My mom is a teacher.She finds a lesson in everything.I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d   16   my ABCs and 123s.Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three.And my mom had me spotting (认出) the historical markers with childlike   17   on family vacations by the time I was six.For her, life was all about learning.But the biggest lesson she   18   me was never to let my   19   define who I am, and never forget what is   20   in life.
I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, an extremely   21   genetic bone and muscular disorder.There are only about 100 reported   22 .At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had my first surgery to   23   them when I was just six weeks old.This surgery was the first of many in my   24 .I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15.
Strange as it   25  , I have good memories of my medical days.One of my   26   is about my mom and me being in the hospital cafeteria(自助餐厅).We sat down for an ice cream sandwich dessert.It was   27   fancy, but at that moment, I knew I was   28 .
My parents pushed me to be as   29   as possible — even when I didn’t want to be.My mom taught me that I could do anything and that I should   30   let my disability stop me.In high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society, and in college, I was editor-in-chief of my school newspaper.I wouldn’t have had the   31   to push myself if my parents hadn’t been there,   32   me on and giving me a reality check when I got down on myself.
Every night before I go to bed, I   33   my mom for everything, for all the great help she’s given me.And   34   I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much more than the physical assistance.And that’s   35   matters the most.

Mark and I met at a summer   38  that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t   39  exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.
We lived close to each other and   40  saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the   41  and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere.

Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46  entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47  such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49  Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it.

I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52  by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53  again, or whether these years have left us with   54

Drinking a lot of water does not do any good to the body, according to two experts in the United States. In fact, they warn, drinking too much water could be, in certain cases, harmful.
In a study, Dr Stanly Goldfarb and Dr Dan Negoianu, both of the Renal, Electrolyte and Hypertension Division at the University of Pensylvania, the United States, have denied the popular belief that drinking a lot of water clears body toxins(毒素)better, improves skin, and helps reduce weight.
Dr Goldfarb and Dr Negoianu say that they found little proof to back the public opinion that drinking 8 glasses of water every day benefits health. At the same time, they fond little proof of harm in drinking 8 glasses of water every day.
It is widely believed that in some cases-such as athletes, people who live in hot, dry environments, and those with certain medical conditions-drinking a lot of water indeed helps, but no studies have been done to prove the benefits of this practice in average, healthy people, the website medheadlines.com reports.
The study at the University of Pennsylvania also examined reports that some people experienced increased headaches when their consumption(消耗)of water was low. In one small study, which the doctors reviewed, the group drinking the most water reported fewer headaches than the control group, “but the difference in the number of headaches was o small between the two groups as to be considered unimportant.”
The researchers concluded that there is no scientific proof to support that average, healthy people need to drink at least 8 glasses of water each each day.
The website medheadines.com says that, according to an Indian doctor, drinking too much water is harmful. If water enters the body more quickly than it can be removed, problems can occur.
小题1:What’s the key message delivered in the passage?
A.Drinking too much water might bring harm.
B.Whether to drink enough water makes no difference.
C.Drinking too much water may cause headaches.
D.Average, healthy people should drink more water.
小题2:We can learn from the passage that 8 glasses of water every day_______ .
A.proves good for the bodyB.has scientific proof of harm
C.is sure to reduce headachesD.is generally considered necessary
小题3:Who may agree that drinking lots of water helps to lose weight?
A.The two experts.B.The Indian doctor.
C.The general public.D.The website.
小题4:According to the passage, we know that_______.
A.the website medheadlnes.com is developed by an Indian doctor
B.the study was carried out by two experts with an Indian doctor
C.the two experts performed the study at the University of Pennsylvania
D.drinking 8 glasses of water every day can cure certain diseases

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
小题1:The author considers it very important ______.
A.to drive with a companyB.to have personal independence
C.to gain certain responsibilityD.to share trust and cooperation
小题2:The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
A.the approaching car was very dangerous
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
D.it was dark and the road was not wide enough
小题3:From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
A.only one experience B.many similar experiences
C.a driver on a dark road D.many friends and strangers
小题4:The need for cooperation increases because ______.
A.peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves
B.certain viruses can spread in a quick way
C.terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
D.the world has become much more dangerous
小题5: We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
A.believed in one’s own personal responsibility
B.counted upon himself alone in everything
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D.had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of life

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的(A、B、C和D)四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.
When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung...”
My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy… I am so sorry…”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”
“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.
小题1: The author was in bad mood that morning because _______.
A.his father had a terrible accident
B.he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends
C.his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema
D.his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends
小题2:Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?
A.Because he didn’t go along with his father.
B.Because he was rude to his father that morning.
C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.
D.Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.
小题3: The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _______.
A.he had a poor memoryB.he didn’t hear what his son said
C.he just wanted to comfort his sonD.he lost his memory after the accident
小题4: What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?
A.Don’t treat your parents badly.
B.Don’t hurt others with rude words.
C.Don’t move the injured in an accident.
D.Don’t be angry with friends at small things.

Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall."A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old.Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed me the animated image she had created."Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked."Sure," I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight."To my youngest daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer.
Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story.She reads it to me, complete with expressive accents for the story characters.
To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement.We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy.Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is all our own.
I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually, learning much from each other.The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
So it is with all of our relationships.The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop.Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart.
Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust.I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships.
Relationships take time to develop and maintain.It is not always easy, but the results are priceless."Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away.
小题1:The underlined words in the third paragraph refer to all EXCEPT ______.
A.hands' shadow dancing on the wall
B.reading bed stories
C.sharing each other's tragedy
D.praying to the angels for goodnight
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can't describe with plenty of words.
B.If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
C.Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
D.It's not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.
小题3:Why does the author write the passage?
A.To recall his fondest memories.
B.To stress the importance of trust in building relationships.
C.To explain how to create valuable memories.
D.To tell the readers how to educate children.
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Life Stuff Of Your Own
B.Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp
C.Unconditional gifts---Love
D.A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart

HOW would you like to step into the world of other people’s dreams? That’s just what Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) does. His work is to steal secrets from people when they are asleep and dreaming. He has an even rarer ability: He can plant an idea in someone’s sleeping mind, and watch it grow and take root in reality. This ability is called inception.
The movie Inception (《盗梦空间》) was on show in Chinese cinemas not long ago. It is imaginative, of course. The movie leads one to wonder just how much we know about dreams. For years, scientists and researchers have been trying to solve sleep’s greatest mystery.
Is it possible to enter someone’s dreaming mind? In the movie, DiCaprio uses a drug and a dream machine to put a scenario (某一特定情节) into someone’s sleeping mind. He then goes to sleep himself, connected to the machine, and enters the other person’s dream.
In real life, there is a machine that can read someone’s mind. A brain scanner takes pictures of brain activity, and then the software recreates images of what the person was looking at.
Researchers say it may be possible one day to record someone’s dream – without the danger (or the fun) of actually sharing that dream.
What’s a dream, anyway? A dream is a group of images and sounds our brain creates when we’re sleeping. In the 1950s, researchers discovered a sleeping condition that happened around every 90 to 120 minutes during sleep: rapid eye movement, or REM. During this period you’re fast asleep, yet your eyes move around quickly under your eyelids (眼皮) and your brain is nearly as active as during the day. That’s when most dreams happen.
What do dreams mean? Dreams are not always filled with meaning. Sometimes dreams are just your mind playing with thoughts and images from your life, or things you may have read or seen on TV. But at other times, dreams show things that you want to achieve in real life, or things that cause you trouble or stress.
小题1:The movie Inception is mentioned at the beginning of the article to ______.
A.encourage readers to watch the movie
B.tell readers about people with special dreaming abilities
C.inform readers about the science of dreams
D.warn reader about the threat of dream stealers
小题2:According to the article, how does a brain scanner work?
A.It records dreams.
B.It uses a special drug that causes no pain.
C.It finds out what dreams mean.
D.It takes pictures of brain activity and recreates images.
小题3: According to the article, which of the following statements about REM sleep is TRUE?
A.Most dreams occur in REM sleep.
B.Over the last ten years scientists have solved the mystery of REM sleep.
C.People always remember what they have dreamed in a REM sleep.
D.People can have REM sleep all night.
小题4: The article claims that ______.
A.dreams tell us a lot about a person’s character
B.dreams are connected to real life
C.dreams are useful and help keep our brains active
D.dreams are usually about meaningful things
