how it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be _5_.with great _6_ and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.the project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of john.washington was injured and left with a brain damage，resulting in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.everyone had a(n) _7_ comment to make and felt the

to go to the store to get some soft drinks.it seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter holly practice her driving，so i sent her to the store in my truck.at dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck.i enjoyed having it，but i said，“guy，my heart is not set on that truck.i like it but it is just metal and wont last forever.never set your heart on anything that wont last.”after hearing the loud noise，the whole family ran outside.my son shouted，“dad！dad，holloy crashed your truck.”my heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts.was anyone hurt？who else was involved？as i ran to the door，i heard a voice in my heart say，“here is a chance to show holly what you really love.shell never forget it.”the accident had occurred in my own driveway.holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle，the family van (搬运车)in her inexperience，she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal.holly was unhurt physically，but when i reached her，she was crying and saying，“oh，dad，im sorry.i know how much you love this truck.” i held her in my arms as she cried.later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.i told her the whole story.her eyes moistened and she said，“that happened to me when i was a girl.i borrowed my dads car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road.i ruined the car.when i got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”over 40 years later，she still felt the pain of the night.it was a deep wound on her soul.i remember how sad holly was the night she crashed our truck，and how i comforted her.one day，when holly thinks back on her life，i want her to know that i love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.i repaired the van，but the dent(凹痕) in my truck is still there today.every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.26which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?aall is well that ends wellbhow to educate childrencwhat really mattersdhe who makes no mistakes makes nothing27according to the passage，the underlined word “moistened” can be replaced by “_”alit up bbecame wetcwere wide open dwere closed28according to the passage，it was because_ that the crash was caused.asomething was wrong with the brakesbholly mistook the gas pedal for the brakescholly was drinking a soft drink while drivingdthe family van was parked in the wrong place29what happened to the authors friend after she ruined her dads car?ashe suffered physical pain for a long time.bshe didnt dare to drive for a long time.cher father drove her out of the house.dher father lost his temper and was violent toward her.30the main purpose of the text is to inform readers that_.ait makes no sense to punish the children when they make mistakesbit is dangerous to let children drive at an early ageclove is more important than possessionsdwe should always forgive others mistakesbthe time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark_on in later life，a new study has suggested.being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with，the study by the office for national statistics found.researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.a child born in december is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in january will tend to a debt collector，they found.a february birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while march babies appear to go on to become pilots.meanwhile，april and may are said to have a fairly even spread of professions，births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a highearning football player，doctor or dentist.the study was derived by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census，the daily mail reported.although these trends may be difficult to explain，correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia，alzheimers disease，asthma and autism.they may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.31what does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?aland on bkeep in touch withcbe occupied in dresign from32according to the researchers，a child born in march is likely to become _.aa debt collector ba pilotca dentist dan artist33we can learn from the text that _.athe month babies are born could only affect his intelligence and length of lifebpeople born in the summer months are more likely to get highly paidcspring babies may have the bigger chance to get illdthe choice of profession for april and may is very narrow34what can be inferred from the passage?athere exist connections between birth date and occupations.bthe fate has been already decided when people are born.cpeople born in autumn would be more successful than those born in spring.dthe time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one has.35according to the passage，the following statements are true except _.amarch babies are more likely to be pilots when grown up.bif born in december，a person is more likely to become a dentist.cas in the research，health problems have something to do with birth months.dsummer babies may be less clever than those born in other seasons.ceven as toyota ceo akio toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before congress，the head of the worlds largest automaker wasnt leaving his problems behind.toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in new york.the company is now being investigated.its us dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled.the company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits.a new hearing will be conducted.and the cost to toyotas reputation is only now starting.despite backtoback hearings this week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults，believable promises were made that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed.toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicles electronic systems.many drivers making complaints against toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference or sticky gas pedals (油门踏板)outside experts have suggested electronic problems.house lawmakers expressed serious criticism on toyoda，the grandson of the companys founder.the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) is seeking records on toyotas recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults.nhtsa also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular corolla model.toyota has recalled 8.5 million cars，more than 6 million of them in the united states.it may be a while before car buyers believe that toyota really makes safe cars.toyotas january sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last years bad results.analyst koji endo of advanced research japan in tokyo said he expects february sales，due out next week，to be down 30 percent to 40.toyotas sales problem could continue beyond that.it will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said.36the best title for this passage is “_”atoyota is in troublebtoyota is under hearingctoyota is finisheddtoyota is still running37what is the purpose of the hearing?aamerica hopes that toyota apologizes to the us customers.bamerica wants to get toyota out of the us market.camerica wants to help toyota out of difficulty.damerica hopes that toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem.38what can we infer from the passage?atoyota provides very good post sale service.btoyotas biggest market is in the united states.ctoyota will be closed soon.dtoyotas dealership in the us will all be closed.39why does toyota recall cars and offer customers money back for rental cars and other expenses?ait tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company.bit is a big company and has means to fix every problem.cits part of post service.dits a way to compete in auto market.40the last sentence of this passage indicates_.aanalyst koji endo is fully confident about toyotabtoyota could meet a worse situationctoyota would get out of trouble sooner or laterdtoyota would build up a better reputation among its customersdaccording to a recent survey on money and relationships,36% of people are keeping a bank account from their partners.while this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship，in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.with almost half of all marriages ending in divorce，men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy，regardless of whether they are in a relationship.the financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult，even more so when children are involved.the lack of permanency in relationships，job and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner，in other words，an “escape fund”margarets story is far from unique.she is a representative of a growing number of women in longterm relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.every month on pay day，she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband.she has been doing this throughout their sixyear marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000.margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings hed be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasnt sure of the marriage.“hed think it was my escape fund so that financially i could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong.i know you should approach marriage as being forever and i hope ours is，but you can never be sure.”like many of her fellow secret savers，margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.take colleen for example，who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner.“i decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.i wanted to prove to myself that i could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.”41the trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because_.aan “escape fund” helps one through rainy daysbdays are getting harder and hardercwomen are money sensitivedfinancial conflicts often occur42the underlined word “savvy” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”asuspicious bsecurecwise dsimple43which inference can we make about margaret?ashe is a unique woman.bshe was once divorced.cshe is going to retire.dshe has many children.44the author mentions colleens example to show_.aany couple can avoid marriage conflictsbprivacy within marriage should be respectedceveryone can save a fortune with a happy marriagedfinancial disclosure is not necessarily bad45which of the following is the best title of this passage?asecret saversblove is what its worthcbanking honestydonce bitten，twice shy
