Roy died at an old age with many memories. His life was full of both good and bad memories, but he 26 to remember mostly the good. The bad memories that broke his heart and that he 27 with friends, involved the big war－World War II. So many things about his war experience he remembered 28 great detail.
Roy survived the attack on Normandy－he was part of the second wave that landed. He 29 with him the memories of water mixed with the blood of fallen soldiers. He experienced 30 , sweat, blood, fire and salt water just to get to the beach. In terror-filled moments that would forever change his life and the history of our world, his life was robbed of innocence（天真） 31 the realities of war engulfed（吞噬）him.
Not too many months later, he found himself cold and 32 . Close to being completely 33 from air supplies（供给）because of the weather, Roy and his fellows hung on to what little hope they could have. Then Christmas morning came, the weather cleared long enough for supplies to be 34 and word to spread that other troops would soon be there.
Many of the young men who began with Roy did not make it home 35 . They gave their lives to fighting against the Nazi. Those who did survive would never be the same. Many of them were the most patriotic（爱国的）people you would 36 meet, but most of them 37 war. They had experienced it. They knew its final realities－things got blown up while people were killed, and robbed of their beloved ones.
It is Memorial Day in the United States today. We all pray for an end for the world’s need for young men and young women to be placed in harm’s way. We also need to remember those who paid the huge 38 of wars－costs not counted in dollars, but in lost lives, broken hearts, forgotten innocence, broken families, and terrible memories. And as we remember to 39 those who paid this awful price, we also remember in hopes to see an end to war itself.

The 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers′hands sweat．But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn′t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year′s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya．Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years．
The weather was fine-but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became．Rounding a sharp U-turn at mile marker473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes．In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten-foot dam toward the extremely cold Logan River．As it hit the water, the car tipped toward the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river．
There was no time to tell the kids what to do．The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water． “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,”remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager．“You′re thinking, is this how it′s all going to end？”
Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids．Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn′t find her．“I thought, if I don′t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out．” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface．That′s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam．One after another, they raced down into the water．Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels （天使）．”
56．What might be the main reason．For the car accident？
A．The sharp U-turn． B．The steep dam．
C．The sudden brake． D．A truck hitting the car．
57．Andersen didn′t expect any trouble on the road because___________．
A．he was familiar with the road B．he was good at driving
C．his hands didn′t have sweat D．the weather was fine
58．What can be learned from the last paragraph？
A．Andersen lost conciousness in the water．
B．Strangers helped Andersen out of the car．
C．Andersen liked Mia most among the children．
D．Strangers teamed together to save three children．
59．The underlined sentence is to express Andersen′s feeling of being___________．
A．tired B．excited C．doubtful D．grateful
60．Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A．Stay calm when in trouble
B．Drive rounding a U-turn
C．Miracle rescue from an icy river
D．Mystery of the Bear River Mountains
It will be hot—hot enough that most locals will have cleared town for cooler places. But because athletes competing at the 2004 Olympics have no choice but to stay in the hot weather, many plan to turn to science to stay cool.?
Some will put their hands in ice water just before competing and nearly all will be wearing fabrics(织物) designed with hot weather in mind.?
“Normally we warm up before exercise,”said Gordon Sleivert, director of sports science and medicine at the Canadian Sport Center in Victoria, British Columbia.“But in this case we're taking the warm out of warm up. It's like pre-cooling.”
Experts are predicting(预测) the average high this August in Athens will be 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with temperatures often reaching above 100(the average temperature in Sydney for the 2000 summer games was 64).?
Although some events, such as the marathon, will start early(1 a.m.) to avoid hot weather, other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures.? Drinking lots of water will help athletes keep cool, but humidity(湿度) remains a problem. The body's ability to cool down is weakened by damp air since sweat drips off the skin rather than evaporates(蒸发),resulting in dehydration(脱水) without the cooling.?
“Getting hot is a real problem because when our brains heats up, the brain waves are more like when you're really sleepy. Everything feels harder,” said Sleivert.
The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. why it is very hot in Athens?
B. the hot weather is a big problem for Olympic athletes?
C. how important science is to every athlete?
D. the Olympics will be put off because of the hot weather?
The underlined sentence “other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures”in the fifth paragraph means _______.?
A. Olympic athletes will put off their competition time?
B. some events in the Olympics will have to be put forward?
C. competitors can't reach their limits in the hot weather?
D. competitors will have to try their best to compete under any condition?
The following things will be likely to happen in the hot weather EXCEPT _______.
A. dehydration?
B. being sleepy?
C. that the blood in the body can become less and less?
D. that the body's ability to cool down is weakened
