    Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I   36  my car and was about to drive off, I
      37  at the roadside. A piece of paper   38  my eye. I picked it up and read it   39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.
    The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’   40  of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and  __41 : no one would throw this away, especially   42  it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal   43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so   45  would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and   46  the names of the owners , who must  47  in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n）  48  addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong   49  , how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much   __50_  to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the   51  , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple   52  my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and   53  the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to   54  another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing   55  that at first glance seemed minor.

    A tiny green light   45 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up! The people      46 .
    The next day he   47  his way upward. He was so lonely and so tired! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the   48 light.
    In the morning, Bonatti looked up. He could not see the top, but he knew he was   49  there.   50  the climb was painful, he moved up.
    Bonatti had spent months   51  for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and   52  to climb to the top?
    He was finally at the top! News about his   53 was radioed to the world.
    The trip down the southern  54 was easy. He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the "  55 ", and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.

    A Battery’s Worst Nightmare(噩梦)
    Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and, let’s face it, batteries aren’t very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space. That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life!When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.
    The engine, about the size of a ten-cent coin, starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.
    But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency(效率). Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the work, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.
    The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate 10 times better than batteries do. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts in place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren’t available until at least the end of the next ten years. 
    小题1:.
    . According to the passage, the title suggests that ________.
    A．batteries should be greatly improvedB．petrol will be used instead of batteries
    C．the time of batteries will be gone foreverD．pollution caused by batteries must be prevented
    小题2:.
    What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” (In Paragraph 3)?
    A．Problem.　B．Advantage.　C．Invention.　D．Technique.
    小题3:.
    What can we infer from the passage?
    A．The new invention doesn’t need any fuel.
    B．The new engine has been produced in quantity.
    C．The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.
    D．The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale.
    小题4:.
    . What is the main purpose of this passage?
    A．To introduce a new invention to readers.B．To persuade readers not to use batteries.
    C．To show us how the new invention works.D．To declare when the engine will be on sale.

    Goldie’s Secret
    She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
    I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
    That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
    By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
    I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
    小题1:.
    How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
    A．Shocked.B．Annoyed.C．Sympathetic.D．Upset.
    小题2:.
    . In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie      .
    A．sat by the fireB．was angry
    C．ate a littleD．felt worried
    小题3:.
    Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ­    .
    A．found her way to her old homeB．heard familiar barkings
    C．wanted to leave the authorD．saw her puppies

    If a person tells you that something is “the real McCoy”，he is telling you it is the real thing，not a copy or replacement．There is nothing false about “the real McCoy”．It is the best that can be found．
    There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use．Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer，Charles Kid McCoy，a one-time world famous welter-weigh champion．One day，McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend．A man came up and began to talk to her．He was not a nice man．
    McCoy wanted no trouble．He asked the man to leave．He said．“I'm Kid McCoy．”McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didn’t need to say more．But the man did not believe him．“Oh，yeah?” he said．“Well，if you are Kid McCoy，then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighter’s friend in all unpleasant way．
    McCoy hit the man with a fist－not hard－actually it was really a light touch．But the man fell to the ground，unconscious．Ten minutes later，when he came to sense，he called out. “That was the real McCoy!” And so，as told by kid McCoy，that was how the expression “the real McCoy” got started．
    There are other versions，however．One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition（禁止）when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey．Although whiskey was against the law，many sold it．And many sold bad whiskey．They were not afraid to do so，because there was so little that anybody could do about it．Buying whiskey，good or had，was as illegal as selling it．
    But there was one whiskey dealer who was honest．His name was McCoy．He refused to sell bad whiskey．He sold  only the best imported whiskey．His product became recognized as the best．It was called “the real McCoy”．
    The expression survived prohibition days and soon became a general term．One way or another，no matter how the expression began，“the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands．It means the one and only—the best one．They are indeed words of special praise．
    小题1:What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
    A．It is about the exact meaning of the version．
    B．It tells how a person gets his name．
    C．It shows how to tell the real from the false．
    D．It explains how to find the best．
    小题2:In the third paragraph，“the prize-fighter” refers to______．
    A．a championB．George Washington
    C．a fellowD．McCoy
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the days prohibition?
    A．A national law forbade the sale of alcoholic drinks．
    B．Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell．
    C．People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey．
    D．The days of prohibition resulted in MeCoy’s selling wine．
    小题4:What is the main idea of the whole passage?
    A．The story of a famous boxer．
    B．The general use of the version．
    C．The expression and its story．
    D．The friendship between an athlete and a seller．
