Traveling by subway can be 36 an adventure, especially during peak hours. You have to fight your way into the carriage, and that’s not the end. In the morning, you also have to 37 the cups of milk that could spill on you at any time and sometimes the smells of people’s breakfasts are overwhelming.
To deal with this problem, people _38__ eating, smoking or lying across the seats on the subway can be fined between 50 and 500 yuan, according to a regulation released by the local government. Begging, busking (卖艺), selling and distributing flyers will _39_ to create a more pleasant environment for passengers.
The regulation has brought back an old debate - whether passengers should be allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Some people 40 that the suggested rules limit people’s freedom and make public transportation inconvenient for busy people. Many people use their commute to have breakfast, saving time on their way to work or school.
However, the rules 41 by people who are concerned about personal behavior in public spaces. Being busy doesn’t justify eating in a crowded subway carriage, 42 in bad taste no matter what. This behavior disturbs other passengers.

Violin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. “It’s very clear, “he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.
46. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ______.
|
A．it would allow them access to a better life in the West |
|
B．Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent |
|
C．they wanted their children to enter into the professional fields |
|
D．it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country |
47. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ______.
|
A．enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence |
|
B．treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development |
|
C．encourage people to compete with each other |
|
D．promise talented children high positions |
48. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?
|
A．A natural gift. |
B．Extensive knowledge of music. |
|
C．Very early training. |
D．A prejudice-free society. |

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
49. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A．To predict a heavy rain B．To check the weather forecast
C．To protect people from the rain D．To remind people to take an umbrella
50. What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?
A．His creation was inspired by an experience
B．it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
51. Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A．motor→canopy→sensors B．Sensors→motor→canopy
C．motor→sensors→canopy D．canopy→motor→sensors

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons (见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.
52. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?
A．It was less tiring.
B．It would be faster and safer.
C．Her kids would feel less confined.
D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.
53. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to _____.
A. relax in the fresh air
B. take a deep breath
C. take care of the lamb
C. let the kids play with Banner.
54. What does the author discover from the trio according to Paragraph 6?
A．Freeways are where beauty hides.
B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health.
D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
55. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A．To give herself some time to read.
B．To order some food for them.
C．To play a game with them.
D．To let them cool down.
小题5:What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Charm of the Detour
B．The Road to Bravery
C．Creativity out of Necessity
D．Road Trip and Country Life

The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."
Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
1. What is the concept of the self-help industry?
2. According to the Canadian researchers, positive thinking can actually have the opposite effect, can’t it?
3. If you tell your depressed friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, will he feel better?
4. As a new form of psychotherapy, what does meditation encourage people to do?
5. According to the text, why is negative thinking powerful?
