These things come to represent, in fact, what I call 21 and love. I dont remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 22 the water. Any kind of 23 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 24 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along. But I never really liked being on the water the way my father did. I liked being 25 the water, moving through it, 26 it all around me. I was not a strong 27 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 28 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my fathers office and 29 those summer days with my father, who 30 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 31 person not in swimsuit. After swimming, I would go 32 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 33 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 34 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldnt be playing with his 35 . But my father always 36 and said easily, “Oh, no, its 37 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 38 an ice cream A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 39 .” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 40 , in that childhood, look at us.21.

Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan. MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program. The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform. MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.53. According to this text, edX is _. A. a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB. a free computer program by MIT and Harvard C. a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD. a free program online for universities worldwide54. What is said about online education in the text? A. Universities have been trying online courses.B. About 2,000 online courses have been offered. C. Over 100 million people have finished courses online. D. Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.55. The underlined part in the text probably means “ ”. A. Get ready for the difficultiesB. Get ready for this educational change C. Get prepared to complete the online courses D. Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses56. What can be said about MITx according to the text? A. It is first offered as part of the edX learning program. B. It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program. C. It is a standard to recognize online learners achievement. D. It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.Passage B The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been addeda communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.The Suns activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites, said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Suns atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications, Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the labs director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth If we have advance warning, well be able to reduce the damage. What you dont want is things switching off for a week with no idea of whats caused the problem, he said.72. The phrase communications blackout in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _ during the 2012 Olympics. A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systems C. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage? A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth. B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle. C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth. D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to_. A. take images of the solar system B. provide early warning of thunderstorms C. keep track of solar activities D. improve the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger C. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledPassage C In todays throw-away society, dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green mannerlargely through encouraging recyclingits aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils ( Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders ) face fines around 18 million a year from 2013 if they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down - after 700 local objections reached them because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59. The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is _. A. recycling B. restoring C. burying D. burning60. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to _. A. reduce the cost of burying waste B. meet the EU requirements C. speed up waste recycling D. replace landfill sites61. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because _. A. it came from a private company B. the council was not interested in it C. it was not supported by EU D. the local people were against it62. What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils? A. To open a new landfill nearby. B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015. C. To set up a plant for burning waste.D. To persuade people to deduce their waste.Passage D GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters)A fish that lives in mangrove swamps (红树沼泽) across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows. The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida. The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize. “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at
