About a week after his 36 , she shared some of her insight (顿悟) with a classroom of students. With a 37 look of reflection on her face, she paused and said, “ 38 class is over, I would like to 39 with all of you a thought that is 40 to class, which I feel very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, appreciate and give of (付出) ourselves and 41 of us know when this fantastic experience will 42 . It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is Gods way of telling us that we must make the most of every 43 day.” Her eyes filled with tears, she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a 44 : From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something 45 to notice. It doesnt have to be something you 46 - it could be a scent (香味) - perhaps of 47 baked bread wafting (飘送) out of someones house, or it could be the 48 of the breeze slightly rustling (使沙沙作响) the leaves in the trees. Please, look for these things, and 49 them. We must make it important to notice them, for at any time, they can all be 50 away.” The class was pletely 51 .

He turned round and saw Walter Grahams car sinking into 8 feet of water of the inground swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Grahams wife, Evelyn, to phone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help, who were at work inside the house. “There was no time for second thoughts,” said Reif, a farmers son. “The only thing to do is to get in the pool.”The car doors were locked. Graham, 73, was unconscious, and his mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the drivers side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater.Finally, some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool, the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger partment.The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasnt breathing and his heart stopped beating, so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescue team arrived in no time. Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital.“These people were getting to Graham through the glass,” said Dr. Jeff. “All three acted without regard for their own safety.” Added Evelyn Graham, “they were truly angels, watching over us”.56.

I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passengers (near) side of the cars. I stopped the car and got out. A motor-cycle (摩托车) had hit my car. The motor-cyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.(2) Mr. Smith (the injured motor-cyclist) On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motor-cycle. I was going slowly because some of the street lights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his light to give a warning. I would not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students. Its no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students? First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has bee a kind of heavy burden of many families, its easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great. Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students. Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students. Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected petition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it. The fierce petition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities. At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.67. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. The petition between HK University and Peking University. B. Higher education in Hong Kong. C. Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities. D. The fall of mainland universities.68. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because _. A. HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities C. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience D. Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation69. From the passage we can see HK universities _. A. didnt mean to enroll top students from mainland B. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there D. didnt expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular70. What does the author mean by saying “Its time to move” in the last paragraph? A. The opportunities e for top students to study abroad. B. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students. C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge HK universities. D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 71 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 72 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 73 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 74 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area - until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 75 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up - we are born with our preference.B. On the other hand, black is depressing.C. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.D. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.E. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.F. Colours do influence our moods-th
