59、o even more eagerly to the cemetery. While I tend my parents grave site, again I am with them in thought. ks5u One day I noticed a modest grave site behind my parents plot. It lay among the magnificent granite and marble markers of the other graves, its very simplicity calling attention to itself. I
60、vy(长春藤) had covered the site and its only decoration was a simple wooden cross on which was written in copper letters a name, and that she lived 22 years. Whenever I went by, the plot and its surroundings looked cared for and neat, and each time I felt curious about this mysterious woman who had liv
61、ed all of 22 years.Once I saw an elderly man leaving from there. I concluded that perhaps he had come to visit his wife. In 1996 I was preparing for All Souls Day in the cemetery when again I caught sight of him, tending the grave. Tall, somewhat bent, he was well passed middle age. We nodded to eac
62、h other and continued our work. Occasionally I stole a glance at my neighbor. When I noticed that he hadnt got the tools for a proper cleanup, I offered him mine, which he gratefully accepted. After this, it seemed only natural to engage him in conversation. I asked him whose grave it was. This was
63、his answer:“My mothers. She died young, in 1912 when I was only a year-and-a half old. I really never knew her. I made her that cross and the copper letters.”Then he went on:” No one comes to visit this grave but me because I was her only child. She died of pneumonia. My father remarried and my step
64、mother only cared for her own children. So then I always came here to my mother, whether in sadness or in joy. Later, life took me far afield, but I never forgot this grave. For me it was the same as the family home is for others. I always came home here.”“With the years passing, it is getting more

I was deeply moved because I knew that I had been given a great gift. I had been

74、根据短文内容，从A到F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。A. A sense of humor is not an inborn ability. ks5uB. A sense of humor can be developed in our life.C. A sense of humor helps us from several aspects.D. A sense of humor means more than telling jokes.E. A sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.F. A sense
75、 of humor helps people to better enjoy life.61. _ As awareness of the benefits of humor increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every
76、 system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.62. _ Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think that when it comes to a sense of humor, “either youve got it or you dont.” This is false. What is true, however, is that the ability to l
77、augh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.63. _ The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the
78、 same thing as having a sense of humor. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humor.”) Your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. Dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourselfthen you will make th
79、em laugh too.64. _ Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as
80、 they happen. In fact, one of the best definition of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation”.65._ There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humor, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humor benefits o
81、ur life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humor when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humor.第II卷（非选择题 共40分）第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的一篇作文。文中共有10处语言错误

87、ingA recent survey suggests that Senior High School students extracurricular reading varies from grade to grade. On average, Grade 1 students spend seven hours per week reading, Grade 2 four hours and Grade 3 two hours. ks5uIt occurs to that the distinction among students in different grades must ha
88、ve something to do with the increasing homework and pressure. As a result, students have to spend much more time preparing for tests, which leads them to the loss of their awareness of the importance of reading, as well as steals their passion.In my opinion both parents and schools should create a better environment to increase students reading time. For example, parents can read together with children on weekends and schools encourage students reading by reducing schoolwork.
