Of all my memories I have one that I wou
26、ld consider a perfect childhood memory.In my neighborhood there is a large lake with a small island in the center of it for as long as I could rembmer. It had been every childs dream to get to it, It was to be our greatest adventure. We named it Alligator Island, because of the alligators(鳄鱼) that w
27、ere removed to live on the island and in the surrounding lake.One day when I was about 10 years old, I was helping my friend Erika clean out her garage and we discovered a blow-up raft(皮筏). Naturally we had to wonder if it would stay a float in the water, so we decided to blow it up and find out. Af
28、ter a few hours of taking expelling the wind from our lungs, the rubber boat was finally ready to test. We took it to the pool and some enough, it did float. Immediately we began making plans to visit Alligator Island with our new means of transportation.We decided to ask Erikas brother and another
29、of our friends to come with us. Since the lake was across the street from Erikas house, we did not have to pull the raft far and soon we were on our way to the island.About halfway to A1 we began to get nervous about the possibility of alligators really being in the lake and we tried to turn around,
30、 but none of us knew how to use the paddles very well. After a fow attempts, we realized how silly we were and continued onward. When we finally did reach the small land mass, it was not anything special. Just a few trees, some dirt, and insects. But the excitement and pleasure of actually achieving
31、 our goal were al we needed.Noodless to say, we were the envy of the neighborhood for quite some time. This is my perfect childhood memory and it is something I doubt I will ever forget for as long as I live.56. According to the passage, such a memory is the most unforgettable to the author because
32、_.A. the adventure is full of dangers and risksB. the author has tried a new kind of transportationC. the author has finally realized the dream of going to the islandD. the author has been proved to be very intelligent during their adventure57.

Nothing can exceed（胜过） the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding,
36、fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. Thats up to you.A research paper, assigned in a cou
37、rse and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual（个人的） process, and an ideal learning pr
38、ocess. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you
39、 can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce
40、a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to
41、approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.61. According to the writer, personal discoveries _.A. will give one encouragemen
42、t and directionB. are helpful in finding the right informationC. are the most valuable part of ones personal educationD. will help one to successfully complete school assignments62. It can be inferred from the passage what writing a research paper gives one chances _.A. to fully develop ones persona
43、l abilitiesB. to practice the skills learnt in the classroomC. to prove that one is a productive writerD. to show how well one can accomplish school assignments63. From the context, the word “disconcerting” (Para 3) most probably means _.A. interesting B. upsettingC. challenging D. disappointing64.
44、The writer thinks that _.A. one should explore new areas in researchB. one should trust ones ability to meet course requirementsC. one should use ones knowledge and skills when doing researchD. one should consider research paper writing a pleasure, not a burden65. What will probably follow this pass
45、age?A. How to write a research paper.B. The importance of research in education.C. How to make new discoveries for oneself.D. The skill of putting pieces of information together.

47、himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(冰箱).Two hours later my friend called me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having a good meal. He had found two eggs and some cold chicken in the refrigerator. Now, he said, he was drinking and hoped I

His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Fank Lloyd Wrights beautiful, practical and useful buildings are
56、not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture.
