In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniels life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I dont find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” Thats all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldnt understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .36. A. experience B. spend C. enjoy D. shape37.

In either case, the sticker price(标价) of a new car would be less than $ 50. Why havent you guys kept up?”The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government wont let us build cars that crash four times a day. “Why is that funny (or not funny, as the ease may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, siteoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thing-thats why weve all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. When we look at laughter-what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier, theres a huge amount about it that no one understands yet.56. The best title of the passage is _.A. Joke B. Laughter C. Fun D. Humor57. Which of the following sentences in this passage is the most humorous?A. “You would now be driving a V-32 instead of V-8.” B. “ It would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour.” C. “The sticker price of a new car would be less than $ 50.” D. “The federal government wont let us build cars that crash four times a day.”58. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Humans laugh because of jokes, sitcoms and comedies. B. Humans laugh because it can fight disease. C. Humans have gained skills to laugh since they are born. D. Laughter is a complex response of humans.59. What is the writer likely to talk about next? A. What is laughter?B. How do people laugh? C. When is laughter the best medicine?D. Where does laughter take place? BHow many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We wont see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesnt seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness.So next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: theres more in the Sky than we can see! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.60. According to the article, what causes a star to die? A. As its gases run out, it cools down.B. It has a collision with other stars. C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.61. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Black holes are dead stars. B. Black holes have gravity. C. Black holes are invisible. D. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.62. What happens AFTER a star dies? A. It becomes invisible. B. It fails to Earth. C. It burns up all of its gases. D. It becomes brighter and easier to see.63. Why cant you see light when you look at a black hole? A. Because most black holes are so far away. B. Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward. C. Because as the stars gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.D. Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center. CYou and your friends are packing up for some car camping in the great outdoors. In addition to a couple of tents and multiple sleeping bags, youve packed a cooler full of burgers and hot dogs, peanut-butter and lots of chocolate. One things for sure; the eatings going to be great on this trip-that is, unless One of Mother Natures most frightening and powerful creatures decides it wants to Share the wealth.Whether youre car camping like these folks or backpacking deep into the woods, you need to take preventative steps to avoid meeting a bear. A bears sense of smell is very strong. It uses this acute sense to shop for a mate, detect threats and, most importantly, locate food. If a bear smells your hotdogs, it might decide to pop in for a visit.A bear may lumber into your campsite for attractants like food and rubbish, and even your lip balm. How to manage odors to promote bear-free camping quarters? For one, dont attempt to mask the smell of rubbish with air fresheners. The smell of moth balls(驱虫剂)may not seem pleasant to you, but it will double the curiosity for a bear. You might also think it a good idea to throw your trash into the campfire. But bears like the smell of burning trash even more than the smell of regular rubbish.Instead, put your garbage in airtight plastic bags and string those between two trees, at least 10 to 15 feet above ground and at least 4 feet away from any tree or post. The airtight bags should reduce the smell.You can also store trash in bear-resistant food containers, which are usually available for rent at most bear country campsites. Be sure to latch the box completely. At night, place the container on the ground at least 100 feet or more from your campsite. That way, if a bear decides to hat the container around for a while, hell be nowhere near your tent.Lastly, remember that bears can detect human scent for 14 hours after people leave a campsite, so clean up for you and for your fellow camper.64. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The camping. B. The food. C. The trip. D. The bear.65. What doesnt a bear use its nose for?A. Shopping for a mate. B. Detecting threats.C. Locating food. D. Feeling ways.66. What can we infer from the passage?A. Camping is a dangerous outdoor activity.B. Camping with bears around is great.C. Camping involves more knowledge than just equipment, food and packing.D. Camping is an activity for hunters. DJustins bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room."What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack-a smaller version of his bedroom-a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin."Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" he asked. "I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if Im late on the first day itll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked really worried."Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings."Thats amazing! Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."67. Why is Justins room such a mess? A. He always forgets to clean it. B. He never throws anything away. C. He has no time to clean it. D. He shares the room with his brother.68. In what way is Justins backpack a smaller version of his bedroom? A. He uses it as a place to store objects. B. He uses it to carry his books and s
