阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36~55各题 所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to 36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 37 we realized we were 38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new (崭新) $ 20 bill. I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed(吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn\'t 44 over it. I just couldn\'t go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安) that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 47 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don\'t you use the 48 from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 49 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don\'t think bout it ”.
I have learned two things from this 51 . Maybe I was a fool for 52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 53 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 54 up with you.
This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Does your cordless phone crackle (噼噼响) , fade, or go dead when you move only a few feet from the base? If so, we recommend that you try a Techtalk cordless phone.

Range: Techtalk provides up to four times the range of an ordinary cordless phone. It will go anywhere you need it throughout your home in your yard, even around the Block.
Security: Some cordless phones allow other cordless phone users to overhear (偷听) your conversations. Not Techtalk. We guarantee (保证) complete privacy whenever you talk to your friends, family , or business associates.

The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a script from a doomsday(世界末日,最后审判日)movie. Many climatologists and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a concerted global effort to rein in greenhouse gas emissions.
In the decades to come, Asia -- home to more than half the world\'s 6.3 billion people -- will lurch(突然倾斜)from one climate extreme to another, with impoverished farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.
"It\'s not a pretty picture," said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes to weather patterns are already occurring and there is enough excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come.
Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse are likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread humanitarian crises. (人道主义危机)
According to predictions, glaciers will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become more intense and insect and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.
All this comes on top of rising populations and spiraling demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental degradation(环境恶化) such as deforestation(森林砍伐) and pollution will likely magnify the impacts of climate change. In what could be a foretaste of the future, Japan was hit by a record 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill. The year before, a winter cold snap(寒流,寒潮,骤冷)and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India.
59. Which of the following has the similar meaning to rein in?
A. slow down, control B. increase, enhance
C. bring in D. take in
60. According to the passage, which one is true?
A. The changes of weather will never lead to mass migration and widespread humanitarian crises.
B. The number of the population in Asia is the largest of all continents.
C. Global warming and changes will happen in the near future if we don’t take any actions.
D. Deforestation and pollution will not magnify the impacts of climate change.
61. The reason why glaciers will melt faster is that
A. there is more and more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
B. there is less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
C. the weather changed suddenly.
D. The reason is still unknown.
62. This passage is mainly about .
A. what kind of weather we l |
