For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed 36 clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments 37 all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents, 38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life 39 smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into 40 arguments with my older and wiser parents. The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d 44 a knock and ha rdly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of 48 . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.
Hugs will 50 be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to 51 your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so 54 . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite 55 .

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Caries
“My God，you’re tall，” he said.
Of course，the class began to laugh. Angry．I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest That would be the laststraw But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway，every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish，it was for a date with Reed Harrington
“Take that seat，” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky ne wcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one，in the back of the room
Carlos grinned “But I need a couple of dictionaries.”Again the class laughed，but now they were laughing with Carlos，not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice－president. “How come?”I kept asking myself,“How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”
So that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn’t seem to bother you-being short.”He looked up at me , “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin，I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,”I admitted, “But what bout me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.”
“The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…60．The author was angry because .

C
He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; and those who can't, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and resist the urge to remind the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers — that they make money from the misfortune of others.
"I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor," he says to me. “Be honest. What do you make?”
I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him
a lesson.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a great achievement and an A- feel like a failure. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
I hope I haven’t called at a bad time,
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”
And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.”
I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be. You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them think.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible.
I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tires to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a great difference! What about you?

Technology: Taking the good without the bad?
Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives. This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science u nderlying them. There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding. We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science
underneath, and that is very dangerous.
The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology (纳米技术), artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt. But they are going to be very, very dangerous. I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence. I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain. Target date is 2015. The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator(终结者) is that the people win. If you're fighting against technology which is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win.
Nanotechnology. We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue. And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT. Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek(星际迷航). And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much.
Eventually these technologies will become routine. That’s a threat to humanity.
I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down. So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools. The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger. I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed.
72．From the text, we know tha t the author’s greatest concern is .
A．our lack of technological understanding of the process involved
B．our lack of technological capability
C．creating technology without really understanding the basic science
D．our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create
73．It can be inferred from the text that the author .
A．thinks people overvalue the capabilities of technology
B．is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positively C．thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriously
D．believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically
74．Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win?
A．Because the power of the technology is exaggerated(夸大).
B．Because the strength of the machines is much greater.
C．Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans.
D．Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle. 75．The author’s attitude toward the advanced technologies is .
A．worried B．positive C．interested D．scared

五、One possible version：
Owing to the lack of money, most migrant schools have no modern equipment, no playground, no libraries, and even not enough teachers. However, we find that the migrant kids are just as keen on study as us. In order to improve the situation, we think our government should take measures to pour more money into migrant schools. As for us, the local students, can help to collect money or donate books to them.
We do hope that the whole society can care more about migrant kids, because if everyone contributes a bit, migrant kids can surely enjoy equal education opportunity.
