When I heard of Als death, I reacted with the same disdain(轻视) the world shows for one who ends his life with 47 material to show for it. What a complete 48 ! I thought. What a totally wasted life!

I 50 Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere. I hadnt heard Ernie talk much about his father.

What on earth did he do that you became such a(n) 53 person? Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, I love you, son.

One would certainly think otherwise; nevertheless, selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with peril. For instance, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she found to be a bargain: a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it. Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier that we ever had before. We were pleased with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decorated it from top to bottom, and then sat back to bask(享受) in its soft light. Two or three days passed, and the truth couldnt be hidden: we had bought a tree cut so long ago that it was now shedding its needles. There was nothing to do but undecorated it, take it down, and begin tree shopping again.Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another challenge. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it had in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, whose nuts and bolts worked more difficultly than those of our old stand. Our only resource was to persuade two young neighbors to stop playing the basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it securely in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers sneakers; so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments(装饰物) were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales to tell more harrowing than these. I dont care to hear them, for my familys experiences, of which these are but three, are enough to tempt me to make the following suggestion: “Lets forget the tree next Christmas. Lets simply decorate a garland over the mirror in the hall and hang a wreath on the front door.”56. The darkest moments in the writers family concerned the fact .A. that the family bought big Christmas trees.B. that they had problems putting up their Christmas trees.C. that they had problems picking suitable Christmas trees and decorating them.D. that they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees.57. From the passage, we can learn that the writer would like to .A. forget about Christmas.B. get the neighbors to put up their tree.C. buy a better tree.D. make some other decorations to celebrate Christmas.58. The new stand was bought .A. for the neighbors.B. for the most recent Christmas tree.C. with lights and ornamentsD. so father wouldnt hire a carpenter.59. The underlined word “harrowing” in Paragraph 2 means . A. dull B. painful C. disappointing D. interestingBA rock group called the Rocket Crew is on tour. Their agent has asked the town officials about Wilbour City on the tour. The stadium in the town is large enough to hold the expected crowd. Ticket sales in the area would be good because several towns are around Wilbur City. However, many people in the town dont want a rock concert because they fear the damage the crowd might cause. To settle the problem about whether or not to invite the group to appear, the mayor(市长) took a poll(民意测验). The results are:Would buy ticketsWould not buy ticketsUndecided6180(41.2%)5914(39.4%)2920(19.4%)Fear the damageNot fear the damageUndecided3043(20.3%)8746(58.3%)3225(21.4%)Thought it would help the cityDidnt think it would help the cityUndecided9412(62.7%)2085(13.9%)3517(23.4%)60. If about.20% of the total surveyed people were expecting the band to come, how many people would it be? A. 3002 B. 2000 C. 1550 D. 460061. From the results of the poll, we know that half of the people or more .A. would buy the tickets for the concertB. havent yet given their own opinionsC. are against the invitation to the groupD. are for the invitation to the group62. The concert is probably to be held in . A. a cinema B. a stadium C. a theatre D. a concert hall63. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Poll B. The City of Wilbour C. The Rocket Crew D. A Rock ConcertCWhat is the most pressing environmental issue we face today? “Global warming”? The “greenhouse effect”? At the Oscar ceremonies, Al Gore referred to a “ Climate crisis”, but in his State of the Union address President Bush chose the comparatively comforting phrase “climate change”. They all refer to the same thing, but the first rule of modern political speech is that before addressing any problem each side must “frame the debate” in the most favorable way.In recent years there has been a contest between “global warming” and “climate change.” Bushs use of the latter was consistent with Republican practice, which calls for de-emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Unlike the “catastrophic”(灾难性的) meaning of global warming, strategist Frank Luntz wrote, “climate change sounds a more controllable and less emotional challenge.” So should activists favor “global warming”? Well, not necessarily. Richard C.J. Somerville, a leading researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, thinks “global warming” is problematic because it puts the focus on worldwide average temperature, rather than the more serious regional dangers of storms, floods and drought.In any case, “global warming” seems to have won out over its rivals(竞争对手), if one can judge by The New York Times, where for each of the last three years “global warming” is more often used than “climate change” by almost exactly two to one. Both of these phrases have triumphed(胜过) over “greenhouse effect,” which was the most common term in the early 1980s. George Lakoff, the Berkeley professor of linguistics(语言学), is a strong backer of the dark house “climate crisis,” which is also favored by Gore. “ Climate change doesnt suggest immediate action,” says Lakoff. “Climate crisis says immediate action needed. The framing is not just a matter of labels, its modes of thought.”“I dont like words that leave me anxious,” says Somerville. “Using crisis conveys the thought that this is hopeless. But theres a lot that can be done about this. Im still looking for the right words to describe whats happening, but its not keeping me from trying to stop it.”64. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. The War of the WordsB. The most pressing environmental issue.C. Climate Crisis or Climate ChangeD. Language and Politics65. A republican would probably prefer to use the term . A. climate change B. climate crisis C. global warming D. greenhouse effect66. Which of the followings is NOT true?A. Politics has something to do with language.B. Activists would certainly like the phrase “global warming”.C. “Greenhouse effect” is not often used today than it was 20 years ago.D. “Climate change” sounds more comforting than “climate crisis”.67. From the last paragraph we can infer that A. Somerville is against using the term “climate crisis”.B. Somerville is in favor of the term “climate crisis”.C. Somerville thinks the term “climate crisis” makes people worried.D. Somerville thinks nothing can be done to stop using the term “climate crisis”.DOne of the most expected revolution in aviation is to take off pretty soon, as new super-fast, relatively cheap airplanes called “very light jets” (VLJs) finally go into service.Thanks to breakthroughs in the performance of engines for small jets, along with better airplane manufacturing techniques, companies such as Eclipse Aviation, the Albuquerque, and Adam Aircraft of Denver are promising a new kind of airplanes for a new travel: jet-speed transportation between as many as 5,500.US. airports and in planes that cost less than before.Waiting for final certification by the Federal Aviation Administration, Eclipses six-seat E500 could be in the hands of pilots this July.Linear Air has already ordered 30 of the Eclipse very light jets and plans to put them in service between August and late 2007. The planes can fly at more than 400 mph, twice the typical speed of private propeller-driven planes.“This is the absolute future, and everybody in the aviation business knows it,” said Arthur Allen, chairman of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission, which oversees 38 smaller airports around the States.Because VLJs weight as little as a minivan, they can land on runways as short as 3,000feet-compared with 4,000 or 5,000 feet required by the smaller jets today. Allen forecasts that the new jets will open up new markets for air taxi and charter services.“Its like an executive car service with wings,” said Bill Herp, Linear Airs chief executive. “VLJs are going to revolutionize the way a large percentage of the traveling public gets around.” Parts of Linears plan with scheduled charter service is to introduce passengers who have a licence to operate a jet by themselves to the private plane experience and turn them to future consumers for $ 1,500 or $3,000 charter flights, either for business or vacation travels.For Herp, the huge advantage of VLJs i
