The United States has all sorts of geography, from deserts to beaches, mountains to flatlands. These conditions help create all sorts of weather: hot, wet, dry, mild and so on. Sometimes all in one day!
71 But others have dry air, so the heat does not feel so bad. In winter, parts of the country get cold and snowy while others stay warm and sunny. This is the difference between, for example, New York City on the East Coast and Los Angeles on the West Coast. Yet even the East Coast has its warm places in winter, like Florida.
72 The Pacific coast has smaller temperature changes, and calmer conditions, than along the Atlantic. Weather in the central and northeastern parts of the country is affected by cold air from Canada and warm air from the Caribbean. 73
74 The hurricane season is, officially, from June to November. The weather service says the United States gets more severe weather than any other country.
You know, we do not mean to scare you with all this talk about bad weather. The country also has lots of really nice weather. If you ever plan a trip to the United States, just be sure to read the local weather reports. 75

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? ___71____. Yet a very young child – or even an animal, such as a pigeon — can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.
____72____. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. ____73____. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Airport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. ___74___ . Bookworms, conservatives, military types – people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. ____75____ .
71________ 72________ 73________ 74________ 75________
A. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” look like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.
B. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad buys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
C. We also tell people apart by how they behave.
D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.
E. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality.
F. Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.
G. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.

___71___
Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways we can protect ourselves when we travel.
72 People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.
Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car can really hurt or even kill you. 73 The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — the type of crash that kills the most drivers — when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy. 74 Effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.
Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. 75 Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties （处罚）for drinking and driving.
A. How to drive safely?
B. You are safer in a large car.
C. How to protect ourselves in the highway?
D. Air bags are not installed in all cars.
E. That’s why safety belts should be worn.
F. Drunk driving is the most serious problem.
G. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes.

Linguistic(语言学的) Puzzles
How did language begin? What was the world’s first language? Do all languages come from one original language? 51 .
In the 4th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik I, an Egyptian King, wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was. 52 . He told his servant to find two newborn babies. When the servant had found them, the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人) and said, “Keep these babies with the goats. Take care of them, but do not talk to them. Listen to any words that they say.” The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone. He said, “The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world.”
53 . He told the king, who asked his scholars about this word. They told him that the Phrygians, who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread “becos.” The king said, “Then Phrygian is the oldest language.” Today we know that the king’s conclusion was wrong. We don’t know why the children said “becos” .
54 . Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same “family” and that they started from the same parent language, Proto-Indo-European. Linguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BC. Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits.
55 . Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change? Why does language change? If you like solving mysteries, historical linguistics may be the job for you.
A. Nowadays, we study the origin of language more scientifically
B. He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea
C. The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him
D. Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families
E. People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2,000 years
F. One day, while the babies were babbling to each other, the shepherd heard them say “becos”
G. Linguists have classified many language families, and they are still trying to categorize others

【吉林普通中学2012-2013学年度高中毕业班上学期期末复习检测】
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 71 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 72
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 75 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

【黑龙江哈师大附中2013届高三上学期期末】
Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time． Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr． Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．
1． Laceration （裂口）
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．71 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep． However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention．
2． Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．72 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．
3． Bleeding
73 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的） bleeding． This means the blood flows steadily from the injury． The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound． In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to rive minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的）bleeding． 74
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection． Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water． 75 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．
A． How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．
B． That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip
C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible．
D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty in opening the mouth．
E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．
F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．
G．The length-is usually not as important as the depth．
【答案】G B A C E

【河南豫南九校2012-2013学年下学期高三第一次联考】
Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 71
1. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.72 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.
2. 73
Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.
3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.
Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.74
It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:75. It's never what you are, but what you do.
Wait for opportunities to appear
Seize the moment to act on your goals
Here are things successful people do differently
Next I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success
You don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful one
Check your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal
Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 71
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 74 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
