tomdear tom, she may still be angry with you, and she may have forgotten the friendship between you, but that doesnt mean she doesnt deserve an apology. tom, how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned up? but we rarely get that kind of expected result. so sure, e-mail her and say “hi”.tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her. but you should remember if she thinks youre apologizing just because you are lonely, she might dismiss your sincerity. therefore, dont mention that. if she wants to see you again, shell make sure that happens. even if she doesnt want to be your friend, i can assure you, shell appreciate the gesture. and it might make you think twice next time you get angry. anne46. in the letter, anne is probably _. a. toms friend b. toms teacher c. a woman reporter d. a columnist 47. what is troubling tom？ a. he cant get in touch with his former friend. b. he regrets letting his former friend leave him. c. he doesnt know whether to apologize to his former friend. d. he is uncertain whether his former friend can forgive him. 48. the underlined phrase “owned up” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”. a. returned ones wealth b. admitted ones mistake c. recovered ones courage d. controlled ones feeling 49. anne wants to tell tom that _. a. an apology is better late than never b. he should think twice before he gets angry c. its no use crying over spilt milk d. he should answer for his wrong doings b elizabeths second! in 60 years, the queen has never put a foot wrong in public. and for the last 24 of them, it turns out shes had a secret weapon the nice ella slack. the former bbc manager has, unknown to anyone except a handful of key advisers, spent the last quarter of a century acting as the queens official stand-in at rehearsals (排练) for royal events. the 69-year-old has never accepted a penny for her royal service, considering it “a pleasure and an honour” to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the queen. “how many people in the world have had a chance to sit in a royal landau (马车) or walk onto the dais (讲台) at windsor castle even before the queen has done so?” she said. while miss slack may not resemble the queen facially, she has a similar figure to the queen, standing just 5 foot. the queen is 5 foot 2 inch. she began her remarkable role in 1988, when she was working as manager of the bbcs sports and events department. a producer asked her if she could stand in for the queen to check camera angles at a rehearsal and her second career was born. since then, from the state opening of parliament (议会) to the 50th anniversary of victory day, wherever the queen is on duty miss slack is likely to have been there first. she has perfected her own version of the queens clothes, including a black patent handbag she bought in a charity shop for 1, and even styles her hair like the queen.50. whats the queens secret weapon?

a. electricity. b. electric engine. c. conductor. d. turbine.55. the advantage for the cars with hydrogen as fuel is that _. a. the cars are environmentally friendly b. the cars are cheap c. the cars run much faster d. the cars will make useful steam56. what would be the best title for the passage? a. pollution saying good-bye to the world b. iceland becomes a country without oil c. iceland planning to use water as fuel d. man able to kick the oil habit d you never see them, but they are with you every time you fly. they record where you are going, how fast you are traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. they can stand almost any disaster. they are known as the black box. when planes fall from the sky, as a yemeni airliner did on its way to the comoros islands in the indian ocean june 30,2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. so when a french submarine(潜水艇)detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. in 1958, australian scientist david warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. that was the first model for a black box, which became a requirement on all u.s. commercial flights by 1960. early models often failed to survive crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear, the safest part of the plane, from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱).that same year, the federal aviation authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow so that they can be found more easily. modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. placed in a case made of special material, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000.f .when sinking into the sea, they are also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. in the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.57. what does the author say about the black box? a. it ensures the normal functioning of an airplane. b. it can send signals in emergency. c. its ability to prevent disasters happening is incredible. d. it is a necessary device on an airplane.58. what information could be found from the black box on the yemeni airliner? a. data for analyzing the cause of the crash. b. the total number of passengers on board. c. the scene of the crash and extent of the damage. d. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.59. why was the black box redesigned in 1965? a. new materials became available by that time. b. too much space was needed when it was fixed on the plane. c. the early models often got damaged in the crash. d. the early models didnt function steadily.60. why did the federal aviation authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow? a. to distinguish them from the color of the plane. b. to remind people to handle them with care. c. to make them easily seen. d. to meet international sta
