I didnt take it too seriously until early in March when he sent me a message asking if I was going that month.So far the first time in years, I drove there that Saturday morning, parked in the lot, walked up the stairs and into a place that I had promised Id never step foot into years before. It was kind of interesting being there. The place looked exactly the same, same paint on the walls, same type of tables and chairs. They could have been doing a Parents Day Breakfast like back in the day when I was a student. However, the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔子), the granddaughter of one of the organizers, and the little kids having their photographs taken, made me stay in the present. The school is much smaller now, less than 400 attend and its no longer the high school sports powerhouse that it was in the 1980s. Yet, as I went downstairs and walked onto the gym floor, I did see all the banners again, and some boys playing basketball under a circle.It was much later in the day and I was excited to meet so many classmates from high school. The conversation moved on from one topic to another. Toward the end, we started talking about our teachers numerous health problems, and how the physics teacher died.Sometimes its good to look back, or step back into a place you spent every weekday at, to see how far youve come. I dont regret spending time with some of my old classmates. It was a good thing and an opportunity and Im glad I didnt miss.26.

You want to give him or her the best. However, if you and your partner both have to return to work shortly after your baby was born, it can be difficult to decide where your baby should go during those hours of the day. If you ask the right questions, you may find the decision is easier than you expected.Daycare might be the best and most-used choice for working parents. Daycares are often great places for kids because they are surrounded by others children of their own age, and the people who work at daycares have to be experienced in early childhood development. This means your child is really being taught by a trained teacher in her field. They know what your child needs during the time he or she is there. Also, it is often less expensive to put your child in a daycare because there are several children in the room. One-to-one time is almost always the most expensive choice. However, this means that the teachers attention may be divided between several children so, instead of being able to giving your child her entire attention, she will have to share her time between many children. This can be a major drawback when thinking about where your child should go during the day.If you have a family member who isnt working and is willing to watch your child, this can by the most inexpensive choice for you to consider. Oftentimes, grandparents who are staying home are willing to take on the child so you can go to work. This is a great choice for working parents who are looking to save money. Your relatives love your child almost as much as you do, so you can trust that your baby is being taken care of. Also, the babys grandparents have already raised children successfully, therefore, they know about what children need. However, youve surely heard stories of grandparents spoiling children.31.

The night watchman wouldnt admit him, even though Edison was still at work upstairs. The reporter, Remsen Crawford, said he needed to get Edisons reaction to the news that seven of his inventions “would become available to the public” when their patents(专利) ran out at midnight.The watchman conveyed the request on to Edison, who replied, “Go back. Tell that fellow that I say Mr. Edison has never used his inventions alone and never expects to in this world. So the ending of a patent has no effect upon the wealth of an inventor.”Hearing Edisons response, Crawford wrote another note: What do you mean bynever used alone? Must see you.”Eventually the great inventor admitted Crawford and gave him this statement: “In this country an inventor cant stop people copying his inventions. The moment he invents something, therell be pirates(盗版) rising up on all sides and calling it their own.”Thirty years later, Crawford was back at Edisons laboratory, again asking about patents and the money he got from them. Crawford asked him, “You have invented many things, including electric lighting. Why arent you the richest man in the world today?”Edisons reply: “Nearly $10,000,000,000, they tell me, is invested in modern industries which developed from ideas included in my inventions and my patents. A billion dollars or so may be the annual total income to workers in fields connected with my inventions and patents. But I have made very little profit from my inventions. In my lifetime I have taken out 1,180 patents up to date. These patents have cost me more than they have returned me. I have made money through the introduction and sale of my products as a maker, not as a inventor.”Edison was one of the few fortunate inventors who knew that great engineering, on its own, never earned anything. The success of any technology is due to its business model and protection of its copyright. Unfortunately, Edison said, the US had a “miserable system” for protecting inventions.36. From the first paragraph Crawford visited Edison to .A. inform him of the news B. see how hard Edison worked C. know what Edison was inventing D. find out Edisons response to the news37.

According to the passage, Edison made money by .A. holding his parents B. selling his products C. making inventions D. providing his ideas39. It is implied in the passage that in Edisons time .A. America had no patent protection laws B. his inventions were not highly valuedC. patents benefited inventors little D. applying for patents was easy40. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Edison and his patents B. Edison, the greatest inventorC. The patent system in America D. Edisons way of making moneyDThe largest shark known to us, Megalodon, is extinct. Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon, commonly known as Megalodon, is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide. Fairly recently, there has been some guesswork about whether it is extinct or just out of reach. But few people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean.There are many known “Living Fossils”: Coelacanth, Sea Cucumbers(海参), Sea Urchins(海胆), Lobsters(龙虾), Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea urchins are not really looked on as anything amazing. Theyve been around for thousands of years or more, and are easily accessible to us. What if they werent accessible and yet still existed? We would label them extinct. The discovery of a live Coelacanth, a fish long believed extinct, challenged some scientists long-held beliefs on extinction. There have been recent discoveries of unbelievably large squid(乌贼), and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists.In the 1960s the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines. The network, known as the Sound Surveillance(监视) System, still lies deep below the oceans surface in a layer of water known as the “deep sound channel”. The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAAs Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. One sound, identified in 1977 by US Navy “spy” sensors, was strange. It was obviously a sea animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid, but no one is sure. It was named “Bloop”. Could it be Megalodon? If Megalodon is still alive down in the bottom of the ocean, we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same, thats for sure!41. The following is commonly known EXCEPT .A. Megalodon, the largest shark, is extinct B. Megalodon is not extinct but just out of reachC. Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wideD. Megalodon lived several million years ago42. What makes scientists doubt about the belief that Megalodon is extinct?A. The discovery of many “Living Fossils”. B. The discovery of the fossils of lobsters.C. The discovery of a live Coelacanth. D. The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins.43. What was the intended purpose of underwater microphones?A. To listen for changes in ocean structure.B. To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity.C. To make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean.D. To follow the track of the Soviet warship under water.44. What was special in their recorded sounds?A. A strange, powerful animal sound was heard. B. A big whales sound was heard.C. A sea monsters sound was heard. D. A giant squids sound was heard.45. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Scientists discoveries always change peoples beliefs.B. There are too many secrets to be discovered.C. Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean.D. The “deep sound channel” prevents sound waves from traveling far.二、信息匹配阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先请阅读下列世界著名女科学家的科研成就的提示性文字及图片：A.

Her work was similar to Jane Goodalls research on chimpanzees.以下是这些女科学家科研成就的简介。请将相关简介与世界著名女科学家的成就提示性文字及图片匹配起来。46. During World War II, she conducted experiments from a home laboratory, studying the growth of nerve fibers in chicken embryos(胚胎). In September 1946, she accepted an invitation to Washington University in St. Louis. Although the initial invitation was for one semester, she stayed for thirty years. It was there that she did her most important work: separating the nerve growth factor from observations of certain cancerous tissues that cause extremely rapid growth of nerve cells in 1952.47. She was part of a group of three remarkable researchers to study great apes(猿) in their natural environments. When her photograph appeared on the cover of National Geographic Magazine in January 1970, she became very popular, bringing massive publicity(宣传) to her cause of saving the mountain gorilla from extinction, as well as convincing the general public that gorillas are not as fierce as they are sometimes shown in movies and books. She made a lot of discoveries about gorillas in her life.48. Her 34-year career included developing computer code that analyzed alternative power technologies, supported Centaur, determined solar, wind and energy projects. Her energy assignments included studies to determine the life use of storage batteries. Her computer applications have been used to identify energy conversion(转换) systems that offer the improvement over commercially available technologies. Her work contributed to the 1997 flight to Saturn, which was launched by the Centaur.49. In 1969 she completed her Ph. D. from Cambridge University, where she worked with her advisor Antony Hewish and others to construct a rapid telescope to study quasars(类星体). Using the radio telescope, she found strange radio pulses coming from a single point in the sky. After a period of confusion about what was causing the pulses, she and her colleagues confirmed that pulsars, as the sources of pulses came to be known, are rayed by rapidly spinning(旋转) neutron stars.50. She graduated from Hunter College in 1937 and New York University in 1941. Later, she worked as an assistant at a big drug company. Working with George H. Hitchings, she used the differences in biochemistry between normal human cells and pathogens(病原体) to design drugs that could kill or stop the reproduction of particular pathogens without harming the host cells. She developed a great number of new drugs, including a powerful drug against a deadly disease, for which
