In 1956, Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet (小鹦鹉)on my finger, I wanted to show Perky  31  the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird  32  out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my  33 , Perky flew off. The enormous blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  34   and suddenly he had gone , clipped wings and all.

Kathy managed to  35   me. With fake optimism, she even tried to reassure (安慰)me that Perky would find a new  36 . But I was far too clever to  37   that such a thing was possible.

Decades later, I watched my own  38  growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the  39  of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the  40  of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed to  41  the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog.  42  Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 43  that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

"The best thing  44  Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the  45  we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just  46  down and landed on my finger."

When I was finally able to  47  , we examined the amazing evidence. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all  48 . It seems our two families had been  49  long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were  50 ! Perky lived!"

第三部分:阅读理解 (30分)

Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn? To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good ycy to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”

51.In God’s eyes, a rich man is one who _________.

      A.lives a simple life                                B.is easy to satisfy

      C.doesn’t want to be rich                         D.gives others a lot

52.Which of the following is best supported by the text?

      A.God does exist in the world.

      B.He who loves others is sure to be loved by others.

      C.When one makes a mistake, he should try to find an excuse to forgive himself.

      D.It is easier to lose a friend than to make a friend.

53.The author wrote the passage to _________.

      A.invite people to believe in God

      B.present people’s wrong attitudes to life and give advice on how to live happily

      C.show what is important in life

      D.give God’s opinions of humankind and lessons God wants us to learn

 

    BEIJING, Oct.18 -World and regional leaders also congratulated China yesterday on the landing of Shenzhou VI,its second manned spaceship.

    French President Jacques Chirac sent a message of congratulations on the successful return of Shenzhou VI,becoming the first foreign head of state to praise the spaceship’s mission(使命). Foreign media also widely covered the successful landing.

   “China affirmed(确认)its place in one of the world’s most advanced clubs with the expected conclusion of a second manned space night,” The Christian Science Monitor, a newspaper based in Boston,reported yesterday.

   “More than forty years after the US and Soviet Union had a similar achievement,China can still declare to put humans into orbit(轨道)on its own.

   ‘‘It was, as far as we know, what I’m sure they’d like to refer to as a picture-perfect mission,’’ Joan Johnson--Freese,an expert on China’s space program at the US Naval War College,said yesterday.

   “Successful flights like Shenzhou VI build unity in the whole country. The nation will unite more closely.’’ said Anthony Curtis,a professor at the University of North Carolina,who followed China’s space program yesterday.

    Beijing’s next manned mission,including a space--walk,will take off in 2007,followed by the building of an orbiting space station, which Curtis said would be practical within five years.

    Leroy Chiao,a US astronaut with Chinese blood,told China Daily yesterday that there is a possibility for the United States and China to co-operate.  After all,exploring space is not a piece of cake. It needs many top scientists to complete the high-tech mission.

    He said in a telephone interview yesterday: ‘‘I would like to see opportunities for the two countries to set about co-operation personally.’’

54.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

C

About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.

     Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents open home-school to escape compulsory education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although .children often learn well at home weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schools. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.

     Here in Helena, Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours. Mrs. Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics (发音学) than public schools offer. ycy Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail.

     Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School. Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study. But she had liked gym and chorus, so Mrs. Brown said that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.

58.We can know from the passage that       .                                                              

      A.half the parents feel doubtful about public education

     B.most parents have religious consideration

     C.some parents want to escape the compulsory education

     D.public schools should not interfere in private education

59.The important problem of home-school education is       .                                      

      A.lack of social activities                    B.lack of strict management

     C.inefficiency in study                      D.low teaching quality

60.According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is       .       

      A.looking after them by herself            B.teaching them what they like

     C.helping her to do housework             D.teaching them more basics

 61.It can be inferred from the passage that        .                                                     

     A.no measures can be taken to regulate the home: school education

     B.most parents are not satisfied with public education

   C.it is wiser for schools to accept enrollment part time

      D.home-schools have no difference with public schools

 

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.

Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.

“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.

The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.

“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.

Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.

The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present it is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with $224,400 in funds from BUPA ― a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.

62.The text is mainly written to explain ____________.

      A.how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works

      B.why child obesity becomes a topic of people

      C.how to lose weight with the help of computers

      D.why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity

63.The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.

      A.eating              B.working          C.lasting              D.losing

64.Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.

      A.people have not cared about

      B.is nothing compared with other diseases

      C.is very serious

      D.has led to many deaths

65.What can we learn from the text?

      A.The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.

      B.The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.

      C.The Mandometer is still not perfect.

      D.Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.
