Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when she went to pick up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson saw the nickel – gray Toyota Camry and used her daughter’s key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home.

When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when police couldn’t find a record of it, they took a theft report.

The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn’t hers. She found Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and looked up his phone number on the Website for the university.

When she told Vansant the car was in her driveway, “It sounded real fishy at first, like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom,” Vansant said.

He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to a police report, the case was closed “because of mistaken car identity.” Anderson wasn’t charged.

Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief.” “Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition as well- so high-five for Toyota, I guess,” he said.

Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong said key technology wasn’t as sophisticated as two decades ago, and there were so many ways to cut a key, making it possible for such a mix – up to occur. He said the company now has a microchip embedded (嵌入) in the keys for 90 percent of its vehicles that allows them to start only with the correct key.

56．We can learn from the story that Kate Anderson .

A．was an experienced but unlucky thief

B．took Vansant’s car away by chance

C．could unlock any car with her special key

D．was accused of theft and put into prison

57．When Charlie Vansant received the phone call, he .

A．ran as fast as he could to the police station

B．felt someone was playing a joke on him

C．suspected he would be forced to pay for the car

D．went directly to Anderson and collected his car

58．Who should be responsible for the accident?

A．Toyota Camry. B．Charlie Vansant. C．Toyota Company. D．The police.

59．According to the passage, it can be learned that .

A．the daughter is more honest than her mother

B．many thefts occurred because the same keys were used

C．Toyota Camry is a kind of car, which is easier to unlock

D．the car producers should pay more attention to car identity

60．Toyota spokesman tends to tell us .

A．their keys won’t be easy to mix up B．they have more ways to lock cars

C．they will make keys fit vehicles well D．key technology is more complex

A new system that scans customers’ fingerprints and subtracts the grocery bill from their bank accounts has taken supermarkets in Germany by storm. Stores, school canteens and even bars are picking it up.

The Edeka supermarket chain is the first rtail business in Germany to use the new system. “Almost a quarter of our customers pay with their fingers,” said an employee at the headquarters. Edeka has tried the system at 70 of its supermarkets. It says it will introduce it as 200 others because customers like it.

“At first we thought that only the young who really keep up with the latest technology would be interested, but we were wrong,” said Stefan Sewoester from IT Werke. “Almost two – thirds of the people who use the system are 40 and older,” he said.

IT Werke, a computer company, is one of the pioneers of fingerprint payment software in Germany. It has helped about 150 shops, canteens and bars to put in the fingerprint scanning machines. Each costs about 2,000 euros.

To sign up for the service, customers must have their fingerprints taken and leave their addresses and banking details with the shop. The shop then takes the cost of goods directly out of the customer’s bank account.

“It is especially a good thing for elderly people. Now they do not have to remember their pin to pay with their bank cards, or to scratch around for their glasses or cash.” Sewoester said.

The stores benefit from the system too. It saves more than time in the check – out line. It also cuts out the hidden costs of accepting electronic card payments.

61．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Pay with Fingers. B．New Development in Technology.

C．Supermarket Revolution. D．Change in Computer Software.

62．According to the passage, the fingerprint system .

A．was invented by the Edeka supermarket chain

B．is preferred by most American customers

D．has caused a payment revolution in Germany

63．To apply to pay with fingers, customers are required to do all of the following except .

A．have their fingerprints taken

B．leave their addresses

C．have their phones connected with computers

D．give the shop information about the bank accounts

64．Why do elderly people benefit much from the fingerprint machine?

A．They don’t like to pay in cash.

B．They are always forgetful.

C．They will spend less time on shopping.

D．The always fail to find their bankcards.

65．What do we know by inference from the passage?

A．Fewer shops will try the new software because of the cost.

B．IT Werke should be the largest computer company in Germany.

C．The new service requires certain personal information.

D．The new change in payment only benefits elderly people.

Quality after – school programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and other high – risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.

The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime, drug use, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting the following fields of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.

Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after-school programs can make a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage（时量）matters —young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, skill building meaningful involvement, expression suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment, encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs have promising future, how they are designed and run matters.

66．Quality after – school programs can not help the students .

A．have fewer attendances B．improve academic performance

C．have high scores on tests D．decrease high – risk teen behavior

67．According to the passage, a good after – school program is usually determined by .

a. its unique opportunities b. safe and fair environments

c. work staff characteristics d. students’ willingness and family backgrounds

A．a, b, c, d B．a, b, c C．a, c, d D．b, c, d

68．The main intention of the writer is to .

A．present the problems with quality after – school programs

B．warn school leaders of quality after – school programs

C．compare quality after – school programs with bad ones

D．give an introduction of quality after – school programs

69．The attitude of the writer towards after – school programs is that of .

A．caution B．compromise C．support D．disapproval

D

Mosquitoes do not randomly perch on just anybody, but choose their victims selectively, searching for the most appealing humans, according to a study released recently.

“Mosquitoes use odor (气味) to sort attractive people from the unattractive to find those that are the most tasty,” said University of Florida entomologist, Jerry Butler, in a statement.

In a study of what attracted mosquitoes to people, Butler said he worked off a theory that they go for humans who provide the richest source of cholesterol (胆固醇) and B vitamins that they don’t produce themselves.

Butler found one sure way to stop attracting them – stop breathing. He said that mosquitoes can identify an attractive human dinner target far away. When human beings breathe, they send out carbon dioxide and other odors that travel through the air, which seems a dinner bell, telling mosquitoes that a warm meal is within range.

When a mosquito is trailing an attractive target, it zigzags following the breath plume until it makes contact, landing on the skin and patiently searches for the right spot to insert its stylet for an 8 – to – 10 second feeding session.

Bathing helps reduce the attractiveness of sticky bodies but strangely enough after – bath products do not. Skin care products may improve a person’s appearance, but are also tantalizing to mosquitoes.

Butler said that he conducted the research in order to explore the tastes of mosquitoes and help humans avoid mosquito – borne diseases.

71．The passage is most probably taken from .

A．a science magazine B．a doctor’s brochure

C．a survival handbook D．a tourist guide

72．At a garden party, mosquitoes will most likely target on the person who .

A．is sweating much B．likes wearing perfumes

C．is suffering heart attacks D．has high cholesterol levels

73．Which shows the mosquito has the most highly developed sense of smell?

A．It searches for the most appealing human being.

B．It can sort attractive people from the unattractive.

C．It can identify a human target far away.

D．It can find out people who are sweating.

74．What does the underlined word “tantalizing” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Demanding. B．Appealing.

C．Admiring. D．Promising.

75．What can you conclude about the mosquito?

A．It is a selective hunter. B．It is a fierce hunter.

C．It is a hunter of strong smells. D．It is a hunter of the night.

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。（请注重问题后的词数要求）

LONDON—Middle age is miserable for many, according to a study using data from 80 countries showing that depression （a feeling of sadness and hopelessness） is most common among men and women in their 40s．

The British and U．S．researchers found that happiness for people in 72 countries ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe follows a U-shaped curve（曲线）：Life begins cheerful before turning tough during middle age and then returning to the joys of youth in the golden years．

“For the average persons in the modern world，the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year,’’ Andrew Oswald at Britain’s Warwick University, who co-led the study, said．“Only in their 50s do people emerge from this low period．”

About eight nations---mostly in the developing world—did not follow the U-shaped pattern for happiness levels，Oswald and his colleague David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College in the United States wrote．

“It happens to men and women，to single and married people，to rich and poor, and to those with and without children,” Oswald said．“Nobody knows why we see this consistency．’’

One possibility may be that people realize they won’t achieve many of their ambitions at middle age，the researchers said．

Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die，people begin to_________ and embrace（拥抱）life once more，researchers speculated．

The study’s findings generally reflect previous research that shows people gain a sense of satisfaction as they age，said Laura L．Carstensen，director of the Center on Longevity at Stanford University．

“Shrinking time horizons tend to change people’s goats．”she said．“We predict that people will experience more emotional satisfaction as they age．”

76．What is the best title of the passage? ﹝Please answer within 10 words．﹞

___________________________________________________________________________

77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

At the beginning people are happy, then people are in low spirits in their middle age but happy again as they age．

78．Please fill in the blank in the seventh paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the

sentence．（Please answer within 10 words．）

79．What are the possible ways to fight against depression?（Please answer within 30 words,）
