In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(過渡的) 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(短須) 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.

A . the House B the garden C the Visitors Centre D. the exhibition hall BEver since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 轉(zhuǎn)基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential (潛力)of any company. In fact, Studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For example, a report that analysed (分析) nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to increase US crop production. Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（殺蟲劑）. However, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution (分配) and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact , scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report drew the conclusion that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.59. The author develops the second paragraph mainly _. A. by explanation B. by comparison C. by example D. by process60. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Control. B. Reduce C. Achieve. D. Increase.61. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from _. A. practicing “green” farming B. use of less chemicals C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel62. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?A. Positive B. Satisfied C. Disapproving D. Approving CBy adopting (采用) a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated（參與）in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, What is the doggie doing? other than Is the doggie running away? The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers，how to suggest alternative (可替換的) possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.63. What can we infer from the passage? A.

B. Is the elephant in the cage? C. What animals do you like? D. shall we go to the zoo?66. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Parents should be trained to read to their children B. The more children read, the more intelligent they will become C. Childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD. Children who read actively seem six months olderDJustins 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 worrie
