    It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov’s stories. At the time, a few SF magazines began to introduce this author and translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series”. Of Asimov’s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early SF writing.
    Asimov was one of the leading writers of Western science fiction’s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying （潜在的） influence on many levels is undeniable — the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Of course, his influence is related to the atmosphere that existed in the Golden Age; a science fiction writer today has a hard time reaching that level no matter how outstanding he or she is. Asimov’s novels are marked by a fully integrated logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read — this is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Naturally, Western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov’s creative methods; instead they are closely connected to mainstream artistic trends, employing large amounts of postmodern techniques. This type of science fiction has a hard time blossoming on Chinese soil. The majority of Chinese SF readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov. This is an important question that faces today’s Chinese science fiction writers.
    Compared with the “Robot Series”, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” is a little less well-known in China. This is mostly due to the large influence of the Three Laws, and moreover, the Foundation novels have never been completely introduced here. In fact, the Foundation series creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series”; this science fiction epic（史诗） had a direct influence on later Western science fiction, the most famous example being Star Wars.
    61. We can know from the passage that the author is a _______ .
    A. science fiction writer           B. science fiction publisher
    C. high school student            D. novel translator
    62. The Three Laws of Robotics are most probably        .
    A. stories written by Asimov       B. writing techniques employed by Asimov
    C. techniques to build robots      D. characters in Asimov’s science fiction
    63. The main purpose of the passage is to        .
    A. compare Asimov with other science fiction writers
    B. attract people to read Asimov’s stories
    C. introduce Asimov’s influence on SF writing
    D. explain why Asimov is popular in China
    64. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. “Foundation Series” were translated into Chinese earlier than “Robot Series”
    B. Science fiction of postmodern style is not popular with Chinese readers
    C. Asimov is the greatest science fiction writer in Western countries
    D. The writing techniques by Asimov are better than the postmodern ones
    65. In the writer’s opinion, Asimov’s “Foundation Series”       .
    A. were not as successful as his “Robot Series”
    B. are better known to Chinese readers than his “Robot Series”
    C. were more logically organized than his “Robot Series”
    D. were written better than his “Robot Series” in some ways

    Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遗弃的) so I went over and sat next to him.
    After a few   36   about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any   37   of their own..So they cherished being together even more.
    He explained he had been married for 54 years   38   his wife died and how much he missed    39    all the little things with her, like a beautiful sunset. He now lives in a care home. I remarked at how wonderful it must've been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large    40  and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he   41   told her how much he really loved her.
    He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had   42  . I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still    43   over him and he could talk to her   44   he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart. 
    The old man tried to   45   for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.
    The   46   I learned from this chance encounter is that we must tell the ones close to us how much we love and care for them and not take them for granted.
    Don't   47   your kind acts until tomorrow; do them today because time flies.

    Many of the stories written by Mark Twain take place in Hannibal, Missouri. The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there. Next to the house is a wooden fence. It is the kind described in Twain's book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," published in1876.
    In that story, Tom has been told to paint the fence. He does not want to do it. But he acts as if the job is great fun. He tricks other boys into believing this. His trick is so successful that they agree to pay him money to let them finish his work. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is considered one of the best books about an American boy's life in THE the1800s.
    Tom Sawyer's good friend is Huckleberry, or "Huck," Finn. Mark Twain tells this boy's story in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home. His father drinks too much alcohol and beats him.
    Huck's situation has freed him from the restrictions of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He smokes tobacco.
    Huck runs away from home. He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped from slavery. They travel together on a raft made of wood down the Mississippi River. Huck describes the trip:  "It was lovely to live on the raft. Other places seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft... Sometimes we'd have that whole river to ourselves for the longest time... We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them---. “

    I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
    After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
    But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
    Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.
    My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality (道德). Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
    小题1:The author’s roommate offered to help him because________.
    A．he felt sorry for the author
    B．he thought it was a chance to make some money
    C．he knew the doctor was a very good one
    D．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
    小题2: A good doctor is essential for the author to __________.
    A．be properly treated
    B．talk with the person responsible for the accident
    C．recover before he leaves America
    D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
    小题3:The word“charge”in the third paragraph means_________ .
    A．be responsibleB．accuseC．ask as a priceD．claim
    小题4:Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.
    A．friendlyB．selfish C．professional D．busy
    小题5:What conclusion can you draw from the story?
    A．Going to court is something very common in America.
    B．One must be very careful while driving a car.
    C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides.
    D．Money is more important than other things in the US.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    When I worked in Swaziland, one day we went to an orphanage （孤儿院）．There we found a beautiful little girl named Tanzile．I gave her a sweet and she said something back to me in Si-swati, which the nurse next to me translated, “She wants another one — to give to her little sister．” I said “of course”．When we were going to leave, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye．To our surprise she seemed to be holding on to that extra sweet I had given her．I remember saying to the nurse “this little darling is clever — she has taken two for herself．”
    But the nurse told us, “Tanzile is 7 now．Two years ago her mum and dad both died of AIDS．She was separated from her sister who was three at the time．Tanzile has not laid eyes on her since．But from then on whenever Tanzile receives anything from anyone, including food — she refuses to accept it, unless they give her two．” In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we find a pile of old things which she has been collecting to give to her sister one day．
    People sometimes look at faces of African children and think that they are somehow different from our kids — that somehow they don’t feel pain or love．But that is not true．Their pain is deep．And so is their love．I can still remember the nurse trying to convince her that “if someone gives you food, you must accept it — even if it is only one piece and not two — for your own health．” And it was so hard for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head．Her hope and her love was all that she had．It mattered more than anything else．When I returned home that day, I was shocked to find that this was not an isolated story but others in the hospital knew of orphans just like Tanzile — waiting with a little pile of things in their hut, for their lovers who they haven’t seen so long．
    I think of that old song — “when we’re hungry, love will keep us alive．”
    56．From the passage we can learn Tanzile       ．
    A．is very clever                         B．knows her sister has died
    C．has stored a lot for her sister          D．doesn’t like sweets
    57．How old was her sister when the author met with Tanzile?
    A．Three years old．          B．Four years old．
    C．Five years old．            D．Six years old．
    58．What has the author learned from her experience in Africa?
    A．Love is more important in life than anything else．
    B．African children are different in a way．
