38 . I would inwardly squirm(局促不安) at the unwanted attention. But as we started out, he always said,
“You set the pace. I will try to adjust to(适应)you.”
Our usual walk was to and from the
subway, 39 was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and, 40 bad weather, he always never 41 a

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, 42 with help. 43 my sister or I would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh(雪橇)to the subway entrance.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, 44 did he show any envy of the more fortunate one or able. What he 45 in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard 46 which to judge people, 47 I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have 48 myself.

He had been 52 many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness 53 with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I get unhappy with something unimportant, when I am envious of another’s good 54 , when I don’t have a “good heart”. On these occasions I put my hand on his arm to 55 my balance, and say, “ You set the pace. I’ll try to adjust to you.

A
Have you ever heard the old saying “Never judge a book by its cover”?
This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. When he speaks, he may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make mistakes of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anyone else. Other people may feel fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class might make a favorable impression o his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this ---- you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.
56．The best title of this passage is _____.
A．Judging a Book B．Judging Intelligence
C．Judging a Young Man D．Judging a Student

A．judge a book by its cover B．make the mistake of thinking a young ma stupid
C．overestimate a student’s intelligence D．judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance
B
Protecting the heart, warding off cancer, easing the pain of arthritis(关节炎)--- the list of Vietami E’s possible benefits keeps getting longer. Now, because of two new studies , some researchers say the nutrient is so critical for older people that everyone over 654 should consider taking a daily supplement
The latest finding comes from nutrition and immunology(免疫学) respected; Vitamin E boosts the immune system in older people. In an eight-month study of 88 seniors, the scientists found that those taking at least 200 international units of Vitamin E daily had stronger immune responses than those taking little or none. The Turfs research follows a national study that found Vitamin E delays the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers tracked 341 moderately senile patients. Those who popped 2000 IU of Vitamin E took even seven months longer to reach an advanced stage of the disease.
Rangit Kumar Chandra, a Vitamin E researcher at Memorial University of Newfoundland , Canada, says more studies are needed to learn who can benefit most and at what dose. Vitamin E this the blood, so high doses can cause bleeding in people who also take blood thinning drugs, even aspirin. Individuals with serious conditions should consult their doctors. But most people over 65, Chandra says, can take up to 200 IU with no side effects and great benefits.
60．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．People will be in perfect health if they take Vitamin E every day.
B．Study showed that people who took Vitamin E regained their flexibility.
C．Vitamin E offers a range of advantage if old people take proper dose of Vitamin E every day
D．Vitamin E may help prevent Alzheimer’s.
61．Which of the following is Not true?
A．People taking 200 IU got bigger immune defenses than the ones who got only 60 IU.

63．What can you infer from the passage is ____.
A．Extremely high dose of Vitamin E can cause danger.
B．With proper dose of Vitamin old people could be safer from infectious disease.
C．Researchers have proved that Vitamin E has no side effects.
D．Individuals with serious conditions should consult their doctors.

The largest shark known to us, Megalodon, is extinct(绝种的). Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon, commonly known as Megalodon is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide. Fairly recently , there has been some speculation about whether it is extinct or just out of reach. Some people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean. There are many known “Living Fossils(化石)”:Coelacanth, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Urchins, Lobsters, Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea Cucumbers of years or more, and are easily accessible to us. What if they weren’t accessible and yet still excited? We would label them extinct. The discovery of a live Coelacanth, a fish long believed extinct, challenged some scientists’ long-held beliefs on extinction. There have been recent discoveries of incredibly large squid, and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists.
In the 1960’s the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines. The net work, known as the Sound Surveillance System, still lie deep below the ocean’s surface in a larger of water known as the “deep sound channel”. The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAA’s Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. One sound , identified in 1977 by US Navy “spy” sensors, was odd. It was obviously a marine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid, but no one is sure. It was named “Bloop”. Could it be Megalodon?
If Megalodan is still alive down in the bottom on the ocean, we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same, that’s for sure?
64．The following is commonly known EXEPT ____.
A．Megalodon, the largest shark, is extinct
B．Megalodon is not extinct but just out of reach.
C．Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wide.
D．Megalodon lived between several million years ago.
65．What makes the scientist doubt about the belief that Carcharodon Megalodon is extinct?
A．The discovery of many “Living Fossils.”
B．The discovery of the fossils of lobsters
C．The discovery of alive Coelacanth
D．The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins.
66．Why did the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world in the 1960’s?
A．To listen for changes in ocean structure
B．To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity.
C．To make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean.
D．To follow the track of the Soviet Warships under water.
67．What was special in their recorded sounds?
A．A strange, powerful animal’s sound was heard. B．A big whale’s sound was heard\
C．A sea monster’s sound was heard D．A giant squid’s sound was heard.
68．What can be concluded from the passage?
A．Scientists’ discoveries always change people’s belief
B．There are too many secrets to be discovered
C．Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean.
D．“Deep sound channel” allows sound waves to travel undisturbed .
D
Although April did not bring the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany(伴随) those rains, it is still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.
The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, do you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way round. But then, if we believe only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.
Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between the earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on the earth every second.
Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashes reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval(间隔) between the flash and the crash(撞击声) to learn how close they are to the actual spark.
69．According to the first paragraph, in the Central Valley area rains comes ____.
A．when it is April B．usually without thunder and lightning
C．when people all hope for them D．when the fields are dry
70．We think that lightning moves downward because ____.
A．we cannot see it clearly most of the time B．we consider it to be true scientifically
C．our eyes play a joke on us D. it always runs down from a cloud to the earth
71．What does the underlined word “spark” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A．Cloud B．Rain C．Thunderstorm D．Lightning flash
72．It can be inferred from this passage that ____.
A．seeing is believing
B．people may easily make mistakes in their understanding of the nature.
C．We should never trust what we see or hear
D．Children sometimes know more about nature than their parents

One possible version:
While traveling, I always take the following things with me, which are my ID card, a camera, a compass, a CD player and some clothes. I think the ID card is a basic and necessary document, and it is often used by tourists. The camera is used to take pictures or record what we have done during the trip, and it can bring us a lot of fun. The compass is very essential for us to travel in the forests. Without it, we may get lost. And then the CD player, I think, is also very important for me to kill the time when on the train or the plane. What’s more, I have to bring one or two coats when traveling to a different place. In a word, among all above, I think the ID card is the most important.
