Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no 36 about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 38 !” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was a little 39 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began 40 I thought was a factpacked lecture, sure to gain their respect - perhaps 41 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(喜形于色) which comes from a (n) 42 of achievements.My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 43 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. _44 her next lecture will be better.” 45 , I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 subject. “Didnt I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and 47 the historical background for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How 48 they say I didnt teach them anything?”It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were 50 those of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference! 54 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 55 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.36AwonderBideaCdoubtDexperience37AimpressBputCleaveDfix38AAttentionBLook outCAt easeDStand up39ApuzzledBsureCcuriousDpleased40AwhichBthatCwhatDwhether 41AmoreBevenCyetDstill42AthoughtBsenseCexpressionDidea43AreplacedBtakenCcaughtDmoved44ANaturallyBPerhapsCFortunatelyDReasonably45A.

This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but its always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also crash these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.56To celebrate Easter, people _.A. go shopping, hide colored eggs and children hunt for themB. give Easter baskets filled candy and goodies to one anotherC. buy new clothes, hide colored eggs and children look for them around the houseD. both B and C57For Christians the more important thing to do on Easter is_.A. going to church to celebrate Jesus resurrectionB. buying new clothesC. eating delicious food and paint color eggsD. exchange beautiful gifts each other58The underlined word “crash”(in Para4) could be replaced by _A. bring B. hit C. come D. go59People from different cultures have different ideas about Easter egg _.A. In both American and Belgium, children hunt for Easter eggs hidden in rooms and in bushesB. In Belgium, the hidden eggs are thought to have fallen from doorbellsC. In American, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunnyD. In America, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from doorbells BA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(忧郁症). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents. Dr. Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughter or son, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.60. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression. B .Parents should forbid their childrens love lives.C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults. D. Romance is good for young people.61. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A . Young people who have a strong sense of self. B . Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions. D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.62.What can be inferred from the passage?A .Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C .Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D .The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.63. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. Puzzled. B. Disagreeing. C. Disinterested. D. Terrified .

The package fee does NOT cover the cost of _.DWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). Thats a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”.Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,
