Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung.”My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy I am so sorry”“Its okay, sweetheart. Ill be okay. ”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.21.The author was in bad mood that morning because _.A. his father had a terrible accidentB. he couldnt drive to the mall with his friends.C. his friends hadnt invited him to the cinemaD. his father didnt allow him to go out with his friends22.Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A.

And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people youll meet throughout your life. But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do,learning bursts right open, says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called Teacher Says for the Washington Post newspaper. In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable askingquestions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,such as problems with learning or school matters, such as bullying. As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful period in your life. Youre like a sponge (海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about allthis information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the personwhos giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, andthey feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive (敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class. 25. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachers B. the importance of a good relationship with teachersC. how much the students are expected to get along with teachers D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant26. “Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at once B. you find an opening to learning C. therell be more problems with learning D. therell be no problems at all with learning27. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.CSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles, Tavella says.Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮)and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands.The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair. He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.28. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.29. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalpcomputercapwheelchairB. computercapscalpwheelchairC. scalpcapcomputerwheelchairD. capcomputerscalpwheelchair30. The team will test with real patients to .A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to them C. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings about How the Human Brain Works C. BCI Could Mean Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesDThink about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power. For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.32.From the text we know that windmills .A. were invented by European armies.B. have a history of more than 2800 years.C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas.D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered.33. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.34. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that A. wind power is cleaner.B. it is one of the oldest power sources.C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind.D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs.35. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantage of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. _36_?
