The only officer on 37 was a fortyish black man, standing 38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially 39 of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a 40 in a West Side bank. The boy continued to 41 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 42 an expression of disappointment. “But I dont understand. I opened the account myself, so why cant I 43 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking. “I know it is, but those are the rules. Ive already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not 44 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently. Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you 45 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked 46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. Its really very 47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “Youre really getting 48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and 49 .” The boy looked destroyed. 50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank. The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldnt have got 51 .” I couldnt believe what this idiot was saying. “We were 52 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was 53 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was 54 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and theyll probably make a(n) 55 today. “You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”36. A. make B. open C. buy D. choose37. A. duty B. board C. display D. show 38. A. on B. after C. over D. across 39. A. sure B. proud C. aware D. afraid40.

That was my elder brother, Bob, who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade; he had to get up every now and then and run around the room. And sure enough, he grew up to be a starting player for an N.C.A.A. championship lacrosse（长曲棍球）team. He was a Nike-endorsed marathoner, too, and reached the top of Mt. Everest, unguided, in his 50s.And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games. We did watch some of his marathons, but that wasnt until he was in his 20s. When Bob was in his glory days, our Shanghainese-born parents were bent on getting him into medical school. There was a loving aspect to it: I can remember my father working through math books with him, lesson by lesson, at the big blackboard in the attic. Bob never did become a doctor, though; and neither did I. It wasnt until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.Bob today could be the fittest 58-year-old on the planet. His doctor estimates his biological age at 35; hes still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas. And, like Jeremy Lin, hes charming. No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh. He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building, and its true. To know him is to cheer for him.And yet my parents did not cheer for him. What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics, like Jeremy Lins mother? What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate? Its hard not to wonder.And how did Jeremy Lins parents manage to do these remarkable things? Amy Chua, the tiger mother, recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word. How is it that Jeremy Lins immigrant father in particular, Gie-Ming Lin, encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path? 56. Bobs glory days were those _.A. when he was doing well in mathB. when he was in second gradeC. when he was made mayor of his buildingD. when he showed his talents in sports57. From the passage we can tell that Bob is _. A. active and optimisticB. clever and determined C. brave and helpfulD. considerate and independent58. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?A. Bob was always ignored by his parents.B. Bob could also have been a sport star.C. Bobs parents often watched his games.D. Nobody in the authors family was a doctor.59. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _. A. parents should always study together with their children B. parents should know how to educate their children properly C. children should be punished when they do anything wrongD. children should try to live up to the hopes of their parentsBAccording to a new survey, more than half of the parents in the United States are helping, or have helped or supported their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and poor wages. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, so called boomerang kids, to return. Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected, said Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially. Half are providing housing and nearly half arehelping with living expenses. For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two-thirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressure than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly one-third of the parents agreed that it was easierfor them to find their financial feet than for their children. Parents are helping their children out of genuine（真诚的）concern because they dont wantto see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult childrenshould be careful about their own finances. If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult children, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger, Beck warned. Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they have given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and seven percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.60. According to the passage, boomerang kids here refer to A. married adult children B. grownups living with parents C. adult children independent and successful in life D. adult children depending on parents for financial support61. Which of the following matches the result of the survey? A. About 30% of parents offer their adult children housing. B. One-third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents. C. Two-thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school. D. About 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost.62. What is Ted Becks suggestion to the parents? A. Asking their children to help with the housework. B. Being cautious in helping their children. C. Leaving their children to struggle to live. D. Putting off their time of retirement.CAt 2 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five Navy aircraft took off in perfect flying weather from a naval air installation in southeastern Florida, on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. Less than two hours later, the flight commander radioed that he was “completely lost”. Then there was silence. A rescue plane was sent to search for the missing aircraft, and it, too, disappeared. Despite one of historys most extensive search efforts, involving more than 300 planes and dozens of ships, the Navy found nothing, not even an oil stain floating on the water.This is just one of the many frightening stories told of “the Bermuda Triangle”, a mysterious area of the Atlantic Ocean roughly stretching southwest from Bermuda to the Florida coast and down to Puerto Rico. During the past 30 years, the triangle has claimed the lives of some 1,000 sailors and pilots.Stranger yet are the numerous “ghost” ships that have been found floating crewless within the triangle. On one strange occasion in 1881, the cargo ship Ellen Austin discovered a small sailing ship, sails waving uselessly in the wind. The boat was full of wood with no one on deck. The captain of the Ellen Austin installed a new crew to sail it, but two days later, during a rough storm, the two ships temporarily lost sight of each other. When the captain again boarded the boat, he found his crew had disappeared. After a second crew was assigned, the ship was again lost in a fog bank. This time, no trace of the boat or the crew was ever found.Charles Berlitz, a man with an interest in Atlantis, the legendary lost island, puts forward his theory that a giant solar crystal, which once was the power generator for Atlantis, lies on the ocean floor. From time to time, according to his theory, passing ships and planes set off the crystal, which confuses their instruments and engulfs them into the ocean.Officially, the U.S. Navy does not recognize the triangle as a danger zone and is convinced that “the majority of disappearances in the triangle can be due to the unique features of the areas environment.” These include the swift Gulf Stream current and the unexplored valleys under water of the Atlantic. Also, the triangle is one of only two places on earth where a compass needle points to true north rather than magnetic north, causing problems in navigation.However, other scientists argue that beings from outer space have established a highly advanced civilization in the unexplored depths of the Atlantic inside the triangle. There, they believe, most of the missing vessels and their crews may still be on display for study by these higher intelligences.63. The author develops the first two paragraphs through _. A. a series of events described in order of time B. a general view supported by specific examples C. a specific incident followed by a general introduction D. a strange phenomenon followed by cause explanation64. What did the captain of Ellen Austin do when he discovered a small sailing ship floating crewless? A. He had all the wood transferred onto his own ship. B. He had new powerful sails fixed on the small boat. C. He sent a message that they were in danger and needed help. D. He asked some of his sailors to get onto the boat to sail it.65. The underlined word “engulfs” in Paragraph 4 probably means _. A. dropsB. sucksC. puts D. throws66. Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage? A. The Mysterious Bermuda TriangleB. The History of the Bermuda Triangle C. A New Research on the Bermuda TriangleD. A New Angle to Look at the Bermuda TriangleDFor the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, Im very happy because you love each other, and because one day youll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mothers death. The time came for me to go to university. I didnt want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligentto help other people.”After the professors talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things. I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one days holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How do
