I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones. It's 21 to work with test tubes and beakers , even though sometimes my efforts end in failure. Experiments were fun for me 22 a recent accident.
The accident happened when I was heating a big test tube with an alcohol burner , chatting to my partner. All of a sudden, the tube cracked. Even though I jumped from my seat when I heard the crack, the hair on my forehead was burnt as I was leaning too close to the test tube.
23 I had no time to be sad about my hair: the liquid in the test tube poured onto the table and caught fire. I'd never 24 anything so bad! My mind went blank for a moment. Then I quickly covered the fire with a damp cloth to put it out.
The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn't dry it properly before 25 it.
We calmed down and did the experiment, again. But our hearts were still 26 rapidly even after we walked out of the lab.
But my bad luck didn't end there! Since all our 27 was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn't see the liquid falling onto my trousers.
During the following class, I felt a pain in my leg. Soon it became more and m6re painful and I touched the area with my fingers, 28 to make things better. But to my great 29 , the material of my trousers turned into powder! "Vitriol ! ! ! The terrible word came into my mind. I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin. 30 , it was not a serious injury.
After changing my trousers I thought it's very important to have a serious attitude in chemistry class. Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter.

本文通过作者的自身经历说明科学实验是一件很严肃的事情,作为初学者更要严谨细心,不能有丝毫的大意。
21. A 从文中第一句话可以看出作者很乐意去做化学实验,所以,他认为work with test tubes and beakers是一件“令人兴奋的(exciting)”事情。比较其它选项:moving令人感动的;dangerous危险的;difficult困难的;都与文意不符,故选A。
22. D 从下文可知,作者对化学实验的看法的转变是由于一场意外,即直到一场意外的发生才导致“我”对其的看法改变;所以选until直到……为止,其余的都表示“除了”之意。
23. C 由语境可知此处为一个转折,所以用but表示。
24. C 指作者从没“经历(experienced)”这样糟糕的事情!而不是“felt感觉,觉得;heard听说;imagined想象”这样糟糕的事情。
25. C 由第二段的第一句话可以知道,事故发生在容器加热时,所以老师的意思指事故发生的原因是“我们”在“加热(heating)”容器前没有将其烘干。
26. B 心脏跳动用beating;比较其它选项:striking打击,殴打;knocking敲打;hitting打击,碰撞。
27. C “focuse one’s attention”,固定搭配,集中某人的注意力;其它的都不合适。
28. C I touched the area with my fingers的目的是试图减轻腿的疼痛,所以“trying to试图,尝试”的意思最为贴切。
29. C 由语境可知“我”的裤子的材料变成粉末是极大地出乎我的意料的(to my great surprise)而非“使我很失望(disappointment),使我很高兴(joy)或者使我很舒服(comfort)”。
30. A 皮肤被硫酸洒到而没有受很大的伤当然是一件很幸运的事,所以选Luckily。

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.
What is the text mainly about?
A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.
A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly
What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
The author seems to believe that ___________.
A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it’s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents’ full attention D. parents should watch others’ children

Living an Adventurous Life
Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant that, although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have
had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has
rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, aud the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.
I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.
41. What happens to the author after her illness?
A. She has a fear of medical treatments. B. She travels to places she has dreamed.
C. She can't take care of herself any longer D. She is not drowned in anger and self-pity.
42. Why does the author admire the people mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. Because they write popular novels. B. Because they are great adventurers.
C. Because they are famous geographers. D. Because they struggle with hardship in life
43. The author ends the article with a feeling of______
A. sadness B. sacrifice C. security D. satisfaction
44. What does "adventurous life" in the title mean to the author?
A. The struggles of great people against difficulties.
B. Her concern about giving up certain activities.
C. Her adapting to the situation with an illness.
D. The exciting traveling experience of others.
45. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A. Travel can enrich a person's life.
B. Reading is an activity that a patient enjoys most.
C. A positive attitude can improve a difficult situation.
D. A person's ability can be improved through reading.

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have(36)_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (37)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children(38)_________.

And then I asked, “(43)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(44) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they (45)__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love(46)____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.

“Thank you for your(54)___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like(55)_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”
