I just remember that it was a good one.I really loved my parents. I gave them no trouble and in return they helped me a lot. Best of all, I mostly had free use of our second car that I called The Dragon. But sometimes she needed it. And thats what Mom and I were arguing about as we stood there at the front door, of the condo（公寓租房）. It was really the only thing she and I ever argued about.Whatever we were arguing about, the words got heated enough to attract Dads attention, and he wandered over to the front door and stood behind Mom. That was sort of how it worked in our family. Morn was the one who would discipline（惩戒）the children and I dont remember him ever refusing anything Mom had decided or done in his absence.So Mom and I were arguing, and during argument I called my Mom a.No sooner had that word escaped my lips than I felt the strong hand of my father against my cheek. It was the only time I can remember my father striking me. We all stood there, staring at each other. Finally I looked my Dad directly in the eye. “I deserved that,” I said.I really believed that. Mom had kept telling me before: “You can choose your actions, but you cant choose the results of your actions.” We make choices, which affect others, and they react.

Businessman Loy Sneary says he is using that waste to create a company called Gulf Coast Green Energy. Mr. Sneary says sixty percent of all energy produced in the world today is being lost as wasted heat. He wants to collect some of that heat from-among other places-the thousands of oil and gas wells in Texas, and turn it into electricity. Mr. Sneary says, “Weve got more electricity that could be produced than all of the coal-fired power plants, natural gas fired power plants and nuclear power plants in the world.” Deep underground, the earth is hot. If you drive a drill（钻孔）down into hard rock, the drill gets hot. Mr. Sneary uses his “Green Machine” technology to help collect the energy that is produced when heat meets cold. The machine moves the hot well-water through one pipe next to another filled with refrigerant. This refrigerant boils, and steam is produced. This steam is used to make electricity.Last year, Mr. Sneary connected his “Green Machine” to the boilers at Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He used that systems wasted heat to create electricity, helping to reduce the universitys bills.Maria Richards is SMUs Geothermal Laboratory Coordinator. She says the labs temperature maps help Mr. Sneary find hot areas near oil drilling operations. Those areas are where Mr. Sneary can use his machines. The school and Gulf Coast Green Energy have worked together for several years.60. According to the text, Gulf Coast Green Energy is mainly to _.

Most red-eye flights leave around midnight, leaving you with an extra night of gaming, and fun without added expense of a higher hotel charge. You can sleep the whole way home. Romantic getaway: Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming. The artwork at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is certainly comparable to that at the Louvre.

It brings together virtual campus tours and interactive maps of more than 1,200 colleges and universities. The site plans to add an international database for schools in other countries.CampusTours recently celebrated its fifteenth anniversary. The president of the company, Chris Carson, was one of the people who started the site. He says more than 120,000 foreign students use the site each year. They make up more than 15 percent of the traffic on the site. The virtual tours allow students to get a sense of how a college looks. There are also links to official websites and online applications. And there are details like price, number of students, admission requirements and sports programs. But Chris Carson says students should never depend on a third-party website like CampusTours to choose a college. He advises parents and students to contact a school directly. If they plan to visit ,they should call the school and talk about the visit and where to stay locally. In fact, he says contacting a school might even lead to a free visit.He says showing real interest in a school can increase the chances of being admitted. CHRIS CARSON: “One thing in the United States is that they often use something called demonstrated interest as a factor in your admission. Demonstrated interest involves the number of time you actually contact the institution, and they write all this down in your file, believe it or not.”Chris Carson and several of his friends started CampusTours in 1997. They noticed that many websites with campus tours were heavy with text and lacked much visual material. At first, colleges worried that online tours would compete with the tradition of a personal visit to the campus. But today schools work with sites like CampusTours or its competitors, or build their own virtual tours and maps.68. What would be the best title for the passage? A. CampusToursCelebrating the Fifteenth Anniversary B. Touring Colleges, Without Ever Leaving Home C. An Easy Way to Get Information About Colleges D. Chris Carsonthe Founder of CampusTours69. By visiting the websiteCampusTours. com, students can get the following EXCEPT _. A. information about colleges in other countries B. information about the tuition fees of the American colleges C. interactive maps of many colleges D. the number of students in the American colleges70.

B. Contacting a college directly can increase the chances of being admitted. C. Websites cant provide real information about the colleges. D. Websites are not safe for frequent attacks from hackers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Study for a Test or FinalThe end of the term is drawing near, and that means final exams are on the way. 71 The most important thing you can do is give yourself plenty of time to prepare.
