11、d. That man saved my belief in the kindness of people, and he saved my belief that one can find what means something in life. I see my shell every day, and I know that I can 31 bad days because there are good things in my life. In the end, all that we have is 32 we have done for others. The shell is

12、 33 to me, as important as another man who returned to the plane to 34 me my lost jacket.

17、 man had made his job important by making good memories for all his customers.A month later the store manager called me. He said, “Barbara, you wont believe what happened today. When I was making my rounds, I found Johnnys line was three times longer than anyone elses! So I got more cashiers (收银员) o

23、 1865 that two Frenchmen were looking into the future. Edouard de Laboulaye, who studied history, admired the United States greatly. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a famous artist. De Laboulaye was thinking about 1876, when the country he respected so much would celebrate its 100th birthday. What gi

24、ft would be good enough for the people of France to give? Right away, Bartholdi thought of a giant statue.Bartholdi kept thinking about a statue for several years. Then, in 1871, he visited the United States and saw the perfect place for a huge statue. It was Bedloes Island in New York.The project t

25、he Statue of Liberty got started almost immediately, and Bartholdi went home to France to begin work. However, the statue was not finished in time for the 100th birthday. The United States Congress approved (批准) the use of Bedloes Island on February 22, 1877. During the 100th celebration in 1876, th

26、e arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia. In 1879 the huge head was put on display in France. For the face of the statue, Bartholdi used his mother as a model. The statue was finally completed in 1884. The work had been difficult enough, but then some really hard work

27、began. The statue had to be taken apart and packed into boxes. It was not until May 1885 that the statue in pieces left France for its new home.The statue arrived in June. However, the Americans fell behind on their part of the project. They hadnt raised enough money for building the base of the sta

28、tue. People wondered if the country really needed or wanted such a gift. Finally, though, the money was raised and the base was completed.

James Martian, Age 9AlaskaRoyal Fashion DesignerMy dream job is to sew dresses for a queen. I could make whatever design I wanted. Her breakfast dress would be blue and long. H

33、er lunch dress is purple and medium. Her dinner dress is red and short. They would all have sparkles (闪烁的光). I think they would be pretty. I like my dream job. Jenna Suchyta, Age 6 WashingtonA “PoliceLawFireman”When I grow up, I want to be a policeman or a fireman or a lawyer because they help peopl

38、m!There may be telepathy helmets (心灵感应帽) that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of

39、 it will be artificial made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.The future hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give y

40、ou almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer (驾驶). Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to

41、 get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that wont even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home. But maybe the most wonderful surpris

42、e in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes (圆顶罩) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you wont have to worry about rain.

46、_.A. optimisticB. pessimisticC. satisfiedD. doubtfulE Like cats, geckos (壁虎) always land on their feet. If they happen to fall from a wall or leaf theyve been climbing, a quick move of the tail makes sure that they land feet first.Geckos are truly built for climbing: their special feet have hairy to

47、es fixed to a wall or other vertical (垂直的) surface in just a few thousandths of a second. This lets geckos run 15 body lengths up a vertical surface in just one second.Researchers had thought this was all the equipment geckos needed to keep their feet firmly on the wall. But it turns out thats not t

48、he case. A geckos long tail becomes necessary to stay wall-bound when its feet move on a slippery surface, and also if its feet cant keep hold.The researchers noticed that when geckos fell or jumped off a wall, they always landed stomach-side down regardless of whether they began falling upside-down

49、 (颠倒地).To find out how they righted themselves during their falling, the researchers conducted an experiment by placing the geckos upside-down on what looks like the underside of a leaf. When they lost their foothold and fell, the geckos moved their tails so that they were at a right angle with thei

50、r bodies. They then rotated (使旋转) their tails to make their bodies rotate. As soon as they were right-side up, they stopped rotating. On average, it only took the geckos about 100 milliseconds to right themselves so that they would land on their feet.Cats use a different way to land on their feet af

51、ter a fall. Because their tails dont have the force as a gecko does, cats cant use them to right themselves. Instead they twist (扭曲) their bodies in mid-air.Some engineers are trying to build a robot that copies the geckos climbing and have a tail fixed on the robot for balance.51. The underlined wo

52、rd “this” (in Paragraph 3) refers to “_”.A. geckos hair B. geckos tail C. geckos body D. geckos toe52. According to the experiment conducted by the researchers, whats the real use of the geckos tails during their falling?A. Making the geckos rotating.B. Stopping the geckos falling.C. Stopping their

53、falling upside-down.D. Keeping them falling slowly.53. How do cats avoid their injury during a fall?A. By keeping their balance.B. By landing their bodies upside-down.C. By using tails to right themselves.D. By twisting their bodies.54. Geckos special skill gives engineers some new idea to _.A. prod

54、uce more robotsB. invent robots twisted on the groundC. invent robots that can keep balance with a tailD. let robot climb walls55. This passage is mainly written to tell us _.A. about the living habits of geckosB. how geckos use their tails to land on their feetC. why geckos drop from trees or wallsD. how geckos control their climbing on the wall第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Dear Editor,Im writing to talk the construction project which is 56. _gone o
