a. to teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts. b. to indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience. c. to recall the experience of fishing. d. to tell people to create beauty and harmony.dwhat will people die of 100 years from now? if you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). with the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.in discussion of technological changes, the internet gets most of the attention these days. but the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. how long can humans live? human brains were known to decide the final death. cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. but the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. so between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. the medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.it is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.32.according to the passage, human death now mainly caused by_ .a、diseases and agingb、accidents and war c、accidents and agingd、heart disease and war33.in the authos opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in_ .a、medicineb、the internet c、brain cells d、human organ34.humans may live longer in the future because_.a、heart disease will be far away from us b、human brains can decide the final deathc、the basic materials of cells will last forever d、human organs can be repaired by new medicine35.we can learn from the passage that_ .a、human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureb、humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowc、much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifed、we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells第二节 （共五小题，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。parents are the most selfless people on earth. theyre the biggest reason for you to live on this planet. we often fail to thank their efforts, and ignore their love.36._dont wait for mothers day, fathers day to say sweet things to your parents. instead, take any chance to tell your parents how thankful youre for what theyve done for you. here are some examples:as a result of being busy in life, you often forget to call your parents and tell them how muchyou miss them.37._so tell them how much you miss them and expect to be with them when theyre not around.you know how much theyve sacrificed for achieving your wishes. although you may not have said thanks to them, you surely did so in your mind! hug them and tell themhow much you thank their efforts for giving you the best life possible. youcantpossibly give back whatever theyve done for you.38._39._ however, they still believed in you and continued to show their love on you. you wish you could go back in time and make everything right. but since that cant happen, all you can do is make an honest apology to them.theyve always been your strength to often move forwardinlife. they taught you all the small and big things about life. most of all, they taught you how to be a good person.40._a.and by the time werealizethis, its too late.b.so theyre the real superheroes in your life.c.they may often feel you dont like to keep in touch with them.d.your parents have been great role models and you always love them.e.at times, youve let your parents down and have said things that hurt them.f.however, this small act will make them feel special and mean a lot to them.g.tell them how much you admired them, seeing them go out of their way to help others.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分） across the street from where we live, there stands a big hospital. to earn some money, we rented the rooms upstairs to patients. one evening, there was a(n)41at the door.1 opened it and saw a short old man who was hardly42than my eight-year-old son. but the worst thing was his face-it was43ugly. he told me hed been44a room since that noon but no one seemed to have one. for a moment i hesitated, not45to rent him a room, but his next words convinced me. he said, “i could46on this chair. my bus leaves early in the morning. i told him we would find him a47. itwasnt a long time before i found that this old man had a48heart in that tiny body.he fished for a living to49his daughter, his daughters children, and her disabled husband. hedidnt tell it by way of complaint. instead, he was50that no pain was caused by his diseaseand that he still had strength to keep going. at51,we put a camp cot（吊床）in my childrensroom for him.52he left the next morning, he asked, “could i please come back and53when i see the doctor next time?
