7、ther and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.”She in turn said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed.

8、I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude ( 打擾 ) on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be

9、 forever?”2,4,6“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral（葬禮）,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, I wish

10、 you enough. May I ask what that means?”He began to smile. “Thats a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled even more. “When we said I wis

11、h you enough, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain（使持續(xù)） them,” he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following:“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you en

12、ough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough Hellos to get you enough the final Good-byes.”Then he walked

13、 away. I WISH YOU ENOUGH!21The father was at the airport to _.Awelcome his daughter home. Bsee his daughter offCmeet his daughter and the author Dshare the touching poem with the author22It can be inferred that _.Athe daughter was eager to leave her father.BIt was not convenient for the father and d

14、aughter to see each other face to face.CThe daughter is looking forward to her fathers funeral.DThe daughter did not want her father to live together with her.23What is probably the authors feeling after hearing the fathers words explaining the meaning “I wish you enough”?AmovedBsatisfied Cintereste

15、d Dsorrowful24Which is probably the best title of this story?AEnough is Enough BYou Can Never be Happy EnoughCFather and Daughter DI Wish You EnoughBTreat with RespectThe speed with which Man is changing the face of Earth has outstripped（超過）all the mighty processes of nature put together. In his has

16、te to supply himself with increasing quantities of Earths treasures he risks destroying one he greatly needs, his natural surroundings. Some countries set aside unspoiled areas of natural beauty. Canada has the largest system of national parks in the world, 29 in all covering about 13 million hectar

17、es, preserving the different landscapes and the plant and animal life.Other countries are restoring areas which have been reduced to waste land by mining. At Broken Hill in Australia drifting sand from rock crushing turned the area into a desert swept by sand storms. This is now being irrigated, fer

18、tilized and planted with grass and trees. In Great Britain quarries and gravel pits are being filled in or made into lakes, industrial wasteland is being turned into playing fields and waste tips into sloping green hills.However Man tries to look after Earth the fact is that he is using up at a grea

19、t rate resources, especially fuel resources, which have taken millions of years to accumulate and which he cannot renew. Yet every day the Earth receives a huge supply of energy from the Sun. Man has made several experiments in using solar energy to heat furnaces, cookers, and water-distillers. In s

20、pace technology, e.g. on satellites, solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. Houses and offices have been designed which are centrally heated by water or air heated by the sunlight. When Man can trap and store this energy, so that he can use it exactly as he needs it, he will have not only an

21、 endless supply, but a clean and safe one.25The main idea of the second paragraph is _.AMany areas throughout the world have been transformed into wasteland by mining.BAustralia and Great Britain are the only two countries that are changing the face of the Earth.CSome countries are taking effective

22、measures to make use of the wasteland and to beautify the Earth.DDeveloping countries should learn from developed countries to look after our natural surroundings.26According to this selected passage, which energy is considered to be endless, clean and safe?AEnergy from lake waters BEnergy from fuel

23、 resources which have taken millions of years to accumulateCEnergy from forestsDEnergy from the Sun27Which country has the largest scale of nature protection according to this passage?AGreat Britain BAustralia Cthe U.S.A DCanada28Which of the following statements do you think is true after reading t

24、he passage?AMan is destroying the natural surroundings on purpose because the surroundings cannot make them satisfied to get enough treasures.BAll the wasteland throughout the world is being irrigated, fertilized and planted with grass and trees.CWhere there is a desert, there can be sand storms.DEn

25、ergy from waters, forests, fuel resources and the sun takes millions of years to accumulate.2,4,6CWe have heard of counterfeiting before. Usually it refers to people making money by printing it instead of earning it. But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured pr

26、oducts. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts, counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances, counterfeit products look better than the original! The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profi

27、table business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto parts do not meet federal safety standards.Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts est

28、imate that, in the United States alone, annual revenue loss runs form $ 6 billion to $ 8 billion. Perhaps even worse, consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterfeit product and find it doesnt perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance

29、, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops. By copying other firms products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketing costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to attac

30、k. As long as counterfeiting is profitable, large quantities of products are available to copy, and the laws are difficult to enforce, counterfeiters can be expected to proper for a long time. 29The word “counterfeiting” most probably means _.Amaking things of poor quality for profitBmaking things o

31、f good quality for profitCillegal making of things by copyingDlegal making of things by copying30The most appropriate title for the passage would be _.AThe Effects of Counterfeiting BThe Problem of Counterfeiting CThe Cause of Counterfeiting DThe Profit of Counterfeiting31It can be inferred from the

32、 passage that hand-made products are “_.”Aeasier to counterfeit than high-tech productsBmore difficult to counterfeit than high-tech productsCless profitable to counterfeit than high-tech productsDmore profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products 32The quality of most counterfeit products is _.

33、Anot up to the standards of America Bup to the standards of AmericaCso poor that few people want to buy the productsDso good that most people prefer them to the authentic onesBThe loss of a job can have a very serious impact on the individual. The immediate effect, of course, is a sharp drop in inco

34、me. Unemployment benefits typically offer less than half the individuals previous earnings(收入), and many people are not even entitled to these benefitsfor example, the self-employed, recent graduates who have not held a steady job in the previous year, and people who have been employed for a long pe

35、riod. The economic pressure on the jobless is very severe, particularly for those who have young children or long-term commitments for expenses for houses and education.But the effects of unemployment are not merely financial; they are also social and psychological. As one out-of-work teacher puts i

36、t: “Its difficult when you strip away all the things that supposedly hold you together in terms of an identity. Your work, your money, whatever is power to you, whatever is responsibility, whatever means freedom and choice.” I had to ask myself, “Who am I now? What will I do now?” All too often, lon

37、g-term unemployment may thrust the individual into boredom, despair, ill-temper, and perhaps, conflict with other family members. Even those who keep their jobs are affected by rates of unemployment, for they begin to fear for own future. Lacking the confidence that workers have in times of full emp

38、loyment, they negotiate less aggressively for improvements in pay or working conditions, for they and the employers know that if they do not like the job as it is, others will gladly take it. Unemployment is always accompanied, in fact, by underemploymentthe situation in which people are working eit

39、her for extremely low wages or at jobs below their level of skill.33It can be inferred from the passage that unemployment benefits are given to _.Apeople who are self-employed but now unemployedBrecent graduates who have not held a steady job in the previous yearCpeople who have been unemployed for

40、a long period Dpeople who have been unemployed for a short period34According to the passage, _ .Athe loss of a job can have little impact on the individualBunemployment benefits are normally about the same as a persons previous earningsCunemployment benefits are normally less than half of a persons

41、previous earningsDthe economic pressure on the jobless is typically not very severe35By “underemployment”(Line 12, Para. 2), the writer means the situation in which _.Apeople are unemployed or low skills are requiredBsome people are unemployed and poorly paid Cpeople are working for less than eight

42、hours a dayDpeople are working for low wages or at jobs below their level of skill 36The best title for the passage would be _ .AThe Financial Effect of Unemployment BThe Social Effect of UnemploymentCThe Psychological Effect of Unemployment DThe Effects of UnemploymentCIn only two decades Asian Ame

43、ricans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少數(shù)民族). As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineeri

44、ng departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. T

45、hey are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than w

46、ith an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with th

47、eir children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a

48、 typical racial (種族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.37While making tremendous achievements at college, Asia

49、n- American students _.Afeel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English Bare afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterCstill worry about unfair treatment in societyDgenerally feel it is a shame to have to depend on their parents38What are the major factors t

50、hat determine the success of Asian Americans.AA solid foundation in basic mathematics and being Asian Americans.BHard work and intelligence. CParental help and a limited knowledge of English.DAsian culture and the American educational system.39Why do the two “explanations” (Line 1, Para. 3 ) worry A

51、sian Americans ?AThey are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.BPeople would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.CAsian Americans would be a threat to other minoritiesDAmerican academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian charac
