Theres one more thing, she said 40 . What that? This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.“That surprises you, doesnt it?” the young woman asked. Well, to be honest, Im 41 by the request, said the Rabbi.The young woman 42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of 43 .In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main 44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, Keep your fork. It was my favorite part 45 I knew that something better was coming.like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie”So, I just want people to see me there in that casket（棺材）with a fork in my hand and I want them to 46 Whats with the fork? 47 I want you to tell them: Keep your forkthe best is yet to come.The Rabbis eyes were 48 up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of 49 than he did. She had a better grasp of 50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young womans casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork 51 in her right hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question Whats with the fork? And over and over he 52 .During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the 53 he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to 54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the 55 and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.He was right.

One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact that most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises. There are one or two exceptions. There is, for instance, a kind of steel called invar (from “invariable”) which does not change its dimensions as temperature changes; it is valuable for making pendulums (钟摆), since, if the length of a pendulum changes, its time of vibration changes. It is also used for making very accurate measuring scales. In both cases, then, changes of atmospheric temperature have no effect if invar is used. Another exception is that very odd liquid, water, which has many strange properties (特性). As water gets colder it contracts (收缩), which is ordinary behavior, until it reaches the temperature of 30. above freezing point. After that, as it gets colder, it expands. This is fortunate-for considering the freezing of a pond. As the water on top gets colder, it shrinks; and so, volume for volume, it becomes heavier and sinks. This goes on until all the pond is at 30, but after that, as the water becomes colder it expands. Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes, covering the pond with ice. If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point, the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end. This would not worry people who live in hot climates, but it would be very serious for those who live in cold climates, especially for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which live in the cold water beneath.56. Invar is valuable for making pendulums because _.A. it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature changes. B. it will change its dimensions without the change of temperature.C. its time of vibration doesnt change if its length changes. D. its time of vibration does not change if its length changes.57. As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30. it will _.A. contract B. shrink C. expand D. freeze58. Which of the following statements is true, according to this passage?A. Only invar can be used to make a thermometer. B. Only water can be used to make a thermometer.C. Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer. D. Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermometer. 59. The best title of this passage is most likely to be _.A. Temperature Measurement B. Two ExceptionsC. Uses of Invar D. Properties of WaterBThese days no car show is complete without an electric car, and the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, US, which ran from January 10 to 23, was no exception. Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV. BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show, proving that they can produce practical, yet spacious family-oriented electric cars. Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries, improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011 the “year of electric car”.Its long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience. They are, for instance, much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it or recharge it, just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop. This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline. Better yet, electric cars dont emit exhaust fumes. As a result, they dont produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases. It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly. So, what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable? Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users. However, it is also a potential obstacle. For a start, installing charging stations in owners homes will be a challenge, particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes. Also, charging the cars battery still takes quite a long time. It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank. Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50 miles (80 km) or less between charges. In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight), this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular. A hybrid car has more than one energy source, usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery. Its like a more practical version of an electric car: Its greener than a conventional vehicle, with fewer CO2 emissions, yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.“I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic,” Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show. “The trend is for lighter, smarter, more economical cars. Of course, electronic vehicles are meant to be that way.”This sounds promising, particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before. However, it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet peoples expectations. Dont expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet. 60. What made electric cars more convenient? A. Easier maintenance. B. High scores on the show.C. Practicality and large space. D. Much lower prices.61. Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars? A. It is rough work to install charging stations at home.B. It is time-consuming to charge the batteries.C. The ranges between charges are limited.D. Theres no need to fill the tank with petrol.62. In Paragraph 10, the underlined word “hybrid” is probably closest in meaning to _.A. gasoline B. electricC. combined D. separated63. The writers purpose in writing this passage is to_.A. introduce the 2011 Auto Show in US B. get readers informed of electric carsC. comment on different types of cars D. advertise for electric carsCOne Day Tour: Great Wall & Summer PalaceOverview: You will visit the famous Badaling Great Wall and Summer Palace in one day.Tour Description and Itinerary (行程)One day Private Tour or Coach Tour: Depart everydayStart from 8:30 am to around 6:00 pm, flexible schedule for private tour.Itinerary:Pick you up from hotel on departure time, then drive to the famous Badaling Great Wall, which is 60 miles away from downtown about one and a half hour driving.
