When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift.

It was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On

my way home a car ran over me and cut off my 36 because of its high speed.

Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life 37 arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. 38 slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I 39 every day.

However, it's easier to 40 than to do. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a normal(正常的)mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get 41 about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; they don't have a mobile phone but 42 have, and so on. But I only 43 life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on(关注)what you have 44 . We should always think of what we have had.

四、阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2分，满分24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，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。

A

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head.

The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?"

The child answered, "I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands."

The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"

"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

46.The old man was fishing on the bank of .

A. a river

B. a lake

C. a pool

D. a stream

47.Why did the child refuse(拒绝)the fish the old man gave her?

A. Because she didn't like fish.

B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.

C. Because the old man had few fish.

D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills.

48.The writer thought the child was after she explained why she didn't want the

fish.

A. smart

B. hard-working

C. creative(有创造力的)

D. silly(傻的)

49.The article mainly tell us .

A. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won't be afraid of anything

B. if you have a fishing rod, you'll have a lot of fish to eat

C. "fishing skills" are more important than "the fishing rod" in life.

D. "the fishing rod" is more important than the fish that people catch

50.What is the best title for the article?

A. The Fishing Rod

B. The Fishing Man

C

On June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig

Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole "map" of the

human body: DNA. DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells

the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother

and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named "genes" in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.

In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell(细胞)to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.

Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technology(技术)wasn't limited(限制)in use.

54.When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?

A. In 2000.

B. In 1953.

C. In 1961.

D. In 1860.

55.What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?

A. The "map" of DNA.

B. A new illness.

C. A message of DNA.

D. The language of DNA.

56.What can we do if we understand some "words" of the language inside the body?

A. Make people get new jobs.

B. Make medicine for illnesses.

C. Make maps of human.

D. Make people less attractive.

57.What do people think about this work?

A. It can cause good or bad results.

B. It can cause only good results.

C. It can cause good results but won't work.

D. It can cause only bad results.

根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡)of nature. We should try to

help save the animals.

Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.

Some people don't think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.

I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

83.What does every animal have in the balance of nature?

84.How can we know more about the animals in the zoos?

85.Do you think animals feel happy in the zoos? Why or why not?
