The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , Id return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then Id 44 a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. Id again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of 48 . After that shed hug me and Id stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.Hugs will 50 be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “Youre never too old to 51 your mother.” Ive heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere.

Unknown to the man，two things had occurred which were to affect his life that dayOn the thirteenth f1oor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate openDown in the basement, a pipe had burst and，it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feetModern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents，but this was ancient equipment unreliable，slow，dangerous，and suitable material to recycleThe man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.Good! The life gate was open. The life must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy life made its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cagee was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash!Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.59What do we learn about the man? AHe fell from the 13th floor.BHe was hit by an ambulance CHe got caught in a serious floodDHe made a record for high-diving.60By “had no business to be alive”，the writer means that the man .Ahad missed his business appointmentBwas alive with excitementCwas alive and this was surprisingDdidnt do any business61Tile lift did not have a fail-safe system because it was .AnarrowBslowC1argeDold62Which of the following was NOT the cause of the accident?AA pipe burstBThe man oversleptCThe hotel forgot to call himDSomeone left the lift door openCA gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest househo1d invention since the microwave.Using the same technology as a dehumidifier（除湿器），the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited sourcethe airThe company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water indeveloped countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortageThe machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter（过滤器）and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water dropletsIt can produce up to 1 2 liters a dayThe Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost 800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.Environmentalists state that half the worlds population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that wont be much of a problem.63What does the underlined word “it” refer do?ADrinking water.BInvention.CMicrowave.DWater Mill.64What do we learn about the machine?AIt works in the same way as microwaves.BIt is very expensive for families to afford.CIt absorbs steam and turns it into water.DIt helps to make the water clean to drink.65What does the passage lead us to believe?AThe cost of water will go up.BBottled water will disappear sooner.CThe machine is energy saving.DThe machine will be popular worldwide.66Whats the best title for the passage?AA New Way to Solve Water Problem.BA Machine to Make Water out of Air.CA Dehumidifier to Produce Water.DAn Absolutely New InventionDRecently there was a major discovery in the scientific researchthe mapping of all DNA in a human gene（基因） is completeCouple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplishAll this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far awayHuman cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality or religionTaking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloningIf the clone was free of genetic limitationsthen the other clone would be as wellThe latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to termMoreover, cloning would enable women, who cant get pregnant, to have children of their ownCloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organsThis, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single （or more） organ （s）It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientistsArguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical sidePrimarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal cycle of lifeThere would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, developmentthe fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environmentLife processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearanceFurthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappearThus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as objects rather than people in the societyScientists havent 100 per centguaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normalThus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human gene-poolRegarding such arguable topics in black or white approach seems very innocent to me personallyWe should rather try to look at all shades of itI believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humansThen we could regard this as for saving life instead of creating lifeI believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable67Which of the following is true according to the passage?AGenetic limitation will be beneficial for some womenBA large number of genes will prevent us from developing CProhibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientistsDFirst cloned humans might be normal according to scientists68Whats the authors opinion on cloning?ACloning should be entirely bannedBCloning should be used in creating lifeCCloning will take away the right to reproduceDCloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs69Where can you read this article?AIn a story book BIn a magazineCIn a science fiction DIn a brochure70Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992.
