12、 the information he needed from the mother Brooke Walbuck, lector showed up the next day and surprised the boy, Langston, with the delivery. Of course, the gesture of delivering the parcel was nice enough, but it turned out what was inside male it even better! When Langston opened up the box, he fou
13、nd a collection of toy cars and a bunch of candy. It didnt get much better than that for a little boy. After the delivery was made, Brooke sent a follow-up text to thank Hector again. In his reply, Hector stated that he had two daughters himself. He kept a bunch of toy cars he had collected over the
14、 years. When he met Langston, he knew it was the perfect opportunity to put them to good use.

18、toy cars and candies. C. Old products can serve new purposes. D. Ordinary people can be extraordinary. CWhat is the most powerful word in the English language? The. Its everywhere. We use it in English without always noticing or appreciating it. Its not much to look at. It isnt descriptive, emotive
19、or inspiring. Technically, its meaningless. And yet this dull and harmless-seeming word could be one of the most powerful words in the English language. “The tops the lists of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100 words used. But why is this? The answer is two-fold. T
20、he principle of least effort plays a major part. So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning. Words are split into two categories: expressions with a semantic (语义的) meaning and functional words like “the”, “to”, “for”,
21、 with a job to do. Although “the” has no meaning in itself, “it seems to be able to do things in subtle and miraculous ways,” says Michael Rosen, poet and author. Consider the difference between “he scored a goal” and “he scored the goal”. The inclusion of “the” immediately signals something importa
22、nt about that goal. Perhaps it was the only one of the match? Or maybe it helped a team win the championship? Context very often determines sense. This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guards utterance of “Long live the King” is soon followed by the ghost:
23、 “Looks it not like the King?” Who, the audience may wonder, does “the” refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of confusion is the kind of “trick” that writers use to make us surprised and amused, a bit uneasy even. “The is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen. 28. Which of the followi
24、ng describes the word “the” correctly?A. It is often overlooked. B. It is useless in practice. C. It is dull and descriptive. D. It is in every English sentence. 29. The word “the” is frequently used because it is _.A. brief and functionalB. popular and uniqueC. effective and emotiveD. meaningful an
25、d expressive30. What does the example in Paragraph 3 imply?A. “A” is not as important as “the”. B. Its impossible to understand a single sentence.B. Words should be understood in the context. D. Some words have a clearer meaning than others. 31. Why did the writer of the play stress “the” in “Looks
26、it not like the King”?A. To show his confusion. B. To add drama to the scene. C. To repeat the guards words. D. To help the audience understand. DOur suits have four layers: thermal (保暖的) underwear on the inside, followed by an electrically heated bodysuit, a thick wool coat, and a half-inch-thick l
27、ayer of rubber outerwear. Therere two layers of hoods, waterproof gloves and 35 pounds of weights. There are two batteries for the heated bodysuit, a backup gas container, and finally, my photography equipment. We look like astronauts minus the helmets. When we finally dive into the freezing water,
28、were wearing 200 pounds each. The cold quickly numbs (使麻木) the few square inches of exposed skin on our cheeks, and as the dive goes on, it spreads into our suits and gloves, biting even harder. It s almost unbearable. Toward the end, as were pausing on our way up to let the pressure drop, we search
29、 for anything to distract us from the pain. When we finally drag ourselves out of the freezing ocean, I lie face down on the ice, my brain dulled, my skin hard and wrinkled, my lips, hands, and feet swollen and unconscious (无知觉的) then, as my body warms and the blood starts to flow (again), the inten
30、se pain is at its worst. What could possibly make this worthwhile? The sight! Only a few species of seals, penguins, and other birds live in East Antarctica, and no land mammals at all. Below, its a rich garden. Antarctic marine (海洋的) life has been largely isolated from the rest of the planet for mi
31、llions of years, ever since the continent separated from the other continents and froze over. Since then the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current has surrounded Antarctica from west to east, creating a sharp change in temperature that prevents the spread of marine animals. The long isolation has a
32、llowed a surprising diversity of species, unique to the region, to evolve on the seafloor. The waters under Antarctic ice are like Mount Qomolangma: magical, but extremely unfriendly. Nothing short of full commitment gets you anywhere. The demand is too great. But thats what makes the images you see
33、 here so breathtaking, and the experience of having photographed them and of having seen this place so unforgettable. 32. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. How fully prepared the divers are. B. How entertaining a diver appears to be. G. How advanced modern technologies are. D.
34、 How heavy the astronauts equipment is. 33. The divers suffer the greatest pain when they _. A. dive into the waterB. begin to resurfaceC. reach the deepest spotD. regain consciousness34. What do we know about marine species in Antarctica?A. They can be found elsewhere on the planet. B. They have un
35、impressive biological diversity. C. They experience sharp changes in temperature. D. They live relatively independently geographically. 35. What makes the diving experience in Antarctica so worthwhile?A. The amazing scenery and pictures taken. B. The divers devotion to the tough task. C. The long-st

When we finally got to my uncles, Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard needed help with
55、 anything. Since Chris was only nine, he got the easier job of cleaning up the watering cans. I was twelve, old enough to help load the wheelbarrow (手推车). But we still found time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he wink

Dad put the egg under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if it
57、had hatched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop (鸡舍) after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor.

65、ple couldnt find him. It was not easy to break him out of his coop without catching the attention of our parents, though. For several days, we worked on an escape plan, and finally decided that we would build a small shack in the woods and keep Timothy there. One day, when Chris begged our parents t
66、o drive him to the mall, I took Timothy to the shack we had built and left with him enough water and food. When they came back, I told my parents, while sobbing, that a fox must have got Timothy because he was nowhere to be found. With Timothy gone, Uncle Howard provided the turkey on Thanksgiving.
67、My brother and I both felt very proud of ourselves after Thanksgiving. Had we done nothing, Timothy would have spent the holiday in our bellies. But at the same time, a sense of guilt came over us. We decided to be honest with our parents. After listening to our story, to our great surprise, dad wasnt angry. Instead, he seemed to know that kids did crazy things when growing up. Not only were we not punished, but also we were given the responsibility to take care of Timothy from that day on.
