To 51 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that its fun to share with others a lesson I needed to 52 myself as well, as it 53 . One evening Danae had 54 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a childrens card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, Id like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. Theyre her favorites.”She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 5 that I didnt want her to give them away because then our 56 wouldnt be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 57 . I thought perhaps she didnt understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 58 . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you cant 59 them back tomorrow.”A look of 60 came over Danaes face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 61 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, thats okay; I want her to have them anyway.”What could I say to that? I sat 62 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 63 that our Go Fish set would be 64 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 65 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy.

I then realized she had no arms or legs , just a head, a neck and upper body, 68 ( dress ) in a little white skirt.As the couple wheeled her up to me, I turned my head toward the girl. When I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back 69 the girl, who was giving me the most optimistic, largest smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, 70 smile just melted me 71 almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of 72 life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and 73 ( bring ) me into her world; a world of smiles, love and 74 ( warm ). Im a successful business man now and whenever I think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught 75 . V. 阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，共40分）AThere are stories about two US . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OKWe dont know if either story is true，but they are both interesting The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very littleeducationIn fact，he had difficulty reading and writingWhen important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they saidIf he approved of a paperhe would write” all correct” on itThe problem was that he didnt know how to spellSo what he really wrote was “ol korekt”After a while，he shortened that term to “OK” The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New YorkVan Bnrens friends organized a club to help him become President They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”76The author A. believes both of the stories Bdoesnt believe a word of the storiesCis not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun77. According to the passage，President Jackson Acouldnt draw up any documents at all B. didnt like to read important papers by himselfCoften had his assistants sign documents for him D .wasnt good at reading，writing or spelling78According to the first story, the term “OK” A.was approved of by President Jackson Bwas the title of some Official documentsCwas first used by President Jackson Dwas an old way to spell“all correct79. According to the second story，the term “OK” Awas the short way to say “old Kinderhook Club” Bmeant the place where President Van Buren was bornCwas the name of Van Burens club Dwas used to call Van Burens supporters in the election80According to the second storythe term “OK” was first used _Aby Van Buren Bin a presidential electionCto organize the Old Kinderhook Club Dby the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”BIf we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a warSometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to WriteFor example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after themBut we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write Sometimesof course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the pastThey have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the pastThis we may call remembered historySome of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writingBut where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful81. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage? A“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliableBWritten records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human historyCA written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questionsDWhere there are no written recordsthere is no history82We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _ Athere was nothing worth being written down at that time B .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record Cthe written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire Dthe people there did not know how to write83“Remembered history” refers to _ Ahistory based on a persons imagination B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C. songs and dances about the most important events D. both B and C84“Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when _. A. it is written down B .no written account is available Cit proves to be time Dpeople are interested in it85 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _A kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in warsCtold exact stories of the most important happenings Dmade more songs and dancesCTrees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most importantIn his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poorWhen the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize thisThey cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees So，unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappearThis does not only mean that there will be fewer treesThe results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in， and also bind the soilThis prevents the soil from being washed awayBut where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow When aII the topsoil is gonenothing remains but worthless desert86，Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can _A. keep him from the hot sunshine Benable him to build warships Cmake him draw quick profit from them D .protect him from droughts and floods87Its a great pity that _Aman is only interested in building empires Bman is eager to profit from treesCman hasnt realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasnt found out that he has lost all trees88 Sooner or later the forests will disappear _A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees Bunless people stop cutting down their treesCunless aIl people are taught the importance of planting treesDunless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them89The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means“_”Ato wash away Bto make wet Cto make stay together Dto improve90. When there is a heavy raintrees can help to prevent floodsas they can. Akeep rain from falling down to soft ground B，cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inCprevent the soil from being washed away D .make the topsoil stick togetherVI.信息匹配：10A.
