I‘ve loved my mother‘s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. ―But the desk‖, he said, ―is for Elizabeth‖.

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was ―too emotional‖ (感情容易激动的). But she lived ―on the surface (表现)‖.

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment (失望), the little interest, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‘t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me, as she‘d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside---a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my desk, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

56. The writer began to love her mother‘s desk __________.

A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her 57. The passage shows about ____________.

A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words

C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter 58. The word ―gulf‖ in the passage means____________.

A. part of the sea going far in land B. free talks between mother and daughter C. different ideas between the mother and daughter D. deep understanding between the old and the young

59. What did Mother do with her daughter‘s letter asking for forgiveness?

A. She had never received the letter. B. She read the letter again and till she died. C. For years, she often talked about the letter. D. She didn‘t forgive her daughter at all in her life. 60. What‘s the best title of the passage?

A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and children C. My Mother‘s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me

B

There are three branches of medicine. One is called ―doctor medicine‖ or ―scientific medicine‖. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach(方法) probably did not cure many patients.

The second kind of medicine is called ―natural cures‖ or ―folk medicine‖, in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished(兴起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.

The third kind is called ―health spas‖ or ―faith healing‖. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell(咒语), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines(圣坛) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests(牧师) and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better. 61. Doctor medicine_________.

A. has a longer history than folk medicine B. has been practiced for around 2,400 years C. bases its treatments on observation and logic

D. was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times

62. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?

A. Magic power B. Various herbs C. Religious faith D. A healthy life style

63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis. B. People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs. C. The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine. D. Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times. 64. The author‘s primary purpose in this passage is to_______________.

A. describe different types of medicine

B. argue for the importance of medicine in health care C. show the important role religion plays in medical treatments

D. compare the educational background of three different types of patients

SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999. Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and ―anything else that came up‖. Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly (蝶泳) in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay. Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事) to swim the one event, having set a qualifying(合格的) time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year‘s United States Masters championships.

―She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it‘s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.‖

Next time, things will be more serious. ―I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,‖ said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year‘s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly. 65.

The opinion of many engineers is that the architects that designed the New York World Trade Center

Twin Towers did a good job in designing the buildings. The buildings were safe from the hazards envisioned （预想到的）at the time. Indeed, they were designed to withstand（经受住） the force of aircraft that might crash into them. They were not however, designed to withstand the effects of the very high temperatures produces by the ignition（点燃）of aviation （航空）fuel carried by the aircraft.

Steel lightly covered with concrete is the main structural part of the towers and steel loses a lot of

structural strength when heated to 1100 degrees Centigrade and beyond, as it was. To protect the steel the

towers beams were coated with a few centimeters of concrete. That insulation (隔离) was to provide structural state of being complete for at least 1 hour of fire. The towers met that test. The south tower lasted 62 minutes. The north 103 minutes. Tragedy followed when not all could escape before the collapse （倒塌）.

Most experts agree that the Twin Towers were very well designed. Many also agree that the people

planning the attacks were very knowledgeable and aimed the aircraft at a height that would effect the most damage. The aircraft crash and the resulting fuel fed fires were aimed at about the 90th floor. That was just high enough to insure that the upper floors would weaken with the heat and crack down , dropping into the remaining part of the building.

The mass of the falling top floors created such a falling load that some experts estimate it exceeded

(超过) by 5 to 10 times normal bearing loads. The effect was like a giant hammer, each floor contributing more weight to be born by the next floor down .

Were the Trade Towers well designed ? Engineers say yes. But the public refers to the belief that

architects will never again design a tall building without considering the effects of terrorist attacks of all potential kinds. That not only includes the ability of the structure to withstand attack but the means to allow the buildings occupants（占有者）to escape in time to survive.

73. Many engineers believe that the Twin Tower was well-designed after September 11 because ____.

A. it could withstand aircraft crashing into it at the moment B. it could withstand any natural hazards such as earthquake or fire C. it had an attracting beautiful appearance until they were destroyed

D. They had the miserable honor of being selected as the target of terrorist attack. 74. According to the article, those who designed the tower could have done better if ____.

A. the tower lasted longer after being attacked

B. the tower held stable until all of the people in there managed to escape. C. The tower can be immune (可避免) to such attacks.

D. They consider more about the effects of the very high temperatures and made duel (决定性的)

changes in the structure.

75. The author believed that the Twin Towers ____.

A. were not well-designed B. were well-designed

C. were good examples for engineers of our time

D. were out of consideration when we talk about engineering later.
