Ann was in deep sorrow. In order to memorize her mother, she put forward a proposal to fix a day as Mother’s Day. On May 7th ,1914,the Congress of the USA passed a law ,making the second Sunday of May “Mother’s Day”. Today millions of Americans observe Mother’s Day in some ways. They buy more than 150,000,000Mother’s Day greeting cards. Companies produce more than 1,000 different kinds. Most of the cards show pictures of flowers, hearts or other things that people feel are linked to being a mother. They have messages that express a person’s love for his or her mother. Some are humorous. And some have no words. People can express their own feelings for their mother. Many people give flowers for Mother’s Day. It is one of the busiest days of the year for the flower industry. Many people have written songs about mothers and Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a time for young children to do special things for their mother. Some would make a special gift or draw a special picture. One family activity on Mother’s Day is to have the children cook the early morning meal .Then they serve the food to their mother while she is still in bed. Or they might clean the house so she does not have to do it. Fathers might take care of the children that day so the mothers can rest, or take a walk, or read a book. Many mothers feel that this free time on their special day is a very good Mother’s Day gift. Some families will get together for a meal at a local eating place. This means that mothers do not have to cook on their special day. Coming out to dinner has become a tradition on Mother’s Day. As a result, restaurants are extremely crowded that day. It has become one of the busiest days of the year for the restaurant industry in the United States. Now Mother’s Day has been an international festival and more than 40 countries have accepted this festival. Title:76 Day

Waiting 39 the crowded streets, on top of a 40 110 stories high, was Philippe Pettit.This daring Frenchman was about to 41 a tightrope(绷索)between the two towers of the World Trade Center. Philippe took his first 42 with great care.The wire held. Now he was 43 he could do it. 44 only a balancing Polar, Philippe walked his way across, a 45 of 131 feet. Soon the rush-hour 46 began to notice. What a 47 !There, 1350 feet above the street, a 48 figure was walking on air.

Alexis was hot and tired. With rage (愤怒) in her voice she shouted,“Pull me up! I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!” It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said,“Ed, I"m going to go down and talk with her.”I then shouted down to Alexis,“ Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!” Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness (系带) on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted (急突) outward. Jason said to Alexis,“I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping (痉挛) up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken.”At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis" eyes and in a calm voice he said,“You are not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?” Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath. 小题1:Jason went down the cliff because _______.A.Alexis took a wrong path | B.Alexis was trapped in rocks | C.Alexis didn"t believe in herself | D.Alexis" forearms were badly hurt | 小题2: We can infer from the passage that _______.A.Alexis was finally pulled up by Ed | B.Alexis regretted having taken the wrong path up the cliff | C.Alexis was immediately sent to hospital after she was pulled up | D.Alexis successfully rock-climbed | 小题3:The underlined word “hot” in the story means_______.A.disappointed | B.angry | C.uncomfortable | D.running a high body temperature | 小题4:Alexis would probably become _______.A.more strongminded | B.easier to give up | C.poorer in health | D.less interested in rock climbing |

A man who served 11 years in prison after being wrongly convicted of murdering his wife was officially cleared yesterday, walking free from Jingshan County People"s Court—the same body that sentenced him to a 15year jail term in 1998—as over 2000 local residents cheered. “Police and other law enforcers made the errors,”39yearold She Xianglin told China Daily, “I believe the law will punish them and give me a just result.” The original conviction came based on a confession which She said was extracted under police torture and the misidentification of a still-unknown woman"s body. “The provincial Hubei government has sent a team of police, procurators and high people"s court officials to investigate the case,” a spokesperson for the Jingmen government, which administrates Jingshan County, said yesterday. The miscarriage of justice only came to light when Shen"s wife, Zhang Zaiyu, resurfaced late last month after being thought missing for 11 years. This was despite at least five letters from Zhang to her brother over the last two years, which he said he didn"t report to police because he thought they were a hoax. Zhang disappeared in January 1994 from Yanmenkou Township, and 3 months later a body was found in a pond that her relatives positively identified. Local police arrested Shen for murder in April 1994,although questions had been raised about discrepancies between the features and clothes of the body and Zhang. Confirmation through DNA testing had not been attempted. Zhang Chengmao, Shen"s lawyer, said yesterday he would seek State compensation “but we have not reached a figure yet”. When asked about compensation, Shen said, “My mother, who died from the stress of continually appealing, cannot be bought. Eleven years of freedom cannot be bought. Schooling of my daughter that was stopped because of poverty cannot be bought.” As for his wife, the man said he did not hate her at all. “If she had not reappeared, maybe I would have been wronged for life,” he said. He also said he did not plan to sue Zhang for bigamy, though she had remarried in Shandong Province without divorcing him. 小题1:Why did She Xianglin served 11 years in prison?A.Because She Xianglin was convicted of murdering his wife. | B.Because the Police and other law enforcers made the errors. | C.Because through DNA testing the dead woman was his wife. | D.Because her wife was missing. | 小题2:Which of the following is NOT true?A.The miscarriage of justice only came to light when Shen"s wife reappeared. | B.The man said he did not hate her at all. | C.Zhang Zaiyu wrote at least five letters to her brother over the last two years to hoax him. | D.She Xianglin"s mother died from the stress of continually appealing. | 小题3:We can infer from the passage _______.A.She Xianglin will get State compensation | B.She Xianglin"s daughter dropped out of school because of poverty | C.She Xianglin stayed in prison for 11 years | D.who murdered the woman is known to all | 小题4:The underlined word “cleared” in the first paragraph means _______. |
Visitors from space may have landed on our planet from time to time, maybe hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the far future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and records from some certain places, one can find many reports of strange events that could be some explanations about visiting from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One is tempted(引诱) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before education on science was popular, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(彗星) made people believe the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today. 56.小题1:According to the passage, visitors from outer space may have landed on the earth .A.long before man had dreamed of it | B.long before there were human beings | C.in the last few hundred years | D.after the space travel began | 57.小题2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFOs himself. | B.All sightings of UFOs are believable. | C.There may be living things on other planets. | D.People have seen visitors from other planets everywhere. | 58.小题3:According to the passage, .A.UFOs are only seen in recent years | B.UFOs sightings are not new | C.UFOs are just meteors and comets | D.UFOs are invented by people |
