20、onal (理性的) about their children? No. Parents arent rational because 36 isnt rational. Young people can understand this about romantic love, but they find it hard to 37 this element (元素) in parental love. My eldest daughters 38 the other day brought this up. “Let me ask you something, Dad,” she began
21、 in a tone of patiently controlled 39 that every experienced parent knows. “I sailed around the Mediterranean in a yacht (游艇) when I was seventeen,” she said. “I hiked through the Pyrenees from Spain to Paris. Ive done rock climbing and deep-sea diving and slept in rainforests in the jungle of Indon
22、esia. Right?” “Right,” I said, “So 40 ?” “So this,” she went on. “When I go to the corner drugstore to pick up some shampoo, why do you always tell me to be 41 when I cross the street?” There is no 42 answer a parent can give to this. All I could mumble (嘟囔) in 43 was that when I was 50, my mother w

29、nto the unknown, and it changed the history of space exploration forever. The first-ever spacewalk by former Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, 50 years ago on March 18, was also the first big test of space suit technology. The old Soviet-style space suit was not quite ready yet, however. It was affect
30、ed by the lack of atmospheric (大气的) pressure in space. When Leonov had completed his space walk, he realized that his space suit “had inflated (膨胀) like a balloon, preventing him from getting back inside the spacecraft”, according to the BBC. The cosmonaut let half of the air out of his spacesuit an
31、d survived despite losing oxygen. Nowadays, of course, this type of incident does not happen. But the problem of what to wear in space is still important, as space travel may soon be available to more people than ever. In 2017, Space X and Boeing may become the first private companies to put people
32、in space. What should the new, rich space travelers wear? Well, their outfits (服装) wont be like the white, boxy suits in the film Gravity. Those types of extra-vehicular (飞船外的) activity (EVA) suits will be for professionals working outside a spacecraft. The average space traveler will instead need s
33、omething to wear inside in case of an emergency when getting up and down again in a rocket or during docking. These are called IVA (intra-vehicular activity) pressure suits, which should be effective, comfortable, and perhaps even fashionable. The best-known example is the orange “pumpkin suit” made
34、 famous by NASA, but more fashionable options may later be available. In fact, fashion and space have been together for years. The first space suits for the Apollo moon program were built by Playtex, an underwear maker, and the company still works with NASA. Nowadays in Brooklyn, New York there is a
35、 company called Final Frontier Design that makes the latest in space suit technology. All of their staff have backgrounds in show business (演艺界), making Broadway musical and circus (马戏团) costumes. They are currently looking to introduce their space tech, like vibrating (振动的) belts that can give dire
36、ctions by feel, to people on Earth. The walk into unknown space fashion is just beginning. How would you show off in space?56. According to the article, todays space travelers have different experiences to that of Alexei Leonov because _.A. they have to perform space walks for long periodsB. todays
37、space suits are much safer and more convenientC. they are provided with extra oxygen to survive in spaceD. they can wear their own outfits on space missions57. The phrase “this type of incident” in Paragraph 3 refers to situations in which astronauts _.A. fail their space walk missionsB. put on the
38、wrong space suitC. have trouble with their space suitsD. forget the correct operating procedures58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the space suits that will be made for private companies space travelers in the near future?A. They will be intended for tough working conditions outside
39、 a spacecraft.B. They will have to be orange.C. They will be very heavy and expensive despite their fashionable look.D. They will be created with the help of artists and designers.59.What is the best title of the passage?A. Fashion comes to space.B. Space travel exploration becomes more popular.C. W
40、hat happened to Alexei Leonov 50 years ago?D. How space suits work?B WHEN my brother Joe was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up an
41、d saw my mother watching us. She was crying. “Hes blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.” I looked at Joe. He was laughing. “He cant be blind,” I said. “He smiles at my face.” “He smiles at your voice,” she said. “Hell never see your face.” That was that. Joe was blind. Mama went back to cooki
42、ng. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joe boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille. When he was 16, the school said hed learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apa
43、rtment 30 miles (48 km) away. He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry, and do almost anything else he needed. Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joe called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.” They shared 10 good years before he lost
44、 her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our mother, who was his champion, and our stepfather, who was Joes best friend. What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother clung with an iron fist (拳头) to three gifts: Faith, hope and love. His faith grew stronger. He always had h
45、ope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite death or disappointment. Loved ones leave, but love remains. The years ahead may prove to be his hardest. His legs are growing weaker, threatening to take away the independence hes fought so hard to keep. My sister and I often wonder
46、what will happen if Joe cant live on his own. Its not up to us. Well do what we can, but its his life. He wont have it any other way. You dont find strength to do something until its time to do it. Joe has found it whenever he has needed it. I believe he will again.60. When the authors mother brough
47、t her little brother Joe back from the hospital, the author _.A. was sad because he couldnt see things clearlyB. immediately introduced him to the family dogC. worried that he might steal her mothers love from herD. had great fun playing a game with him61. Which of the following order of events is C
48、ORRECT according to the article?a. Joe started learning Braille at a school for the deaf and the blind.b. Joe moved out to live independently and learned to cook and clean.c. Joe was sent back home with his Braille typewriter.d. Joe had a hard time when he lost three beloved family members.e. Joe fe
49、ll in love with a blind girl the first time they met.A. abedc B. acbed C. acebd D. aecbd62. What is the key message the author wants to convey(表达) through the article?A. People have to spend more time with their loved ones.B. The disabled deserve our respect and support so that they can live an inde
50、pendent life.C. Love, hope and determination can keep a man going despite hardship.D. People should learn to get over the loss of their loved ones as love always remains.C Christmas is long gone and Valentines Day is a distant memory. That means its a slow timefor jewelers, and a good time for you t
51、o make a purchase. Whether youre out shopping for gold, or silver, here are a few things you need to know:What determines price? The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have thei
52、r own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l8K. Anything over l8K is really too soft for everyday wear. Thats why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K. How much can you expect to pay? That de
53、pends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:How long has the company been around?What is its return policy? Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all dir
54、ections? Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?Yellow gold? White? Rose? Yes, its confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you
55、 want the “look for less”, consider gold plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or
56、two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best. What about sterling silver(标准纯银)? Sterling silver has been an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much mor
57、e mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver-something you used to see only with gold. Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Dont buy it if there isnt a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price youre pa
58、ying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box. 63. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”. A. being charged B. being affected C. being chea
59、ted D. being attracted64. Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time? A. A 14K necklace. B. A gold-plated ring. C. A gemstone necklace. D. A vermeil earring. 65. We can infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept _ A. in a cold place B. in a dry plac
60、e C. in a wet place D. in a hot place66. The author writes the passage mainly to _. A. encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry B. tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver C. introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver D. inform people of the factors to consider
61、in buying jewelryDIn the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a numb
62、er of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.New lineages for custo
63、mer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest(投资) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage(愤怒)”caused by delays in answering calls ,
64、being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School, “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good
65、relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying
66、 that a repair will be come out within five hours, but getting it done within two ); replacing a faulty product immediately: throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼券) as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is al
67、l very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,” I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (r
68、eplacement, compensation or whatever suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused b
69、y weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The
70、 company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen. British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of servic
71、e.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.67. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. well-treated customers promote businessB. u
72、nsatisfied customers receive better serviceC. Satisfied customers catch more attention D. complaining customers are hard to satisfy68. The writer mentions “phone rage” (Paragraph 3) to show that .A. customers often use phones to express their anger B. Customer care becomes more demanding C. people s
73、till prefer to buy goods onlineD. customers rely on their phones to obtain services 69. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he probably say?A. “Im sorry for the delay.” B. “I appreciate your understanding.”C. “I know how upset you must be.” D. “I know its our fault.”70. Whi
74、ch of the following is conveyed in this article?A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.B. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.C. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.D. Customer delight is more important for air

Instead, try to limit it to the ten most important rules. Ive seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a

86、r children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children.

Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do. I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with
89、children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work.【写作内容】 你将参加一场主题辩论会，主题为“父母该为孩子的行为习惯负责吗?”参赛前，你要查阅相关资料，并准备

93、heir children and give proper instructions. We know it is important for children to develop good habits. So it is disappointing and sad to see some children around us showing bad habits. As far as I am concerned, parents should be responsible for helping children develop good habits. The reasons are
94、 as follows. To start with, it is commonly held that parents are the first teachers of their children. The children adopt many ways and thoughts of their parents as they are growing. Whats more, parents duties include not only providing food and clothing, but also knowledge and common sense required to go on well in society.Therefore, I hope parents can spend more time staying with their children, giving proper guidance to their children. Meanwhile, parents should mind their words and acts, setting a good example to their children.
