Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these

How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself ? For the love, patience and just 7 hard
work that go into 8 a child? For running after a toddler (学走步的小孩), for understanding a 9
teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows 10 ? For waiting for the day when a daughter 11 how wise her mother really is?
How does a 12 woman thank a mother for 13 to be a mother? For being ready 14 advice

Let us suppose it is now AD 2060. Let"s believe it is fifty-three years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Travels to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it
was for the people in 1990 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many
hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window where everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and the old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven"t yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. But many foods now come in pill
form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet"s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and
then.
People are now largely vegetarians. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes of diseases and pain and cures for them, and it is possible to get rid of
diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such will be our life in AD 2060. |

Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to
1 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85
mph 2 we realized we were 3 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill.
I was so 4 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 5 seemed like
throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my
table. About halfway through the meal, I 7 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier . I
had just 8 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn"t 9 over it. I just
couldn"t go back to the cashier and 10 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 11 to give
myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 12 that someone would say "Hey, Jeff, why don"t you use the
change 13 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?" I was not so 14 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 15 of the "Pizza incident", I would say to myself "Don"t
think about it any more".
I have learned two things from this 16 . Maybe I was a fool for 17 in to my conscience, and
being too stupid to appreciate a 18 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what
you have done, your conscience will 19 up with you.
This reflects the saying "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one." I was a coward and
have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a " 20 " and gone back to
pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice. |

D. hero | | 完形填空 | As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 1 all kinds of
barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the 2 for each child to find their light. I
would like to 3 a story about it.
For a few years I was 4 with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 5
students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak.
We 6 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 7 on my lap(膝上). One of
her favorite songs was "John the Rabbit. " It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the
students 8 twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes! " Vanessa liked to 9 her hands
together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa
and I clapping together. But she 10 said or sang a word.
One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 11 me in the eye, clapped her
tiny hands twice and said the words " Oh, yes 1" I opened my mouth in 12 and for that moment I
was the one who could not speak. When my heart 13 started beating again, I looked over at the
assistant teacher to find her also 14 Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 15 on her face
and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 16 so many times in our music class.
The little girl, 17 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every
child has the 18 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 19 the way to reach each and every one
of our students. We all must find each child"s 20 . | ( )1. A.get across

My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend
Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you
shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the
world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．
Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．
Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going
to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，
I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in
your life for a long time．
One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings
for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna-how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna
in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friendship，not because
of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best
friend after all．
Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger-and
that I still hate now-is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”
It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry
that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take
part of it．
And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could - and would．
What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over?
How do you deal with it?
Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．
1. From the passage we can infer that.
A. it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship
B. Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time
C. Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all
D. Ryan would feel puzzled about his real love
2. What do you think the book THE UNWRITTEN RULE is mainly about?
A. Friendship
B. School life
C. Love
D. Wrestling with feelings
3. What’s the writer’s attitude towards friendship?
A. We will all lose some friends in our life．
B. Ending a friendship is worse than losing a boyfriend．
C. It’s usual when a crack appears．
D. You will eventually move on after you lose a friendship．
4. What do you think is the best title for the passage above?
A.My Latest Novel
B.Tricky Friends
C.Sarah and Brianna
D.Unforgettable Friendship | | 完形填空。 | My father was an ill-humored man. I knew he loved me and his love was deep. He just didn"t know

"Dad, you know I"ve never 4 with you before. I begged you but you 5 wanted to. How

I waited for the 6 refusal. But instead, he considered thoughtfully and then said, "Let"s hit the
