A
I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
21. The passage shows that ______.
A. mother cared much about her daughter in words
B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
22. The underlined word “gulf” in the fourth paragraph means ______.

D. part of the sea going far in land
23. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?

B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She read the letter again and again till she died.

Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers．Most of the crashes result from distracted driving not paying attention to the road．
Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree．He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008．Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent, involved drivers aged fifteen to twenty．Ryan's father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Montgomery County, Maryland．He said, "It was an inexperienced, immature driver who felt that he was invincible(不可战胜的), driving at night with a carload of kids．He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some upsetting experiences and tragedy for the rest of the community."
Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company said "The number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone．Talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving．If you're texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't．
Reaching for a cell phone when it's going off, you're nine times more likely to get into an accident than normally driving," The insurance industry recently held a safety event near Washington for teen drivers．
At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children．He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road．Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll．
Debbie Pickford from the Allstate Insurance Company said, "Teens are especially at risk from distracted driving—and not just because they lack experience on the roads．What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they are twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”
29．According to the passage, _____is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving．
A．texting on the mobile phone B．reaching for a cell phone．
C．talking on the mobile phone D．bringing along a cell phone
30．A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to _ _.
A．attract more teenagers to take part in it
B．draw enough attention to teenagers' distracted driving
C．make more teenagers practice avoiding large barriers
D．encourage more teenagers to pay for insurance protection
31．The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ____．
A．much higher risk B．teen brain development
C．experience on the roads D．measures to be taken
32. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage?
A. Car Crashes —the Top Killer.
B. Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!
C. Drunken Driving — Dangerous Enough！
D. Tips on Driving While Calling
D
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very probably be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
33. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him____________.
A. at birth B. through education
C. neither at birth nor through education D. both at birth and through education
34. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_____________________.
A. become a genius
B. still become a genius if he should be given special education
C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D. not reach his intelligence in his life.
35. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.
A. the importance of their intelligence B. the importance of their positions
C. the role of environment on intelligence D. the part that birth plays

How to Avoid Weight Gain Over Holidays
Do you love the holidays, but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. 36 Whether you are celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, regard eating as a time for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.
Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness:
Don’t skip meals.
Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. 37
Control portions.
Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up.” 38 Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the dining table. Doing so will make it less tempting (吸引人的) to be eating constantly as your appetite is inspired by the sight of food.
Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables.
Fill up beforehand with water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.
Stick to physical activity.
39 A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off additional calories.
40 Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of dressing or butter.
A. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious food.
B. You had better turn your attention away from delicious foods.
C. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays.
D. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist.
E. Avoid high-fat foods.
F. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays.
G. You’d better remember the Dos and Don’ts for keeping fit and slim.

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 41 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 42 Christmas after all.
43 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a 44 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 45 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 46 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 47 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The 48 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 49 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 50 us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to 51 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 52 —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 53 . Our Christmas morning 54 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 55 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 56 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 57 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 58 in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 59 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 60 gesture can make a world of difference.
41. A. chance B. anxiety C. time D. ability
42. A. lonely B. free C. merry D. usual
43. A. Therefore B. However C. Somehow D.Meanwhile
44. A. sign B. knock C. card D. note

48. A. warm B. deep C. true D. mixed
49. A. rubbish B. snow C. dust D. leaves
50. A. teach B. urge C. help D. forbid
51. A. prepare B. share C. taste D. exchange
52. A. guest B. aunt C. maid D. partner
53. A. folks B. relatives C. neighbors D. colleagues
54. A. call B. greeting C. meeting D. breakfast
55. A. sorry B. eager C. grateful D. ready
56. A. season B. expense C. distance D. situation
57. A. Knowing B. Showing C. Studying D. Discovering
58. A. happy B. busy C. alone D. active

60. A. careful B. kind C. pretty D. patient
