30、rap.On September 11th 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night
31、. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering
32、such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming. Dont expect any presents this year. Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cr

BLife with a lovely baby.CA special Christmas gift.DMemories of a happy family.CClosing the Gap Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged
37、 Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. Thats because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why? We live away from the o
38、ld for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes its so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old.
39、 And we have discovered that they often save the young. A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends,
40、with whom they shared food, stories and projects. My children have never been less lonely, the re-porter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly
41、 were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, My grandparents gave me a deep
42、 sense that things would turn out right in the end. Grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from worried parents. My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down, one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grand
43、parents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.63. Now in an American family, people can find that _. Achildren never live with their parents Bnot all working people live with their parents Caged people are supported by their grand-children Dgrandchildren are supported by their grand-parents 64
44、. The reason that old people are left alone may be _. Athe old dont like to live in a big family Bthe young cant get enough money to support the old Cdifferent generations have different lifestyles Dthe old are too weak to live with the young 65. The fact the reporter told us shows that _. Aold peop
45、le in America lead a hard life. Bold people in America enjoy banana bread Cshe had no rime to take care of her children Dold people are easy to get along with 66. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _. Athey had never seen a baby before Bthe baby was clever and beautiful Cthe baby brou
46、ght them the image of life Dthe babys mother would take care of them DCut off from societyYoure on your way to school as usual when suddenly an invisible barrier appears out of nowhere, trapping you underneath it and isolating you from the outside world. What do you do? This is the scary experience
47、the residents of a fictional town called Chesters Mill are going through in the US TV series Under the Dome. Based on famous US author Stephen Kings 2009 best-selling novel, the show has become “the highest-rated summer show in 21 years” since debuting (首播) on June 24, reported the New York Post. Th
48、e series begins with the dome (穹顶) making its alarming appearance. As the earth trembles and birds take off, an enormous, invisible barrier slices down, cutting the town off from the rest of the world. The residents quickly realize they are trapped, probably for quite some time. Families are separat
49、ed, emergency services are unreachable and water, food and fuel are strictly limited. There is no way out or in. But who or what is responsible? Nobody knows. Thus, the residents are at the mercy of unknown forces and their internal conflicts. While it provides an enjoyable TV thrill ride, the movie
50、s science fiction is closely linked with reality. “Not only is it worrying, suspenseful (悬疑的) and full of splendid special effects, but it has big thoughts about environmentalism and the future of the commented The Denver Post planet,” As King himself explained to The Telegraph: “The dome is a micro
51、cosm (微观世界) of life. We all live under the dome. We live on this little blue planet and so far as we know thats all weve got,” he said. “The resources that weve got are the resources that weve got; theyre limited.” But the show explores many themes in addition to environmental destruction. It also s
52、hows “how quickly the social order we take for granted can disappear when people are isolated and afraid”, said the Los Angeles Times. It is “a science-fiction social study”, said The Washington Post. “Once the people of Chesters Mill realize they are indefinitely trapped without means of food suppl
53、y, outside communication and power, their polite sense of small-town, American civilization begins to fall apart.” 67. The underlined word “isolating” in the first paragraph probably means _.Aprotecting BseparatingCdiscouraging Ddistinguishing68. In the TV series Under the Dome, _.Athe dome, which a
54、ppears out of nowhere, doesnt have huge effects on the residents livesBit takes a long time for residents to realize they are trapped by the invisible domeCnot knowing what has happened, the residents feel helpless against unknown forcesDbecause of the dome, the residents in the small town become mo
55、re united and helpful69. Why is the TV series closely linked with reality according to the article?ABecause it is suspenseful and uses splendid special effects to reflect modern life.BBecause the residents in the TV series live almost the same life as ordinary Americans do.CBecause it attaches great
56、 importance to following the social order even in frightening situations.DBecause it gets us to think about the future of the earth and the importance of environmental protection.70.
