find some writing exercises inC.
A.the chapter on Organization         B.the chapter on Style
C.the chapter on Special Problems     D.the chapter on Proposals
105.According to the passage,the chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information appears inD of the book.
A.PartⅠof the first edition
B.PartⅡof the second edition
C.PartⅠof the second edition
D.PartⅡof the third edition
106.Which of the following is not true of PartⅡof the new edition?B
A.There isn't the chapter on Special Types of Reports.
B.The chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information is rewritten and expanded.
C.The chapter on Proposals is a revised chapter.
D.There is a change of the title of Chapter 8.
