Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfil their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. _25_ (earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have _26_ they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. _27_ much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that _28_ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, _29_ cost the family much. One thing led to _30_, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years _31_ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what _32_ (remain) a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends do they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.（B）We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden expresses the speakers regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, _33_ (treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up _34_ he begins to understand his fathers unselfish love.In remembering the small things his father did _35_ him and his family, such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped _36_ notice in the past.As he recalls how his father warmed the house, the speakers coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude. It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but _37_ well be cold and stern in appearance. In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, have difficulty_38_ (show) their love for us verbally sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember _39_ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only _40_ (express) in ways different from what we may have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. efficientlyB. stillC. equallyD. balanceE. dragF. angle G. makeH. physicallyI. approach J. position K. allowWe need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men _41_ excellent carers and are _42_ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews.Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are _43_ stronger than women. Male nurses can help _44_ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable _45_. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients _46_ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different _47_ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only _48_ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive _49_ between male and female staff, and it will _50_ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!III.

While youre stretching on the deck, others on the ship are at work studying the data you have collected.The rock samples you collected are taken to a laboratory on board the ship. Tests performed on ocean rocks can show the age of the seafloor. Many people will study the videotapes of the swordfish. There is nothing like a video to show others exactly what you saw and experienced in the deep. Videos capture details of how animals move and behave details that a person sitting inside Deep Worker could easily miss. Those details can help scientists better understand the role each kind of animal plays in its deep-sea community.While you were below, Deep Workers exact location was being tracked. Thus, detailed maps of the seafloor, showing underwater canyons and mountains far beneath the surface can be made with the help of this information. Dive by dive, Sylvia Earle and her fellow scientists are piecing together remarkable pictures of the deep sea a world that until recently was as unknown as a distant planet.Since Sylvia first began exploring the waters around Florida, shes seen changes trash on the seafloor, fewer fish, polluted water. These ocean problems in Florida and in many other parts of the world make people like Sylvia anxious. They want to know how to protect the ocean, and how to restore it to good health where damage has been done.Sylvia and other scientists are learning more about the ocean, especially the deep sea, than ever before. The more we know about a place, the better we understand it. As Sylvia says, “With knowing comes caring. If people care about something, they will work to protect it.”66. What does the bold-typed phrase “this information” in Paragraph 3 refer to?The location of underwater canyons and mountains.Remarkable pictures of the deep sea.These ocean problems.The track of Deep Worker.67.

Yet cars remain an important option for many families because of its convenience. For people in rural areas, or with mobility problems, a car can be an essential lifeline.Drive with styleNo matter what kind of car you run, the least reliable part will be you: your driving style has a massive impact on the fuel needed, with acceleration, gear-changing and braking all playing a significant role.Inching along at the pace of a childs tricycle might feel frugal but wont magically yield peak economy. In most modern cars, accelerate normally, changing up at 2,000rpm in a diesel, or 2,500rpm in a petrol-powered car. Once at a sensible steady speed, choose the highest gear that will let the engine run without labouring.A number of eco-driving apps are available for smartphones, to help you improve your smoothness. The A Glass of Water iPhone app offers tips to help you avoid spilling a drop. The free RAC Traffic app is also a great way to avoid wasting fuel in traffic jams.Its also important to: Check tyre pressures once a month. Leave junk at home. Carrying extra weight in the boot wastes excess fuel. Leave in good time and dont speed. An extra 10mph on the motorway will add 10% to your fuel bill.Power playsIt
