What does love mean? Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the tuition (学费) for my brother and me. They don’t in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 39 voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 40 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. 41 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 42 . “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of time it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a 43 . It can 44 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 45 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next 46 . At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 47 , every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 48 on the country road. My father had never been so 49 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun softly shone through the leaves. All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 51 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,” he said kindly. “To tell you the truth, I just like 52 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 53 his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 54 , I understand that love is just a 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Ⅳ.阅读理解（共题每小题分）请阅读下短文，选择最佳答案，将其标号在答题卡上涂黑。

A
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1: The telephone creates the need to Communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4: 00 p. m. and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2: The mobile phone means that we are never alone. "The mobile saved my life," says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3: The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4: The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices but l could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near—but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!"
Point 5: The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know; what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(接近、使用) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
56. How do you understand "Point 1--The telephone creates the need to communicate... "?
A. People don't communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
57.Which of the following best shows the author's attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people's life.
58. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. The Influence of Phones
B. Kinds of Phones
C. How to Use Phones
D. Advantage of Phones
B

Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.

you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing; check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.

Before I came to China, I had heard that, although North Americans eat more than Chinese, Chinese eat better. Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand. A whole new world of food has been opened up to me.
Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals(惯例) associated with eating. For example, shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebody’s teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave.
There may be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption(吃喝) of food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me!
More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigner to a meal. They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please.
Having played the part of the foreigner at more than one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from. I myself have felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners I have been invited to.
One time I was invited to a dinner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin. Its menu was based on seafood.
I was still relatively new to the concept (概念) that your fish would be brought live to your table. In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand. Something we don’t like is considering what our food looks before the actual consumption.
However, having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some of the selections for the evening’s meal. I hesitated at the scorpions(蝎子), but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they were tasty.
The meal was winding its way(蜿蜒向前) along without any problems. Then they brought out the
lobster(龙虾). I looked at it and then looked at it again and noticed that it was still moving! It had been brought out live to show that our raw lobster was indeed very fresh.
At that point, I nearly lost it. It took all my composure(镇定) for me to stay seated at the table and hurl(冲进) myself in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes.
Now the interesting thing is that when I tell that story to a foreigner, the reaction is always the same: Horror, sympathy, shock. When I tell the same story to Chinese, they don’t understand my point of view. In fact, I often think that they believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact a lobster had been served live at the table.
63. According to the author of the passage, it is the Chinese custom ___________.
A. to fill somebody’s teacup all the way up
B. not to fill somebody’s teacup full
C. not to fill somebody’s teacup half way
D. not to desire the guest to leave
64. The author felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners because _________.
A. she disliked scorpions and lobster
B. the service in the restaurants were not good enough
C. she disliked that the things were brought live to the table
D. she thought the food was not fresh enough
65. It can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage that___________.
A. the author can get support from foreigners
B. Chinese don’t understand the author’s point of view
C. something is truly wrong with the author
D. different countries may have different rituals of consumption
66. The word “buffet” in the fifth paragraph means __________.
A. meal
B. party
C. food
D. service
D
You might say that one reason Barack Obama is president of the US is because he knows how to give a good speech.
Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
Before becoming president, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memories have become best-sellers.
What’s more, he has some secret weapons.
Teleprompter: Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his Teleprompter. The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he goes to speak.
Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits(编辑)and rewrites the drafts(草稿)several times.
Tricks for lighthearted speeches:
Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently teasing his guests. His opening lines grab the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
Make fun of yourself: A good rule for speechmakers: If you’re going to make a joke about someone else, be sure to make one about yourself, too. Obama mocks(嘲弄) his own poor choices for filling the position of Commerce Secretary, saying, “No president in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly.” In fact, his first two nominees（被提名人） for the position withdrew(撤出) their names for different reasons. In a process that had otherwise gone smoothly, the Obama Administration was tripped up(为难) by the problem of filling the Commerce seat.
67. Why do people think highly of Obama’s speeches?
A. Because he knows how to use a notebook and how to play jokes.
B. Because he is handsome and has a writing team.
C.Because he knows how to make fun of the guests and has some secret nuclear weapons.
D. Because he treats the audiences as brilliant adults and knows how to explain complex ideas.
68. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Obama felt easy to fill the Commerce seat.
B. Obama appointed three Commerce Secretaries at a time.
C. It was difficult for Obama Administration to fill the Commerce seat.
D. All the nominees withdrew their names for different reasons..
69. From the passage, we know that Obama’s secret weapons are all these EXCEPT ____.
A. a writing team
B. a teleprompter
C. humor
D. motivation
70. What is the text mainly about?
A. What contributes to Obama’s successful speeches.
B. How Obama plays tricks for a lighthearted speech.
C. How Obama can become a president.
D. What Obama has done to make himself successful.
