A

It all began as we were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, while I fixed Amanda's blonde hair. I said, “I love you, Amanda.” “And, I love you,” she replied. “Well, I love you more.” Her eyes lit up as she recognized the cue (暗示) for the start of another “I love you more” match. “Nuh-uh,” she laughed. “I love you the most.” “I love you bigger than a volcano!” I countered---a favorite family phrase in these battles of love. “But, Mom, I love you from here to China.” A country she’s learning about from our new neighbors up the street.

We volleyed back and forth a few favorite lines. “I love you more than peanut butter.” “Well, I love you more than television.” “I even love you more than bubble gum.” It was my turn again, and I made the move that usually brought victory. “I love you bigger than the universe!” On this day, however, Amanda was not going to give up. I could see she was thinking. “Mom,” she said in a quiet voice, “I love you more than myself.”

I stopped, surprised by her sincerity. Here I thought I knew more than she did. I thought I knew at least everything that she knew. But I didn’t know this. My four-year-old daughter knows more about love than her 28-year-old mom.

61. From the passage, we can know the two people _____________.ks5u

A. often quarreled with each other B. felt bored about the real life

C. were fixing each other’s hair D. loved each other deeply

62. Which is the best title for this passage?

A. I Love You More B. My Daughter Grows Up

C. Parents’ Love D. Children’s Love

B

Imagine this: your child has just been involved in an emergency (紧急事件). You call 911. The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child. But they also ask questions about your child’s medical history. It’s hard to think clearly. You begin to answer and then end up saying, “I don’t remember. I don’t know.” So, many doctors suggest that parents keep a record of their children’s important health facts handy. This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis (诊断) of a problem at a time when time really counts.

The most important information to know is the child’s allergies (过敏). It is especially crucial if the child is allergic to any medicine---penicillin, for example. Food allergies can come into play, too, so make note of those as well. Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex (胶乳) allergies. Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties.

Keep a list of any medicine, including what your child is now taking. Some medicines can cause an adverse reaction when they are taken together, so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything. You’ll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken.

It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness your child has had. These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency.

Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care, especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care, school, or a friend’s house.

63. How many types of allergies are mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

64. The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.

A. beneficial B. harmful C. physical D. emotional

65. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?

A. Everybody should learn something about first aid.

B. Children can easily develop allergies.

C. Doctors usually have difficulty saving a child in an emergency.

D. Parents should keep a record of their children’s health facts.

C

True End of an Era

SURPRISE, surprise---David Beckham is in the news again! Sure, the England football star was never one to shy away from the headlines. But this time it seems people are talking as much about what Beckham is not doing as what he is.

Beckham won’t be playing for England at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. An injury he picked up while playing for AC Milan will likely rule the 34-year-old out for four months. It could be a sad end to the career of a player who has given his all to England since his debut (首次登场) in 1996. But rather than feeling sorry for the loss, some people are finally calling for us to move on from the Beckham obsession (着迷).

“The romantic wish of him seizing the day and inspiring England to glory was poppycock (胡扯),” according to an editorial in the Guardian. It argued that Beckham is past his best and would only have played a minor role at the World Cup anyway. But you might not have guessed it from the reaction of the rest of England.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown sent Beckham a “get well soon” message, and a Scottish poet even wrote a poem about the injury, comparing Beckham to the Greek hero Achilles.

But is it possible to forget about Beckham? Over his career Beckham has embodied (体现) everything the English like to think is good about their country. Beckham was never the most naturally gifted of footballers, but he reached the top through hard work and determination. He never gave up, even when things looked hopeless. And even as a superstar, he never forgot where he came from.

For this, the English took him to their hearts. Not a day goes by without seeing Beckham’s name in the newspapers, but the reality is his fantastic career is coming to the end. Of course, it is sad that he’ll miss the World Cup, but this is a chance for England to find a new hero.

As a global icon(偶像) we will certainly miss him playing for England in South Africa this summer. But I think it’s time we finally give Beckham a break from the headlines.

Choose the best answer:

66. Which of the following may not be a result of Beckham’s injury?

A. Not being able to take part in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

B. Not being able to play for England for four months.

C. People forgetting him.

D. This injury perhaps ending his career.

67. ______ gave Beckham a negative evaluation.

A. Gordon Brown B. An editorial in the Guardian

C. A Scottish poet D. Most British people

68. Which is not the reason for it being hard for people to forget Beckham?

A. He has embodied British good characteristics and traits (特征).

B. He is one of the most naturally gifted footballers.

C. He is determined to achieve his goals. ks5u

D. He always remembers his country.

D

Antarctica is the southernmost place on Earth, and it is larger than the United Sates and 95% of it is covered with ice. The ice is 5 kilometers thick at places and it never melts. At least that is what we thought, but let us keep it that way for now.

The ice seems to be alive as it works its way towards the sea. It forms an ice shelf over the water. The edge breaks away from the shelf and falls into the sea. From here it drifts. Now big pieces of ice become icebergs that can be 160 km long. They now drift north until they finally melt and become part of the ocean. This process is part of a bigger process which in turn forms a cooling system for Earth. This is so important that no country is allowed to control this area. The treaty (agreement) signed by 12 countries at first and later joined by more, was to prevent any country harming the planet with irresponsible behavior.

The treaty basically states that:

Antarctica can be used for peaceful purposes only.

No country may build a military base there.

No country may do a nuclear test there.

No country may dump nuclear waste there.

Scientists working there will share their information.

Some other rules are there to protect the penguins and seals.

No dogs may run loose.

No planes may land near large groups of animals.

No guns, explosives, or tractors may be used near the animals.

Most important is that every member can inspect any of the other bases if he suspects that the treaty rules are being broken.

While the treaty is not foolproof(万无一失的), it does play a very important part in the protection of Antarctica. The more people realize the effects that pollution has on this continent, the bigger the pressure will be on Governments to change the way they look at pollution.

69. Why was it important to sign a treaty for Antarctica?

A. Because the ice on Antarctica will finally melt into the ocean.

B. Because Antarctica is covered with 5 kilometers thick ice.

C. Because Antarctica balances the temperature of Earth.

D. Because there are many big icebergs in Antarctica.

70. What is the process of the movement of ice in Antarctica?

A. Ice shelf---sea water---iceberg---ice.

B. Sea water---ice---iceberg---ice shelf.

C. Iceberg---ice shelf---ice---sea water.

D. Ice---ice shelf---iceberg---sea water.

71. What is included in the Antarctica treaty?

A. There is no secret research information in Antarctica.

B. Dogs are not allowed to be raised in Antarctica.

C. Waste can’t be thrown away in Antarctica.

D. People can’t bring their guns to Antarctica.
