A
He was a funny—looking man with a cheerful face,good—natured and a great talker.He was described by his student,the great philosopher Plato,as“the best and most just and wisest man”.Yet this same man was sentenced to death for his belief.
The man was the Greek philosopher,Socrates.He was sentenced for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people.The second charge arose from his association with many young men, who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates’ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers,to press his students into thinking for themselves.His teaching had great influence on all the Greek and Roman schools of philosophy.Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the people who held traditional views.They wanted him silenced.Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had right to ask for less punishment, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had sentenced him before.But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to accept the death sentence.So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank accept of poison in the presence of his sorrow-stricken friends and students.

A.Socrates had a strong character.
B.young people in those days admired Socrates very much.
C.Socrates’ teaching methods had little influence on schools of philosophy.
D.Socrates attached importance to the development of his, students creative thinking.
57.Socrates was sentenced to death because    .
A.he did not respect law                                 B.he was a philosopher

A.Socrates was different from many other philosophers
B.Socrates was not so learned as people thought
C.Socrates used the works of his students in teaching
D.the government forbad publishing Socrates’ works
59.Socrates accepted the death sentence to show    .

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(標(biāo)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 .

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
The Mississippi
The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—“misi”meaning“great”and“sipi”meaning“water”.When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater.  71  . From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2, 480 miles long.
Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled.  72 .
Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, fanning the rich soil of the delta.   73  .
 74 . Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.
Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans.  75 . New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.
A.It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is
B.Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters
C.Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest river in the world
D.It is known that the“Great Water”has also been a frontier river
E.However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
F.The“Great Water”always remains a thread, for the streets of the city are below the level  of the river
G.They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and  preserving their own traditions

A
The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid.It was Carlos.
"My, you're tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh.Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest.That would be the last straw.To my relief.Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it.I didn't know why I considered Reed my friend.Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.
"Take that seat," Mr.McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.
Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again.Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president."How come?" I kept asking myself."How come this shrimp (蝦) who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn't seem to bother you — being short, I mean." He looked up at me."Of course I mind being short.But there isn't anything I can do about it.When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it.My motto is — don't be afraid to be yourself."

A
When I was a child , I remember that my mother decided that we would take a trip to visit my Aunt Sandy who lived in Mammoth Lakes, California. I was about 7 at the time but my memory does not fail me because I can recall my personal details .
We were sitting in the kitchen getting ready to have peanut butter and suddenly without warning the room started shaking. I remember thinking that it was weird(怪異)that construction workers must have been moving the house or something, but that it was weird that they would do it when we were still in it. I had a vivid imagination too. So everything started shaking and my aunt had this horrible look on her face as she dropped the knife of peanut-butter onto the ground and held on to the counter. My mom told me to get under the table, which as I think back was odd because what was happening was from the ground so what good was getting under a table going to do. The kitchen window soon broke out on its own from the force of all the shaking and I started getting pretty scared(害怕). I don’t think my aunt moved the entire time. My mom had gotten under the table with me and was holding me to make sure I was OK I suppose. It seemed strange because no one really knew what to do.
So finally the shaking stopped. The power was out and it took minutes before anyone really even started to move and talk again. My mother decided that we would leave the next morning. I don’t remember if we were only planning to stay for one night or if we were just stopping by on our way to Fresno where my mom had friends.
56.The first paragraph is mainly to tell us that the writer_________.
A.was eager to see Aunt Sandy      B.was too young to do anything
C.doesn’t remember anything at all    D.still remember what happened when young
57.While they were sitting in the kitchen__________.
A.the construction workers moved the house    
B.the kitchen window broke out on its own
C.a(chǎn) terrible earthquake took place suddenly     
D.they were warned to leave the room at once
58.Aunt dropped the knife of peanut-butter onto the ground because_________.
A.she was very busy   B.she was too frightened
C.everything shook hard    D.she didn’t use it any more
59.From the last paragraph we can know that________.
A.everyone began to make the house clean and tidy
B.the writer’s mum decided to leave immediately
C.the electricity was cut off completely at home
D.everyone started to talk about the shaking loudly

Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for!

My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.
Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.
