Because it is not far away, I could go home for lunch and find my mother 36 for me every day. At that time, I did not consider this a luxury（人生难得的享受） 37 today it certainly would be. I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, and the 38 monitors（监督者）. So I never 39 that this hardworking and intelligent woman, 40 had had a career before I was born and would return to a career, would spend every lunch hour just with me. When the noon bell rang, I 41 race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me with a look that suggested I was the only 42 thing she had on her mind. For this, I am forever 43 . One lunchtime , when I was in the third grade, will 44 me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had patiently helped me practice my 45 . But no matter how 46 I recited them at home, 47 I stepped on stage, every word 48 from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She 49 that she had written a narrators (解说员，旁边者)part to the play, and asked me to 50 roles. Her words, kindly spoken, 51 hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didnt tell my mother what had happened when I went home that day. But she sensed my 52 , and instead of helping me practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to 53 in the yard. My mother bent down by one of the elm（榆树） trees, “I think Im going to 54 all these dandelions （蒲公英）, ” she said, “From now on, well have only roses in this garden. ” “But I like dandelions, ” I protested（抗议）. “Yes.

I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I missed up the whole piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the centre of the room. It had 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golfball-sized lump in my throat (喉咙) and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was being more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practised this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if asked.Although at one point I accidently played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically(自动地).My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned forward and concentrated carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: dont make a mistake when you turn the page!Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind, and was proud of my “page-turning” feat(业绩). I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.56. Before the writer gave her first performance, _.A. she could see nothing but her own shaking hands.B. her parents encouraged her, saying, “Good job!”C. she missed up the whole piece.D. her heart beat very fast.57. The underlined word “demanding” in the sixth paragraph means “_”.A. properly-numbered B. necessary for a pianoC. needing great attention D. easy to a person58. The underlined sentence “I swallowed the golfball-sized lump” shows that_.A. the writer was eager to play B. the writer managed to calm downC. the writer had put something in her mouth. D. there was something wrong with her throat.59. The writers experience proved that _.A. failure is the mother of success.B. the heaven stands by the good girl.C. a journey is started by taking the first step.D. to keep an army for a thousand days is to use it for an hour. BDo you want to know something about the history of weather? Dont look at the sky. Dont look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are closed together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand-no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why? A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man.60. It is understood that in a favorable climate _. A. tree rings grow together B. tree rings grow far apart C. trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall D. people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico61. The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell _. A. whether in that area the climate was favorable or not B. whether a particular tree was healthy or not C. whether people took good care of the trees or not D. how old the trees were62. By studying the dead tree rings, the scientist discovered _. A. where the people had left B. what the people used to eat C. how the people leftD. why the people had to leave63. The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because _. A. they had cut down all the trees B. there were many trees there C. they had no water D. bad weather stopped the growth of trees64. The main idea of the passage is _. A. tree rings reflect the history of weather and the history of man B. destroying tree will do man no good C. studying tree ring is the only way to know the history of weather D. man shouldnt cut so many trees CWele to the National Maritime（海洋的）MuseumThe National Maritime Museum is the largest of its kind in the world, with over two million items in its collections.

A. the museum runs a school and has students of its ownB. students can receive different kinds of education hereC. part of school education has to be done in the museumD. school programs are only run at weekends and on holidaysDBritish men are abandoning（抛弃，放弃） their stiff (冷漠的、僵硬的)upper lips but still do not wear their hearts on their sleeves like Americans, a new survey showed. When it es to strong emotion, the once serious British are now happy to shed tears quite openly.“Thirty percent of all British males have cried in the last month. That is a very high figure,” said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center which took the emotional temperature of Britain. “Only two percent said they could not remember when they last cried,” the head of the independent research group said.Long gone is the “No Tears Were British” time when emotion was considered distinctly bad form. “In our survey of 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their father cry. Now it is twice as many,” he told reporters. “Seventy-seven percent of men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable.” Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a sad movie, book or TV program. Self-pity got 17 percent crying. Nine percent cried at weddings.From the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve（含蓄缄默）, laughing at “excitable foreigners” who show no self-control.Marsh argued the divide was still there: “We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it es to the actual display of emotions.”“But we are clearly changing. What we take as typical British reserve has significantly faded（消失）”Womens battle for equal rights has certainly had an effect both in the workplace and at home. “Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting(相互影响) with women on equal terms much more than a generation ago. They have to relate to the opposite sex. Women bee more man-like and men bee more female. That transfers into the work place too,” Marsh said.68. The underlined phrase wear their hearts on their sleeves means _. A. wear their sleeves properlyB. express their feeling openlyC. put their heart into their workD. have a heart-to-heart discussion69. The British used to think crying in public _. A. naturalB. sensibleC. unacceptableD. important70. British men cried most _.A. over a sad film B. over self-pityC. at weddingD. at graduation71. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly discussed _.A. the womens struggle for equal right B. one of the causes of the changeC. interacting between men and womenD. the changes of womenEThe so-called post-90s generation have bee even much “cooler” than the 1980s group, for they can speak “Martian language”, a difficult code-like language created by themselves. And they probably think it very original and smart.The idea of this language is to prevent the authorities- parents and teachers- from understanding what is said.Ms. Li, mother of a 15-year-old girl, logged(登录) onto her daughters online space and found lines of codes, mixed English, Japanese and half-finished Chinese characters, which looked pletely meaningless to her. Her daughter told her that it was “Martian language” and her peers all used it.The new language is being very popular in online spaces- so much so that even some translating software has been created to translate the normal language into “Martian language”.A 14-year-old netizen, nicknamed “S._Tangguo”, explained that the language could be created by anyone. “At first, I just copied the language form other peoples articles. Later , I began to create some words by myself. I split (拆分)some Chinese characters, or use words that have similar pronunciations to interchange with each other, or even add some English, Japanese or Korean words into my article, and that makes the new language. My classmates all chat in Martia
