"Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said. " 16 is it?" she replied. "Is there any love between you and Dad?" I asked 17 . My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 18 in her eyes.

Sometimes it is 23 , but most of it disappears into the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a 24 , then love should be a thread.

| The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week's milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning. Just lately he has been arriving before I get up. Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier. Delivering milk to people's homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road. In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early moming start for the sake of an open-air job with a fair measure of freedom. If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self-service stores. Dairies (乳品业) know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales. Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business. One dairyman said, "It won't be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk." Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks. So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade. Flavored milk is popular on the Continent. In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring. Even the returnable bottle continues to be used. As long as it has a reasonable life- 30 to 40 trips are usual-the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile. |
| 1. The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than be- fore because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there is an increasing demand for milk delivery B. they hope to reach the customers' home in time C. they have to collect the money for the week's milk house to house D. dairies are short of deliverymen and the companies worry about falling sales |
| 2. Why are there enough men prepared to make an early morning start? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because they can enjoy a certain amount of freedom in the fresh air. B. Because they like working outdoors and breathing the air freely. C. Because they can enjoy a great amount of freedom outdoors. D. Because they like walking freely in the fresh air. |
| 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true? |
|
[ ] |
| A. One of the marketing ideas is variety. B. The milkman now delivers more bread than milk. C. Milkmen have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries. D. Some milkmen deliver potatoes in addition to dairy products. |
| 4. According to the passage, in this decade ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. milkmen will disappear very soon B. flavored milk will become popular in Britain C. people will buy milk from self-service stores D. there will be little change in the dairy business |
| 5. It can be inferred from the passage that ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the British people seldom buy plain milk B. the returnable bottles are no longer used C. collection and cleaning of the retumable bottles cost nothing D. the returnable bottles won't be thrown away until they are used dozens of times |

| I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate (准确的) knowledge of my age, never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant (不知情的). I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or autumntime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me! I was not allowed to ask my master about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate (估计) I can live makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark. My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it,and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor. |
| 1. It can be learned from the text that ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the slaves forgot the exact time when they were born B. the writer didn't know whether his master was his father C. the writer was about twenty-seven years old in 1835 D. the writer's mother left him as soon as he was born |
| 2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph l refers to ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. their birthdays B. my age C. a record D. Maryland |
| 3. According to the passage, when the writer was very young his mother ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. ran away B. was light-skinned C. had several children D. was sent to work elsewhere |
| 4. The author was most probably raised ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. by his grandparents B. by an old woman slave C. with his master's support D. together with other children |
| 5. How does the writer feel about not knowing his age? |

| Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (远程控制器) and a radio signal from a control center miles away will make sure that once the thief turns the engine off, he will not be able to start it again. The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro-processor and memory and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded (编码的) cell phone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted. In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed," says Martyr Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than 10 years old. Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped to achieve a 31% drop in vehicle crime since 1997. But determined thieves are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system. If the car travels 100 meters without the driver conforming (一致) the ID, the system will send a signal to an operation center that it has been stolen. The 100-meter minimum avoids false alarm be- cause of some possible errors of the GPS signal. Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep the police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit. |
| 1. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to the car? |
|
[ ] |
| A. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief. B. To order the car to lock automatically when stolen. C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops. D. To send a radio signal to inform the car owner of the theft. |
| 2. The underlined sentence "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" suggests that ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. it takes less time for the car thief to do the stealing B. many self-prepared too]s can be used for car theft C. the theft becomes more difficult because of modern technology D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old |
| 3. ____ is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal. |
|
[ ] |
| A. A micro-processor B. A special ID code C. A special cell phone D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver |
| 4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-meter minimum before sending an alarm to the operation center? |
|
[ ] |
| A. To leave time for the operation center to give an alarm. B. To keep the police informed of the car's movement. C. To give the driver time to contact the operation center. D. To allow for possible mistakes in the GPS system. |
| 5. What will the operation center do first after receiving an alarm? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Start the tracking system. B. Stop the engine. C. Contact the owner. D. Locate the missing car. |

| How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collection" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats (栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having leamed anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species' name, diet, and natural range. The animals' normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A world-wide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species (物种) dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals' natural habitats. |
| 1. How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Dangerous. B. Unhappy. C. Natural. D. Simple. |
| 2. In the state of zoochosis, animals ____ according to the passage. |
|
[ ] |
| A. remain in cages B. behave strangely C. often attack other animals D. enjoy walking around |
| 3. What does the author try to argue in the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. |
| 4. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do B. giving examples of animals in the wild C. questioning the way animals live D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats |
| 5. Although he is against zoos, the author would still admit that ____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages B. most animals in zoos are endangered species C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos D. it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats |
