My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day, he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me.

Western NY had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet (雨夹雪), or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child, I looked forward to the daily treats, but now I‟m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else.

My grandfather touched（感动）many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her, my grandfather had picked up for free told me of my grandfather‟s influence on his life. My grandfather took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless, my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket.

Living in the desert is really hard! With less than 10 inches of rainfall a year, deserts are dry all year round. Lots of heat from the sun and a shortage of water are just a few of the challenges facing desert animals.

Deserts are homes to many animals and plants. Few large animals have got used to life in the desert because their size makes it difficult to find shelter from the heat and they can‟t store water.

In order to survive, desert animals have developed a number of ways to live in their special habitat. The most common way is staying under plants or rocks or digging underground in the heat of the day. And many desert animals stay in shelter during the day and hunt at night when it is cool.

Some animals get the water they need from the insects, plants and seeds they eat, and do not need to drink. They do not have sweat glands(腺) and pass only small amount of waste water.

Some animals develop their own ways of surviving in deserts. The Thorny Devil is a kind of lizard that lives in Australian desert areas. It has a body that channels raindrops directly into its mouth when it rains. Water-holding frogs spend most of the year underground in Australian desert areas, and develop a sort of cocoon that enables them to store water to keep them going through the dry times. When it rains, they come out to lay their eggs in ponds. The eggs hatch within days and develop quickly, before the water dries out.

B. was much sad all the time D. didn‟t like his grandfather‟s action C. followed the example of his grandfather

Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.

Some eyes rolled(翻) and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms. Yates started to speak:

“I can‟t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven‟t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies(悲剧). I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven‟t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:

“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

C. eat as much as they can in the day A. Insects B. Seeds 45. Which of the following is not a source of water to some desert animals?

Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

46. What activity was organized for the school reunion?

Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.

“I would never have said to my mom, „Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?‟” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”

Discovery Trips in the Blue Mountains C. Great Tips for Great Trips 55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversation on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.

No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.

“There‟s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourage everyone to have a say.

“My parents were on the „before‟ side of that change, but today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the „after‟ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It‟s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”

56. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _______.

A. interest B. separation C. hobby D. distance

57. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?

A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.

B. Parents put more trust in their children‟s abilities.

C. Parents share more interests with their children.

D. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.

58. The change in today‟s parent-child relationship is _______.

A. more confusion among parents

B. more strictness and authority on the part of parents

C. less respective for parents from children

D. new equality between parents and children

59. By saying “today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the „after‟ side,” the author means that today‟s parents _______.

A. can set a limit to the change

B. follow the trend of the change D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change. C. fail to take the change seriously

60. The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship

B. describe the difficulties today‟s parents have met with

C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship

D. compare today‟s parent-child relationship with that in the past
