Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遺棄的) so I went over and sat next to him.
After a few   36   about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any   37   of their own..So they cherished being together even more.
He explained he had been married for 54 years   38   his wife died and how much he missed    39    all the little things with her, like a beautiful sunset. He now lives in a care home. I remarked at how wonderful it must've been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large    40  and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he   41   told her how much he really loved her.
He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had   42  . I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still    43   over him and he could talk to her   44   he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart. 
The old man tried to   45   for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.
The   46   I learned from this chance encounter is that we must tell the ones close to us how much we love and care for them and not take them for granted.
Don't   47   your kind acts until tomorrow; do them today because time flies.

“Hey, mister,” said the boy. My father 40 at the boy, bringing the towel down off his face and putting it around to the back of his neck. “Do you know karate or 41?” the boy asked.
“Actually, I know Tae Kwon Do,” my father answered.
“Cool. What 42 are you?”
“Black belt,” my father said. “You like martial arts?”

The boy inched forward again, 53. My father took his hand and began to shake it 54, as if the two of them had been old friends 55 each other.
“You know, kid,” my father said, “you’ll solve more problems with this move than with any other.

After their 20-year-old son hanged himself during his winter break from the University of Arizona five years ago, Donna and Phil Satow wondered what signs they have overlooked, and started asking other students for answers.
What grew from this soul searching was Ulifeline (www. Ulifeline. org), a Web site where students can get answers to questions about depression by logging on through their universities. The site has been adopted as a resource by over 120 colleges, which can customize it with local information, and over 1.3 million students have logged on with their college ID’s.
“It is a very solid Web site that raises awareness of suicide, de-stigmatizes mental illness and encourages people to seek the help they need,”said Paul Grayson, the director of counseling services at New York University, which started using the service nearly a year ago.
The main component of the Web site is the Self-screening program developed by Duke University Medical Center that tests students to determine whether they are at risk for depression, suicide and disorders like anorexia and drug dependences. Besides helping students, the services compiles anonymous student date, offering administrators an important window onto the mental health of its campus.
The site provides university users with links to local mental health services, a catalog of information on prescription drugs and side effects, and access to Go Ask Alice, a vast archive developed by Columbia University with hundreds of responses to anonymously posted inquires from college students worldwide. For students concerned about their friends, there is a section that describes warning signs for suicidal behavior and depression.
Yet it is hard to determine how effective the service is. The anonymity of the online service can even play out as a negative. “There is no substitute for personal interaction(個(gè)人互動(dòng)才能解決)，” said Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology, based in Washington.
Ulifeline would be the first to say that its service is no replacement for an actual therapist. “The purpose is to find out if there are signs of depression and then direct people to the right places,” said Ron Gibori, executive director of Ulifeline.
Mrs. Satow, who is still involved with Ulifeline, called it “a knowledge base” that might have prevented the death of her son, Jed. “If Jed’s friends had known the signs of depression, they might have seen something,” she said.
小題1: The first paragraph is written to_________.
A．report a suicide of a young man
B．show the suffering of Mr. And Mrs. Satow
C．describe the Satows’ confusion over their son’s death
D．introduce the topic of a website called Ulifeline.
小題2:One reason that many colleges adopt the website is to _________
A．provide their students with campus information
B．offer medical treatment to students in mental disorder
C．encourage their students to seek advice about depression
D．give their students various help they may need
小題3: Go Ask Alice as mentioned in the passage is________
A．a(chǎn) side effect caused by some prescription drugs
B．intended to counsel college students in mental problems
C．a(chǎn) collection of medical responses from students the world over
D．meant to describe the various signs of mental disorders
小題4:The underlined sentence of the seventh paragraph implies that ______
A．only actual therapy can ensure adequate treatment
B．the help given by the web service is doubtful
C．doctors have expressed a negative view of the service
D．a(chǎn) therapist’s office is the first place for the depressed to go
小題5: Mrs. Satow would probably agree that _________
A．Jed’s friends can prevent her son’s death
B．her son’s suicide is unavoidable
C．Ulifeline is a worthwhile website
D．depression is the final cause of suicides

It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov’s stories. At the time, a few SF magazines began to introduce this author and translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series”. Of Asimov’s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early SF writing.
Asimov was one of the leading writers of Western science fiction’s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying （潛在的） influence on many levels is undeniable — the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Of course, his influence is related to the atmosphere that existed in the Golden Age; a science fiction writer today has a hard time reaching that level no matter how outstanding he or she is. Asimov’s novels are marked by a fully integrated logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read — this is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Naturally, Western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov’s creative methods; instead they are closely connected to mainstream artistic trends, employing large amounts of postmodern techniques. This type of science fiction has a hard time blossoming on Chinese soil. The majority of Chinese SF readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov. This is an important question that faces today’s Chinese science fiction writers.
Compared with the “Robot Series”, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” is a little less well-known in China. This is mostly due to the large influence of the Three Laws, and moreover, the Foundation novels have never been completely introduced here. In fact, the Foundation series creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series”; this science fiction epic（史詩） had a direct influence on later Western science fiction, the most famous example being Star Wars.
61. We can know from the passage that the author is a _______ .
A. science fiction writer           B. science fiction publisher
C. high school student            D. novel translator
62. The Three Laws of Robotics are most probably        .
A. stories written by Asimov       B. writing techniques employed by Asimov
C. techniques to build robots      D. characters in Asimov’s science fiction
63. The main purpose of the passage is to        .
A. compare Asimov with other science fiction writers
B. attract people to read Asimov’s stories
C. introduce Asimov’s influence on SF writing
D. explain why Asimov is popular in China
64. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. “Foundation Series” were translated into Chinese earlier than “Robot Series”
B. Science fiction of postmodern style is not popular with Chinese readers
C. Asimov is the greatest science fiction writer in Western countries
D. The writing techniques by Asimov are better than the postmodern ones
65. In the writer’s opinion, Asimov’s “Foundation Series”       .
A. were not as successful as his “Robot Series”
B. are better known to Chinese readers than his “Robot Series”
C. were more logically organized than his “Robot Series”
D. were written better than his “Robot Series” in some ways

My husband is a born shopper(天生的購物者). He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same items(產(chǎn)品) in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper. I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.
Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded. This was his story.
One day I said to him, “I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy.” “No,” said Jimmy, “I won’t forget. You want three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”
He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again. “ Three oranges, six eggs and a pound of meat.”
In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.
As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “ I’ m sorry, mum. I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat, I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I’ve dropped three of them.”
小題1: The husband loves shopping because _______
A．he has much money

Testing has taken the place of teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test.
Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（現(xiàn)象）. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（評(píng)價(jià)） to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
The ability to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（習(xí)得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can’t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.
小題1: The author mentions Erica’s performance in her study in order to show_________.
A．her cleverness in test taking B．the good way to take tests
C．the improper way of teachingD．the best way to read textbooks
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.
B．Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.
C．Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests.
D．Preparations for a test of a skill do not mean the acquisition of that skill.
小題3: In the author’s opinion, __________.
A．some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests
B．more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught
C．students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking
D．students needn’t learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding
小題4:By “crisis of comprehension” (in Paragraph 4) the author means many students ______.
A．a(chǎn)re too much concerned with grades
B．fail to understand the real goal of education
C．lack proper practice in grammar drills
D．do well on tests but can’t understand what they read

I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all, and what is more, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city.
I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside.
The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
小題1:The writer believed that if you wanted to get to know a strange city, ______.
A．you should go everywhere on footB．you should have a map
C．you should ask people the wayD．you should get lost
小題2: The newspaper-seller ______.
A．could understand what he saidB．didn't know what he said
C．laughed at himD．didn't want to take the money
小題3:The writer's real trouble was that _______.
A．he couldn't speak the language
B．he followed the policeman's direction
C．he took the wrong busD．he left the town-centre
小題4:The policeman ______.
A．didn't help himB．pointed at him
C．didn't understand what he really meantD．didn't know the way

I am untraditional. I like the different gift that nobody else would think
of to give. I hardly know what to get this year, however. I have given this a lot of thought because I just didn’t have a perfect gift this year for Father’s Day. As a daughter, I came up with some nice possibilities and wanted to share them with others.
Weekend stay at a favorite place. Maybe two nights in a motel(汽車旅館) would be nice for him. He and his dear could get away for an entire weekend and would not have to worry about the room and board.

Concert tickets. If your dad has a favorite musician or band he would like to see, what an opportunity! He would enjoy himself and what a gift! The entire time at the concert he would  be thinking of you and what a great gift! In most cases, they would spend their money on the family or something else.
Designer clothes for the summer. Get his sizes. A lot of men will not shop for themselves. Find out his favorite colors and brand names. Let your dad add some handsome clothes to his summer wardrobe.
Gift basket of his favorite food. Whatever he likes to eat, get him a decorative gift basket of his favorite stuff. Add a bit of coffee or tea. Summer sausage, shrimp, or sushi(壽司)？ Chinese, Italian, German, or none of the above! You know him pretty well, so surprise him with delicious food and watch him gladly receive it.
