陆地上的船谢志强⑴早晨，太阳刚刚升起，他便站在晒谷场上，一只手叉在腰间，一只手一挥，像一个指挥千军万马的将军，他喊：起锚，出航！⑵爹叹了一口气说，疯子的船又出海了。

⑶我好奇地望着他。

我没见过海，没见过航船。

他迎着照进山岙里的阳光，穿着整齐的制服，很威武，很气派。

阳光勾勒出他的剪影。

⑷晒谷场周围是一块块水田，绿茵茵地连向山岭。

接着，他开始踱步。

我观察了好些天，他从晒谷场的东头慢慢地走向西头，沉思的样子。

晒谷场铺着水泥。

⑸我发现，他绝不多走一步，接近晒谷场的边缘，他又折回身，继续走。

他的皮肤黝黑，不是山民那种黑。

是海风吹出的黑，父亲告诉我。

我想象大海无遮无拦的阳光。

⑹他走得那么准确。

爹说他那条船跟晒谷场差不多大。

那么大一条船，我想，一个移动的晒谷场，周围的绿田不是像平静的海水吗？⑺爹说，别去打扰他，可怜的船长。

一个失去了船的船长。

我对他生出敬意，他的身材魁伟，把那一身制服撑得板板直直，好像挂在衣架上边那样。

⑻太阳在不知不觉升起，有一竿子高了，他仍重复着踱步——那是他在甲板上散步。

我希望他脚下的晒谷场能够航行。

他踱步的时候，晒谷场仿佛在飘移。

他的制服衣襟在山风里猎猎抖动。

⑼可是，天阴下来了，不知哪里钻出来了乌云，发酵似地膨胀，遮住了太阳。

They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) —some of the world‘s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question 52 me of something I‘d read somewhere before: ―Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,‖ I said. ―I choose to be cheerful.‖―Let me give you an example,‖ I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. ―In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn‘t 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.‖―As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. ‗This is my lucky day,‘ I replied, 59 .‖―‗But y our car breaks down‘, she was 60 . ‗What do you mean?‘‖―‗I live17 miles from here.‘ I replied. ‗My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‘t. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I‘m still able to teach my class, and I‘ve been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldn‘t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.‘‖―The secretary‘s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.‖ So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, ―Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.‖ To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, ―That new yellow sweater looks great on you.‖―Oh, Tom, you noticed,‖ she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, ―Evelyn‘s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.‖ We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that‘s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.―What‘s the matter?‖ I asked her.―Tom,‖ she said in a voice filled with distress, ―do you know something I don‘t?‖―What do you mean?‖―Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you‘ve been so good to me… am I dying?‖It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.―No, honey,‖ I said, wrapping her in my arms. ―Y ou‘re not dying; I‘m just starting to live.‖65. In the first paragraph, ―No ifs, ands or buts‖ probably mean ________.A. unnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly66. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.A. aloneB. with his familyC. with EvelynD. with his children67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street68. By saying ―I‘m just starting to live,‖ Tom means that ________.A. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband(B)(Note: Y ou may read the questions first.)T sunami warning system is testedIf he, the founder of the Hawaiian V olcano Observatory, were alive, Thomas Jaggar would be proud of the U.S.tsunami warning system after Friday‘s devastating earthquake in Japan sent a surge(大浪，汹涌) of ocean water dashing toward the West Coast.● W ASHINGTON— So many people surged to the West Coast and AlaskaTsunami Warning Center website that it slowed to a crawl early Friday,unable to provide critical information to the public about the coastal impactin the U.S. of a massive earthquake in Japan.McClatchy Washington Bureau — Mar 11 06:09 p.m.●CHICAGO—A tsunami warning has been issued for the central andnorthern California coast and Oregon, the National Weather Service announced early Friday.Chicago Tribune（论坛报）— Mar 11 06:07 a.m.● HONOLULU — A tsunami warning was issued late on Thursday for Hawaii after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific near Japan, prompting state civil defense officials to order all coastal areas evacuated（疏散）by 2 a.m. local time.

It is a new, uncertain journey —at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to ―let go‖ is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that ―work is her oxygen.‖ Some entrepreneurs （企业家）started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to theircreations more strongly than most.For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchill‘s warning to the House of Commons: ―If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.‖Fortunately, many business owners manage to face succession planning —courageously, openly, and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the most critical issue for family-business continuity, we‘re keenly interested in the makeup and background of those who do.Our conclusion: It‘s all a matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan succession and wh o can let go don‘t come necessarily from larger or smaller businesses. They don‘t come from businesses that are more or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement. They don‘t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the glass is half full, not half empty.72.

There is one Pwith signals76.By the 1950s many Americ an families owned television sets. During television‘s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television likedsports and action shows, but they were disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn‘t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip -readers could only ca tch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.77. In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government‘s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.78.screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning-onethat would not bother hearing people.79.In October of 1971, Norwood‘s office signed a contract with WGBH -TV , a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called ―open captions‖.80. Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder are called ―closed captions‖.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words .In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don‘t know if that was a local term or if it is universal; ―on the latch‖ meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.It is not uncommon, in most pleasant homes, to see on the windows small notices announcing that the building is closely monitored by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child‘s bicycle with the now -usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to defend ourselves against our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?With all this ―security‖, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?We trust no one. Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their station wagon key chains. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we have all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but we have also locked ourselves in.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.
