The story goes that some time ago,a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.Money was tight and he became infuriated(憤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.Nevertheless,the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said,“This is for you,Daddy.”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction,but his anger flared(爆發(fā)) again when he found out the box was empty.He yelled at her,stating,“Don’t you know,when you give someone a present,there is supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried,“Oh,Daddy,it’s not empty at all.I blew kisses into the box.They are all for you,Daddy.”

The father was crushed.He put his arms around his little girl,and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later,an accident took the life of the child.It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years,and whenever he was discouraged,he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café.We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day Dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And in doing so, I'm delighted with my_new_friend.My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

閱讀理解。

Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless(Wi-Fi) connection?Just recently,a man was arrested for doing just that.At that time,he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便攜式電腦)and using an unsecured(無(wú)安全保護(hù)措施)wireless connection to surf the Net.What do you think about this topic?Listen to the following different views on it.

For a start,if someone is using your Internet service or downloading,this will affect your speed of access or download limit.Also,it’s bad for Internet service providers.They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free.And finally,just imagine this:what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity?I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.

—by Sandra Wilkins

Basically,if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for,what’s the problem?It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book,or watching someone else’s firework display.It’s not stealing.

Also,if you leave your wireless connection unsecured,then it is your own fault(過錯(cuò))if someone else uses it.Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked,or your car door open,neither should you leave your wireless connection open.By leaving your wireless connection open,you are inviting people to use it.Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器).And finally,haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve?They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues.But this is just ridiculous(荒謬的).

—by James Hoarley

1.Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested?

A.For stealing someone’s laptop.

B.For surfing the Net in the street.

C.For using an Internet service without permission.

D.For destroying others’ wireless connection.

2.What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?

A.He thinks it is necessary sometimes.

B.He thinks it is unacceptable.

C.He thinks it requires good computer skills.

D.He thinks it is good for Internet service providers.

3.In James Hoarley’s opinion, .

A.Internet service should be improved

B.using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all

C.it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection

D.people should leave their wireless connection open

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Wireless worries B.Wireless connection

C.Internet service D.Internet users

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。

What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s cathedral to widen the road,or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It’d be ridiculous,right? But when it comes to devastation(毀滅)of the natural world,we aren’t so easily shocked.But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble!

Nature is shrinking by the day.Ancient forests are destroyed.Wetlands are becoming dry.Woodland is disappearing,all in the name of progress.This is bad in itself,but it’s devastating for biodiversity.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants,animals and other living things which are all inter-connected.The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life.The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis(光合作用)by green plants.In fact,all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity.More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species.And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals.Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.

The loss of biodiversity could be devastating.“It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O Wilson,known as “the father of biodiversity”.He warned,“We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”

But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague.People might care about giant pandas,but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines.The Guardian newspaper is trying to help.It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity.This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to change the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes in Australia,among many other things.

There is a lot to do.And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!

1.What does the author think of pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park?

A.Unreasonable. B.Necessary.

C.Difficult. D.Urgent.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Nature is badly polluted by humans.

B.Species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day.

C.Rainforests are being cut down every day.

D.Nature is full of mysteries to humans.

3.Edward O Wilson believes that .

A.it doesn’t matter to decrease the biodiversity

B.people have done enough to preserve biodiversity

C.the situation of biodiversity is very serious

D.biodiversity loss has been unavoidable

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Plenty of marine reserves have been set up in the world.

B.Fishing sharks is illegal around the world.

C.It’s harmful to catch tiny organisms in the river.

D.The Guardian newspaper has done a lot for biodiversity.
