The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did. On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in the distance. On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it –there aren’t any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay ,in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a XXXX to he other side and ,heading the boat XXXX the baby whale ,pushed it gently. With out several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swan up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising form the water right beside us to breathe –and to give us a trusting look with those huge eves. Once they hit their list part lf clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance. In the excitement is had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 51.The author says “I’m so glad I did.”(in para.2)because_______.

B For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admil any responsibility for starting it . From the parents; point of view, the only course of their fight is their asoloscents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation xxxxxx unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleannness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second , blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third , needing to be right. It boesn’t matter what the topic is——politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg——the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority ——someone who actually knows something ——and therefore to sommand respect. Unfortunately ,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress/ 55.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict? A.Both can continue for generations. B.Both are about where to draw the line. C.Neither has any clear winner. D.Ncither can be put to an end. 56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. C.The teens acouse their parcots of misleading them. D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents. 57.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______. A.give orders to the other B.know more than the other C.gain respect from the other D.get the other to behave properly 58.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A.Cuses for the parent-teen conflicts B.Examples of the parent-teen war C.Solutions for the parent-teen problems D.Future of the parent-teen relationship C They weat the latcst fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age. Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said,“Women over 75 are. now shopping for clothes more frequently than they lid when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket when ever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.” Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—at 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply. The professor said.“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the beart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.” Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流）style than in previous years. She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers wended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.” 59．Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, . A．the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70% B．the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6% C．people spend 30% less than they did on clothes D．the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6% 60．When can we learn about old women in terms of fashion? A．They are often ignored by fashion designers. B．They are now more easily influenced by stars. C．They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion. D．They are more interested in clothes because of their old age. 61．It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because . A．they get tired of things more quickly B．TV shows teach them how to change their look C．they are in much better shape now D．clothes are much cheaper than before 62．Which is the best possible title of the passage? A．Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans B．The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive C．Unexpected Changes in Fashion D．Boom of the British Fashion Industry D This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stsge of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author W.H.Armstrong, starts with the basice; reading and writing.In his opinion, raeding doern’t just mean recognizeing esch word on the page; it means taking in the information , digesting it and incorporaing it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life , not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Raeding and writing cannot be completely separated from esch other;in fact , the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text . I’ve seen it again and again ;some-one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all. Only a third of the book remains after that discussion , which Armstrong devoter to specific tips for studying languages ,math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻的) and equally ,except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history . Well , he was a history teacher ---if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students , that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got cross . To my disapppointment , in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact ,the demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind .Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired , actually , learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics. My other comment is that the text aged . The frist edition apparently dates to the 1960s , one of the references (参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age. These are small points , though , and don’t affect the main discussion . I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student. 63.According to Armstrong , the goal of reading is to A.gain knowledge and expand one’s view B.understand the meaning between the lines C.experts ideas based on what one has read D.get information and keep it alive in memory 64.The author of the passage insists theat learning the arts A.requires great efforts B.demands real passion C.is less natural than learning maths D.is as natural as learning a language 65.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong;s work according to the author A.Some ideas are slightly conteadictory. B.There is too much discussion on studying science. C.The styly is too serious. D.It lacks new information. 66.This passage can be classified as A.an advertisement B.a book review C.a frature story D.a news report E Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our cli,ate ,ore mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibemate. In fact, as a species, we almost did. Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in Fance liked a semi-state of hunman hibemation. Scwrites Graham Robb, a Brinsh scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end. In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the incention of artificial(人造的)lighting and the electric bulb. When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”.which was not clarified, though, Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’uninterrupted sleep is a modem incention, In the past, without the artificial light of the city bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then world themselves around midnight, The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animats,although many of them simply moved around or visited lamily and neighbours. According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia（失眠） at midninght is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping,which occurs in the beief period berore we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning, This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit uponmany of his new ideas. Flaying with your sleep rhythms can be adaunturous,as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sou
