Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.
“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a smile.
The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.
Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.
I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”
As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.
My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they
were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.
These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.
56．What kind of person did the author think her father was?
A．Optimistic.B．Conservative.C．Sensitive.D．Romantic. 57．What can we know about the author’s family?
A．Her mother was the family’s provider.B．She didn’t get on well with her father.
C．Her parents were emigrants to Italy.D．Her parents shared similar personalities. 58．How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?
A．Surprised.B．Awkward.C．Thrilled.D．Heartbroken. 59．What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A．Interests.B．Ideas.C．Sides.D．Possibilities. 60．What did the author find out about her father through the letters?
A．He was good at hiding his feelings.B．He regretted not being with his family.
C．He was a loving husband and father.D．He was stubborn from the inside out.
Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the mountains and blue skies of the North California landscape. They will also function as solar panels (太阳能电池板), able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.
Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a great technological achievement whose power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.
“It’s sort of like a transparent (透明的) computer display run backwards,” says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “That is, instead of electricity being sent to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be sent
out of different points in the window.”
Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar batteries used in roof panels (板), and these windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. But those standards are already enough to make the windows a promising product, says Hardev, adding the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is to make the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”
61．What makes the new glass windows special?
A．They can offer an amazing view.
B．They are controlled by computers.
C．They can power the conference room.
D．They can help stare toward the future.
62．What is Hardev trying to explain in paragraph 3?
A．Where the light comes from
B．The importance of different points
C．The similarity of computers and glass
D．How the energy-producing glass works
63．What can affect power production according to the passage?
A．The transparency of the glass.B．The quality of the rooftop.
C．The height of the solar panels.D．The thickness of the glass.
64．What is the biggest problem Ubiquitous Energy needs to solve?
A．To change the window structure B．To increase the size of the window
C．To protect the windows from lighting D．To fix windows reasonably in an office 65．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Windows: A New Challenge of Technology
B．Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the Light
C．Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near Future
D．Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels
From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome (令人惊叹的) machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (养育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折).
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
66．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.
A．are ready to change their minds
B．don’t have the ability to control themselves
C．can’t be successful with self-control
D．are easily affected by windy weather
67．Losers would think that ______.
A．their failure is accidental
B．working hard will lead to success
C．they are responsible for success
D．they should make efforts to succeed
68．It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.
A．our success results from our attitudes
B．one can rise to the level that one expects
C．we should be responsible for our thoughts and beliefs
D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action
69．The last paragraph serves as ______.
A．the proof of the author’s points
B．an introduction to another topic
C．the conclusion of the argument
D．a comparison between two views
70．Which is the best title for the text?
A．The secrets of success.
B．How to achieve success.
C．Develop our confidence.
D．Success depends on you.
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

I always do voluntary work in the hospital. As a patient visitor, my primary goal is to deliver quality services to patients and families. By providing companionship for patients in a sometimes lonely environment, I try my best to serve and help to diminish the loneliness and frustration patients may feel after staying in a hospital for a stretch of time for weeks or even months.
Every Saturday afternoon for three to four hours, with a list of patients who have requested
a patient visitor service, I head up to the 5th 6th or 7th floor to first visit my priority patients. At the nurse’s station, I kindly ask the nurses or the medical staff about the condition of the patients on that unit and confirm that the patients would like a visitor. After receiving an update from the nurse, I gently knock on the door of the patients and enter with a friendly “Hello”. Then, I introduce myself and again politely ask if they would like a patient visitor. I usually try to prepare a few starting conversation topics such as the current news, sports scores and fun facts. However, the patients usually engage me first in an interesting conversation.
When volunteering as a patient visitor, I spent a lot of time communicating one-on-one with patients. Individual patients had individual needs and possessed. extraordinary personal stories. Therefore, I found every visit fascinating. From generous and kind patients I have learned about their diseases and their course of treatment. Additionally, I learned about literature, life during the Great Depression and wilderness of Northern Minnesota. On the whole, not only did I learn about the hospital settings and system, but I learned about the diverse life of others.
Many of the patients I have visited were truly inspiring and I always admire them for their strength. Although difficult, they were often willing to share their stories of pain, suffering, hopes and optimism. I realize that I am truly grateful and honored that they would share their personal stories with just a volunteer like me.
71．What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph I mean? (1 word)
72．What are the topics the author prepares for the patients? (no more than 10 words) 73．What did the author learn from her talking with the patients (no more than 12 words) 74．How does the author feel about the patients telling her their stories?
