改编自2007完形填空的阅读理解In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic (技工). One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days late r the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus，to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly,. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. later, she had an idea She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight . She asked her father for a plane and he assembled (组装) a small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground, Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped (拍打) their wings and set out. the flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.天津卷Roberta appeared on the stage .She took a deep breath and began to speak .Now she was Portia, a strong-willed character in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theater was filled with people .She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing smoothly from her.In fact, Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition〔选拔试演〕.She hated being in front of other people .She was very shy at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to attract much attention. She stayed mostly to herself, making few friends. She had excellent grades, but she always thought that something was missing.Two weeks before the audition, Roberta’s mother had heard about it and encouraged her to join in.“I can’t think of anyone else better suited to play the part. Remember all the plays you used to act out for us?”Roberta looked down. “I’m not interested.”Her mother wouldn’t let the matter drop. “You’re just a littl e scared〔害怕〕.Everyone gets scared . You know you can do it. The trick is to look past the fearto find the love of what you’re doing.”So Roberta had made an appointment〔预约〕with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play and found herself excited by the idea of speaking such rich words. In secret she practiced Portia’s part, memorizing the lines by repeating them over and over .It wasn’t hard: she loved every minute of it. Every time she spoke the words, she had a new understanding of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia on many levels.On the day of the audition, she performed two of Portia’s famous speeches for the auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the part was hers.〔天津卷〕16-35 CDCBA BDADC BBADC ABDCA辽宁卷Lang Lang is a world-class young pianist who grew up in Shenyang．He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight．“You need fortune．” his father said．“But if you don’t work hard, no fortune will come．”What made him said was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn’t like him．“You have no talent(天赋)．You will never be a pianist．”As a nine-year-old boy, Lang Lang was badly hurt. He decided that he didn’t want to be a pianist any more．For the next two weeks, he didn’t touch the piano．Wisely, his father didn’t push, but waited．Luckily, the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs．He didn’t want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano keys, he realized that he could show others that he had talent after all．That day he told his father what he had been waiting to hear---that he wanted to study with a new teacher．From that point on, everything turned around!He started winning competitions(比赛)．In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition, when it was announced that Lang Lang had won, he was too excited to hold back his tears．Soon it was clear that he couldn’t stay in China forever---he had to play on the world big stages．In 1997 Lang Lang moved again, this time to Philadelphia, U．S．There he spent two years practicing, and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over．After his successful performance at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival, gigs(特邀演出) in Lincoln’s Center and Carnegie Hall started pouring, Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots(发现)him, and lets him shine．〔辽宁卷〕36-55 BDDAB CADCB ACCAB DCADB重庆卷In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my disappointment, it was the same score.Later that evening, I tearfully told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our son much better than an IQ(智商) test. We decided that Michael’s score must have been a mistake and we should treat him naturally as usual.We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got good grades in the school, especially in biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.Michael entered Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than required. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I attended the ceremony (典礼) at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the low IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say jokingly, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his specia l way of thanking us for the faith we had in him.Interestingly, Michael then asked for another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had received the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be impossible.Children often do as well as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, expect of them. That is, tell a child he is “stupid”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.〔重庆卷〕36-55 DABCB CBADC DCDAB ABCCD四川卷It’s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA.A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites right before leaving. Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma warned me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the visitors like me. She said, “There’s an old saying—the longer you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitoes,” Not believing it, I replied, “Grandma, that’s just an old wives’ tale!”Well, less than a week after my arrival in Manila. I was already carpeted with a blanket of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being bitten, but they all proved useless.Late one night in my cousin’s home. I couldn’t bear the pain of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I woke up my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being interrupted she said, “There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep.” With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地) watching her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would land on her face. However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others’ rooms, only to find they were all sleeping soundlessly as the same thing occurred again and again .From those bites, I came to accept my grandma’s silly tale. From then on, I’ve always tried to keep a(n) open mind about those strange old wives’ tales because they do have some truth to them.〔四川卷〕36-55 ACDBA DADBD CABBA CCDACThe books in David’s schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street. What be wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric, but his mother told him he would have to return his sister’s books to the library first.He had never set foot in a library and he wasn’t about to do so today. He would just drop the books in the outside return box. But there was a problem; it was locked He went into the building, only a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box .And after a brief stop in the toilet, he would be on his way to the playground to meet Eric.David stepped out of the toilet and stopped in surprise --the library lights were off. The place was empty. The doors had been shut. They couldn’t be opened from the inside. He was trapped〔被困〕--in a library!He tried to make a telephone call, but was unable to get through. What’s worse, the pay phones were on the outside of the building. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found it.At last he could see. David wrote on a piece of paper: “Help! I’m TRAPPED inside!” and stuck it to the glass door. Surely, someone passing by would see it.He was surprised to discover that this place was not so unpleasant, after all. Rows and rows of shelves held books, videos and music. He saw a book about Michael Jordan and took it off the shelf. He settled into a chair and started to read.He knew he had to wait , but now, that didn’t seem to be such a bad thing.〔浙江卷〕21-40 ACBAD DBCBC ACBDB ABCAAIt was the night of the full moon, a time which always drives Java’s young people mad with excitement.Fireworks were lit long before the moon came out. The big noise brought people out into the warm night to enjoy the interesting scene. Everywhere, there were the paper remains of used fireworks lying on the ground. Little boys lit more and covered their ears as they waited excitedly for the explosions.The moon appeared above the horizon(地平线): huge, silver ball high above the city, and the streets filled with people, as Java began to enjoy one of the year’s greatest events: ‘the Night of the Full Moon’, a festival(节日) that is especially popular with young people.More and more young Javanese gathered together and walked slowly through the l ight. Joking and chatting, they moved towards the mountain on the edge of the city. They continued to climb until they reached the old temple (寺庙) at the top of the mountain.After they were inside the temple, they drank their water and ate their moon-cakes—delicious home—made ones, full of dried fruit and nuts. Outside, on the mountain, young people sat cross-legged in circles, chatting and telling each other jokes. And still, in their hundreds, more young people continued to make their way up the mountain to admire the brightly shining moon.By midnight, the fireworks had stopped shooting up from the empty city in the valley below them. But during the night, the sound continued to be heard from the distance. 〔安徽卷〕36-55CABAD ACDCB CABCA CBDDBI grew up in a tiny Baltimore row house in a faraway mountain area. My parents provided the necessities of life but they couldn’t give much mo re. If I asked my father for a pair of jeans, he would say, “If you want them, make the money and buy them yourself.” He wasn’t being mean; he just couldn’t afford them. From age 12 on, I did part-time jobs after school.When I graduated from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp (新兵训练营) at Parris Island, S.C, where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily tasks. These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模拟的) battles. Completing these tasks successfully required discipline, team-work and responsibility. It didn’t matter whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the good of the company.I went on to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and later became an officer in the navy. The part of my job I enjoyed most was the counseling(咨询) meetings I held with the family members of the men and women in my charge , trying to help them deal with the long periods of separation . These proved popular and word of them spread. Before long I was being asked to give encouraging speeches to business groups, educations and kids across the country.But I consider the boat camp my first real job, and my life is still guided by the important lessons I learned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task everyday and working hard to achieve it.〔福建卷〕36-55ABCCD DBCAA BCDAD BCCABMany years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a knock on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to toe, explained that he had run out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant〔怀孕的〕wife and his two children behind at the car and said that he would hitchhike〔搭便车〕back.Once I had filled a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both crying, saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he follow me back.Before leaving, I had turned the heater on in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran around, I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adults.It was about 5 a. m. before they left. The young fellow asked me how much he owed me and I told him that the petrol pump〔加油泵〕had shown $ 15. He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.About a month later, I received a letter from interstate, a large bus company that we bad been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It turned out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most powerful person in the company.In his letter, he thanked me again and informed me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station, In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.〔湖北卷〕41-60DCDBD BDACA DACDB ABDCD〔湖南卷〕When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar for a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, because I had never worked at the bar before. I worried that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.“You can do it.” said my mother. “Besides, you won’t get much business until lunch.”“But I’ll never remember the orders, and I’m no good with money. Please, Mom, don’t make me!”“Then I’ll help you,” she said.I shrugg ed my shoulders. I thought my mother’s idea was a bad one, but I obeyed . When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was wrong. Because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. At first, I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed impatient. I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I broke a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to help me, and she also showed me how to make change. If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over three quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more smoothly after that.By the end of the day, I could remember orders, add up the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little disappointed when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she suggested that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy imagining the restaurant I would open one day.〔湖南卷〕36-55BACCD DABCD DCBDB ADCDATranslate the underlined sentences and recite them.〔陕西卷〕I was having my dinner at McDonald’s one evening when an old couple slowly walked in . They ordered their meal, took a table near the window and started taking food out of the plate. There was one hamburger , one order of French fries (炸薯条) and one drink . The man divided the food into two halves and carefully placed one before his wife.He took a sip (一小口) of the drink . His wife also took one and then set the cup down between them. “That poor old couple! All they can afford is one meal for the two of them,” thought I. As the man began to eat his French fries, I rose to my feet, went over and said that I was willing to buy another meal for them. But he kindly refused me and said that they made it a habit to share everything .Surprisingly, the lady didn’t take a bite.

As years went by, the record closer and closer to four minutes and Roger Bannister, a young English athlete, began to believe he might break this almost magic barrier.It was a cold afternoon on May 6th, 1954. When Bannister knew he had a real chance. Bannister had been training hard and was very fit, but the weather condition were a real worry to him. Describing the event later, Bannister said, “On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I lined up for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved gently now. This was the moment when I made my decision.“The gun fired. My legs seemed to meet no resistance, as if I was pushed forward by some unknown force . The noise from the faithful crowd gave me greater strength. I felt the moment of a lifetime had come.”“I was driven on by a combination of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy but it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they never could have done in previous years. When I leapt at(冲向) the finishing tape, I fell, almost unconscious .“I know I had done it, even before I heard the time. The announcement came, “Result of the one mile….

(铺路公司) in Atlanta, USA. In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her imagination and skill but left her flying high.“When the Atlanta Airport was under construction in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars could be on site when the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! No other local paving company wanted to do the job, stating it couldn’t be done in such a short time.“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were willing to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and promised our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also reminded them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, but they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.“We got the job and immediately went into action. Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our next challenge was to keep the rock mixture wet enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one. Instead, I got a special permit to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then I personally held one of those hoses to water down the rock.“Those ten days were filled with challenges that required one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the only company that had cars on the parking lot.“The key to our success was having the courage to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”〔江苏卷〕36-55: CADDC ADBCB BABDC BDADATranslate the underlined sentences and recite them.〔山东卷〕Life is filled with challenges.

This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone his little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well – adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why, so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training.

As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty – five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole – such as child –centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils –there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future. Another important error is mixed – ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed – ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practise it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern。

Why this similarity in olfactory genes is difficult to explain, for now. 10 Perhaps, as the team suggests, it draws us to similar environments but thereis more 11 it. There could be many mechanisms working in tandem that 12 us in choosing genetically similar friends 13 than "functional kinship" of being friends with 14 !One of the remarkable findings of the study was that the similar genes seem to be evolving 15 than other genes.

Indeed,I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and (5) him as he travelled around the world,giving talks and collecting medals.I soon discovered some of Stephen's singular (6) .The first,of course,was that he was very smart.Students are probably always in awe of their (7) and with Stephen the awe was even greater.Indeed,on matters of physics,I always regarded him as an oracle,just a few words from him yielding(产生)insights that would have taken weeks to (8) on my own.However,Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to illumination.Once I asked a question about something that was (9) me.He thought about it silently for several minutes and I was quite (10) with myself for asking something that Stephen couldn't answer immediately.His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he wasclearly having to think about it very deeply.Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep.Nowadays,I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students,so I recall this incident with amusement.The other human side of Stephen is that he didn't suffer fools gladly and sometimes got annoyed.One of the stories put around is that he would vent his frustration by running over students 'toes.I'm not sure about that-he once ran over the toes of the Prince of Wales,and I'm sure that was just an accident.On the other hand,I well recall one occasion when I made a remark in the departmental common room at tea time that showed I had misunderstood what he'd been saying.Stephen screamed “No!"so loudly that his wheelchair shot back halfway across the room under the recoil.I was most impressed that a single word from him could have such (11) consequences.I also learned about Stephen's stubbornness and determination to continue doing things for himself as long as possible,despite the relentless progress of his illness.For example,because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge,I also had offices in both places.I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift(probably illegally!)between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car.I found this rather (12) because I thought he drove faster than was ter,he had to discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible.One regret is he didn't live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.I'm often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群)of great physicists.There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be (13) like runners in an Olympic race.Stephen himself never (14) to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been (15) because of his iconic status.His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous,but I doubt any other (16) physicist will achieve the accolade of being interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.Stephen died on Einstein's birthday and was born on the date of Galileo's death,so it's (17) that he should be connected to his two greatest heroes in this way.I doubt Stephen would haveattributed much significance to this,but he would certainly (18) that we don't understand the mystery of time.In any case,the synchronicity is fitting because his first major discovery was that spacetime trajectories can have singular endpoints where strange things may happen.Stephen was the most (19) person I have ever known and I feel truly (20) that he was my friend.1.A.Otherwise B.Nevertheless C.Moreover D.Therefore2.A.worldwide B.popular C.evident D.neutral3.A.in process of B.on account of C.in possession of D.accounting for4.A.familiar B.acquainted C.intimate D.related5.A.accompanied B.served C.treated D.entertained6.A.habits B.habitats C.tempers D.characteristics7.A.supervisors B.inspectors C.tutors D.conductors8.A.work out B.pick out C.put out y out9.A.bothering B.puzzling C.disordering D.suffering10 A.satisfied B.delighted C.impressed D.amused11 A.distant B.dramatic C.remote D.distinct12 A.fairy B.chilly C.scary D.nasty13 A.leveled B.classified C.ranked D.awarded14 A.claimed B.appealed C.fastened D.applied15 A.outnumbered B.emphasized C.outlined D.exaggerated16 A.optimistically B.potentially C.positively D.contemporary17 A.magic B.odd C.mysterious D.procedure18 A.overtake B.promote C.confess D.acknowledge19 A.singular B.strange C.single D.simple20 A.enjoyable B.grateful C.privileged D.rewarding【答案】BCBCA DAABC BCCAD DBDAC【解析】1，根据前面一句中，我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人，后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知，作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼，但是与自己关系密切，所以用让步比较合适，答案选B.2，由本段后文中可推出，我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them, there’s something highly exciting about 41 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 42 at hiding. They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 43 .For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 44 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures. But our 45 research results in child developmental psychology 46 that idea.We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC. Each 47 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 48 . We then asked the child if she could 49 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 50 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 51 children said that they couldn’t 52 to her.A number of 53 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 54 the questions and knew 55 what was asked of them. Their 56 to the questions reflected their true 57 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.”They simply 58 mutual(相互的) recognition and regard. Our 59 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head, it is not a result of egocentrism. In fact, children consider this method 60 when others use it.41.

I was considering this while working as a 41 just a few weeks ago. And it came to me then how much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 42 of gratitude(感谢).My thoughts were soon 43 . We had a woman patient who was 44 from a knee replacement operation. One afternoon, while 45 to get into bed she collapsed(倒下) from what was 46 discovered to be a heart attack. The collapse was disastrous, 47 the emergency medical team and good teamwork. But she recovered, though 48 _, and was ready for discharge(出院) after four weeks.She was 49 for everything that the medical and nursing team had done for her. On her day of discharge, we shared in her 50 at her recovery. As she was 51 she was eager to say 52 to each of us in the nursing team. When she 53 one nurse, she tried to press a five-pound note into her hand. My colleague 54 to accept it, saying that we were all just 55 our job. The patient looked puzzled, and then 56 : “Oh this isn’t for the _57__ I had. I take that as a 58 . No, this is for setting my hair yesterday.”And there you have it.

The 42 might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers(冰川) are disappearing, changing the 43 of Kilimanjaro.Hearing these stories, I’m 44 about the place — other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.However, I soon 45 that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 46 among tons of rubbish. I find a 47 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 48 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be 49 .The best of a Kilimanjaro 50 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the to p. Mountains are 51 as spiritual places by many cultures. This 52 is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as 53 go through five ecosystems(生态系统) in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, 54 lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 55 — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I 56 twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 57 : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. 58 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 59 snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.Does Kilimanjaro 60 its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peace?

I 41 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t43 enough about free credits, news about our 44 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 45 I would be learning from one of the game’s 46 . I could hardly wait to 47 him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and 52 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54 .Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I' m still putting to use what he 55 me: “the absolute most important 56 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57 . On every single move you have to 58 a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 59 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 60 as a journalist.41.

I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language(美式手语).I never felt an urge to 43 any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 44 languages were enough in all my interactions(交往). Little did I know that I would discover my 45 for ASL.The 46 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 47 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very 48 of communicating without speaking 49 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50 . This newness just left me 51 more.After that, feeling the need to 52 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to 53 the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54 progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 55 those meetings and learn all I could.The following term, I 56 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 57 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 58 , if there had been any talking, it would have 59 us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60 way of communication it opens.41. A. searching B. planning C. natural D. formal42. A. progress B. experience C. major D. opinion43.

One morning in 2009, Larry was 41 along I65 north after delivering to one of his 42 . Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on. 43 he got closer, he found 44 vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed 45 shooting out from under the 46 vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and 47 the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.The man who had his bright lights on 48 and told Larry he had 49 an emergency call. They 50 heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. 51 the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay 52 until the emergency personnel arrived, 53 she thought the car was going to 54 .

On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “ 41 my job. Family to Feed.”At this store, a 42 like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make a 43 on how bad it must be to have to stand 44 in the cold wind.In the store, I asked each of my kids to 45 something they thought our “friend” there would 46 . They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a 47 . I thought about it. We were 48 on cash ourselves, but… well, sometimes 49 from our need instead of our abundance is 50 what we need to do! All the kids 51 something they could do away with for the week.When we handed him the bag of 52 , he lit up and thanked us with 53 eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for 54 his family might need, he burst into tears.This has been a wonderful 55 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 56 ! Things would have played out so 57 if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have 58 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in 59 , it also gave my kids the 60 taste of h elping others.

As a matter of fact, we can see this 41 at work in people of all 42 . For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 43 with their new toys. But their 44 soon wears off and by January those 45 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 46 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 47 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 48 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 49 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 50 but are soon looking forward to 51 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 52 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 53 drove for hours at a time when they first 54 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 55 to do a lot of 56 things, which they never had 57 to do while working. But 58 after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they 59 . And, like the child in January, they go searching for new 60 .41.

We were asked to “ 37 a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some members,38 , chose to use wheelchairs. Others wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).Just sitting in the wheelchair was a 39 experience. I had never considered before how 40 it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down my 41 made the chair begin to roll. Its wheels were not 42 . Then I wondered where to put my 43 . It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into 44 . I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of 45 for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary46 .I tried to find a 47 position and thought it might be restful, 48 kind of nice, to be 49 around for a while. Looking around, I 50 I would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I 51 the heavy wheels. I came to know that controlling the 52 of the wheelchair is not going to be a (an) 53 task.My wheelchair experiment was soon 54 . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the 55 , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.36. A. curious about B. interested in C. aware of D. careful with37.

According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact even with friends, certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 --which the Latino will in return regard as 50 .Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 .36. A. straighter B. louder C. harder D. further37.

After 39 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 40 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 41 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 42 your own senses.”Twenty years later, the 43 could guess what the professor had in mind. He 44 himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting 45 into an unknown world invisible (无形的) to the 46 , which can be discovered only through scientific 47 . But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even 48 the invitation. She was just 49 to understand the world. And she 50 that her firsthand experience could be the 51 . The professor, however, said that it was 52 . He was taking away her only 53 for knowing and was providing her with no substitute (替代). “I remember feeling small and 54 .” The woman says, “and I did the only thing I could do. I 55 the course the afternoon, and I haven’t gone near science since.”36. A. art B. history C. science D. math37. A. searched for B. looked at C. got through D. marched into38.
