then he added, “moving in with you.” i nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “what?” i asked. “i think we should get married,” he said. he told me hed planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “yes,” i whispered. we both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. id never known such a tender moment. if only dad were here to give his final approval.“oh, lets just go inside.” jack laughed. my mother opened the door. “happy birthday!” we shouted. jack handed the box to her. she opened it up. suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “mom, whats wrong?” i asked. “im sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “this is only the second gardenia corsage ive ever received. i was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “from who?” i asked. “your father,” mom said. “he gave me one right before we were engaged.” my eyes locked on jacks as i blinked away(眨掉) tears. dads test?

a. one cant acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours. b. spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand c. researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned during sleep. d. complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep45. how do arzi and her team do their research? by a. giving instructions b. analyzing human brains c. following the guides of others d. doing experiments46. in which part of a website may this passage most likely appear? a. culture. b. science. c. history. d. economy. 【参考答案】4345、bad 46、b 【四川省凉山州2014第二次诊断性测试】e阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. the increasinglypopular design museums that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. unlikemost art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general publicthese museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center ofthe hall pe叩le have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for newindustrial technology. but their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring ofexcellently invented products. the difference between the window of a department store and theshowcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tellsyou the success of a sale. one advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with theexhihits. unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened orpuzzled. this is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced productswork and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. art museumexhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is somethingbetween their understanding. in recent years, several new design museums have opened their door. each of these museumshas tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. londons designmuseum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from zippo lighters to electrictypewriters to a group of italian fish-tins. the choices open to design museums seem far less strictthan those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society whilewalking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everydaylife.47. showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they a. show more technologically advanced products b. help increase the sales of productsc. show why the products have sold well d. attract more people than store windows do48. the author believes that most design museum visitors a. do not admire mass-produced products b. are puzzled with technological exhibits c. dislike exhibits in art museums d. know the exhibits very well49. the choices open to design museums a. are not as strict as those to art museums b, are not aimed to interest the public c. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors d. often contain precious exhibits50. the best title for this passage is“” a. the forms of design museums b. the exhibits of design museums c. the nature of design museums d. the choices open to design museums【参考答案】4750、cdac 【四川省资阳市2014模拟】a阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “another bad day at school?” my father asked as i came into the room.“how could you tell?
