Don’t Say a Word

Don’t say a Word by Andrew Klavan. It still gives me chills (寒冷) to think of anyone doing that to my family. It also sent me searching out all of Klavan’s other novels, and he is a master of the emotionally involving thriller, so it introduced me to a lot of good reading.-Lorraine Cormack

Those Bones Are Not My Child

Those Bones Are Not My Child by Toni Cade Bambara. The story unfolds with the disappearance of a 12-year-old boy and his mother’s tireless search to find him. Throughout the pages of the novel, Bambara enveloped me into the mind of a community turned upside-down by violence.

It’s a believable and urgent story about love and loss.-Helen Schulz

28、I live in a second-floor flat with an ancient tree right on the corner of the house. House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.

It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. It bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise, which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It’s covered in moss（苔藓）, which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of insects. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they’re there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.

I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I’m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When I’m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. We’ll be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business, living side by side. Even as I write this—the large windows open to a lovely, soft evening—a white feather comes floating down by my side, probably from one of the resident pigeons.

As I don’t have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me feel connected to the outdoors. Such is an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures—that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, I know that it can count on me and I will protect it with all my strength.

【1】The flat that author lives in is _________.

A．built in an ancient tree

B．hugged by a giant tree

C．decorated with branches

D．surrounded by a garden

【2】In the author’s description, she implies that _________.

A．birds keep her warm company

B．she has adopted the residents.

C．moss makes her flat nice and cool

D．she has been bothered by the insects

【3】What does the author really treasure?

A．A close-to-nature life.

B．A luxurious garden.

C．A spacious house.

D．A sociable neighbor.

【4】Which of the following can be used to express the author’s feeling?

A．Jealous.

B．Inferior.

C．Content.

D．Passionate.

29、   It was about five in the morning in Ontario，Canada，when Donna Strickland's phone rang. The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm，calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.

“I wondered if it was a joke，” Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call. She had been asleep when the call arrived. “Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning. But then I knew it was the right day，and it would have been a cruel joke.”

Strickland，an associate professor at the University of Waterloo，shares the honor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers (激光) into tiny tools that today have countless applications. The prize money of $1.4 million will be shared among the three. Half of the prize went to Strickland and her cooperator Gérard Mourou，a professor at the École Poly technique in France. The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin，a retired physicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States.

Strickland's win is historic in more than one way. It's been over 55 years since a woman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics last time. And she is only the third woman to receive the prize in the Nobel's over 117­year existence. In 1903，Marie Curie became the first­ever woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.For the next 60 years，no women physicists were awarded. Maria Goeppert­Mayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.

Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in physics. “Is that all，really？I thought there might have been more，” she said at a press conference Tuesday. “We need to celebrate women physicists，because we're out there. Hopefully，in time，it will start to move forward at a faster rate.”

【1】What was Donna's first reaction when told she won the Nobel Prize?

A.She felt all efforts paid off.

B.She was skeptical of the news.

C.She was too excited to say a word.

D.She was annoyed at being awaken up.

【2】How much was Donna rewarded for winning the Nobel Prize?

A.About $350，000.

B.About $700，000.

C.About $1.4 million.

D.About $2.8 million.

【3】What is the Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.Strickland's achievements in physics.

B.The history of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

C.The struggle of women physicists to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

D.Three women scientists who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.

【4】What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The Nobel Prize in Physics.

B.The achievement of women physicists.

C.The celebration of the Nobel Prize winners.

D.Awarding women physicists the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In Congress, July 4, 1776

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

38、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

On November 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman's concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches(拐杖) now.

That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke, You could hear it break—it broke with a loud noise. People thought to themselves, "He will have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one. " But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power. Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing the piece in his head

When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”

His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

40、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I sat in the breakfast corner with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. I was still recovering from a surgery. I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless , I’d always wanted five or six kids. Three surgeries later, that dream would never come true.

Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to the sliding door. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子)seated on a rubber tree. It sat there a few moments, and then flew away. I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before.

When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying twigs(嫩枝).”Look, Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They're going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on the top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. As much as I was grieving(感到悲伤),I couldn't help but look forward to the doves’   visits too. We watched their progress as if it were a real-life soap opera unfolding before us. I’d do the cooking and for a moment, my pain disappeared, replaced by joy.

Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew through, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch(从头开始), though the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened.
