18.If you didn't look  at them,they weren't there,right?On seeing those in rags on the corner,I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.
     Then,one day,as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer,she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything.I held her hand for five years and then she passed away.She did teach me something.It took a while for her words to really sink in.I can be a slow learner.
      I started by seeing everything,and focused on their presence.One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵).I asked him what would make his day.
"A hot cup of coffee,"he told me.
      I bought him a cup of coffee a stack of pancakes,some eggs,and so on.After our meal Together,I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier.
"A new pair of socks,"he said.
     Socks,really?I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very  moment.I  told  him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing,if he would accept  t.Finally,he agreed.We sat down on a bench,and he started to first take off his boots,then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet.I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them.Taking his new pair of socks,he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me,pools of tears in his eyes.
     Such a simple luxury  (奢侈品)  I  used  to take  for granted.Now,I  always  have  an  extra pair with me in my car.They are always my best pair,just waiting to be given away.

分析 如果你不看他們,他們不在那里,對嗎?在看到那些在角落里的衣著破爛的人時,我只想讓交通燈快點變綠,這樣我就不必再假裝看不見他們了.
后來,有一天,當我正牽著我最好的朋友一個很年輕但很快就會死于乳腺癌的Jane的手時,她告訴我她慢慢地細數(shù)著每一刻,看著這一切.我牽著她的手一起度過了五年,然后她就走了.她的確教會了我一些東西,用了一段時間我才真正理解她的話,我可能是一個遲鈍的學習者.
我開始觀察一切,并專注于他們的存在.有一天,我看到了一個越南老兵.我問他怎么才能讓自己過得幸福的?他告訴我,"就是一杯熱咖啡."
我給他買了一杯咖啡,一堆薄煎餅和一些雞蛋等.我們一起吃后,我問他是否還有其他的東西能讓他的生活更輕松一些.他說,"一雙新襪子."
"襪子,真的嗎?"實際上,我恰巧就在那一刻穿了一雙漂亮的羊毛登山襪.我告訴他,如果他愿意接受,我想把我穿的那雙送給他.后來,他同意了.我們坐在一個長凳上,他開始先脫下他的靴子,然后把他腳上那雙原本白色的黑襪子從腳上脫下來,我想可能會隨著襪子揭下一兩層皮來.他拿著他的新襪子,把襪子放在他臉上,說他們很暖和,還有我的味道,他的眼睛里含著淚水.
這樣一個簡單的奢侈品我以前認為是理所當然的.現(xiàn)在,我總是在車里再額外帶上一雙.他們永遠是我最好的一雙,只是等待被給予.

解答 41選C 細節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)第一段"I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them."(我只想讓交通燈快點變綠,這樣我就不必再假裝看不見他們了.)故選C.
42選D 主旨大意題 第二段講朋友去世以后,他才理解她曾經(jīng)說過的話.故選D.
43選C 細節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)最后一段"Such a simple luxury  (奢侈品)  I  used  to take  for granted.Now,I  always  have  an  extra pair with me in my car."(這樣一個簡單的奢侈品我以前認為是理所當然的)可知,them 即他送給老兵的羊毛登山襪,故選C.
44選D 細節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)最后一句"just waiting to be given away"(等著送給需要的人)可知,故選D
45選C 主旨大意題 本文通過描寫作者從開始無視需要幫助的人,到送給他咖啡與襪子,一直到時刻準備著襪子再送給需要的人可知,他倡導人們不要忘記做好事.故選C.

點評 通過整體閱讀,縷出本文的線索:作者在去世好友的影響下,從開始無視需要幫助的人,到送給他咖啡與襪子,一直到時刻準備著將襪子再送給需要的人;另外還要注意細節(jié)的把握.

6.Passwords consist of a unique sequence(一連串)of characters-letters,numbers,and symbols-required to access personal banking information,secure buildings,computer networks,certain Web sites and more.Each password is different,and only the correct one allows the right of entry.
Before you can choose a password,however,you must know the types of passwords required.First find out if all letters must be lowercase(小寫字母).Should the password consist of letters or numbers only,or are special characters permissible?What is the minimum and maximum length allowed?Your password should be something you can easily remember but something impossible for anyone else to decode or guess.Poor choices include names of people,family or fictional characters,common sequences such as QWERTY on the keyboard or 789456123on the numeric keypad.Other inappropriate choices include your telephone number or birth date,your middle name,your parent's name,your street name,or any other familiar name or number.
The best way to choose a password that is hard to decode,yet easy to remember,is to select something memorable from your past.It could be the name of your grandparents'dog when you were 5 (tippy5).You could form a string of characters using the first letter of each word in a phrase or saying that makes sense to you.For instance,your mother might say,"The sun is shining-So am I."A password from this saying might be (TsisSaI) or (Tsis-SaI).Once you have created a good password,keep it safe.Do not store it in a computer or leave a handwritten copy where others might see it.You could put the number in your address book in a masked form.It is not likely that anyone who found Ted Williams,35N.Sheldon Ave.in your address book would know it contains your password (TW35NSA).
It is best to have different passwords for each system.Since access to sensitive information could open the door for criminals,it is wise to change your passwords frequently.Some authorities suggest changing passwords every three months.

72.Suppose Michael Greenberg,who was born on December 31,1978,is a workaholic.His mother Catherine Evans often reminds him to balance work and relaxation by saying"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."Then which of the following could possibly be the best choice of a password for Michael Greenberg?A
A.a(chǎn)wanpmjadb
B.12311978
C.michaelgreenberg
D.catherineevans
73.How is the third paragraph mainly developed?B
A.By making comparisons.
B.By giving examples.
C.By listing points.
D.By making classifications.

A.a(chǎn) good password
