37、she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.</p><

38、;p>　　Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought he

39、r a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。</p><p>　　Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that ver

40、y day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.</p><p>　　Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encou

41、rage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.</p><p>　　Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had

42、finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole lift. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard,

43、M. D.(醫(yī)學(xué)博士).</p><p>　　The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me

44、that I could make a difference.”</p><p>　　Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know ho

45、w to teach until I met you.”</p><p>　　41. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?</p><p>　　A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.</p><p>　　B. She asked the children to play w

51、></p><p>　　The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countri

52、es since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.</p><p>　　Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discov

53、er whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.</p>

54、<p>　　He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are ve

55、ry, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”</p><p>　　“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 sh

56、e would have been hears saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”</p><p

57、>　　The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch

58、. (傳統(tǒng)火雞午餐).</p><p>　　The results were published (發(fā)表) in the Journal of Phonetics.</p><p>　　45. The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.</p><p>　　she h

59、as been Queen for many years</p><p>　　she has a less upper-class accent now</p><p>　　her speeches are familiar to many people</p><p>　　her speeches have been recorded for 50 years&l

60、t;/p><p>　　46. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?</p><p>　　A. “duaty” B. “citee” C. “hame” D. “l(fā)orst”</p><p>　　47. We may infer fro

61、m the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _________.</p><p>　　A. speech sounds B. Christmas customs</p><p>　　C. TV broadcasting D. personal messages<

62、/p><p>　　48. What is the text mainly about?</p><p>　　A. The relationship between accents and social classes.</p><p>　　B. The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV. </p><p>　　C.

63、 The changes in a person’s accent.</p><p>　　D. The recent development of the English language.</p><p><b>　　C</b></p><p>　　Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to dec

64、eive (欺騙)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.</p><p>　　For example, some might say, “I just won a h

65、undred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”</p><p>　　This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discov

66、er that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!</p><p>　　He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a

67、 half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.</p><p>　　Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million

68、 jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(對手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been

69、, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”</p><p>　　Advertisers(廣告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead

70、you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Y

71、ucky Company.</p><p>　　This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.</p><p>　　49. How much did the lottery winner

72、lose?</p><p>　　A. One hundred dollars. B. Two hundred dollars.</p><p>　　C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.</p><p>　　50. We may infer that the author believe

73、s people should _______.</p><p>　　A. buy lottery tickets</p><p>　　B. make use of half-truths</p><p>　　C. not take anything at face value</p><p>　　D. not trust the Yucky

74、 Company</p><p>　　51. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?</p><p>　　A. final increase B. big advantage</p><p>　　C. large share D. total

75、saving</p><p>　　52. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?</p><p>　　False statements are easy to see through.</p><p>　　Half-truths are often used to misl

76、ead people.</p><p>　　Doctors like to act in advertisements.</p><p>　　Advertisements are based on facts.</p><p><b>　　D</b></p><p>　　Something in chocolate co

77、uld be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.</p><p>　　Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than cod

78、eine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.</p><p>　　The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatm

79、ent. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful(有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.</p>&

80、lt;p>　　Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The rese

81、archers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.</p><p>　　The team found that, when the volunteers were given

82、 theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the

83、placebo.</p><p>　　The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity(神經(jīng)活動), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no

84、side effects such as sleepiness.</p><p>　　53. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.</p><p>　　A. cannot be as effective as codeine</p><p>　　B. can be harmful to people’s

85、 health</p><p>　　C. cannot be separated from chocolate </p><p>　　D. can be a more effective cure for coughs</p><p>　　54. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?</p>
