25、佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑A When my father was dying, I traveled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. It was far more heartbreaking than Id expected, one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment. There were so many things to
26、 deal with. It all seemed endless. I was lonely. I hated the silence of the apartment. But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish.
27、 He ate it and then almost immediately fell sleep. The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been abandoned by his owner whod moved out. So the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the apartment, I tried to figure out what to do with him.
28、Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the apartment door he came running and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he had no intention of going anywhere. I started calling him Willis, in honor of my fathers best frie
29、nd. From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap time seemed to pass much more quickly. When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him. Its now been five years since my father died. Over the y
30、ears, several people commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater. 56. When the author first saw the cat, she _. A. was very happyB. felt sympathy for himC. didnt know what to doD. was very a
31、ngry with his crying57. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph implies that the author _. A. needed something to fill the empty apartmentB. was too busy and tired to keep a catC. loved to stay alone in the apartmentD. needed something to take care of to kill time58. The cat rescued the autho
32、r by _. A. making her feel better in her hard timesB. giving her courage to go on with her lifeC. helping her tidy the apartmentD. telling her what life is59. We can learn from the passage that _. A. Willis was named after his previous ownerB. Willis didnt like staying in the apartmentC. the author
33、and Willis were both homelessD. time passed quickly after the author adopted Willis B In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间)mirrors(反映) the real world. People ask forinformation , play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others lookfor friendship, or even love.Unlike the real
34、 world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on acomputer screen. Identity（身份） and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, apersons thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyestperson can become a chat-room star.Usually, this
35、“ faceless” communication doesnt create problems. Identity doesnt reallymatter when you are in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis onthe idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else canso many people come together to chat?Some
36、Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking forserious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears. Supporters of online relationships claim that the
37、Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first. Personal appearance doesnt get in the way.But critics(批评者) of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how othersview them. Internet
38、users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want togive. And they dont have to worry about what their non-verbal communication is doing fortheir image. In a sense, theyre not really themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationshipstays in cyberspace. But not knowing a pe
39、rson is a big problem in a love relationship. With somany unknowns, its easy to let ones imagination “fall in the blanks”. This surely leads todisappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is oftenquite different from the real person.So before looking for love in
40、cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneerClifford Stoll, “Life in the real world is far richer than anything youll find on a computerscreen.”60. Which would the critics of online relationships most probably disagree to? A. Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.B. Internet user
41、s can choose words to create any image they like. C. The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are. D. In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves.61. Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what really accounts is a persons_. A. non-verbal communication B.
42、 thoughts typed on the screen C. knowledge and appearance D. identity shown in the chat 62. The underlined word “This” (Paragraph 6) refers to_. A. imagining online friends with so many unknowns. B. forming personal relationship in cyberspace. C. having exciting conversations online.D. knowing a per
