Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited meI 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 morningMy friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours laterI forgot to be mad at them and went 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 lather told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，theres no telling what might have happenedA broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung.”My mother may have said more，but I didnt hearI didnt hear anything except those terriblewords：Leave me aloneMy dad said them to save himself from being hurt moreHow 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 conversationI held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him“Daddy I am so sorry.”“Its okay，sweetheartIll be okay”“No，”I said，“I mean about what I said to you that dayYou know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could flyHe looked at me and said“Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day， not before，during or after the accident I remember kissing you goodnight the night before，though”He managed a weak smile My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable powerThey can hurt or theycan healAnd we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.56The author was in bad mood that morning because . Ahis father had a terrible accident Bhe couldnt drive to the mall with his friends Chis friends hadnt invited him to the cinema Dhis father didnt allow him to go out with his friends57Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?ABecause he didnt go along with his father BBecause he was rude to his father that morningCBecause he failed to come earlier after the accidentDBecause he couldnt look after his father in the hospital58The reason why the authors father said he forgot everything about that day is that Ahe had a poor memory Bhe didnt wanted to comfort his sonChe just wanted to comfort his son Dhe lost his memory after the accident59What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?ADont treat your parents badlyBDont hurt others with rude wordsCDont move the injured in an accidentDDont be angry with friends at small thingsBThe Harvard Student-led Walking TourLet a student show you Harvard on a free walking tour.We welcome our neighbors to stop by the Harvard University Events & Information Center, located in the Holyoke Center Arcade at 1350 Massachusetts Avenue in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge.Let a student take you and your family，school，or organization on an engaging，hour-long historical tour of the Harvard campusThe tours leave from the Events & Information Center.

H Dgo to the Events & Information Center63The above ads is mainly intended for _. Aforeign visitors Bhigh school studentsCnew students in the university Dthose living near Harvard UniversityCIf youre a male and youre reading this, congratulations! Youre a survivor. According to statistics，youre more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia，youll die on average five years before a woman.Therere many reasons for this-typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men dont go to the doctor.“Men arent seeing doctors as often as they should，” says Dr. Gullotta.“This is particularly sofor the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike. According to a recent survey, 95of women aged between 15 and early 49s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think theyre unbeatable，”Gullotta says“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him ”Then theres the ostrich（鸵鸟）approach“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.“Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseasesBesides, the final cost is far greater，its called premature death.”64Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage?AThey can live longer than they expected BThey are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.CThey have lived long enough to read this article. DThey are more likely to survive serious diseases now65Which of the authors statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier onaverage than women according to the passage?AMen drink and smoke much more than women. BMen dont seek medical care as often as women.CMen are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases. DMen arent as cautious as women in face of danger.66Which of the following best completes the underlined sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him” （in Para 4） ?Ait could happen to me，too. Bit would be a big misfortune.CI should avoid playing golf. DI should consider myself lucky.67What does DrRoss Cartmill mean by“the ostrich approach”（in Para 5）?AA casual attitude towards ones health conditions. BA new treatment for certain psychological problemsCRefusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.DUnwillingness to find out about ones disease because of fear.DIf you are afraid of the dark，its not a big dealIts perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist“Its a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of waysAfrightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shellA small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approachesSome animals respond to fear in ways you might not expectThe first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying redeyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leavesThe leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over pondsAfter they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow intoadult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatchingIf they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs dont always hatch soonerIt turns out that hatching early brings its own dangerOnce tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them tooStaying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strongThis extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water68It can be inferred from the passage that fears .Ahelp animals grow bigger and stronger Bare less common among young animalsChelp animals move a lot to fit the environment Dare more or less important in order for animals to survive69We are told in the passage that tree frogs .Aface danger both inside their eggs and in the water Bwill grow fast if they fall into the water laterCare surprisingly clever when inside their eggs Dstay in their eggs longer if they are frightened70What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?AFurther explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of scheduleBHow the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack themCAnother example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected wayDHow tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 71 Some people are compulsive（难以自制的）shoppers.
