We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your friends got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years. I want to thank you for calling mefor your sake.”Jimmy inspired me to 54 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It s never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.36.

Michael Sessions, 18, beat former mayor Douglas Ingles, 51, by just two votes and became the new mayor of Hillsdale. He is Americas youngest mayor. As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept.22, one day after his l8-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign(战役), which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots(选票). To help get his name known, Sessions earned $700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdales lawns. Sessions month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the towns future in the kitchens of his neighbours. “Theyd look at me, and say How old are you again? How much experience do you have? And I say Im still in high school,” he saidSessions promised Hillsdales voters he would renew local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time,” he explained. One day he spent so 1ong out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room. Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job as a mayor. “From 7:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Ill be a studentFrom 3 to 6, Ill be mayor of Hillsdale.” he said “He did a very brave thing that couldnt have been easy for him to do,” said Jack Vetted，a councilman in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 about 75 miles southwest of Detroit. “He does care about this town. Hes been here all his life.” Sessions will receive $3,600 a year during his four-year term, and will work out of his bedroom since the town does not provide the mayor with an office56. What is true of Sessions election campaign according to the text? A. Sessions launched his election campaign on Sept.22. B. Sessions worked so hard that he once tried to persuade people in a hospital. C. Sessions won the election campaign by a very close outcome(结果). D.

American mayors receive a salary of 3,600 a year during their 4-year term.59. Which of the following would best summarize the text? A. Schoolboy becomes Americas youngest mayor. B. How to become a teenage mayor. C. Hard work is the ticket to success. D. Never too young to shake the world.B Feb.3,2006According to CCTV international, Chinese scientists have recently taken the lead in building the first full superconducting experimental nuclear fusion(核聚变) device known as “artificial sun” in the world, which will produce energy like the sun. It is reported that this device consists of five layers of components(成分) from inside to outside and the circulating magnet container in the innermost layer looks like a giant “swim ring”. In experimental tests, the temperature of inner “swim ring” will reach as high as 100 million degrees Celsius. Therefore, such component is a significant part to stimulate solar fusion reaction. Wan Yuanxi, who is in charge of the project called Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST), an important scientific project under Chinas ninth five-year plan, explained the reason why the sun always gives off light and why the energy it produces will not decrease. Under high pressure and high temperature, fusion reactions will take place from inside to outside of the sun. Such fusion reactions will give rise to a great deal of energy to enable the sun to continuously emit light and heat. However, fusion reactions on the sun are uncontrollable, just like H-bomb explosion seen on the earth. Huge amount of energy will be produced in a minute, which may be destructive. In order to make use of such energy, a transformation from the process of energy production to a stable, sustainable and controllable process is needed. EAST is serving to initiate such a transformation. Under magnetic force, the operation of hydrogen plasma isotope(同位素)will be restrained in the “swim ring” and high density collision will happen, namely the fusion reactions. The hydrogen isotope got from one liter of seawater can produce energy equal to 300 liters of gasoline through complete fusion reactions. Wan said that we can get endless clean energy by producing such a device for accomplishing fusion reactions, which is equal to one or a few small suns made by human beings themselves so that they can ceaselessly obtain energy from nuclear fusions.60. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Wan Yuanxi and His Invention B. Sun and the “Artificial Sun” C. How to Produce the “Artificial Sun” D. China Built Worlds First “Artificial Sun”61. What does the underlined word “artificial”(in para.1)mean? A. not real B. man-made C. actual D. ancient62. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The temperature of the innermost part of the “artificial sun” will reach as high as 100 000 000 B. EAST is an important scientific project under Chinas ninth five-year plan. C. Such fusion reactions in the “artificial sun” will give us limited energy. D. The hydrogen isotope got from one liter of seawater can produce energy equal to 300 liters of gasoline through complete fusion reactions.63. Whats the purpose of making the “artificial sun”? A. To get more energy B. To get more light C. To have the sun shining us in 24 hours D. To study inside of the real sunC Eight Days for just 299 Departs May October 2006 Includes: Return flights from 8 UK airports to Naples Return airport to hotel transport Seven nights accommodation at the 3 Hotel Nice(double rooms) The services of guides Government taxes Join us for a wonderful holiday in one of Europes most wonderful corners.
