Money was tight and he became angry when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. In spite of this, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, This is for you, Daddy. The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but he got angry again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, Dont you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, Oh, Daddy, its not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. Theyre all for you, Daddy. The father was shocked. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

They are considering how they can make better use of the two other major fuels, coal and natural gas，but they have found that neither can take the place of oil in their economics. In recent years there has been a growing concern for the environment and coal is not a popular fuel with environmentalists. Natural gas, the purest of the three fuels, is also the most limited in supply. The answer would seem to lie in nuclear power stations. They need very little fuel to produce enormous amounts of power and they do not pollute the atmosphere Their dangers, however, are so great and the cost of building them are also high Not only could one accident in a nuclear power station spread as much radioactivity as a thousand Hiroshima atom bombs, but the radioactive waste from these stations is extremely dangerous. Scientists have recently turned their attention to natural sources of energy: the sun, the sea, the wind and hot springs Of these the sun seems the most promising source for the future Houses have already been built which are heated entirely by solar energy. However, solar energy can only be collected during daylight hours, and in countries where the weather is unreliable, an alter- native heating system has to be included. However, many scientists are optimistic that new ways of generating large amounts of energy will be successfully developed, but at the same time they fear the consequences. If the world population goes on increasing at its present rate, we may, in fifty years time, be burning up so much energy that we would damage the earths atmosphere. By raising the temperature of the atmosphere, we could melt the Arctic and Antarctic ice-caps and change the pattern of vegetable and animal life throughout the world-a frightening possibility.68The main reason why coal can not replace oil is that Ait is more expensive than oil Bit is a heavy pollutant Cit is unlimited in supply Dit is of no use69 According to the author，which of the following energy sources is most likely to take the place of oil? AThe sea and the wind BCoal and gas CAtomic energy DNone of the above70What worries scientists most is that we would Abum up、all energy supply Bfind no alternative source of energy Creduce the population at a high rate Ddamage the earths atmosphere71Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage? AScientists have succeeded in finding a suitable alternative BScientists have tried several sources of energy but none of them is a suitable alternative CScientists are confident that they will eventually solve the energy problem DScientists are trying their best to find a potential source of energy第二节（共5小题 ；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, 71 Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”In all cases，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly At the beginning, much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, 72 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is moredifficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background Then, 73 Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friendsSmiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have the same ide
