But Andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasnt expecting any trouble on the road last New Years Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia, fouryearold son Baylor, and nineyearold neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.The weather was fine，but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager. “Youre thinking, is this how its all going to end？”Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldnt find her. I thought，“If I dont get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. Thats when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car？” Andersen says respectfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”56. What might be the main reason for the car accident?AThe sharp U-turn.BThe steep dam.CThe sudden brake.DA truck hitting the car.57. Andersen didnt expect any trouble on the road because _Ahe was familiar with the roadBhe was good at drivingChis hands didnt have sweatDthe weather was fine58. What can be learned from the last paragraph?AAndersen lost consciousness in the water.BStrangers helped Andersen out of the car.CAndersen liked Mia most among the children.DStrangers teamed together to save the three children.59. The underlined sentence is to express Andersens feeling of being_AtiredBexcitedCdoubtfulDgratefulBTAIBEI Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the islands “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate（研究生）programs on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998Although no latest official numbers were available,” Netbig. Com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year. The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market, Net. Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a masters degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies. A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig. Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine. At present, Chinese Taibei doesnt recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates（证书）from selected universities. 60.

The number of Taiwanese students going to study on the mainland will surely beincreasing in the next few years. C. Chinese Taibei doesnt help with any inquiries about Taiwanese studying in themainland D. Education of Taiwan is far behind the mainland.CMost of us are used to seasons. Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience.Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods.A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age. It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern regions. This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern.Scientists have long assumed that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere during the 30,000-year-long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea, the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up.The researchers used a computer model to look at ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time.The model showed that if it was only in the northern hemisphere that ice melted there would have been a bigger effect on ocean currents and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too.The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South.It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt.64. What does the new research from Switzerland show?A. The ice didnt melt in either northern or southern regions.B. The ice melted at both ends of the earth.C. The ice melted in northern regions.D. The ice melted in southern regions.65. Why were the researchers from the University of Bern surprised at the new study?A. Their computer model worked.B. The belief was held by some leading scientists.C. It is against the long assumed belief.D. Their research proved the long assumed belief was true.66. What caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt?A. It is unknown. B. The rising sea level.C. The greenhouse gases. D. The high temperature in the Antarctic Ocean.DIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition of each new skill the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness. As regards the development of moral st
