ADena is my only child, and like most very young children, she couldn't understand why occasionally her parents had to leave her.My work required me to travel a lot. When she was six, I used to prepare her for my departure so she wouldn't feel so hurt when I left. I would be extra nice, or talk about plans for all kinds of new fun.Whenever I did such things, Dena would say, ……You're goi ng away again, aren't you?" And each time I returned home, I rushed to her, and gave her kisses, presents and promises of picnics and parties, as well as all expressions of the guilt I felt at leaving her. I wanted very much to hear her say “I missed you”, but she never di d. I sensed a great withdrawal by Dena.Once on a trip, I was in a hospital in India, in a room where a mother and a father sat quietly watching their little son who had just been brought in from the operating room. When the boy awoke I expected them to rush towards him. But they didn't. The boy looked around and saw them, but said nothing. After a while he called them and they came. They touched him gently, never showing any fear or concern, though they must have felt both deeply.They attended to his need, and then returned to sit quietly. The boy determined when he needed them and how much he needed them. The parents did not smother him with their love or fears but they were pillars （支柱）of strength and security.That time when I returned home, Dena and her mother met me at the airport. I didn't bring the usual gifts, nor did I lavish(过分慷慨地施予) kisses and promises on Dena. I gave her a warm hug and kiss, and talked casually about ordinary things.

The main purpose of this passage is to teach parents _______.A. how to offer their kids love correctlyB. how to attend to kids when they are ill .C. how to encourage kids to show their loveD. how to say goodbye to their kids when leavingBThe old saying, “So simple a chil d can do it” has taken on a new meaning for me. A few weeks ago, I got a computer, but I was mechanically illiterate. I knew that children had no fear of the future, so that seemed a good place to seek help. I asked my nephew, twelve years old at an elementary school, to help me.My nephew took the machine for granted and has simply accepted the fact that computers are now a way of life. He plays with them and does his homework on them and even creates programs for them. I, on the other hand, am terrified by what this equipment can do- It can interchange paragraphs, switch words around and even correct my spelling. It informs me of its limitations, takes commands and asks questions. It even seems to have a sense of communication. Rather than accusing me of making an e rror, it prints “One of us has made a mistake!" It never gets tired and is always patient when I make mistakes.I think it is somewhat normal for me to be suspicious ofcomputers. They mean a break with some very familiar habits and traditions. It is only human nature to instinctively avoid anything that shifts thoroughly from the acceptable, comfortable past. But the world is governed by constant changes and we must therefore establish links with the present and future as well as the past. Computer technology is an excellent case, as the newest systems grow out of date in only a few years, or even months.The ability to see, experience and accept the new is one of our saving characteristics. To be fearful of tomorrow, to close ourselves to possibilities, to resist the inevitable, and to keep standing still when all else is moving forward are to lose touch. If we accept the new with joy and wonder, we can move gracefully into each tomorrow. More often than not, the children shall lead us.31. Several weeks ago, the author ______.A. understood an old sayingB. knew little about computersC. couldn't afford a computerD. told his/her nephew to be brave32.

The author thinks that it is human nature to resist things that ______.A. represent the comfortable pastB. change thoroughly into the familiar pastC. make people stand still when all is movingD. change completely from the familiar past35. What can be conveyed from the passage?A. Keep pace with the times.B. Be hopeful about our futureC. Learn from younger generations.D. Improve our computer skills immediately.CRalph Waldo Emerson once asked, ……what is success?" He answered his own question, “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded." I have always believed in this definition of success, and' keep Emerson's words tacked to my bedroom wall. Only recently, though, did I realize I had the privilege of knowing a true embodiment of this definition.January 30, 2014 was like any other night until the phone rang. When the voice asked for my father, I could sense something was not right. An Upper Darby police officer had been shot and my father, a captain, rushed out of the house. Noticeably shaking, my father did manage to tell my mother and me on his way out of the house, "My colleague, Dennis McNamara's been shot ... he's in bad shape." My mother and I stood in shock and. disbelief. All we could do was pray as we waited by the phone. When it rang, our worst fears, not our prayers, were answered.A week later, as Mr McNamara's horse-drawn casket (棺材) was driven through our town, I stood with the same feeling. Thousands lined the streets to watch the procession pass. Grown men saluted and children waved flags as the casket went by. The services were fit for royalty, but Mr McNamara wasn't a prince. He was, however, a hero.I met Mr McNamara when I was five years old. He was my first softball coach although for a very short period. Twelve years ago, I would never have imagined reaching the point where I am at softball now. I've been selected to play on two All-Catholic softball teams and one All-City team, and am hoping to play in college. Mr McNamara used to joke that this was all due to his coaching. Although he was only joking, he was right. Where would I be without him? If I had never met him, I might be playing softball with good techniques, but I probably would not have thesame love for it.Many times, we often see wealth, fame and glory as success. Mr McNamara had none of these things, nor did he ever seek any of them, though he was presented with countless awards for his devotion. To those who know him, humorous Mr McNamara was always a hero. That night in January, he became a hero to people who had never even met him. He was killed in the line of duty. He died selflessly protecting his community,36. According to Ralph' Waldo Emerson, success suggests that ______.A. one lives for others' pleasureB. one makes great contributionsC. we devote ourselves to great careersD. we achieve the greater goals than ever37. From Paragraph 3: we can learn that Dennis McNamara ______.A. made many friends in the townB. was greatly honored for his actionsC. didn't tell people about his real identityD. was honored for being a prince in the town38. How did Dennis McNamara help the author in playing softball?A. By teaching the author excellent techniques.B. By training the author carefully for a long time.C. By inspiring the author's love for playing softball.D. By recommending the author to famous softball teams.39. Dennis McNamara became a hero mainly because of ______.A. his good humorB. his countless awardsC. his great wealth and fameD. his devotion to his community40. Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage?DRed groupers(石斑鱼) are known for a few key characteristics -- their color, which can range from pink to bright orange; their tastiness, whether they're grilled or fried; and their predation（捕食）method, in which they attack fellow sea creatures and swallow them whole.But their least-known quality might be the most valuable of all: They operate as underwater architects, transforming the views of the sea for numerous other forms of underwater life, rather than just residing there. That surprising discovery is forcing scientists and policymakers toreadjust their approach to preserving the ocean's natural order –and heightening tensions with those who fish for a living or as a hobby.A team of scientists, led by Florida State University's Felicia Coleman, recently found that the red groupers off Florida's east and west coasts and throughout the Gulf of Mexico have created entire ocean communities by digging large holes in the sea's sandy bottom. In the same way beavers (海狸) construct dams, red groupers dig and maintain distinct holes whose rocky surfaces provide a place for coral, sponges and other marine life to gather.The discovery was published in January in the Open Fish Science Journal. “Our view of fish is changing," said Marine Conservation Biology Institute president Elliott Norse, whose group helped fund Col eman's research. “We now see fish as living, breathing creatures, not only as meat."This new understanding is 'changing the way federal and state authorities manage ocean habitats and is creating a completer new crack with fishermen. “The people who are in control want to stop fishing as much as possible," said Bob Jones, executive director of the Southeastern Fisheries Association. He added that the recent discovery about red groupers amounted to an excuse they could use to restrict fishing, commercial or enjoyable."But to many researchers, fisher officials and even some fishermen, thefact that red groupers act as environmental engineers provides a believable reason to protect them from being overfished. "If you remove that fish, it puts into the movement of a whole chain of events," said Don de Maria. “There are a lot of other animals that are affected. I'm not saying you can‟t catch them. But you can't do it to the extent where we've been doing for the last 20 years."41. From Paragraph l, we can learn that red groupers ______.A. can change from pink to orangeB. are tasty and refreshing if cookedC. are violent predatory fish but eatableD. live on all the sea creatures as a whole42. Red groupers are called underwater architects because they can ______.A. dig holes for the entire ocean communitiesB. help construct dams for beavers in the sea's bottomC. change the views of the sea by their colorful appearanceD. keep different holes for coral, sponges and other marine life43. Who has probably made the least-known discovery of red groupers?A. Don de Maria.B. Bob Jones.C. Elliott Norse.D. Felicia Coleman.44. According to Bob Jones, fishermen ______.A. cannot benefit much from the" discoveryB. don't want to be controlled for commercial purposeC. have given up fishing to respond to the government's callD. hope that federal and local governments will forbid fishing45. What does Don de Maria strongly urge us to do in the last passage?A. No overfishing will be permitted anytime or anywhere.B. We should no longer fish for red groupers as we used to do.C. We should fish not for red groupers but beavers and sponges.D. No fishing is encouraged in all the environmentally-friendlyareas.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
