A
For the person keeping a diary, whatever he experiences and wants to think about, he can write it down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what, in fact, the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable? Is it a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically(特别的，具体的)? The questions add to themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that are best for this experience, the experience becomes even more clear in its shape and meaning.
Beyond the value of the diary as a record, there is the value of the training it gives. The diary keeper begins to pay closer attention to what happens to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of showing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and its possible meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and becomes clear.
36. The writer thinks of keeping a journal as ________.
A. an ordinary habit B. an adventure C. a discovery D. an observation
37. When one keeps a journal, he has to ________.
A. consider the others’ experience

C. focus on his experience
D. write a paper
38. According to the writer, keeping a journal is good for________.
A. observation and expression B. certainty and training

D. how to solve the problems in a journal

China on Saturday opened the world’s most elevated railway (高架铁路) with the first pair of passenger trains traveling across the “roof of the world”.
Two trains set off at Golmud and Lhasa, the two start-up points of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway that is dubbed an “engineering marvel” that has linked Tibet with the rest of China for the first time.
Construction of the Qinghai-Tibet railroad is a long-cherished dream of generations of the Chinese people. A passenger train coded “Qing 1”pulled out from the Golmud station at 11:05 a.m.. Some 1,142 kilometers away, Tibet’s regional capital Lhasa saw off a train bound for Lanzhou, capital of northwest China’s Gansu Province, at 11:12 a.m.. The train, coded “Tibet 2”, carries about 700 passengers in 16 compartments (车厢) and is expected to arrive in Lanzhou in 30 hours.
Norbu, a 28-year-old Tibetan farmer from Gonggar, left home before daybreak to join the celebrations at Lhasa railway station and to catch a glimpse of the train. “I’ll board a train myself sometime to visit the inland areas.”
Trains traveling across the roof of the world, with extra oxygen pumped into the cabins to prevent passengers from suffering altitude sickness, will traverse (穿越) a mountain pass sitting 5,072 meters above sea level as it rises up to the Tibetan plateau, and will drive through the Hoh Xil, China’s largest area of uninhabited land.
The cars were installed (安装) with environment-friendly toilets, wastewater deposit tank and garbage treatment facilities to protect environment along the railroad. All the Chinese characters that appear on the electronic screen in each railway car have been translated into Tibetan and English.
The Qinghai-Tibet railway is 1,956 kilometers long, with 960 km of the track located 4,000 meters above the sea level and the highest point at 5,072 meters. The project is dubbed an “engineering marvel” because people used to think the long-lasting ice and snow along the route could never support tracks and trains.
41. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Qinghai-Tibet Rail Moves Across the “Roof of the World”
B. Construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad is Great
C. Trains May Affect the Environment of Tibet
D. The Roof of the World Welcomes Visitors
42. The train leaving for Lanzhou at 11:12 a.m. on July 1 was supposed to arrive there at_______.

C. 15:12 p.m. on July 2 D. 17:12 p.m. on July 2
43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All passengers traveling across the “roof of the world” will suffer altitude sickness.
B. The Hoh Xil will attract more visitors soon.
C. The facilities on trains of the “roof of the world” do no pollution to the environment.
D. All the train staff can speak Tibetan.
44. The last paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. Tibetans’ dream came true B. the completion of the project is great
C. the length of the project D. the natural conditions of the project

In a moment of personal crisis (危机), how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced: “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again, “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno,” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, so I could say casually, “Just to watch him die.” But nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver: “Reno? That is in Nevada?”
Taxi drivers were uniformly（一致地）sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask（面具）and holding a stuffed (塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing (招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb（一流的）assistance I received.
“Is anyone following us?”
“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.
“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”
“$25,000?” he asked.
“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”
“No, man. I work 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”
As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”
“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with money -- taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
49. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.
A. he was not caring about the killing
B. he was frightened to hear what the writer said
C. he thought the writer was a criminal
D. he thought the writer was crazy
50. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride ?
A. He didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.
B. He was in a hurry to go home and relax.
C. The place was far away.
D. He thought the writer was going to kill himself.
51. The underlined word “reluctance” in the last paragraph most probably means________.
A. anger B. unwillingness C. opportunity D. eagerness
52. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Honesty of taxi drivers in New York.
B. Taxi riders’ awareness of possible dangers.
C. Taxi drivers’ attitudes towards riders.
D. Importance of the education of taxi drivers.

HONG KONG, Feb 2 (Reuters Life!) – They’ll huff, they’ll puff -- and Hong Kong Disney hopes The Three Little Pigs will bring the house down this Chinese New Year.

Hong Kong Disney will be decked out in splendid golds and reds in the run up to this important holiday. The park will also have firecrackers and peach blossoms to ward off bad luck.
Mickey, Goofy, Donald and the gang will wear traditional Chinese clothing during the festivities which run from February 2 to March 4th.
The pigs are part of a marketing campaign aimed at restoring the park’s reputation which was ruined last Chinese New Year when overcrowding made officials lock the doors, barring scores of mainland tourists with valid tickets from entering.
