One day in early December, we woke up to discover a heavy fall of snow. “Mom, can we go __36__ after breakfast?” my eleven-year-old daughter Erica begged. I didn?t want to __37__ her request, so we headed towards the only __38__ in our town.

When we arrived, the hill was crowded with people. We found an open spot next to a thin man and his three-year-old son. The boy was already lying in the sled (雪橇), __39__ to be launched. “Come on, D addy!” he called.

The man looked over at me. “Okay if we go __40__?” he asked.

“Sure. Looks like your son is ready to go,” I said. With that, he gave the boy a huge __41__, and off he flew! And the father ran after his son at full speed.

“He mu st be afraid that his son is going to __42__ somebody,” I said to Erica. “We?d better be __43__, too.”

This __47__ went on for more than an hour, but the man never __48__, and he was very happy instead. Finally, I could __49__ it no longer. I called to him, “You have tremendous __50__!”

The m an smiled and said, “He has cerebral palsy (脑瘫). He can?t walk. ”

I was dumbstruck (惊呆的). It had all seemed so happy, so __51__, that it never occurred to me that the child might be __52__. Although I didn?t know the man?s name, I told the __53__ in my newspaper column. Either he or someone he knew must have recognized him, __54__ shortly afterward, I received this letter:

第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

More than 1.5 billion people around the world live without electricity. Finding better ways to bring light to the poor is the goal of researchers like Professor Irvine. In the late 1990s, he was working in Nepal when his return flight was canceled.

A delay gave him time to take a fourteen-day hiking trip in the Himalayas.

One day he looked in the window of a school and noticed how dark it was. This is a common problem for millions of children around the world. Many families use kerosene oil (煤油) lamps. There are many problems with these lamps. They produce only a small amount of light. They are dangerous to breathe. And they are a big fire danger, causing many injuries and deaths each year. Kerosene costs less than other forms of lighting, but it is still costly in poor countries. Professor Irvine says many people spend over 100 dollars a year on the fuel.

When he returned to Canada, he began researching ways to provide safe and clean lighting. He began experimenting with light-emitting diodes (发光二极管), LEDs, at his lab. As a professor of renewable energy, he already knew about the technology. Light-emitting diodes are small glass lamps that use much less electricity than traditional bulbs (灯泡) and last much longer. He used a one-watt bright white LED made in Japan. He found it on the Internet and connected it to a bicycle-powered generator (发电机). He remembers thinking it was so bright that a child could read by the light of a single diode.

In 2000, after much research and many experiments, he returned to Nepal to put the systems into homes. Now the homes of 25,000 people in 51 countries have been equipped with it. “The one-time cost of our system which basically lives forever, as well as the solar panel — is less than one hundred dollars. So, one year of kerosene would pay for a solid-state lighting system,” he said. Now his aim is to develop a lower-cost lighting system. In January, Irvine is leaving the University of Calgary. He has also decided to start his own company in India.

56. We can learn from the second paragraph that kerosene oil lamps ______.

A. cost more than other forms of lighting

B. have damaged children?s eyesight

C. have wasted only a little fuel

D. have a lot of disadvantages

57. Irvine connected a white LED to a bicycle-powered generator to prove ______.

A. whether it can work without electricity

B. whether it can work well with less electricity

C. whether it can last longer than a generator

D. whether it is brighter than a traditional bulb

58. We can learn from the text that Irvine ______.

A. likes India rather than Nepal

B. is good at making new kinds of bulbs

C. is giving up his job in the university

D. is to earn much money from his company

B

As teachers, most of us have been taught that tests are the best way to assess our students? learning and the effectiveness of our teaching. But when a student scores poorly on a test, how does he or she benefit? The student loses confidence and

ends up feeling “stupid”. I believe we can use tests to improve learning, not just check what our students have memorized.

I recently attended a conference where the speaker, Thomas Guskey, challenged us to consider how we might change the culture of classroom testing. Guskey asked, “What happens to these tests? What educational purpose do they serve?” His point was that teachers typically grade test papers, give them back, and then move on. Students put their test papers away and never look at them again. Some students will even make a show of walking leisurely to the trash to crumple and toss their test papers into the bin. If a student feels like he or she studied hard for a test and still got a bad grade, he or she can become disheartened with the classroom cycle that consists of teaching and testing, teaching and testing.

Many times, testing simply feels like a winning or losing game between students and their teachers. I?ll never forget the day my son and I were discussing testing in one of his least favorite classes (and with his least favorite teacher) and he looked me square in the eyes an d said, “Mom, I refuse to play the game.” My son was in honors classes, yet he felt this way! Would it be regarded as less of a game if students had a chance to retake the test, or work out where they?d gone wrong?

There is an argument for the exam as the final assessment: if students don?t have the knowledge by the time they?re tested, that?s unfortunate, but it?s time to move on —there?s only so much time to teach the material. “What about surgeons (外科医师)? Do they …test? their learning on a genuine patient?”Guskey asked. “Or do they get to check their learning on a dead body to make sure they?ve got it worked out?” You wouldn?t show a surgeon a heart bypass in a textbook and the n send him or her straight into the operating room!

By moving on immediately after giving an exam, we?re missing a valuable opportunity to teach our students exactly what they need to learn! Rather than a game in which students either win or lose, we can turn testing into a win-win classroom experience by giving students the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. We can change the culture in our classrooms by using tests as a tool to improve learning rather than marking the end of the learning process.

59. According to what Guskey said, the culture of classroom testing makes ______.

A. teachers focus on students? mistakes

B. students dissatisfied with their teachers

C. students not take tests seriously at all

D. teachers lose confidence in their students

60. The writer mentioned her son in Paragraph 3 to ______.

A. complain about his playing games all the time

B. show that her son did well at school tests

C. explain the importance of a favorite teacher

D. prove that children don?t like tests at all

61. It is implied in the fourth paragraph that Guskey thought ______.

A. tests didn?t play a role of education at school

B. there is enough time to teach what students don?t get

C. surgeons learn from their performing operations

D. theoretical knowledge is of no use to surgeons

62. The writer seems to support the statement that ______.

A. tests are a wining or losing game between students and teachers

B. tests should help students find areas where they are struggling

C. tests are a tool to check what students have memorized

D. tests should be a mark to end a learning course

C

Freezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia unless a person is prepared. Do you know how to stay warm, dry and safe in such cold winter?

Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands, feet, nose and ears. People with small cases of frostbite that affect only the skin may not suffer any lifelong damage. But if deeper tissue (组织) is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold. If blood vessels are damaged, people can suffer an infection of gangrene (坏疽). Sometimes, doctors have to remove frostbitten areas like fingers and toes.

Hypothermia happens when the body cannot produce as much heat as it releases. The condition comes on slowly. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking, very slow breathing and unclear thinking. If not treated properly, Hypothermia can be deadly.

A simple way to avoid cold-related injuries is to remember four basic steps. Think of COLD — C.O.L.D. The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and a scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head, neck and ears. And wear mittens (连指手套)

instead of gloves. In gloves, the fingers are separated, so the hands might not stay as warm. The O stands for overexertion (劳累过度). Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a bad mix. L is for layers. Wearing loose, lightweight clothes, one layer on top of another, is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Also, make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit. Can you guess what the D in C.O.L.D. stand for? D is for dry. In other words, stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter, like the tops of boots, the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens.

And here are two other things to keep in mind — one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body?s temperature. And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm. But what it really does is weaken the body?s ability to hold heat.

63. The underlined word “hypothermia” in Paragraph 1 means the condition of ______.

A. having a low body temperature

B. suffering from cold weather

C. breathing with great difficulty

D. giving off too much heat

64. The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A. about the scientific definition of frostbite

B. how doctors treat frostbite

C. how frostbite damages our bodies

D. how frostbite forms

65. Which of the following is NOT true about the C.O.L.D. according to the text?

A. They are four basic steps to keep warm.

B. Gloves can?t protect us from cold sometimes.

C. We should keep ourselves as dry as possible.

D. They can protect us from injuries completely.

66. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. the author thinks eating snow is safe

B. snow and alcohol may also cause damage

C. drinking alcohol can keep people warm

D. adults prefer drinking alcohol to eating snow

D

They were going to Fort Lauderdale — three boys and three girls — and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of Now York went behind them.

As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.

Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson?s, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.

“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and be came silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.

In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson?s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.

“Are you married?”

“I don?t know.”

“You don?t know?” she said.

“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn?t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. I?d understand. Get a new man, I said —she?s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn?t have to write me. And she didn?t. Not for three and a half years.”

“And you?re going home now, not knowing?”

“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in

Brunswick, just b efore Jacksonville, and there?s a big oak (橡树) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn?t have a new man and if she?d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I?d get off and come home. If she didn?t want me, forget it —no handkerchief and I?d go on through.”

“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”

She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.

Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.

Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.

Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs — 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.

67. At the beginning of the story, the young boys and girls ______.

A. showed a great interest in Vingo

B. didn?t notice Vingo at all

C. wanted to offer help to Vingo

D. didn?t like Vingo at all

68. The underlined part “Howard Johnson?s” is most probably a(n) ______.

A. bus station

B. apartment

C. hospital

D. restaurant

69. How did Vingo feel on the way home?

A. Ashamed.

B. Relaxed.

C. Nervous.

D. Disappointed.

70. The paragraphs following this passage would most probably talk about ______.

A. Vingo?s experience in prison

B. the young people?s travel to Fort Lauderdale

C. V ingo?s three lovely children

D. the dialogue between Vingo and his family

第五部分任务型阅读（共10个小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格。注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每空只填一个单词。

Most people have some regret that they just can?t seem to get rid of. But holding on to regret about the past that can?t be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future. Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy. To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back.

Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions.

Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must carefully consider all conditions and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one. Big decisions aren?t the only ones that require forethought, though. Before yo u become angry and say something you will regret later, think abo ut what you?re going to say.

Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you?ll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think. But don?t just dayd ream about those goals — make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do.

When you?re feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn?t a problem. But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself. You can do what you want and don?t get angry with yourself about your shortcomings. On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on. Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.

Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you. Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what?s important in life. You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens.

Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change. Treat those things properly and move on. Life is hard, but it is precious. Don?t waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it.

Helen was about to have her first baby. One evening it was time to take her to the hospital, so her husband, Sam, helped her get into the car and drove her there, a nurse took Helen to her room and told Sam that he could go home and she would call him when the baby arrived, but Sam said he would rather wait at the hospital. The nurse smiled and said, “There?s a waiting room at the end of the hall.”

Sam was walking anxiously up and down in the passage at about midnight when the nurse came out of his wife?s room and said, with a happy smile, “Which would you have preferred, a boy or a girl?”

“A girl,” answered the husband. “I have an older sister, and she was always very kind to me when I was a child.”

“That?s all right,” answered Sam cheerfully, “That was my second choice.”
