Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before a
22、nd hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone! ”Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few ho
23、urs later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. When I came home I found a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”. When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were ex
24、tensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced (穿透)a lung.”My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words:
25、Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day? It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy I am so sorry.”“Its okay
26、, sweetheart. Ill be okay.”“No, ”I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning? ”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kiss
27、ing you goodnight the night before, though.”He managed a weak smile. My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on. 51. The author was in bad mood that
28、morning because _.

31、all things.BAnyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录)of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education. Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college grad
32、uate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W.W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing
33、had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing. Tyler became well-known in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of
34、Robert Hutchins. Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for twelve years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent (独立的)spirit in their work. Although Tyler officially retired in
35、 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标)that develop the best teaching and learning within their schoo
36、ls. 55. Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tylers memoir? A. Top managers.B. Language learners.C. Serious educatorsD. Science organizations. 56. The words “hooked on teaching”underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean _. A. attracted to teachingB. tired of teachingC. satisfied with teachingD.
37、 unhappy about teaching 57. Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for more than 10 years? A. The University of Chicago.B. Stanford University.C. Ohio State University.D.

38、 testingB. he called for free spirit in researchC. he still led the Eight-Year StudyD. he was still active in giving adviceCThe right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and youll agree that the name and the pro
39、duct are connected in everyones mind. In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot make a product that looks like another. People might think that they were buying one product and, in fact, be buying something different. Businesses r
40、egister a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have pow
41、erful associations. The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong. When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft d
42、rink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mou
43、th”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies t
44、hat specialize in inventing product names. These companies can charge up to $ 100,000 a word for their creations. But its worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development. 59. Why are trade names protected by law in many countries? A. To make companie
45、s pay for naming service.B. To help people choose the best products.C. To present good images of the products.D. To prevent products from being copied. 60. What can we learn from the passage? A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.B. Creative trade names can help companies
46、to have a larger sale.C. The government often does business with naming companies.D. It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals. 61. Whats the best title for the passage? A. The Business of NamesB. The Development of NamesC. The Rules of Naming BusinessD. The Methods of Choosing N
47、amesDLove of the SeaMy love affair with the sea began when I was no more than six years old, walking along the sandy beaches. I always wanted to make the first set of footprints in the wet sand. Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the seas surface in a wo
48、rld I could only imagine and dream of. Soon, wearing a snorkel and a mask, I made my first solo adventures in the deep. Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, in San Diego, asking how I might
49、learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their cruises that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he was asking me what my
50、plans were and where I expected to attend college. I told him I didnt know, so he suggested I consider his school, the University of California in Santa Barbara. Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could ab
51、out the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totall
52、y dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world. I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, meteorology, geology, biology, and many other things. While I was in school, I took a little of everything. I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to
53、 be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didnt want that to happen. In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on expeditions so that we could explore the wonders of the deep. Finall
54、y, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come. 62. In Paragraph 5, the writer discusses “the laws of the physical world.”Which of the following is an example of one of th
55、e laws? A. Water pressure.B. Various ocean animal life.C. The appearance of the water.D. The different colors of the ocean. 63. In college, the writer took many different types of courses because he _. A. was not sure what he wanted to studyB. was advised to take them by Dr. Robert NorrisC. believed
56、 it would help him succeed in the NavyD. thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean 64. The writer joined the Navy to _.

57、uld the writer recommend to students who want to be underwater explorers? A. Spend time examining your talents.B. Join groups to learn to get along on a team.C. Interview explorers to see if they are happy.D. Study as many ocean-related topics as you can.第二节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,共7.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白
