Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would 36 and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I dont remember when it first started 37 meher hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Dont do that any moreyour hands are too rough!” she made no reply and left quietly.But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 38 .With the passing years, my 39 returned to that night time after time. By then I 40 my mothers hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 41 , sometimes far away, but always it was 42 in the back of my mind.The years have passed, and Im not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 43 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives alone. One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself drawn to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a 44 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.In my memory, thousands of times, I 45 the night my young voice complained. Catching Moms hand in hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember as I did.

Imagine 50 youd feel if you were in others shoes.If someone in the chat room is rude 51 you, your instinct (本能反应) is to fire back (反击) in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, 52 use your chat software to block his messages.Everyone was new to the network once. Offer your suggestions when asked by newcomers, as 53 may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its 54 stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status (婚姻状况), 55 you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information.Part Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“Its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students suggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.56. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.57. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means_.A. fault B. advantage C. pity D. fault perfection58. Since the new system has performed, _ of water can be saved.A. a quarter B. one third C. one half D. two thirds59. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. the new operation can solve the water crisisB. The new operation can raise students environmental awarenessC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system60. In which column can you find this passage? A. People B. Society C. Campus Life D. LifestyleBGrandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren, but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior. Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent, divorced/separated or stepfamily households, according to the report, published in the February Journal of Family Psychology. Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties, the studys lead author, Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz, of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said in an American Psychological Association news release. They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes. In interviewing 11- to 16-year olds from England and Wales, Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent, including asking for advice or even money, the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had, such as hyperactivity (活动过度的) and disruptive (破坏性的) behavior. This was found across all three family structures, she said. But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most. The effect of their grandparents involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families. The study did not look at children who lived alone with their grandparents, though. The findings have great implications for people in the United States, the authors said, because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren. A 2004 U.S. Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18, up 30 percent since 1990, according to background information in the news release.61. It is generally believed that a grandmother _.A. can help a child through hard timesB. can help kids develop social skillsC. can spoil a childD. is a positive force for all families62. According to the passage, grandparents will be of least benefit to a child _.A. from two biological parent familiesB. from a singleparent householdC. from a divorced householdD. from a stepfamily household63. A child who asks his grandmother for money will _.A. have difficulty in getting along with his peersB. still get along well with his peersC. be easier to be spoiled than his peersD. not be popular with peers64. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. there are more families in America undergoing difficultiesB. American parents are much busier than those from other countriesC. American grandparents are much better at bringing up their grandchildrenD. American kids like to share more living space with their grandparents65. The passage implies that _.A. children who live alone with their grandparents may benefit the mostB. all families should leave their children to be brought up by grandparentsC. grandparents play a more positive role than parents in childrens growthD. grandparents are a source of comfort to children from families undergoing difficultiesCDo you think getting cold can give you a cold? Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold? Can chicken soup cure a cold?Ranit Mishori is a family medicine doctor at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington. She says colds are more common in winter, but not because of low temperatures. The cold weather just means people stay inside more. Ranit Mishori: “People tend to be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from one person to another is through handshakes, through sneezing, or coughing on one another.”Adults generally get two to three colds a year. Children are likely to catch four or five. Dr. Mishori says some people mistakenly believe they can become resistant to colds. Ranit Mishori: “There are about two hundred different viruses that cause the common cold. People think that once you get infected one time you develop immunity (免疫) for the rest of your life. This is wrong.”There is still no cure for the common cold. But Dr. Mishori says there are ways to feel better sooner.Ranit Mishori: “So if you get a cold and you start taking about two grams of vitamin C a day, there is evidence that it might shorten the number of days that you will be suffering with these symptoms.”She says honey can also help. “There is increased evidence that it helps shorten the duration (持续时间) of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days.”Dr. Mishori says honey seems to be especially effective in children with colds. But the Agriculture Department says never to feed honey to babies less than one year old. It says even honey in prepared foods may contain substances that can make babies very sick.Some people believe in treating a cold with chicken soup. Does it work?Ranit Mishori: “Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties, so it helps reduce the duration of the cold but also it helps clear the mucus.” Mucus is the sticky substance that can make you cough
