I had to have that box 37 my second grade Valentines Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didnt love me enough to help me with my 38 .All Saturday I waited 39 and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I 40 an enquiry（询问） about the box might 41 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 42 trouble.Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 43 of different kinds.

Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 48 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 49 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.I answered him with a hug.But inside, 50 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 51 to me, for his world consisted of work only.The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time 52 .On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 53 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 54 through decades of other Valentines Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 55 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.36AannouncedBappearedCservedDsat37AandBhoweverCorDso38AdesignBplanCideaDproject39AsadlyBanxiouslyCdisappointedlyDpatiently40AfoundBrealizedCknewDimagined41AstartBcauseCmarkDproduce42AinvitedBtookCsavedDhad43AboxesBgiftsCpaperDfood44AnewBbigCattractiveDempty45ARelaxationBReliefCCheerDCalm46AbyBatCinDon47AfoldedBpackedCchangedDpressed48AjoinedBattachedClinkedDconnected49AslightBbriefCbroadDconfident50AjoyBfunCinterestDamusement51AmoneyBtimeCwishDhope52AreachedBsetCspentDcame53AacceptBrespectCadmireDrecognize54AcarriedBkeptCspreadDlasted55AeverBevenCyetDstill参考答案3640 ACDBC 4145 BACDB 4650 DCBCA 5155 BDCDA*结束（普陀）German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlins Humholdt UniversityBurda claims that Germanys 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by “a long-time shortage of general 51 “No statistic（统计数字） makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,” he saysOnly 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studiesThats compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 11 per cent of its gross 55 product （GDP） on higher education, compared to 26 percent in the US“ A central reason why so few Germans 56 university degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化） in the 57 of educationThis certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacherThose who have the will and the means often study 58 ,” he saidSince the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supportedFamous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governmentsPrivate funding of universities is 60 in GermanyThis comes from the countrys lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donationsBut now there signs that 61 may be changingProfessor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlins Free University, agrees that 62 money has to be spent on higher educationBut he disputes Burdas claim that German universities are in 63 “A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunificationNow, things have changed for the better,” Lenzen said50AselfBhighChigherDlanguage51AloanBfundingCaidDfinance52AcompletingBrewardingCdemanding ofDapplying for53AsuccessfullyBscarcelyCfail toDtry to54Athanks to Bdue to Cowing to Daccording to55AdefiniteBdigitalCdominantDdomestic56ApersuadeBpursueCseekDrefuse57AdifficultyBquantityCqualityDorganization58AhereBabroadCaloneDat home59AadministeredBestablishedCmanagedDfinanced60ArareBcommonCsufficientDrejected61AtaxBmoneyCattitudesDdecision62AlessBmoreCnoDenough63AprogressBdeclineCneedDdevelopment64AevidenceBoccasionCsituationDcase50-64 CBAAD DBCBD ACBBD*结束（浦东）The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to _50_ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that _51_ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and most important of all _52_. Even people who were not thought to be 53_ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels _54_ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory a dramatic _55_ with traditional beliefs has been _56_ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of _57_ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without _58_ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising _59_ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observers view, stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be _60_ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are _61_ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.What makes a genius then? one may ask. _62_, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that nurture is at least as important as nature. _63_, a supportive environment will do far more for a childs prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find _64_ even if we havent won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. makeB. challengeC. supportD. dismiss51.
