Later, I felt I had to honor my love for Mary by not breaking 12. She married me because I was a 13 man and I knew I had to carry on and actively chose to swim rather than 14.
We moved to another city but two years later, I was diagnosed with cancer. The anxiety that had been gone came 15 back—would my boys be left with no parents? 16, the disease was in its early stage and doctors could treat it in time.

第三部分:阅读(共两节,满分40分)

第一节:阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

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。

What is a creepy crawly?

A few years ago, I was on a bicycle trip when I got off my bike for a rest. I sat down on the grass. A few seconds later, I was covered in ants. They were swarming all over me so I got up and brushed them off. It was a strange experience but I soon forgot about it.

A couple of years later, I was living in Jordan. I had just moved into a modern flat and was unpacking plates when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I looked over at the kitchen drawer and there was a cockroach crawling out of it. I screamed. Then I grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed it on the cockroach. He ran under the nearby bathroom door. It took me three days before I found the courage to open the bathroom door to see if he was still alive. He wasn’t.

Why did I react so violently to one lone insect when a closer encounter with hundreds of ants hardly affected me? The answer is easy: because cockroaches are creepy crawlies and ants aren’t. Creepy crawlies are those little bugs which provoke feelings such as uneasiness, anxiety or dislike – they make your skin crawl.

Did you know that some people feel such a fear of bugs that it becomes a phobia? Psychologists have offered many explanations. Some say we associate them with dirt and disease. Or that these are life forms that are so alien to us, that we find them repulsive(令人厌恶的) for their dissimilarity.

Insects, however, don’t follow our rules – they just do what they want and invade our space. Unfortunately, although insects and bugs have been a successful animal species up to now, many of them, like many other species nowadays, are under threat of extinction. Entomologists warn that this could upset entire ecosystems and lead to all kinds of disastrous consequences.

So my plea to you is: the next time you feel the urge to stamp on, splatter or spray a creepy crawly, give a thought to the planet and stop.

1. Why did the author mention the ants in the beginning?

A. Because the experience with the ants presents a sharp contrast to that with the cockroach later.

B. Because the author wants to show her preference to the ants and her dislike for the cockroach.

C. Because both ants and cockroaches are creepy crawlies that the author dislikes.

D. Because meeting the ants is an unusual experience that the author can hardly forget.

2. What does “insecticide” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. a kind of fruit juice.                             B. a kitchen knife.

C. liquid for killing insects.                        D. cleanser for the bathroom.                                                                                                                                                                       

3. How does the author feel about the bugs like cockroaches?

A. The author doesn’t mind the contact with those harmless small creatures.

B. They make the author feel so awful that they should be killed.

C. They invade our space and become a threat to humans.

D. They still deserve a place for keeping the balance of the nature.

4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the cockroach makes the author’s skin crawl?

A. It looks so strange and different that the author can’t accept its appearance.

B. It can make the author feel sick and cause a strong dislike.

C. The author may relate it to something dirty or disease at the sight of it.

D. It reminds the author of the experience of meeting hundreds of ants.

5. Which of the following statements about bugs is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Some people may be frightened so much by bugs that it leads to a psychological barrier in some degree.

B. People can enjoy a cleaner living environment if more bugs like cockroaches are killed.

C. Many bugs are in danger of extinction so they should be placed under human’s protection.

D. Some bugs are extremely unpleasant that people have a strong wish to destroy them.

There were smiling children all the way.

     It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.

     The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

     I looked forward to the return journey.
