It was full of 33 . It had places where pieces had been 34 and other pieces put in, but they didnt fit quite right, and there were several jagged（锯齿状的）edges. 35 , in some places there were deep gouges（孔）where whole pieces were missing.The young man laughed. “Comparing your heart with mine, mine is 36 of scars.”Yes, said the old man, Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar 37 a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that 38 into the empty place in my heart. But because the pieces arent exact, I have some 39 edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we 40 . Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay 43 , reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space Ive been waiting. So now do you see what true 45 is? The young man walked up to the old man, 46 into his perfect heart, and ripped6) a piece out. He offered it to the old man. The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the 47 in the young mans heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man 49 at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old mans heart 50 into his. They embraced7) and walked away side by side.

My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Springhill College in Mobile and, though much beloved and respected in the community, earned barely enough to provide for his large family. My father often said it was only the hardheaded thriftiness of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay. As a consequence of this example, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of an insecure existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院), and to college I went. Before my graduation form Columbia, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career which I always think of as the wasted years.Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely discontented I became acutely miserable. My one ambition was to save enough to quit and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad. The family being once more solvent, and my help no longer necessary, I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. I was meant to do.If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those intangibles, those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are too often sacrificed when a mans primary goal is financial success. Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.51The authors parents discouraged him from studying music chiefly because .Athey didnt understand why music was so important to him.Bthey didnt know whether he would be a successful musician.Cthey didnt believe any conservatory was as good as Columbia.Dthey didnt think as a music teacher he would make much money.52For what did the author leave Columbia before he graduated?AHe received a good job offer.BHe couldnt wait to study music.CHe felt he should help his family.DHe was dissatisfied with Columbia.53Which of the following statements about the authors business career is true?AHe made a large amount of money.BHe didnt enjoy his career in business.CHe worked very hard as a businessperson.DHe didnt think his profession was noble one.54From the passage we know that the author believes .Aone shouldnt sacrifice his inner satisfactions for the sake of moneyBa persons primary goal in life shouldnt be financial successCparents should not always tell their children what to doDnot everyone can have a successful career in businessBA team of British engineers will announce a plan for the worlds first 1,000 mph car, a pencil shaped vehicle designed to break the world land speed record. The 12,000,000 car, known as Bloodhound SSC, is to be announced today by Paul Drayson, the science minister for the UK government. It would be able to reach traveling faster than a speeding bullet. The Bloodhound team plans to have the car but year, with the record attempt expected in three years.The project brings together fighter pilot Andy Green, who set the current land speed record of 763 mph with Trust SSC in 1997 and Richard Noble, who directed that attempt.The car will be the first to combine a jet engine for a Euro fighter Typhoon with a rocket booster (助推器). The task of driving the vehicle will fall on Andy Green, 46. He will use an accelerator (加速器) to power the jet engine up to speeds of around 350 mph and tussled rocket booster. At that point, a V 12 racing Car engine will start pumping more, of hydrogen peroxide (过氧化氢) into the booster, forcing the car to 1,000 mph in 20 seconds.Team members are now visiting sites where the record attempt will be made. The current record was set at Black Rock Desert in Nevada, US. But that is impossible now as ground conditions there have become worse since 1997. in the next week or two, Green will visit a site in South Africa. Other possible places are the salt flats of the US and Australia. John Piper, the lead engineer on the project, said the team would get started next month.The plan was put forward by Drayson, a racing car enthusiast, as a project to inspire a new generation o f scientisits and engineers, who are in desperately short supply in the UK. “We dodnt have enough young people taking science and maths. These are difficult subjects and we have to give they young a clear reason for study them,” said Drayson.55Which of the following is true ob Bloodhound SSC?AIt will be put on the market in three years.BIt can accelerate from 350 mph to 1,050 mph in 12 seconds.CIt is powered only by a solid rocket booster.DIt will beat the current record by more than 250 mph.56Where did Andy Green set the current world land speed record?AIn South Africa.BIn the United States.CIn the United Kingdom.DIn Australia.57Who will be the driver of Bloodhound SSC?APaul Drayson.BRichard Noble.CAndy Green.DJohn Piper.58Paul Drayson hopes that Bloodhound SSC will .Ainspire more young people to study science and technologyBattract more attention from other scientists and engineersCbreak the world land speed record as soon as possibleDbring more job opportunities to they young generationC “I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.” Hery David Thoreau. When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.Woodchoppers(伐木者) and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drfiting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days” when idleness was the most attractive and productive business.”I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what the always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer finds much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city. The swamps (沼泽地)where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with hourses. The bay where water lilies（睡莲） quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer existsexcept in the mans memory of it.Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.Those who truly treasure the past will not regret the passing of the good old days, because days protected in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.59The underlined phrase Iron Horse (in Paragraph 3) probably refers to .Aa means of transport Ba type of animalCa kind of factory Da mud-rock flow60In what way was the author similar to Thoreau?ABoth of them tried to stop woodchoppers from cutting the trees. BBoth of them enjoyed playing at a pond in summer.CBoth of them were good at rowing boats.D Both of them were from rich families.61he author thinks that it is wrong to .Aforget the past.Bdamage the forestsCruin natural beautyDhave hope for the future62Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ANeither Today nor Tomorrow MattersBMemories of the Past to Be TreasuredCSunny Hours and Summer DaysDIn Love with A PondDReal Christmas trees on farms would not exist if people stopped buying them. Just one acre of growing Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for at least eighteen people.Christmas tree farms protect water supplies, stabilize soil, and help protect wildlife. The forests of North America spread over roughly the same area of land as they did a century ago and in the past ten years have in fact expanded by almost ten million acres. Furthermore, to guarantee a steady supply, one to three new seedlings are planted for every tree they harvest.With global warming being such a major concern, developing woodlands is an essential part of the fight. While potted trees are a better alternative than artificial (人工的), they require a certain amount of care. But it would be a better choice than a plastic tree which will remain under the ground for centuries once its discarded.On average, it takes a Christmas tree five to sixteen years to become mature.
