A
My sister was sick for a long time before they found out what was the matter with her. She had so many tests , and no answers came, till one day we heard the words we were dreading " Your sister has a rare blood vessel cancer, hopefully we can remove it, but we have only seen 5 cases ,and don't even know if she will survive"
My wedding day was in November, and the family spent most of their time going to the hospital ,so I was on my own with all the arrangements. Not that I minded, we were just waiting to find out what was going to become of my sister.
Finally the surgeons decided amputation was the answer after extensive radiation therapy to shrink the tumour. She was tired and lethargic, and tried hard to put on a brave face, but the fear showed in her eyes.
Fortunately, when the surgery came, the doctors found they could remove the tumour without amputation, but at a great cost. The whole leg muscle was removed , and became infected, and it took many months for my sister to become well enough to leave the hospital, but was unable to stand, let alone walk.
The day of our wedding came around, and still my sister remained unwell, and was not coming to the wedding. I felt sad inside at the thought of it, but she had survived the ordeal ,and that was enough for now.
It was the only dark spot on the happiest day of my life.
As the wedding car pulled up, I saw the family moving around the church ,and felt a slight pang....Jayne was not going to be here to share all this... I stepped out of the wedding car, and rearranged my gown and dress... the church started the bridal march... ...and as in a dream, there was my sister, standing up, supported by two crutches, smiling. I think I am the only bride who stopped in the middle of the bridal march to walk over and kiss my sister on the cheek. It cost my sister so much pain to be there ,to stand and even walk a little. She could not manage it for long, but she did it for me, even when her own future looked uncertain. In my bridal book, there is a page for gifts... and next to my sister’s name is the entry..."Jaynes gift...my sister walked on my wedding day"
And her gift is the one we remember most...
51. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. The family didn't care much about my wedding
B. I was worried about the arrangement of my wedding
C. I was angry that I had to arrange my wedding by myself
D. I think I should care more about my sister's illness
52. What does the underlined word "amputation" mean?
A. chemical treatment                                 B. removing the tumour
C. cutting off the leg                                      D. removing the whole leg muscle
53. What's only the dark spot on my happiest day
A. my sister's leg was infected.                    B. My sister could not attend my wedding.
C. My sister was unable to walk.                D. My sister failed to survive the cancer.
54. What's the best title of this passage?

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，共10分）
閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
（請(qǐng)將答案寫在答題紙的指定區(qū)域內(nèi)）
In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.   71  But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by ear manufacturers．
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.   72  That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself,   73 . Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(裝置) to regulate(調(diào)節(jié)) the distance between one car and another.   74  Computers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image（影像）of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen．  75  Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.
B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.

Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.
One day, I went up to Jerry and asked him, “You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Every time someone complains to me, I can choose to accept his complaints or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”
Several years later, I heard that Jerry was shot by three armed robbers. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the hospital. Finally Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. About six months after the accident, I saw him. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I choose to live.”
“Weren’t you scared?”
Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.”
“What did you do?” I asked.
“Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes’, I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
