They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didnt have the money for the doctors bills and their house .Only a(n) _38_could save him now. Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the 39 out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. No 40 here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and 41 her way six blocks to a chemists. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some 42 ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her 43 with the most awful sound she could muster. No good. Finally the pharmacist asked in an 44 tone of voice, “What do you want? Im talking to my brother from Chicago 45 I havent seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question. “Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad 46 inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We dont sell miracles here, little girl. Im sorry, 47 I cant help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice 48 a little. There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I dont know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know hes 49 sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy cant pay 50 it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.“A dollar and eleven cents the 51 price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to 52 you live. Lets see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completely 53 charge and it wasnt long before Andrew was home again and did well.Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have 54. Tess smiled.

After an hours flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look here for probable metal.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, “This ground should be searched for metals.” From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word “Uranium.”None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earths surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground-using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging into the ground. They did dig and found more gold below. They dug deeper. They found large quantities of gold.56. Scientists went to different regions in order to search for_.A. gold B. silver C. metals D. minerals57. According to the passage, the following parts of a tree can help find minerals EXCEPT_. A. leavesB. roots C. branches D. seeds58. The scientists were searching for minerals by using _. A. X-rays B. trained eyes C. a special instrument D. magic power59. Which might be the best title of the passage? A. Searching for Metals with Special Power B. New Methods of Doing Geological Study C. A New Method of Searching for Minerals D. Gold Could Be Found by Trees and PlantsB“If there is one thing Im sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic（基因的）engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sport and international news. etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media（媒体）. They actually “feed off ” each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.60. In the writers opinion, in the future, . A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer C. newspapers will cover more scientific research D. more and more people will watch TV61. From the passage, we can infer that . A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media C. television will take the place of the newspaper D. the writer believes some media will die out62. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “ ”. A. depend onB. compete withC. fight withD. kill off63. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Best Way to Get News.B. The Changes of Media. C. Make Your Own newspaper.D. The Future of Newspaper.CThe extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The buildingthe countrys largest commercial and shopping complexuses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). Asitrises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swingsdays as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.64. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent.65. Why would a building like EastgateNotwork efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.66. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system_.A. allows a wide range of temperaturesB. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the airD. works better in hot seasonsDIs the Go to College Message Overdone?Even in a weak job market, the old college try isnt the answer for everyone.A briefing paperfrom theBrookings Institutionwarns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellowIsabel Sawhillsaid.“Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to theLabor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time,recent research by Canadian economistscautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that amon
