Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body moved the salvage (救援) workers so much that they called him “our baby.” In their hom
27、e port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the babys grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since. But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Fi
28、nland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Sch
29、leifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. We thought they were all lost in the sea, says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces
30、 taken from the babys grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no ne
31、ed for a new grave. He belongs to the people of Halifax, says Schleifer. Theyve taken care of him for 90 years. Adapted from People, November 25, 200256.

33、C. people found out who the unknown baby was D. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years B It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I dont r
34、emember ever smiling so wide. Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package. The cost of Dream Schools tuition（学费）, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition?
35、My other choices were good, solid schools even if they werent as famous as my first choice. In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial pr
36、oblem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasnt sure what to do. One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and at
37、tend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself. At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus （校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free f
38、ood would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great
39、programs. It seemed challenging yet caring. As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there. In all
40、 honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me. 60. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter? A. He was full of joy. B. He was lost in his dream. C. He was worried about the money. D. He was unce
41、rtain which school to go to. 61. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _. A. honest B. strict C. supportive D. decisive62. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “_”. A. would pay for transport to the school B. would show me around the campus C. would offer free me
42、als at all events D. would charge me nothing for tuition 63. What does the author mainly want to say? A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit. B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools. C. You should try your best to attend your dream school. D. Your choice of scho
43、ols should be based on their fame. C When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, be
44、tter appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness, says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. So it can help save on the wear and tear on .our system and allow people to feel more energetic. So when someone has hurt you, calm yo
45、urself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing, says Dr. Luskin. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see
46、things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn t
47、o look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person s perspective 视角). You may realize that he or she-was acting out of ignorance (无知) , fear - even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person s point of vie
48、w.64. The text is mainly written to explain _. A. how to keep yourself from being hurt B. how to stay mentally healthy C. how and when to remain calm D. why and how to pardon others 65. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt? A. Try to figure out why you get hur
49、t. B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you. C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you. D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt. 66. Dr.Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _ . A. we are not patient enough B. wed feel worse acce
50、pting others apology C. people seldom want to apologize D. people don t mean it when they apologize D Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part real
51、ize the cruelty and destruction. The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their he
52、alth and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to s
53、timulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious
54、condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great ma
55、jority of people. Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound a
56、n animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.67. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting-because_. A. they have little
57、 knowledge of it B. it helps to build human character C. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife D. they want to keep wildlife under control68.

58、h at school actually_ . A. teach them how to deal with guns safely B. praise hunting as character-building C. describe hunting as an exercise D. encourage them to have guns of their own70. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_. A. blame the majority of people B. worry about the
59、existence of wildlife C. be in favor of war D. be in support of character-buildingE“Soon, youre going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $ 1.25 in the spring, has alrea
60、dy taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work, As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushe
61、s must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available (可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even mor
62、e perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First,
63、I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, p0ick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tom
64、atoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured ro
