There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go （放手）．As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the __36__ side of this line．When I hold __37__ the apron strings （围裙带） connecting us, Nicole, eager to __38__ independence, tries to loosen my grasp．What results is a （an） __39__ mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango．
For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
Mother’s question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced placement class （大学预修课程） so that you can earn college credit?”
Daughter’s __40__: “No, I’m not interested in that．”………
I bit my lip a few times and Nicole shot me a few glares．
Two months ago, she was __41__ to a great university．However, I was still the mother having a __42__ time letting go．The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and __43__ courses which I thought looked good．We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face __44__ with excitement．“I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said．“Already?” I was astonished, __45__ she should have discussed it with me．I examined the schedule．Nicole hadn’t taken a （an） __46__ one of the courses I had suggested．Every course she had chosen __47__ suited her interests．Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a __48__ mind and the ability to shape her future．She no longer needed her mother __49__ every decision she made．I felt proud, though still a bit __50__．
I __51__ the lessons carefully．Nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years: __52__, sympathy, and hard work．There have been a few holes along the way．__53__, she is well-equipped and eager to __54__ the future．The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the __55__ we both needed．

答案
36---55 BACAD DCBAB DCABC ACCAD
解析
36．B 意思是“恰当的”，表示作者不知这样做才好，很难把握适当的尺度。
37．A hold onto “抓住不放”。
38．C keep一词干扰性很强，但keep independence“保持独立”，则表明女儿一直是独立的。这与母亲抓住女儿不放的语境不符。故填taste表明女儿要体会一下独立的滋味。
39．A 女儿想独立，而母亲放心不下，母女相争，自然是很令人“尴尬的”。
40．D response “回答”，上文有Mother’s question为依据。
41．D be accepted to “被录取到”
42．C 上文的“…doesn’t know when to let go”是提示。
43．B 作者把她认为重要的课程画上线，意思是让女儿去选。
44．A light up（使）变得容光焕发或振奋
45．B 用thinking表作者的想法，不能用hoping“希望”。
46．D single “单一的”，起加强语气的作用。女儿竟然一个她建议的课程都没选！
47．C 所选的完全都是符合她自己兴趣的课程。exactly完全地；全然
48．A sharp mind敏捷的头脑 ,与mature, capable共同描绘女儿。
49．B 女儿已经长大（mature）并且很能干（capable）,因此不需母亲去评价她所作出的决定。agree 不及物。
50．C but一词的转折决定此处应该将excited排除。根据上下文，应该填sad。看到女儿能自立了，当母亲的自然会骄傲，但又感到有点伤感。
51．A 因为宾语是lesson（教训）自然应该填review “回顾”。
52．C responsibility 责任感。
53．C 前一句说沿途有一些坎坷，空后面是她已经为未来做好了充分准备。所以此处应该填具有转折意义的词，故填yet“然而”。
54．A此题可用排除法做。填embrace（拥抱），符合上下文。表明女儿已经准备好拥抱未来，完全可以独立生活了。
55．D母亲反思相通了，自然要充分放手，就会给母女都带来自由。

举一反三
D
Life has changed in Mexico City．Streets normally filled with people are empty．One of the most popular professional soccer teams recently played a game in an empty stadium that can seat more than100,000 people．It"s swine （猪）flu that has made life in Mexico City grind to a halt （慢慢停了下来）．
Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30．It has sent a wave of alarm around the world．Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further out-breaks．The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six．
People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu．Swine flu is a contagious（传染性） respiratory（呼吸的）disease in pigs．It is caused by a type-A influenza virus．
Humans can also catch swine flu．The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it．However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another．
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu．They include fever, lethargy （无精打采）, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea（恶心）, and vomiting （呕吐）．The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus．Most of the dead had lung damage．What caused it is not yet known．
The virus spreads the same way the common flu does．When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk．People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes．
There are medicines to treat swine flu．Doctors suggest using anti - viral drugs．They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body．
And there are vaccines for it now, several everyday steps can also help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it．
People may worry that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork．In fact, you cannot catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and cooked．Cooking food at temperatures of 71℃ kills the virus．
69．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It mainly tells us how swine flu broke out in Mexico City．
B．It presents the reader with some information concerning swine flu．
C．It tells us the differences between swine flu and bird flu．
D．It mainly tells readers the dangers caused by swine flu．
70．The following tips can protect us from swine flu EXCEPT _________．
A．keeping us away from other people
B．washing hands frequently
C．avoiding close contact with sick people

71．What"s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Mexico City is really a place of horror now．
B．People in Mexico City like staying at home．
C．People in Mexico City don"t like soccer．
D．Swine flu has seriously affected people"s life in Mexico City．
72．What can we infer from the passage?
A．At present there still aren"t effective vaccines for swine flu．
B．Swine flu is preventable，controllable and curable．
C．From now on, people can"t eat pork if they want to be safe．
D．All of the dead killed by swine flu had lung damage．
B
See in your mind’s eye where you really want to be in ten years’ time．Choose your own values, activities, and relationships rather than copying tubers．
While working with troubled teens, I used to haste them do a Ten Years game in the Future exercise．I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future．Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week, much less ten years to come．This lack of “foresight”was a major reason why their lives were pretty messed up．But the real story is what happened to me．I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams in detail．In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home, authored a book, and started my own business．
Over the next ten years, something magic happened．All my dreams became true, almost as if orchestrated (精心安排) by an unseen hand．I realized that something very powerful was happening, more powerful than expected．I did write books and start my business．We did move to the country and I did build my own home．
This letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life．Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals, and your daily activities．
You must write your letter as if it has already happened．For example:
“Leslie, I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life．I started my own gardening business in 2012 and it’s really taken off．”
“Dear Harold, I met the love of my life in 2016 and we moved to Hawaii where Frank works in a bookstore and I give surfing lessons everyday．We love it．”
Remember, describe all the details as if they have already happened．This will help you make it more real for you．
Sit down and write (or type) your Ten Years in the Future letter today．

A．had put something magic in the letter

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，共60分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I
"m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common.“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”
56. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”
A. the new drug B. the research into the drug
C. the memory D. the chemical in the drug
57. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?
A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
B.Some memories can ruin people"s life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
58. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?
A. Our memories give us our identity.
B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.
C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.
59. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?
A. People often suffer from bad memories.
B. The nightmares are terrible.
C. Forget bad memories and be happy.
D. The research has caused a heated argument.
I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).
Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.
We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.
Yours sincerely,
Resident

“Never mind, my little fellow,” said Mr. Lincoln. “I will put you back in your little nest.” He climbed up the tree and put the bird softly into their warm little home. A few minutes later, Mr. Lincoln joined them again. His shoes were covered with mud and he was wet. Then the other three laughed at him.
