   Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, "Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I have only one hand."

   Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me, "And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"

   In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod (桿) to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.

   That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her "we'll see about that" look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.

   "Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I'll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

   One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. "Morn," I said, weeping, "none of the boys would dance with me."

   For a tong time, I didn't hear anything. Then she said, "Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

56. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom's attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?

    A. Cruel.              B. Serious.             C. Strict.            D. Cold.

57. What does the sentence "I saw her 'we'll see about that' look" imply?

    A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.

    B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.

    C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.

    D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.

58. When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because_________.

   A. they felt sorry for what they had done before

   B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt

   C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars

   D. they were astonished to find the author's progress

59. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is_________.

    A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep

    B. the child's experience reminded Mom of that of her own

    C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph

    D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child's growth

    One day when Isaac Newton was reading a book under an apple tree on the farm, an apple fell down and hit him on the head. For most people that would be the end of the story, but not for Newton. Why did the apple fall out of the tree? Does everything fall? What makes things fall? Can anything stop things from falling? Are the sun, moon, and stars falling? Why don’t they ever hit the ground?

     So many questions. Newton spent many years answering these questions by thinking and doing experiments. He made up the law of gravity. According to this law everything pulls everything else to itself by a force called gravity. How strong that force is depends on how heavy the things are and how close together.

    Newton’s law of gravity not only explained how things fall on earth, but now planets move around the sun and how moons move around planets. A friend of his, Edmund Halley, decided to try Newton’s theory on comets. People had been studying comets for hundreds of years without figuring them out, so he decided to study their reports and compare them to Newton’s theory.

    Up till then people had thought that comets just came and went, and that nobody could know when or why. But Newton’s law of gravity gave rules that Halley could use to study the records of comets. He found some reports of a big bright comet that he was sure was the same one, coming back every 75 years. He predicted when it would come back next.

    If anybody still didn’t believe Newton, then the appearance of Halley’s Comet just when Halley had predicted it using Newton’s ideas was enough to convince them. Halley’s Comet has come a few times since then, always right on schedule. You’ll be able to see it on its next trip near the sun and earth when you’re old enough to be a grandparent.

71.The passage starts with a story _____________.

D.he was so much interested in science

73.Newton’s law of gravity can tell us that _____________.

A.gravity has no relationship with the weight of things.\

B.how things fall on earth

C.it is not of help to the study of comets

D.it can explain everything in the world

74.The underlined word “ convince” in the last paragraph probably means “______________”

A. make… believe                B. make… doubt

C. make… understand             D. make… interested

 75. Which of the following is TRUE about Edmund Halley?
