I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”56. In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tries to tell us that _.A. he had lived in Washington D.C. for twenty yearsB. he was very imaginative when he was a childC. he had had pleasant memories of his old neighborhoodD. he had come from a very poor neighborhood57. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood in Washington D.C.?A. Greatly surprised. B. Very regretful. C. Quite excited. D. Very sad.58. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building _.A. seemed unfit to live in B. had been repairedC. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible59. “You can never go home again” in the last sentence of this passage means that _.A. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absenceB. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memoryC. a visit to ones hometown will bring back ones pleasant memories of homeD. a visit to ones hometown will bring back many sad memoriesBFrom a very early age, some children exhibit betterself-control than othersNow, a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult yearsResearchers have been studying this group of children for decades nowThey observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayedParents，teachers, even the kids themselves scored the youngsters on measures like “acting before thinking” and “Persistence in reaching goals”The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin New Zealand“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s，” Moffitt said, “and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income”Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kidsMoffitt said its still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influenceBut good self-control can be set to run in families, because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parentsBut the good news，Moffitt said is that self-control can be taught by parents and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective60. From the first two paragraphs we learn that _A. the research has been carried out for five yearsB. self-control in kids tends to determine their futureC. self-control was assessed by childrens intelligenceD. childrens self-control is almost the same at early age61Children with low self-control are more likely to _A. become wealthy in later life B. get good school performanceC. have better financial planning D. adopt negative behaviors62. According to Moffitt, _A. only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the futureB. scientists know well why some children have better self-controlC. self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activityD. will-power as a child really influences peoples chances of adulthood63. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Self-control cannot be taught in schoolsB. The study is restricted within few participantsC. Its never too late to deal with self-control problemsD. Good parenting can improve self-control and life successCLiverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遗产) Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist(薄雾), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpools history.As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries(美术馆) than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britains No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpools famous Philharmonic pub(酒馆). It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.64. Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by_A. its charming banks B. its famous museumsC. its wonderful palaces D. its attractive buildings65. The third paragraph is developed mainly by_A. providing different examples B. following the order of spaceC. making comparisons D. analyzing causes66. The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that_A. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurantsB. Liverpool is an impressive place full of attractionC. a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselvesD. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journeyDWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even askBut, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching historyLet me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying historyThe major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the pastI am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failuresHowever, as the unfortunately true statement goes the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing thisA second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical contextWe can- not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less （更不必说） try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to beI teach my children history, for one more reasonI purchased a set of historical audio （录音机） tapes for our childrenMy seven-year-old son listened to them over and overIt was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himselfI think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplishedI also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for67. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _A. it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB. it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC. it helps us understand why things are the way they areD. it helps people accept the present situation where they live68. Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show _A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB. people may also learn from bad historical figuresC. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD. todays people can also achieve what they achieved69. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to teach history effectivelyB. Some negative reasons for studying historyC. How to get more people to study historyD. Some bad historical figures70. The main purpose of this passage is to _A. inspire the parents to teach their children historyB. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study historyD. introduce the writers own way of teaching history第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选入能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中的两项为多余选项。Ali is from a Middle Eastern country.
