At that moment, tears 53 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 54 .Although I had struggled with silent 55 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions.Love is action.We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2份,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It‘s time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It’s to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.
But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
If you like the idea of a prom, why don‘t you and your classmates organize one for your
graduation?

B. They don’t like to be accompanied by their parents.
C. They don’t want to depend on their parents.

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour‘s flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, “This ground should be searched for metals.‘’From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, “Uranium”.
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth‘s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of location minerals in the ground---using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested .Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging into the deeper. They did dig and found more gold below. They dug deeper. They found large quantities of gold.
61. Scientists were flying over a desert or hilly wasteland or a mountain region in order to search for _____ in the ground.
A. gold B. minerals C. silver D. metals
62.The study of trees, branches and roots indicates that_______.
A. there were larger amounts of gold in the branches than in the seeds.
B. there were larger amounts of gold in the seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk than seeds growing on the ends of branches.
C. there were more gold in the branches than in the roots
D. were small amounts of gold in the roots than in the branches
63. Which is the best title?
A. Scientists searching for metals with special power.
B. Gold could be found by trees and plants.
C. A new method of searching for minerals--using trees and plants.
D. New methods of searching for minerals.
64. Which of the following is not mentioned as part of a tree that can help find minerals?
A. leaves B. branches C. roots D. seeds
65. The scientists were searching for minerals by using ______.
A. X-ray B. trained eyes C. magic power D. a special instrument
C
Picture a wasteland of old computer monitors(显示屏) and TVs, stretching as far as the eye can see. Imagine towers of boxes, all of them filled with broken glass and discarded (废弃的) electronic devices. Technology graveyards like this can be found in communities across the country.
Experts say that landfills(废物填埋地) and warehouses will overflow unless a plan for the disposal (清理)and reuse of electronics is put into place . “We can’t put electronics and glass aside and tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later ,” Lauren Roman , managing director of Transparent Planet said. Roman’s group works to improve the disposal of electronic waste. She says about 660 million pounds of tech-trash is produced each year in the U.S.
What’s behind the tech trash pile-up ?About ten years ago ,major advances were made in computer and television technology . Manufacturers began producing devices like flat –paneled LCDs and plasma(等离子) screen monitors. These new products provide a clearer image and take up less space than older models. It goes without saying that consumers choose them rather than heavy glass-based technologies.
The new electronics are built with materials that are difficult to recycle. In addition, the new products have decreased the demand for recycled parts from the older monitors and screens. Older, heavier computer monitors and TVs used glass-based components called CRTs.
CRTs have a high lead content and can be environmentally hazardous if not recycled properly . If crushed and put in landfills, the lead from CUTs could seep into groundwater and rivers, harming the water supply. For many years, plants and recycling programs safely processed CRTs. The recycled CRTs were reused in the construction of new monitors.
Monitors being made today do not use glass tubes . “People are returning old –style TVs with CRTs , but no new ones are being made ,” said Linnell. This is creating an imbalance in the amount of glass being disposed of and recycled properly. Many recycling companies have shut down. Others no longer have the resources or space to process these materials. This results in stockpiling.
However , experts say there are ways to safely and responsibly address the tech-trash problem.
66.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. New technology causes trouble for recyclers.
B. Experts are trying to solve the tech-trash problem.
C. New technology has both advantages and disadvantages.
D. CRTs from old computer monitors and TVs harm the earth.
67.What Lauren Roman says in Paragraph 2 shows that .
A. people attach great importance to electronic waste
B. he has found a new way on how to dispose electronic waste
C. figuring out how to deal with electronic waste is urgent
D. more landfills are needed for storing electronics and glass
68.We learn from Paragraph 3 that flat-paneled plasmas and LEDs .
A. produce wastes which are less harmful
B. are using heavy , grass-based technologies.
C. are very easy for recyclers to recycle for reuse
D. are putting heavy, glass-based technologies out of the market
69.What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Risky. B. Helpless. C. Extreme. D. Unnecessary.
70.What would the writer probably talk about next?
A. Some other problems related to technologies.
B. Some experts’ opinions on the tech-trash problem.
C. Some reasons why the tech-trash problem is hard to solve.
D. Some practicable ways to solve the tech-trash problem.

October 15, 1970 was declared International White Cane Safety Day (IWCSD)(国际盲人节) for the first time by the President of the International Federation of the Blind (IFB). This date was adopted at the first convention of the IFB, held in Colombo on October 4, 1969. The object of the exercise is to enable the general public to have a better understanding of blindness and visual handicap, and to make people more aware of the white cane as a mobility aid.
Peguillyd’Herbemont was born on 25th June 1888 into an old French noble family of the same name. In her youth she led the conventional and protected existence, lack of great activity, of a girl from a “good family”, an existence reminding of the life of the aristocracy (贵族) before the French Revolution. She never visited a public school, but was educated by German and English governesses and nuns. Her movements were restricted and were mainly confined to the family positions in Paris and Belgium, but she spent most of her time at the castle of Charmois not far from Verdun.
In the process of helping individual blind people across the road, Peguillyd’Herbemont was made aware by narrow scrapes (刮擦) which almost led to accidents of the dangerous situation of the visually impaired(受伤的) brought about by the steadily increasing traffic on the roads. She first spoke about measures to protect the blind against street hazards to her mother in 1930, but she was of the opinion that it was unfit for a lady of good society to create a public outcry and advised her to stick to the transcription of books, a popular pastime of ladies of rank at the time.
But the idea did not leave her. The urgent wish to encourage the integration (融合) of the blind into society by providing them with a means of moving about more freely without endangering others, and at the same time attracting the attention of passers-by ready to offer assistance, caused her to take the unusual step of writing to the editor of the Paris daily Echo de Paris in which she suggested issuing the blind of the Paris region with white sticks similar to those used by the traffic police.
The editor took up the idea, published it in November 1930 and saw to it that the relevant authorities acted with atypical(非典型的)speed. Thus it was that the white cane received official backing, and on 7th February 1931.
71. The underlined words “the exercise” here refer to _____.
A. the founding of the IFB B. the first convention of the IFB
C. the convention of the IFB D. the declaration of IWCSD
72. Which of the following is true about Peguillyd’Herbemont?
A. She was taught German and English at a public school.
B. Though she could travel around Europe, she spent most time at Charmois.
C. She led a typical aristocrat life when she was young.
D. She worried about possible street hazards for the blind, witnessing many traffic accidents.
73. _____ gave her the white cane idea.
A. The accident she had when helping blind people across the road
B. Her concern about the dangerous situation for the blind caused by the increasing traffic
C. The scrapes she got when crossing the road
D. Her urgent wish to integrate into society together with the blind
74. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. It was common for people to write to newspapers to voice their opinion at the time.
B. Peguillyd’Herbemont’s mother didn’t want her to draw the public’s attention.
C. Peguillyd’s strong desire to help the blind made her not a looker-on but an advocate.
D. The editor contributed a lot to the declaration of International White Cane Safety Day.
75. This passage mainly wants to tell us _____.
A. Peguillyd’Herbemont’s achievements
B. how to care for the blind
C. the function of the white cane
D. how International White Cane Safety Day came into being
