The 19 from the living room shone dimly. I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing. I quickly 20 a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so 21 . I didnt want my sisters to know my 22 so I added a postscript, “Please dont let anyone else see this.” Then I 23 moved into my parents bedroom and put the letter under Mothers pillow. The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 26 me.

God第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AGrowing up together across the street in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. “Do you think Ive somehow offended(冒犯) her?” Fry asked her husband.Turner, meanwhile, had made herself believe she was no longer important to Fry. “Shes got a family now,” she told herself. “Were just too different to be close like before.”Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing confidences.“Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry says. “We both realized we were as important to each other as ever.”There are good reasons to cherish(珍惜) our friendships.

Friends are put in a higher place than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, a researcher. “It is a heritage(传统) we should protect.”Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., says, “The better friends you are, the more probable itll be for you to face conflicts.” And the result can be what you dont wantan end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. 36.

But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to forbid residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity. Theres no more room to bury the dead. They cant be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal rules that forbid new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he says. A 2003 decree (法令) by Brazils National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area. Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to forbid residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I havent got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I cant die. Thats ridiculous,” Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said. The city council is expected to vote on the rule next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is forbidding us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be responsible for their acts”. However, it does not say what the punishment will be.52. What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim about?A. Ban on smoking in public places.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding residents from dying early.D. Forbidding burial grounds in preservation.53. What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”?A. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these rules.B. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unerpected.C. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.54. Whats the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal rules?A. He objects to them.B. He gives strong backing to them.C. He asks the residents for advice on them. D. He remains silent about them.55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against the federal rule.B.
