I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was   36  .

So I became   38  and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are   39  your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was   40  and cried bitterly, running away.

Whenever I was   51  , I would take out an imaginary kiss and   52  the love of my daughter who had put it there.
In a very real   53  , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container   54  with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are   55  no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(贊同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
　　My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
　　The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察覺(jué)) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
小題1: The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
A．the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
generation
B．the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C．he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
years
D．English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
小題2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
A．gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B．had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students
C．was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D．could think and speak intelligently
小題3:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
A．neutral B．positive C．critical D．compromising
小題4:It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A．it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
B．the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C．English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D．language improvement needs time and effort
小題5:In the passage the author argues that ______.
A．it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B．young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their
jobs properly
C．to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D．to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

A car that runs on coffee is unveiled（shown to the public for the first time）today but at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won’t please any motor industry accountants．
Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future．The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules （顆粒）．It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can power vehicles．
The team calculates the Car-puccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee （咖啡粉） — about 56 cups of espressos （濃咖啡） per mile．The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey．In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos, and the team will have to take ‘coffee breaks’ roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules．They will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the ‘coffee filters’ to rid them of the soot and tar which is also generated by the process．So despite a top speed of 60mph, the many stops mean the going will be slow, with the journey taking around ten hours．
Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel---even though tax collectors at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom haven’t yet worked out how much．
Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, “Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel．The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns．The brand doesn’t matter．” He said the same technology could be used to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste．
小題1:Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?
A．It should be very dry．B．The stronger, the better．
C．The smaller the granules are, the better．D．It should be of a certain brand．
小題2:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．All kinds of materials can be used as fuels．
B．The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon．
C．Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino
D．Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino．
小題3:The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that ________．
A．it makes a lot of noise
B．it runs at a very high cost
C．it has to stop to be refueled very often
D．it’s not good enough for long-distance journey
小題4:How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?
A．About 70 kilosB．About 42 kilos．C．About 32 kilosD．About 30 kilos
小題5:Why can coffee be used as a fuel?
A．It looks like wood or coal.B．It contains some carbon content.
C．It is very cheap.D．It is much better than woodchips or nut shells.

Packaging is an important form of advertising．A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product．For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character．The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food．Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them．
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this．Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free．However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product．The size of a package also motivates a buyer．Maybe the package had “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it．This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money．But that is not always true．To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit．
The information on the package should provide some answers．But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story．Only the product inside can do that．
小題1:From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to __________．
A．the size of a container
B．a(chǎn) container with attractive picture
C．a(chǎn) well-designed container
D．a(chǎn) plain container with low cost
小題2:What suggestion does the author give in the passage?
A．It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish．
B．The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product．
C．The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package．
D．A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package．
小題3:What is the best title for the passage?
A．How to Package a Product．
B．How to Make an Advertisement．
C．How to Sell Product．
D．How to Treat the Package Wisely．
