阅读下面短文,然后从下列各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

  The first telegraph cable was laid under the sea between England and France in 1850.Cables are much   1   and heavier than telegraph wires.There are a number of reasons for this:one reason is that the salt water of the sea harms   2   telegraph wires, and so they have to be   3  , another is that, because electricity   4   easily through water, wires have to be   5   to prevent electric signals which are passing through them   6   escaping and getting lost in the sea; a third reason is that cables have to be very strong   7   they will break while they are being   8   along the bottom of the sea from a ship sailing on the surface.

  The   9   cables that men tried to lay   10   England and America broke and were   11   during storms.At last, after nine years of hard work, the two English-speaking nations of Britain and America were   12   in 1866 by the electric telegraph under the sea.

  Later, all the different   13   of the world were joind up by a   14   of cables.It is   15   easy to send a message by cables as it is to   16   an ordinary telegram, and it takes no longer for a message to   17   half way round the world than from one town to the   18  .Every hour of the day and night   19   are being flashed under the ocean to and   20   every country in the world.

    阅读下面短文,然后从下列各题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   36  !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38   for years—often from   39   childhood. These stories may have no   40   in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41   my development? I was never   42   to work on cars or be around    43  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,   44  , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   45    down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   46   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   47   and told him about my   48   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49   is it that you can solve    50   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   54   , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   55   we choose.

A. away           B. down                 C. up               D. off

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very   21  lesson in life by the great example you   22  . When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had   23  his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any  24  , you went over and put the  25 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you   26  threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said   27  like, “Some kid will really enjoy   28  this.”
Last week, a young man   29  me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have   30  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much   31  is he?” she told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car  32  had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15   33 , which came to just over     34 . That is an easy mistake   35  both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and   36  you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so  37  and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “It’s 38 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the  39  and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it  40 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always,
Mum
