When? Did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?Dont you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!The entire crowd stopped dead silentI dare say you couldnt hear anything but the rainWe all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutesMom paused and thought for a moment about what she would sayNow some would laugh it off and scold her for being sillySome might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young childs lifetime when innocent trust can be developed so that it will bloom into faithHoney, you are absolutely rightLets run through the rainIf get wet, well maybe we just need washing, Mom saidThen off they ran.We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their shopping bags over their heads just in caseThey got soakedBut they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their carsAnd yes, I didI ranI got wetI needed washingYou may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one can ever take away your precious memoriesSo dont forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories51. The best title for the passage might be _AHave a wonderful experience BBe a Determined MotherCWait in the Rain DRun Through the Rain52. What do we know about the mother in the story?AHer husband was cured of his cancerBShe was in despair and pretended to forget what she saidCShe was strong-willed and considerateDHer daughter completely understood the situation her family was in53. Which of the following may the author agree with?AThe mother should not tell her child about the family misfortuneBParents should act more bravely than their childrenCChildren should learn to show gratitude and understanding to their parentsDParents should grasp every opportunity to influence their children to grow well54. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word affirmation?Aagreement Bhappiness Cdisapproval DloveBIt was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect - holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate (颗粒) matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.55. As is pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.A. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesB. existed merely in urban and industrial areasC. had damaging effects on healthD. caused widespread damage in the countryside56. As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author _.A. is uncertain of its occurrenceB. thinks that it will destroy the world soonC. rejects it as being ungroundedD. shares the same view with the scientists57. The underlined word “offset in Para. 2 could best be replaced by_.A. catch up with B. slip into C. set up D. make up for58. This passage is mainly concerned with _.A. the greenhouse effect B. the potential effect of air pollutionC. the burning of fossil fuels D. the possibility of a new ice ageCOne night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other drivers eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2020, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.In my own life, Ive put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, Ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.59. The author considers it very important _.A. to share trust and cooperation B. to drive with a companyC. to gain certain responsibility D. to have personal independence60. The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because _.A. he might be killed out of the others careless drivingB. they both drove their car at a terrific speedC. the approaching car was very dangerousD. it was dark and the road was not wide enough61. The need for cooperation increases because _.A. certain viruses can spread in a quick wayB. the world has become much more dangerousC. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayD. peoples fates cant be controlled by themselves62. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has _.A. believed in ones own personal responsibilityB. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of lifeC. counted upon himself alone in everythingD. had no trust in others good faith and judgmentDThere is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHe was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the doorThis was an age before telephonesSomeone was delivering a message. When Colcridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspirationHis poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his doorHis unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment(片段)This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phoneThe most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around themBut more damaging may be the cell phones disruption of our thoughtsWe have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large a healthy, productive development I didnt hear it ring or I didnt realize my cell phone had shut off are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where were beyond reachThe notion or idea of being unreachable is not a new concept-we have Do Not Disturb signs on the doors of hotel roomsSo why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of dif
