illed him with sadness. Wherever he went to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South America, Panama, down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palmleaf tents. Instead of silkrobed merchant princes, he found ―Indians‖ who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs. When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493,he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe(凶狠的印第安部落) who literally devoured(吞食) its defeated enemies after a battle. These people were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a word which came to refer, within a few years, to any eater of human flesh(食人部落 ,食人族) .In the similar fashion, the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region, came into English. At times Columbus knew that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia. 65. What is the best title for this text? A.

Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the ―shoptillyoudrop‖ habit as a behavioral disorder similar to pulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress(苦恼 ). ―It bees a problem when you are out of control,‖ psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. ―When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.‖ Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money. Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as monomania. Few studies have been done on the problem. An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is ―clearly not rare‖. He thinks that pulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. ―As psychologists we are interested in nondrug treatments for behavioral difficulties,‖ Mr. Wilson said. Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. ―Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,‖ he said. ―You have longterm problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing longterm problems and are very sensitive to shortterm benefits,‖ he said. The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 onehour weekly lessons and two followup treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management. ―You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what‘s making you feel that way,‖ Mr. Wilson said. 69. What is this article mostly about? A. Signs of pulsive shopping. B. Studies of pulsive shopping. C. parison of pulsive shopping and pulsive eating. D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson. 70.

Which of the following is considered important in treating pulsive shoppers? A. Teaching them to manage their money better. B. Teaching them to understand their emotions. C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank. D. Treating them with right drugs. 72. When the writer says that pulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they . A. feel distressed after their wild shopping B. feel better after treatment from psychologists C. are better able to deal with stress problems D. have a feeling of excitement after shopping D Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty (unpleasant) because of strong winds and sea spray(浪花 ). In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust(阵风) might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them. Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them。
