When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My 36 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 37 . All day, I seem to remember, I 38 on the sands with strange 39 children. We made houses and gardens, and 40 the tide destroy them. When the tide went out, we 41 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the 42 seemed to shine always brightly 43 the water was always warm. Sometimes we 44 beach and walked in the country, exploring(搜寻) ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 45 in one’s pockets or good places where one could 46 ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 47 is much the same as it was. I 48 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 49 beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 50 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 51 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I 52 what my ideal(理想的) holiday will be like when I am 53 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 54 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves 55 on too many ices creams.

解析
小题1:B作者回忆儿时假日，根据常识可判断为其父母亲（parents）带他远游。
小题1:A从后文提到的词语beach（海滨），sand（沙滩）等可知作者在海边(by the sea)。
小题1:A play with sb.，与某人玩耍。
小题1:B 去海边度假，孩子们感到激动，故答案为B。moving令人感动的；anxious，焦急的；nervous,紧张的，均不合题意。
小题1:C watch sb / sth do, 看着某人 / 某物做某事。
小题1:D从后面的look down at判断，此处应该用climbed。
小题1:B 由于在海边玩耍，心情好，所以太阳也特别明亮。
小题1:A 前后两句为并列关系，所以用and。
小题1:A前文说“在海边玩耍”，后文说“乡村探寻、购物”，因此，该空应该用left表示离开海滨。
小题1:A 下一段说I dislike sweets，故选A。
小题1:C make、sell和offer都不可能是孩子们的所为，故用buy表示“买冰淇淋”。
小题1:B 上文叙述儿时度假的快乐时光，成年后他对于假期的想法依然如故。
小题1:C与上句照应，多年来，我“仍然”喜欢……。
小题1:A tides指“潮汐”，而文中指“海浪”（waves）拍打岩石的声音。
小题1:D build sand house（建沙房子）与文章开头make sand house同义。
小题1:B 空格后有逗号，所以用however。
小题1:A wonder想知道；feel感到；understand明白；believe相信。从句意看应该用wonder。
小题1:D作者回忆了儿童时代快乐的假期，但是不知道老年以后理想中的假期是什么模样。
小题1:A children包括boys和girls，只有孩子们才迷恋于沙子堆成的小房子，所以此处用children。
小题1:D sick生病。由于吃了太多的冰淇淋，病了。 |
举一反三
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition(学会) of each new skill---the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is usual that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, other are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality (准时) for meals. In general, the controls imposed (强加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parent teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is not foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

小题3:The second paragraph mainly tells us_________.| A．parents should be strict with their children | | B．parents controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community | | C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone | | D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation |
小题4:In moral matters, parents should _________.| A．observe the rules themselves | | B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children | | C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality | | D．satisfy their children’s needs |

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand.

When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size?

I love science and science fiction. Like many science fiction fans, I am fascinated by the possibility of time travel. However, one must combine romance with reasoning and look into the chances of time travel critically.
First of all, we must remember the whole universe is in motion. If we want to go back to yesterday, our "time machine" has to move back in time and space. If someone claimed he was at home when he suddenly travelled 200 years back in time, he either had an illusion or made the story up. Two hundred years ago, Earth was in a different place in space, so how can you travel back 200 years without moving in space? Don"t get me wrong. I am not knocking the genius of science fiction writers. H.G. Wells"s "The Time Machine" is a great work of fiction, but that’s all. I have read many other time travelling science fiction stories since reading H.G. Wells, but none address this problem of displacement.
My own argument for the im p ossibility of time travel is that physical states of the past no longer exist and those of the future are not here yet. To be able to move back and forth in time requires everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen everywhere in the whole universe at every single moment in time－past, present, and future－to be stored as a "reality" somewhere－like the save game file of a computer game that contains every single byte of information of the game at the point it was saved, but you would need an almost extremely large file and almost extremely many of them－so it can be re-entered and communicated with, and not just light signals for viewing. To me, I don’t buy it.
小题1:Which of the following can be the best title?| A．How to make time travel possible? | | B．Why am I fascinated by time travel? | | C．Why do I think time travel is not possible? | | D．How to explain the possibility of time travel? |
小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “illusion”?| A．success | B．dream | C．switch | D．support |
小题3: According to the author, which of the following is RIGHT?| A．We can go back to the past by time travel. | | B．People can travel to the future by moving in space. | | C．“The Time Machine” is nothing more than a science fiction. | | D．Everything that happened, is happening and will happen can be stored somewhere. |
小题4:In the author’s opinion, time travel might be possible if .| A．people could combine romance with reasoning | | B．people could stop the movement of the whole universe | | C．people could use time machine under the instruction of H.G. Wells | | D．people could “save” everything in the past, present and future in a certain space |
