3．One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister．On this occasion，the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girl friend．I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children．Later，I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with．
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out．I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful，grateful voice on the other end of the line，all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing．
It was，I should point out，after 10 p．m．，when the two younger children should have been in bed．a(chǎn)nd when the two older children should have been answering the phone．"I'll give him a lesson，"I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10：30 on a winter night I had no idea，but it was the only explanation I could come up with．
Finally，in desperation，I called his girlfriend's house．After what seemed like countless rings，his girlfriend answered．"Yes，"she said brightly，"He's right here．"
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm，rational（理智的）self．After all，one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers．"Where are the children？"I said．He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake．This was too good to be believed．Well，it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it．It was only part of the truth．
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents home，celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children's gifts．Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children，dressed in their best clothes，and wearing their most wonderful expressions．They are pictures to treasure a lifetime，all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend．

13．You never see him，but they're with you every time you fly．They record where you are going，how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They're known as the black box．
When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30，2009，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine （潛水艇） detected the device's homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152passengers were killed．
In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first model for a black box，which became a requirement on all U．S．commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to withstand crashes，however，so in 1965the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane-the area least subject to impact-from its original position in the landing wells （起落架艙）．The same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．
Modern airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder，which tracks pilots'conversations，and a flight-data recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．Placed in an insulated （隔絕的） case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel，the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2，000℉．When submerged，they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20，000ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they're still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20deep-sea crashes over the past 30years，only one plane's black boxes were never recovered．

24．What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner？A
A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash．
B．The total number of passengers on board．
C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage．
D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash．
25．Why was the black box redesigned in 1965？C
A．New materials became available by that time．
B．Too much space was needed for its installation．
C．The early models often got damaged in the crash．
D．The early models didn't provide the needed data．
26．Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellowC？
A．To distinguish them from the colour of the plane．
B．To caution people to handle them with care．
C．To make them easily identifiable．
D．To conform to international standards．
27．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447？A
A．There is still a good chance of their being recovered．
B．There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed．
C．They have stopped sending homing signals．
D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．

14．The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a"surgeon"？As my year as chief resident （進修醫(yī)生） drew to a close，I asked myself this question on more than one occasion．
The answer，I concluded，was（50）D．When you can say to yourself，"There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently （勝任地），treat just （51）B or better than any other surgeon"--then，and not until then，you are indeed a surgeon．I was （52）D that point．
Take，（53）A，the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had （54）C the ringing of the telephone．I knew it meant another critical resolution to be （55）A．Often，after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular （56）D，I'd have trouble getting back to sleep．I'd （57）B all the facts of the case and，often，wonder if I had made a poor decision．More than once at two or three in the morning，after lying （58）A for an hour，I'd get out of bed，dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself．It was the only way I could find the （59）A of mind I needed to relax．
Now，in the last month of my residency，（60）C was no longer a problem．Sometimes I still couldn't be sure of my decision，but I had learned to accept this as a （61）B problem for a surgeon．I knew that with my knowledge and experience，any decision I'd made was certain to be a （62）C one．It was a nice feeling．
This all sounds conceited （自負的） and I guess it is--but a surgeon needs conceit．He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the （63）D and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine．He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world．Call it conceit--call it self-confidence； whatever it was，I had it．And it is，I am sure，what a person has to make a（n） （64）B in life．

50．A．self-serviceB．self-appreciationC．self-respectD．self-confidence
51．A．more thanB．a(chǎn)s well asC．other thanD．a(chǎn)s long as
52．A．supportingB．a(chǎn)pprovingC．handlingD．a(chǎn)pproaching

11．When my son，Justin，was four，he found a caterpillar （毛蟲） and put it in a jar．Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves．In a few weeks we discovered it   （36）B  in a cocoon （繭）．

Like a  （48）A，I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with．It wanted to stay with something （49）D，scared to move on and experience something unknown．
I was once that little moth．My cocoon was my mother's （50）A，in which I was comfortable．Like the moth，I didn't want to fly too far away from it．I was  （51）C  when my first job required me to move to a new city．What would I find there？I liked （52）B  I was．

18．Lighthouses are remainders from the past that ships and sailors once sought in order to navigate dangerous U．S．coastal waters．But today，those remaining ones have fallen mostly into disuse，except as tourist attractions and old reminders of a romantic period．The U．S．Coast Guard and the U．S．Lighthouse Society say there are about 600lighthouses remaining in the U．S．，and some of those are at risk，having suffered from years of neglect （忽略）．
Dave Eshbaugh of the Oregon State Parks Trust，believes in preserving them．"They are worth saving．I think it would be disrespectful to our history and people to let them fall down and go away．"
Preservation societies in several states are attempting to keep lighthouses from disappearing． And the U．S．Congress is trying to help．In 2000，lawmakers passed the Lighthouse Preservation Act that lets the Coast Guard transfer ownership of lighthouses，at no cost，to public and private organizations．Local，state and federal agencies also can benefit from the act．
Some private citizens also are helping to restore abandoned lighthouses．Steve and Michelle Bursey own the Heceta Head Lighthouse．It is not just their home，but also their livelihood．
Not far from the lighthouse is the lighthouse keeper's house．The Burseys have changed it into a bed and breakfast inn．They say the income from their business pays for the necessary repairs that keep the lighthouse in condition．Michelle says it is a labor of love．"We have to constantly put hours and hours of time and labor into making it shine．"
Aside from making Heceta Head their home and business，the Burseys have a great appreciation for the history and the importance associated with their lighthouse．
"It's important to keep them up，"says Steve．"Once they're gone，you can never bring them back．"They are vivid reminders of a previous times and a way of life that people like Steve and Michelle Bursey think are worth preserving．They are part of America's history，its legend，and its
sailing past．

8．Critical thinking is an important skill that can increase students'ability to learn in any situation．This can be applied to traditional education to traditional education，or directly in a career related role．Many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their students a critical thinking question every day．Developing this ability can mean the difference between"just passing a course"and"understanding the material well enough"so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life．
Some characteristics of a critical thinker that teacher should encourage are；
-asking questions as a reaction to something  read or discussed；
-determining the"deeper meaning"of particular passage or topic；
-providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research； and
-reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion．
It is important for a student to understand more than definition（定義）One way to truly understand an idea is to have heands-on practice，and to apply concepts learned in a  textbook．Such"mini-examples"will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic．This is how life-long skills can be developed．
Teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can"go above and beyond"by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material．Instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material and gaining a better understanding．This will make the classroom move in a direction for learning．It can also help students to stay interested in the course material，as they always have a new concept to consider．
At the same time，students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills．When learned early on，these skills can be used throughout their college education．Students can understand how to consider a topic，analyse it，and discuss it from different points of view．These are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well．

31．Critical thinking can best be described asC．
A．a(chǎn) system to improve people's memory
B．a(chǎn) method to expand people's knowledge
C．a(chǎn) way to increase people's ability to understand
D．a(chǎn) process to make people more critical of others
32．The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1refers toD．
A．the ability  B．the difference  C．the course  D．the material
33．According to the passage，a critical thinker shouldB．
A．a(chǎn)sk questions before reading the material
B．be able to develop their own opinions
C．predict the deeper meaning of a topic
D．do more analysis and research
34．The author thinks"mini-examples"are useful because theyC．
A．a(chǎn)ssist students to better remember definitions
B．give students hands-on practice
C．help to keep students interested
D．help students develop concepts
35．Who are the intended reader of the passage？A

15．There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing．Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age．The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be amazing．
  Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end．During the past ten years，meteorologists（氣象學(xué)家）tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit．This does not seem like much，but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture．If these patterns change a lot，it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts（干旱）while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding．
  What regulates the climate is not exactly known．Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar（太陽的）heat held by the earth，which in turn determines the temperature of the planet．Another possibility is that man's industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns．However，the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world's population．
56．According to the text，the climate of the world seems toA．
A．be getting colder
B．be getting warmer
C．remain the same in the past ten years
D．have good effects on the world's population
57．According to what you have read，which of the following is true？D
