E
Some time ago during my vacation period, I traveled to Europe to tour the various parts of France.Our tour group was made up of forty—five travelers from different countries.My three friends and I made up the Canadian team on the bus.
As time passed we got to know each Other better and in some ways the new friendships that grew became as valuable and as memorable as the trip itself.
On the last day of the tour we were traveling through the peaceful French countryside when our guide came on the microphone.He said,“We are presently passing through World War I battlefields just south of Vimy Ridge.If you look to your right, just across the field there, you will see the war memorial that the people of France built to the Canadian soldiers who fought so bravely here.Even today some residents from the surrounding towns place flowers on the memorial regularly.My dear Canadian friends at the back of the bus, I would like to say thank you for the unselfish acts of your Canadian soldiers.”
Across the grassy field, the stone monument stood proud against the French sky.A Canadian flag rippled softly in the calm breeze.Lost in the moment, I could imagine the sights and sounds of war.Suddenly an unexpected wave of emotion swept over me.I felt great sadness for those men who never returned home to Canada, but at the same time my heart was filled with an enormous sense of pride.Tears welled up in my eyes.I was embarrassed by my uncontrolled reaction.As I turned around I realized that each of my friends had experienced the same feelings, their eyes also wet with tears.
72.From the passage we know the writer was traveling in Europe with    .
A.only his Canadian friends                 B.his foreign classmates

“You know.Mitch,now that I"m dying,I"ve become much more interesting to people.I’m
on the last great journey here——and people want me to tell them what to pack.”
The phone rang again.

“I’m visiting with my old friend now,”he announced.“Let them call back.”

“Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked
“Are you at peace with yourself?”
“Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”
I felt ashamed,wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions.What
happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money,that I would join the
Peace Corps,and that 1 would live in beautiful,inspirational places.
Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years,at the same workplace,using the same bank,visiting the same barber I was thirty-seven,more mature than in college,tied to computers and modems and cell phones.I was no longer young,nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with
unlit cigarettes in my mouth.I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life.
My days were full,yet I remained,much of the time,unsatisfied

Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people,   71 .
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”.In all cases,two people like one another and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet,and on good first impressions. As we
get to know people,   72  . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance,it is more
difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then,   73 .Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare,and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs,the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become.the more they depend on each other. And   74  . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits,and to accept differences in opinion.
In contrast with marriage,   75  . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship
A.we are usually friends with only a few
B.many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C.people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D.argument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E.we consider things like age,race,looks,economic and social status,etc
F.we pay attention to actual behavior,facial expression,and the way a person speaks
G.there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people

For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed  36  clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments  37  all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents,  38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life  39  smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into  40  arguments with my older and wiser parents. The   41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears  42  to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them.   43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d  44  a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker,   45  slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to  46  what I had said was true,  47  this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of   48  . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be  49  in my family again.
Hugs will  50  be her trademark(标志): warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to  51  your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable  52  to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head,   53  fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can  be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so  54  . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite  55 .

37.A.on        B.for       C.in      D.about
38.A.prepared   B.taken     C.spent D.enjoyed
39.A.advancing B.changing   C.running    D.developing
40.A.unfit     B.casual       C.unfair       D.silly
41.A.quarrels    B.doubts      C.complaints       D.puzzles
42.A.dry      B.go        C.well  D.take
43.A.Crying     B.Blaming   C.Shaking    D.Whispering

B
The man traveling in the back of the ambulance which was running at a high speed along the streets of Baltimore that morning in 2008 had no business to be alive.By everything that was reasonable,and there were plenty of such things before,he should have been very dead indeed.But he wasn’t.As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him,he was only slightly hurt.Yet he had just fallen 150 feet down a hotel lift shaft(电梯通道)!
Unknown to the man,two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day.On the thirteenth f1oor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open.Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and,it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet.
Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents,but this was ancient equipment unreliable,slow,dangerous,and suitable material to recycle.
The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.
Good! The life gate was open. The life must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy life made its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cage was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.
The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash!
Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.
59.What do we learn about the man?
A.He fell from the 13th floor.       B.He was hit by an ambulance.
C.He got caught in a serious flood.  D.He made a record for high-diving.
60.By “……had no business to be alive”,the writer means that the man_______.
A.had missed his business appointment      B.was alive with excitement
C.was alive and this was surprising       D.didn’t do any business
61.Tile lift did not have a fail-safe system because it was____________.
A.narrow     B.slow  C.1arge D.old
62.Which of the following was NOT the cause of the accident?
A.A pipe burst.                  B.The man overslept
C.The hotel forgot to call him      D.Someone left the lift door open
