David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的)clothes. I had often   43   what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   44   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David   45 . I can still remember he was always   46   a smile and willing to help. He always   47   after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked much. He   48  just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly   49   home.

Weeks passed and the   50   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(骚动不安)until the last day of   51  before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them   52  out of the door. Turning around, I saw David   53  standing by my desk.

“I have something for you,” he said and  54   from behind his back a small box.   55  it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my   56   saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s   57  .”

“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David, “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”

Tears filled my eyes   58   I looked at the proud dirty face that I had   59  paid attention to. I never forget the meaning   60   the little empty box set on my desk. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends.

Every year mobile phones develop. Imagining what they will look like and be able to do in 2020 is really a challenge. To help, experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have become reality by then.

Our phones will be so smart in 10 years’ time that they’ll know everything about our situation and warn us when something needs our attention. This is the top prediction of both Nokia and Google. They predict that our cars and home appliances will be able to communicate with our mobile. For example, fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way back from work. While driving, your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because there’s a road accident up ahead.

The second trend is in gesture-based controls. People who know the iPhone’s touch --- sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology. It translates hand movements into actions on-screen. But gestural communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads. According to industry insiders, the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice recognition. It’s believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications. It is quicker to speak than type. Eventually, phone screens will disappear.

The third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone. From a single phone, the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras, music players and game consoles. The prediction is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these --- cameras, music players and game consoles --- will be wirelessly connected. Mobile phones won’t need to contain these devices because users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones.

61. The first paragraph serves as          .

A. a lead-in     B. a conclusion C. a summary   D. a supporting fact

62. Which of the following is most likely to be the appearance of a mobile phone in 2020?

63. From the text, we can learn that the future mobile phones will          .

A. drive cars for us

B. be controlled by the users’ voices

C. be controlled by home appliances

D. be very big together with separated multiple parts

64. The text mainly tells us          .

A. three major trends of mobile phones

B. what mobile phones will look like in 2020

C. the future mobile phones are gesture-based

D. some new functions of the present mobile phones

65. The writer’s attitude towards the development of mobile phone is _______.

A. worried  B. positive   C. concerned  D. nervous

B

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.

Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."

But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.

"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

66. The passage is mainly about _______.

A. a new medical invention              B. a new research on the pill

C. a way of wiping out painful memories   D. an argument about the research on the pill

67. The drug tested on people can _______.

A. cause the brain to fix memories          B. stop people remembering bad experiences

C. prevent body producing certain chemicals  D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories

68. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. people doubt the effects of the pills

B. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories

C. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health

D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America

69. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?

A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.

B. People want to get rid of bad memories.

C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.

D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.

70. You may probably read the passage in _______.

A. a guidebook     B. a textbook      C. a medical magazine   D. a science fiction

Studying Abroad

Nowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China. Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.

As every coin has two sides, studying abroad is not an exception(例外). There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second-language than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first-rate facilities (设备) available. In this way, there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.

Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.

Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.
