17、、 阅读理解AMy idea of perfect childhood memory is one in which the person remembers the event clearly as if it happened yesterday and remembers it as being a happy time. Of all my memories I have one that I would consider a perfect childhood memory.In my neighborhood there is a large lake with a small i
18、sland 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 were removed to live on the island and in the surrounding lake.One day when I was about 10 year
19、s 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. After a few hours of taking expelling the wind from our lungs, the rubber boat was finally ready
20、 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 of our friends to come with us. Since the lake was across the street from Erikas house, we did
21、 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, but none of us knew how to use the paddles very well. After a fow attempts, we realized how s
22、illy 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 our goal were al we needed.Noodless to say, we were the envy of the neighborhood for quite so
23、me 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 _.A. the adventure is full of dangers and risksB. the author has tried a new kind of transport
24、ationC. the author has finally realized the dream of going to the islandD. the author has been proved to be very intelligent during their adventure57. What is the authors feeling about their adventure to the island?A. Fearful.B. Regretful.C. Happy.D. Guilty.58. The island is called Alligator Island

27、st personal. 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, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters
28、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 course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyon
29、d 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 process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge an
30、d 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 can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in se
31、arching 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 a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the tho
32、ught 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 approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstac
33、le 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 encouragement and directionB. are helpful in finding the right informationC. are the most valuable part of
34、 ones personal educationD. will help one to successfully complete school assignments62.

35、ve 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. The writer thinks that _.A. one should explore new areas in researchB. one should trust ones a
36、bility 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 passage?A. How to write a research paper.B. The importance of research in education.C. How to make
37、 new discoveries for oneself.D. The skill of putting pieces of information together.

38、aining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat(门前的擦鞋棕垫).

39、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.
