Edith Cavell was born on December 4, 1865, in England. When she left school, she became a teacher. Edith soon found that she had a 36  for nursing(护理), so she completed her training 37  any problem. In 1907, a doctor invited Edith to open a 38  school for nurses in Belgium(比利时).
In August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium. By then, the training school had become a Red Cross hospital. It required its nurses to care for injured soldiers from every country---even 39  soldiers.   .
German forces (军队) went through Belgium to France. British soldiers were 40  with the French, trying to 41  the Germans out of France. But they didn’t 42 . As a result, many British and French soldiers would be caught. But some of them found their 43 to Edith’s training school. There, she took care of them and 44  them from the German forces. Then she heard some 45  people were willing to help the soldiers escape. Together they organized travels for the soldiers out of Belgium to Holland, which was a safe country during the whole war.
In august 1915, the German government discovered 46  was happening at Edith’s training school. Edith was 47  for helping about two hundred British and French 48 escape. Early on October 12, 1915, Edith Cavell was 49  . She died for her country, but she believed that she had only been a nurse trying to do her 50 . History will remember her for ever.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从下列各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Many people of my generation(代,一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 11  people behave today.
Their first argument(论点) is that when we were young we used to look after the  12  people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t  13  about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 14  . People had to live with their  15  and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more  16   to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect (盼望,期待)to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain(抱怨) about  17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts(关系). It is really   18 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19  . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20  as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫)at them.But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write,I felt bothered at my desk.Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault.A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK,you two here.but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily, I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me.“Get away from us!” he shouted back,there being expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden,I found the fault in myself.Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(螃蟹螯)and crawled towards them,“Crabby(似螃蟹的)Daddy is here Ha,Ha,Ha,he likes to yell at children,and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away,but now he was laughing and crying at the same time.My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well.Still,I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself.It only shows just how to get rid of something(ill-feelings,responsibility)by blaming others.It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children.They don’t need perfect parents,but they do need parents who are always trying to get better.Here,I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker,“When a man lives with God,his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…” Then,in our lifetime,couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since,most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level,what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?  
小题1:The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because______.
A.the weather was so unpleasantB.a Daddy has his right to do so
C.the kids didn’t ask him to join themD.he was tired of his boring work
小题2:Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A.No obvious reason.B.The children’s reaction.
C.His self-control.D.The mess made by the children.
小题3:According to the passage the author will   in another similar situation.
A.play a crab again like this timeB.apologize to kids in a sincere way
C.avoid blaming kids in a hurryD.beat them up about such things
小题4:What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
A.How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.
B.How to blame our children in a more interesting way.
C.How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids.
D.How to persuade children to do what they are told to.

请阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own。We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies Beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists(幻想)literature or movies like the lord of the rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other,to the world around us ,and to the world of make-believe.but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings,as biologists have suggested,possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms,However, people,especially in big eities,often lead rather isolated lives,In a study of  British schoolchildren,it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife.without modem technology,a small Pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants,insects,birds,and animals 。when we lack meaning(交互)with the world around us,and somethings even with our families and friends,we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad,but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路)for our sense of wonder,then we are really missing something,we are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful wonderful worlds exist all around us.but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough,we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own.
小题1:The popularity of the lord of the rings.proves       
A.the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B.the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C.the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D.the general existence of the sense of curiosity
小题2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.people are far less familiar witn the world of fantasy
B.the world around us could serve as a source of wonder
C.the world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
D.Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder
小题3:If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe,we will       
A.fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
B.be confused by the world of make-believe
C.miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D.be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
B.to warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
C.To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
D.To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

Dr. Marie Curie is known to the world as the scientist who discovered radioactive metals i.e. Radium and Polonium.
Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize for Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time for chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.
As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of 18, Marie became a governess. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. In 1891, Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie, a well-known physicist.
Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material.
小题1:The underlined word “emitted” in the 2nd paragraph means_______.
A.gave offB.gave awayC.set outD.set off
小题2:According to the passage, which order of the following is right?
① Marie Curie worked as a governess. ② Marie Curie met and marry Pierre Curie.
③ Marie Curie learned to read. ④ Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel Prize.
⑤ Marie Curie discovered radium.
A.①②③④⑤B.③①②⑤④C.①②③⑤④D.③①②④⑤
小题3: When did Marie Curie win a Nobel Prize for a chemistry?
A.In her twentiesB.In her thirtiesC.In her fortiesD.In her fifties
小题4:What does the passage mainly talked about?
A.Marie Curie discovered radiumB.Marie Curie, a famous chemist
