Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young,I have friends whose mothers have passed away.I have heard these sons and daughters say they never  2 1  appreciatedtheir mothers until it was too  22 to tell them.
I am  23 with the dear mother who is still allve.I appreciate her  24 each day.My mother does not  25 ,but I do.  26   I grow older and wiser.Irealize what a(n)  27 person she is.How sad that I alil    28  to speak thesewords in her presence,29 they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for giving her llfe I  30’ For the love,patience and just plain hard work that go into  3 l  a child? For32 a toddler,for understanding a moody teenager,for tolerating a college student who thinks she knows  33? For waiting for the day  34  a daughter realizes her mother really is?
How does a    35   wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother?For being ready with advice (when asked ) or  36  silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I 37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of  38   ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how,dear God,except to bless her as richly as she  39 and to help me live up to the example she has set.I pray that 1 will look as good in the eyes of my  40  as my mother looks in mine.

36.D  A、B、C都是及物動詞,后面不跟形容詞,故排除;而remain是系動詞,符合意思。
37.B此處表示:感謝她沒有說:“我告訴過你,”而她本來可以說上許多次,這里強調(diào)母親對孩子的耐心。
38.A根據(jù)上下文可以判斷。
39.C句意:我不知道該怎樣來表達,親愛的上帝,除了請求你好好地保佑她——那是她該得到的——并幫助我朝她做出的榜樣看齊。

Some say everyday miracles(奇跡) are predestined(注定的)----the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(換班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened."

Penny Brown.

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲).It was just standing there, with father standing on one side , and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger” Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father.With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling.I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now...I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old.We differ in our ways of thinking.He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me.Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind.My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company.When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing.Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.I can’t stand his outrageous(蠻橫的)words: “I can’t throw you away, let alone these old papers ?”
All the lights were off except father’s.
Dad was always like this.Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself.After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on.“Am I wrong?” I whispered ,maybe...With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last, I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.Love—it second to none.
小題1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a.I opened the door and entered the house.
b.Sadly I ran out into the street.
c.I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d.I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e.I walked about in the street without any aim.
A.b,e,d,c,aB.b,e,c,d,aC.b,e,a,c,dD.b,e,c,a,d
小題2:What made the writer think of his childhood ?
A.The sight of the street lights.
B.The sight of the empty street.
C.The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D.The sight of light in his own house.
小題3:Why do you think the father often shouts at his son ?
A.perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B.perhaps the son has already grown up.
C.perhaps they never agree with each other.
D.perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
小題4:What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage ?
A.The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B.The father is actually kind to his son.
C.The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D.The father is always finding fault with his son.

“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain.A roaring sound filled my ears.I tried to slide beneath my desk.The desk did a wild tap dance,slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room.I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me,somehow kicking free of my dancing chair.I tried to stand.My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook,grasped and held the windowsill tightly.Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal.I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare.Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room,surrounded by chairs and desks.One girl was screaming.A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die.I’m going to die.Save me,I’m not ready to die,I’m not ready!”
