My dads voice was low and troubled as he tried to comfort Mother. And in their anguish, they both forgot the nearness of my bedroom. And so, I overheard them. While their problem of that time has long since been solved and forgotten, the big discovery I made that night is still right with me life is not all hearts and flowers indeed its hard and cruel for most of us much of the time. We all have troubles. They just differ in nature. Thats all. And that leads me to my first belief. I believe the human race is very, very tough-almost impossible to discourage. If it wasnt, then why do we have such words as laugh and sing and music and dance in the language of all mankind since the beginning of recorded time? This belief makes me proud to be a human being.Next, I believe in trying to be charitable, in trying to understand and forgive people, especially in trying to forgive very keen or brilliant people. A man may be a genius, you know, but he can still do things that practically break your heart. I believe most of our very finest thoughts and many of our finest deeds must be kept to ourselves alone-at least until after we die. This used to confuse me. But now I realize that by their very nature, these finest things we do and then cannot talk about are a sort of a better life to come. I believe there is no escape from the rule of life that we must do many, many little things to accomplish even just one big thing. This gives me patience when I need it most. Finally, and most important to me, I do believe in having the courage to BE YOURSELF. Or perhaps I should say. to be honest with myself. Sometimes this is practically impossible. Im sure I should always try. （1）Why does the writer mention his parents quarrel at the beginning of the passage? A . To explain his belief.B . To introduce the topic.C . To show his big discovery.D . To show the relationship between his parents.（2）What does the underlined phrase hearts and flowers refer to according to the context? A . life going without difficultiesB . difficulties and troubles in lifeC . life with hard and cruel thingsD . ups and downs in life（3）According to Paragraph 2, why does the writer say that This belief makes me proud to be. a human being? A . Because human race creates such words as laugh , sing , music and dance .B . Because human race is so tough that it is difficult to discourage.C . Because human race creates the language since the beginning of the recorded time.D . Because human race creates the language of all mankind.（4）What can you learn from Paragraph 3? A . Every man has his faults.B . God helps those who help themselves.C . Manners make the manD . You cannot judge a book by its cover（5）Which one of the following beliefs is NOT mentioned by the writer?- A . Being patient is necessary to accomplish tasks sometimesB . For some thoughts and deeds good in nature, we must keep as secrets.C . Try to forgive people unless he breaks your heart.D . Never give up the idea of being yourself.24. （8分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. Its an interesting and exciting new improvement in todays world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a cars engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But thats not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the cars brakes are used. This is referred to as regenerative braking, because it produces electricity.Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldnt happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, I am low on gas. When it completely runs out, the warning reads, YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS! Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage? A . The hybrid car will be put on the market.B . Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars.C . When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning.D . The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.（2）According to the passage, the word hybrid refers to _. A . a high-tech discoveryB . energy savingC . a new inventionD . a combination of two things（3）Regenerative breaking is an important process of the hybrid car because _. A . it allows the car to come to a quick stopB . it gives the driver a smoother rideC . it produces energy to charge the batteryD . it can control the speed of the car（4）Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A . They use less gas than regular cars.B . Theyre safer to drive than most cars.C . Theyre more modern than other cars.D . They cost less than regular cars.25. （8分） When I was a foreign teacher in China，every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about ChinaOne day the topic mined to saying “I love you”I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers，nor had their mothers said it to them“Does your mom love you?” “Of course，”they answered“How do you know?” was my logical questionThey responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earningI was strummed. So moms cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you”Then how do you say I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough，so I repeated these queries in clauses over timeGradually，I began to get different responsesSome of them had exchanged those sentiments with their momsOne of my favorite stories of change came from a girlWhen she came home from university，her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）herThis had never happened before，but her mom said，“Now that you have gone I have more time to myselfI noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you”In my family we all say “I love you” a lotWhile it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment，it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning，even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love（1）The foreign teacher _A . comes from AmericaB . is a young womanC . is expressive enoughD . knows much about China（2）Chinese people prefer to show love by _A . saying “I love you”B . cookingC . getting good gradesD . doing something helpful（3）In paragraph 4, whats the real meaning of the moms hugging?A .
