18、I can honestly say it was the best of times and the worst of times. I was joyfully expecting my first child but at the same time my once energetic, warm hearted mother was 36 her battle with a brain tumor（瘤）. For ten years, my fiercely independent and 37 mother had fought, but none of the treatments

But now, finally, at only fifty five, she became totally 39 unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own.As she grew closer and closer to death, my 40 grew closer and closer to life inside me. My biggest 41 was that their lives would
20、never connect. I was sad not only at the 42 loss of my mother, but that she and my baby would never know each other. Her doctor did not 43 any hope; they told us her time was up.We brought Mother 44 to her own bed in her own house, and we insisted on care to keep her comfortable. As 45 as I could, I

27、nt it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real problem. It is caused by disruption to the internal biological clock, and may lead to digestive problems, tiredness, and sleep disruption.Generally speaking, our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone, b
28、ut jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south, we wont notice any difference, because t
29、here is usually no time zone change. However, if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned, and problems may arise. A west to east journey, on the other hand, makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustmen
30、t since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule.

33、year old former secretary from England, began to study the behaviors of chimpanzees in the wild. Until that time, scientists had mostly observed and studied chimpanzees in laboratories and zoos. Few scientists had gone to study chimpanzees in the remote areas of Africa where the chimps live. When sc
34、ientists had studied the chimpanzees in the wild , they hadnt spent long periods of time observing them. Jane Goodall planned to watch chimpanzees in Africa over a ten year period and see exactly how they behaved. She was not a professional scientist when she started out. Her book, In the Shadow of
35、Man, tells how she began her project and what she discovered.As Goodall said in 1973, “I had no qualifications at all. I was just somebody with a love of animals”. Her love of animals drew her to Africa where she met Dr Louis S.B. Leakey. Leakey was a world famous scientist who was studying how preh
36、istoric people lived. Since chimpanzees are humans closest living relatives, Leakey thought prehistoric people might have lived in the same ways that chimpanzees live today. Leakey told Goodall that studying chimpznzees might give clues about the way that early people lived.Leakey asked Goodall to s
37、tudy the chimpanzees on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Africa. The chimpanzees were very shy and the country was very difficult to travel through. Goodall took on the difficult job of finding and watching the chimpanzees.60It is clear from the text that Jane Goodall decided to study chimpanzees .A
38、because she was working in a laboratory.Bwhen she was doing research for a book.Cbecause of her scientific work in England.Dafter she met Dr Leakey in Africa.61Dr Leakey thought that studying chimpanzees would help his work because chimpanzees .Aare east to locate in the wildBare closely related to

42、ifficulties that Jane facedCemphasizes the link between chimpanzees and humansDindicates that Janes experiences mirrored those of other scientistsCOn December 26, 2003, the worst earthquake in more than a decade devastated Bam, a historic city in Iran. At least 25,000 people died in the quake nearly
43、 a third of the citys population. And thousands more were left homeless, hungry, and grieving.Bam was a city of mud brick houses, old monuments and an ancient castle. But nearly everything crumbled in the disaster. One reason the earthquake caused such damage was that Bams buildings were made mostly
44、 from baked mud. There buildings collapsed in heaps of dust and sand.Bam was best known for its 2,000 year old castle built out of mud, straw, and the trunks of palm trees. The castle was so big that it was once the city of Bam itself. Public dwellings lined its ground level; a market place and two
45、mosques also fit comfortably inside.Bam once blossomed as a trading post on the Silk Road. In the 16th and 17th centuries, treasures from the Far East were carried along the road into the capital cities of Europe. Fifty years ago, teams of architects began restoring the historic treasures of the cit
46、y. Ever since, thousands of visitors have come to admire them.In the face of this tragedy, food and other supplies from around the world landed in the provincial capital of Kerman on Sunday. With such support, spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed, “We will rebuild Bam stronger than before.”
47、65This passage is most likely taken from a(n) .AnewspaperBhistory textbookCbook reviewerDmagazine on international trade66What was Bam most famous for?AThe trunks of palm trees.BFrequent earthquakesCAn old mud and straw castleDTreasures from the Far East67Which of the following is CORRECT about the
48、earthquake in Bam?AAbout 50,000 people survived the earthquake.BNot many countries sent food and supplies to Bam.CThe 2003 earthquake was the worst one in its history.DThe city of Bam would be deserted after the earthquake.DThis is one of the most tasty ways of cooking carrots, and also the most sen
49、sible. Root vegetables easily absorb fat. By cooking not in water but in butter, you help to conserve nourishment.You need a thick saucepan with a really tightfit lid. (This is essential because the carrots cook in the steam from their own moisture, and they produce so little steam that none of it m

55、Personal GrowthThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the students whose grades improve, the foreigner
56、who learns a new language all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process
57、 is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they gain new experiences and face unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to
58、accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and
59、 curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Then we may hesitate, move slowly, and not take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to co
60、pe with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self doubt are both unavoidable and necessary for us to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, th
61、en we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.72A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .Ahe has given up his smoking habitBhe has made great efforts in his workChe is keen on learning anything newDhe has tried to determine where he is on his journey7
62、3In the authors eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would .Asucceed in climbing up the social ladderBjudge his ability to grow from his own achievements Cface difficulties and take up challengesDaim high and reach his goal each time74When the author says “a new way of being”, he is refe
