It and Brendan grew 36 and when we sold the house, eight years later, the tree branched out over our heads. We were sorry we had to leave it 37 when we moved to New South Wales.A young couple bought our home and were 38 with it. When travelling from the north coast to Sydney,39 the next 37 years, we or one or 40 of our growing children couldn’t resist the call to drive past. On perhaps four 41 we even stopped to speak with the owners. The owners still loved the home and seemed not to 42 at all that we didn’t 43 leave them alone.It had been a bout ten years 44 our last visit and the tree had been 45 some years earlier.

Each week we distributed backpacks filled with a weekend’s worth of food for at-risk students in our district.Our packing area was in o ne of the district’s high schools, made up of students who could not make it in a traditional classroom, or who had academic issues that would keep them from graduating. The headmaster of the academy assigned us a young man having classroom and personal issues. Andrew was a polite, handsome young man with a ready smile, but his eyes showed hurt and he seemed fearful of adults.During the packing, he did what we asked but we could tell his heart was not in it. But after a few weeks, our young volunteer started to warm up to us and the job. After a month, Andrew was very involved and inviting other young people to help us. We could see he was excited to be given a leadership role.We came to rely on Andrew more and more. Then he goofed up and was driven out of school for three days. The following week my co-chair and I talked to Andrew, letting him know how important he was to the organization and how he had disappointed us with his behavior. You could see the tears in his eyes during our talk.As the months passed, we could see a change in Andrew. He became focused and positive about his future. A few months before June, he informed us excitedly that he was going to graduate. I think that might have been one of his proudest moments. The headmaster later told us that had we not stepped in and given him support, encouragement and guidance, he was sure Andrew would have been dead from violence.As graduation approached, students talked about who they were inviting and how proud they would be to have their families there, but Andrew had no one who would come. I knew that I could not let him down, not after all his growth and improvement. I would be there for him.As the proud graduates walked in to sit on stage, I could see a light in his eyes as he approached. When he reached me, he touched my hand, as if to say thank you. Tears welled up in both of our eyes.I learned that my dear friend Andrew turned his life around. He is now in his second year in a university and doing very well. Not only had we fed him meals on weekends through his own Blessing in a Backpack, we had fed his soul.56. The high school mentioned in the passage is a(n) _______.A. traditional schoolB. special schoolC. academic schoolD. voluntary school57. It can be inferred from the passage that at first Andrew ______.A. worked very hardB. didn’t contribute to the programC. liked the work very muchD. focused little on the work58. The underlined phrase “goofed up” in paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.A. made a silly mistakeB. made a firm promiseC. organized the programD. played a key role59. The author holds the view that _______is more important.A. providing food for peopleB. making people work hardC. supporting people spirituallyD. correc ting people’s mistakesBTIRANA (Reuters) — Of 14 sorties (架次) flown by British World War Two (WWⅡ) pilots supplying Anti-Nazi fighters in Albania on Oct. 29, 1944, 12 returned tothe base in Italy, one failed to drop its load and “the other is missing and assumedto have crashed”, according to offi cial records.For seven decades, the bomber was believed to be at the bottom of the AdriaticSea. Then, last October, a British and U.S. team climbed into the Albanian mountains to find its wreckage (残骸) spotted by a villager there.The vital clue would c ome in the form of a gold ring, the inside of it carved with “Joyce & John”, kept by an Albanian villager Jaho Cala and then his son.“My father gave it to me when I got married in 1971, but told me clearly the ring did not belong to our family and I was t o return it to its owner,” Jaho’s son, Xhemil Cala, told Reuters.Twenty years later, Cala, a police officer, always wore the ring. But he had not given up returning it to its rightful owner. Finally, he contacted the embassies of the US and Britain —the two countries that helped liberate Albania from the Nazis a month after Flt Sgt Thompson’s death. Three months later, the British embassy confirmed the ring was Flt Sgt Thompson’s, and contacted his family. Then the riddle was solved.A flight engineer, Sergeant John Thompson and Joyce Mozley got married in June 1944 but only spent a weekend together before being posted overseas. Thompson’s plane dropped supplies to the Biza valley, but on turning west to return to Italy, it crashed, killing its crew. His wife remarried after the war and passed away in 1995. At the ceremony in Albania’s Defence Ministry, Cala kneeled as he handed the ring to Thompson’s 92-year-old sister,Dorothy Websteralong with a piece of rock from the mountain that brought the plane down.“Your brother helped to liberate my country. He will never be forgotten.” Defence Minister Mimi Kodheli told Webster.“I remember him very well, as if it were yesterday,” Webster told Reu ters, adding she was “excited … getting all these that we never thought we would ever get”.60. Thompson’s plane c rashed because it ___________.A. failed to drop its loadB. went down to the Adriatic SeaC. was shot down by a bomberD. hit a mountain in Albania61. This news report was most probably written in ________.A. 2012B. 2013C. 2014D. 201562. What’s the correct order of the following events?①The owner of the ring was found.②Albania was liberated.③Xhemil Cala got the ring.④The remains of the plane were found.⑤ A ceremony was held in Albania’s Defence Ministry.A. ②③①④⑤B. ②③④①⑤C.②④③①⑤D. ③②④①⑤63.

Robots can not work with humans at present mainly because _______ .A. the boundaries separate man and robotsB. some technological problems remain to be settledC. robots can break down any obstaclesD. robots are roboticists’ best friends69. According to Professor Peter Corke, _________.A. robots are intelligent enough to make decisionsB. researchers are absolutely sure about Baxter’s safetyC. spring-loaded joints are useful in stopping a robot’ s movementD. industrial robots can avoid an unexpected obstacle70. From what Dr. Sue says, we know that ________.A. “seeing” means processing imagesB. memory and action are complex processesC. robots understand their performances quite wellD. robots need “seei ng” to send feedback for control71. Robotic automation ________.A. has set foot in all industriesB. has changed the complex worldC. can hardly be applied to all fields at presentD. has made the world complex and time varyingE“The shark took about forty pounds,” the old man said aloud. He took my harpoon (鱼叉) too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again. The old man did not like to look at the remaining fish any longer sincehis fish had been ruined. When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit.But I killed the shark that hit my fish, he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen. And God knows that I have seen big ones.It was too good to last, he thought. I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers.“But man is not made for defeat,” he said. “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed.“Don’t think, old man,” he said aloud. “Sail on this course and take it when it comes.”But I must think, he thought. Because it is all I have left. That and baseball. But do you think my hands were as great a handicap as the bone spurs (刺)? I cannot know.“Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said. “Every minute now you are closer to home. You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.”He knew quite well the pattern of what could happen when he reached the inner part of the current. But there was nothing to be done now.“Yes, there is,” he said aloud. “I can tie my knife to the end of one of the oars(桨).”So he did that with the tiller (舵柄) under his arm and the sheet of the sail under his foot.“Now,” he said. “I am still an old man. But I am not unarmed.”72. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that the old man _____________.A. successfully protected his fishB. had his fish eaten up by a sharkC. killed a shark after a fierce fightD. caught a big fish of 40 pounds73. The author presents the character mainly through the description of __________.A. the wonderful conversationsB. the emotionC. the psychological activitiesD. the behaviour74. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 implies that he ________.A. can be destroyed spiritually but not defeatedB. can’t be defeated physically but destroyedC. can’t be physically and spiritually defeatedD. can be physically but not spiritually defeated75. The old man’s words at the end of the story suggest he was___________.A. worried to see sharks againB. desperate as he had nothing to fight sharks withC. confident that he could still fight sharksD. fearless though he had nothing to fight sharks with第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Lisa has always been fat.
