閱讀下面短文,從短文后所給各題的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I 26 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 27 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 28 and how much they know about football apart from 29 goals. It seems funny that we are 30 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 31 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 32 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn't amount to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We 33 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 34 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 35 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 36 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 37 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 38 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 39 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will finally prove how much we have 40 up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.
A. like B. agree C. hope D. think
A. ask B. tell C. teach D. doubt
A. skills B. fame C. team D. appearance
A. kicking B. hitting C. scoring D. controlling
A. thankful B. crazy C. curious D. anxious
A. uncertain B. unhappy C. displeased D. careful
A. aims B. qualities C. pleasures D. truths
A. dared B. would C. could D. should
A. thinking B. character C. looks D. ability
A. more B. something C. less D. no
A. clear B. puzzling C. moving D. valuable
A. material B. deep C. surface D. pleasant
A. conclusion B. experience C. lesson D. impression
A. since B. although C. unless D. before

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today.That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
1. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?
A. They lived out a natural life.
B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
C. They weren’t used to the change in weather.
D. They died due to lack of care by family members.
2. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ______.
A. he wanted to comfort the two families
B. he was an official from the community
C. he had great pity for the deceased
D. he was minister of the local church
3. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.
A. they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrow
B. they believe that they were responsible
C. they had neglected the natural course of events
D. they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction
4. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_____.
A. everything in the world is predetermined
B. the world can be explained in different ways
C. there is an explanation for everything in the world
D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
5. What’s the idea of the passage?
A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.
B. Every story should have a happy ending.
C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.
D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 36 in work and life. Offering his 37 coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 38 with a large pot of coffee and a 39 of cups---porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some beautiful—telling them to 40 themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “if you have 41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been 42 , leaving behind the plain and 43 ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 44 of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup 45 adds no quality to the coffee. 46 it is just more expensive and in some cases 47 hides what we drink.”
“48 all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, 49 you consciously went for the best cups…. And then you began 50 each other’s cups.”
Now consider this: 51 is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. 52 are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the 53 of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 54 to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups 55 you … enjoy the coffee instead.

“The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic.” say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The lowering of the waters' PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.
These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. “This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,” said Dr Caldeira. And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed(超過) anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid(小行星) impacts.
However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life. Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes. Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate(碳酸鈣) may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.
In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re—considered. “Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing——because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”
57.The ocean is becoming more acidic due to_______.
A.the lower water PH value B.the warming atmosphere
C.the higher level of CO2 in the air D.the increasing use of oil fuels
58.According to Dr Caldeira,________.
A.ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B.more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C.scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D.the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
59.If the water's acidity level keeps rising,____________.
A.ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B.the water's PH value will become higher and higher
C.organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
D.some disastrous events will occur more often than before
60.Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce_________
A.the CO2 absorbed by the ocean B. the amount of greenhouse warming
C.the acidity of the ocean D.the gradual release of CO2
