       At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together．They had announced her  1 ’s departure．Standing near the door, he said to his daughter: “I love you, I wish you  2  ．” She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough．Your love is all I ever needed．I wish you enough, too, Daddy．” They kissed good-bye and she left．

       He walked  3   toward the window where I was seated．I tried not to intrude （侵犯） on his 4  , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to   5   knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied．“  6   me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked．“I am old and she lives much too far away．I have   7   ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said．“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough．'' May I ask what that means?”

       He began to smile．“That is a wish that has been handed down from other  8  ．My parents used to say it to everyone．” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he  9  even more．“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then  10  toward me, he shared the following  11  he were reciting it from memory．

5、       Some researchers claim that people?s personalities can be classified by their blood types．?If you have blood type O, you are a leader．When you see something you want, you strive to achieve your goal．You are passionate, loyal, and self-confident, and you are often a trendsetter．Your enthusiasm for projects and goals spreads to others who happily follow your lead．When you want something, you may be ruthless about getting it or blind to how your actions affect others．Another blood type, A, is a social, “people” person．You like people and work well with them．You are sensitive, patient, compassionate, and affectionate．You are a good peacekeeper because you want everybody to be happy．In a team situation, you resolve conflicts and keep things on a smooth course．Sometimes type As are stubborn and find it different to relax．They may also find it uncomfortable to do things alone．?

       People with type B blood are usually individualists who like to do things on their own．You may be creative and adaptable, and you usually say exactly what you mean．Also you can adapt to situations, you may not choose to do so because of your strong independent streak．You may prefer working on your own to being part of a team．The final blood type is type A B．If you have AB blood, you are a natural entertainer．You draw people to you because of your charm and easygoing nature．ABs are usually calm and controlled, tactful and fair．On the downside, though, they may take too long to make decisions．And they may procrastinate, putting off tasks until the last minute．

1．People with type O will do the following things except____

       A．manage businesses                     B．self-oriented

4、       If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”．

       We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（質(zhì)地）,as well as taste, when we plan a meal．Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss．

       A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining（重組） the old in new ways．”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph．

       A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results．To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another．

       These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities．

1．Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?

       A．To prepare for a meal．

       B．To arrange the furniture in a special way．

       C．To buy some books from a bookstore．

       D．To“write”a letter with the computer．

2．“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________．

       A．a(chǎn) new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things

       B．a(chǎn) new thing is only a tale

       C．we can seldom create new things

       D．we can hardly see really new things in the world

3．What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into

    practice?

       A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice．

       B．To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing．

       C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor．

       D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice．

4．The best title for this passage is__________．

       A．How to Develop One’s Creativity           B．What Is Creativity

       C．The Importance of Creativity                D．Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

3、       In summer, millions of people will head for the beach．And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way．Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity．

       “Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．”

       Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．

       Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples （波紋） in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”

       When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine （渦輪）．The turbine can then power an electrical generator （發(fā)電機(jī)）．

       The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland．

       The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．

       Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．

       Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．

       With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”

       In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1．Which of the following is NOT true?

       A．Wave power doesn’t cost too much money．

       B．Wave energy is so clean that it doesn’t create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources．

       C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic．

       D．Wave power may affect marine animals．

2．We can infer from the passage that ______．

       A．finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energy

       B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world

       C．wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the world

       D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution

3．The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means ______．

       A．regrets                B．a(chǎn)dventures           C．disadvantages      D．difficulties

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

       A．How to Get Electricity by Waves

       B．The advantages of Wave Energy

       C．Can Waves Make Electricity?

       D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy
