Worse still, Dad ___2___ a step and fell, sending my new suitcases ___3___ down the stairs. “Damn!” he screamed, his face turning red. I knew ___4___ was ahead. Whenever Dad’s face turns red, ___5___.

How could I ever ___6___ him to finish unloading the car ___7___ screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the ___8___ of the year with? Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出), as Dad walked ___9___ close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) ___10___ start.

“__11___ the room, quickly,” I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But ___12___, would there be a chair in Room 316? Or would it be a(n) ___13___ room?

___14___ I turned the key in the lock and ___15___ the door open, with Dad ___16___ complaining(抱怨) about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, expecting the ___17___. But to my ___18___, the room wasn’t empty at all! It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and seven paintings on the walls.

And there on a well-made bed sat Amy, my new ___19___, dressed neatly, greeting me with a nod, she said in a soft voice, “Hi, you must be Cori.” Then, she ___20___ the music and looked over at ___21___, “And of course, you’re Mr. Faber,” she said ___22___. “Would you like a glass of iced tea?” Dad’s face turned decidedly ___23___ before he could bring out a “yes”.

   On a hot summer day in last August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront cafe on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in  36  air. Crowded. Tempers(脾氣) of both the tourists and waiters had  37  to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment(環(huán)境).

    At the table next to mine sat an attractive,  38  couple, waiting for  39  . They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their  40  and stepped together  41 the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped  42  for the two chairs. He politely  43  his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.

    44  appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to  45  the table and take their  46  , and then walked back to the  47  cheers of the rest of his  48  . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went  49  into the water to  50  the wine. The couple toasted(祝酒) each other, the waiter and the crowd.

    One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call __21__and love.

I was not a strong __27__, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my __28__. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __29__those summer days with my father, who __30__ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do.

     Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（別扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.

     Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:

    ●power tools rather than having to use muscle（肌肉）power

     ●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist（手腕）to keep straight . This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s side

Figure1. Bend the tool, not the wrist

     ●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes—remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men.

      ●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.

60. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Good Tool Design for Women                B. Importance of Good Tool Design

C. Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries    D. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection

61. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?

A. It’s kept close to the body.                            B. It fully uses muscle power.

C. It makes users feel relaxed.                        D. It’s operated with less force.

62. What is Figure 1 used to show?

A. The effective use of the tool.                  B. The way of operating the tool.

C. The proper design of the handle.                 D. The purpose of bending the wrist.

63. In choosing tools for women, _____of the handle is the most important.

A. the size             B. the edge            C. the shape           D. the position

       Dogs wag(搖擺) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

       Researchers in Italy  examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.

       The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

71.The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because      .

A.it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging

B.the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.

C.they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit

D.the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods

72.The underlined word “intensity” in the passage means        .

A.surprise                     B.worry                       C.excitement                 D.interest

73.When there are no stimuli, a dog will         .

A.wag to the left                                              B.wag to the right

C.not wag at all                                                D.wag to the left and then to the right

74.The underlined word “they” refers to         .

A.the dogs                    B.the trainers                C.the systems               D.the researchers

75.The purpose of doing the experiment is         .

A.to train dogs for their owners                         B.to help people judge the mood of dogs

C.to help dogs find company                             D.to help people choose their pet dogs

       In 1837, the historian Carlyle made the first recorded use of the word " queue" (排隊). He spoke of the French and their "habit of standing in a queue". Forty years later Paris was the best place to wait in line.

      However, queuing became popular in Britain too. The Second World War was the golden age of queuing, and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy. This was the source of many Second World War jokes:

     Shopkeeper to customer : Excuse me, miss, are you pregnant (懷孕)?

     Customer : Well, I wasn't when I joined the queue.

     Today, according to research in America, we (in Britain) can spend up to 5 years of our lives queuing－ as compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost. But things may be changing. Many people no longer have the patience to stand in a queue. The law of the jungle (叢林) has begun to operate at bus stops, with people using their arms to push others out of the way.

      One way to make life easier is to introduce "queue management". Customers at supermarket cheese counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their turn. And while they wait for their number, they can do a bit of shopping.

      In some booking offices there is also a system telling customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.

One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner (電子識別器) which can read all the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds. If these become popular, queuing in supermarkets may become a thing of the past.

      But some people just like queuing. One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale, and then returned home for breakfast at nine o' clock the next morning without going into the shop.

68. The joke in Paragraph 2 implies that the young woman _______.

A. has been waiting in the queue for a long time         B. doesn't need to stand in the queue

C. enjoys standing in the queue                                 D. has stood in the wrong line

69. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. The British spend more time queuing than looking for lost things.

B. The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.

C. The British are always patient when they wait in line.

D. People queue only when they want to buy something.

70. The British try to solve the problem of queuing by all the following EXCEPT _______.

A. making a law to prevent queuing                         

B. telling the customers the waiting time

C. using numbered tickets to put the customers in order

D. checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner

71. We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. queue management doesn't work well                    B. there is still queuing in England

C. we don't see much queuing in Paris                       D. the French like queuing more than the British
