24、   “Promise me I’ll die in my own bed and I won’t die alone.”

There it was. Almost three years ago Dad asked me to make those promises. I said yes. And yet, I broke both. I gazed at my two-year-old son. Today is his birthday.

“Promise me...” The voice came from the grave(坟墓). Or was it simply my own guilt(内疚) ridden imagination? Whichever, I wished it would leave me alone and let me enjoy my son’s birthday. 

Over two years ago, I broke my first promise. But what else could I have done? The battle(战斗) against his cancer was lost. All that was left was to keep him comfortable and manage his pain. My sisters and I decided his remaining days would be in a hospital. Determined to keep the other promise, I made sure he was never alone. And then came that day.

It was early morning. I was alone with Dad, waiting for my sisters to come and spare me. I heard my dad’s breath, his only voice for over a week, when my phone rang. The baby was coming. A nurse directed me to see my wife, two floors up. Yes, everything was fine. “Shall I show you to the family waiting room?” I refused, thanking the nurse as I headed down the stairs. But too late. I broke my second promise. Dad had died alone. Joy, guilt. My son and my broken promise.

The voice came again. I cried, head buried in my hands. I felt two little but strong hands, pulling my own hands away from my face. “Grandpapa!” My son shouted while leading me into the living room and pointed to a drawer in the desk. I opened the drawer and took out the picture—my dad’s.

How had he known about that photo? How did he know it was his grandfather? I had never taken it out of the drawer since shortly after my dad’s death. A new life entering the world exactly the moment an old one leaves. Could these two lives have somehow passed each other, maybe even knew each other? Perhaps Dad didn’t die alone after all.

【1】The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.

A.his father’s voice B.his guilt C.his father’s grave D.his promise

【2】The writer made his father stay in hospital for his last days to __________.

A.let his father die alone B.wait for the grandson to come

C.keep him comfortable and manage his pain D.fight against his cancer in hospital

【3】What caused the writer to break his second promise?

A.His sisters didn’t come to the hospital as they promised.

B.His father didn’t want to get any treatment about his cancer.

C.He could hear nothing but his father’s breath in the hospital.

D.His son was born almost the same time his father passed away.

【4】How would the writer probably feel after that day?

A.Joyful. B.Relieved. C.Upset. D.Nervous.

25、   To move visual technology into the future,  sometimes it helps to make a little noise.

Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images,  create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.

Since the 1940s,  scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation（声悬浮）the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3- D printing methods,  or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.

Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back——a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there Soundwaves create a 3-d display!

Display without a screen is remarkably useful.  It means that everybody in the room can see the image——any angle, location——and that's extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection（投影）of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.

The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room however.  So far,  this has been done in the research laboratory.  We need to push it a little bit harder.  We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.  The current system can only show simple graphics,  such as a smiley face or figure eight,  in real time.

Still,  we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.  If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,  it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself.  We can't make a TV image that's bigger than the TV --- even a projector has to have a projection screen that's bigger than the image itself.  But with a volumetric（容积的）display, a small,  portable device might produce a much larger picture.  We can imagine in the future, having volumetric displays in watches,  for example,  that create large images that just project out of your watch

【1】From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to________ .

A.catch very small objects in mid air B.develop 3-D printer's capabilities

C.replace a creative display screen D.compose soundtracks by making no noise

【2】What do we know about display without a screen?

A.It has resulted in visual technology. B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.

C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home. D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Outlooks for the new technology. B.Situations of the modern technology.

C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology. D.Room for the technical improvement.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Hearing Is Seeing——Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display

B.Seeing is Believing——3-D Printing Methods Arrive

C.Advancing Sense of Touch——3-D Images Float in the Air

D.Promoting TV Technology—— Chat with 3-D Projections

27、We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They’re in their shells (壳) —sleeping .

Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover .Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In spring the snail wakes up .Its body, about three inches long, comes out of from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can’t see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers (触角)are very weak . But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail’s little mouth goes to work.

A snail’s mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can’t see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out. And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

Mostly, a snail looks for food at night. But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.

【1】A snail ______________.

A. doesn’t move B. has thousands of feet at all

28、在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给。

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, w【1】 I was planning to stop to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple w【2】 were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered w【3】 I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way to the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I r【4】 a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had m【5】 their holiday meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I n【6】 that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would a【7】 no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write to him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

29、Once upon a time, a beautiful young lady married a young man. The couple led a ________ life, except for one problem: the husband spent all his time dreaming of turning dirt into gold. In those days, such people were called alchemists. Soon the husband ran through all his money. So the wife begged him to find a job. But he ________ with his dream.

Finally the wife went to her father about the problem. The father asked to see the young man. The young man arrived and expected his father-in-law would be ________. To his surprise, his father-in-law told him that he had been an alchemist before.

“Now you need one more thing to change dirt into gold, and I have only recently discovered this ________.” The old man whispered, “It is the silver powder that grows on banana leaves. You must plant the bananas yourself and put spells on them. When the plant grows, the powder will become magical. And you need two pounds of it.”

The son-in-law shouted loud. “That would require hundreds of banana plants!”

“Yes,” sighed the old man, “That’s why I am too ________ to complete the work myself.”

“Do not ________!” said the young man, “I will!” So the old man taught him the magic spells and gave him enough money to start the project.

The next day, the young man began to work just as the old man had told. Each day he looked after the plants ________ . It took him several years to collect two pounds of the powder. He rushed to his father-in-law’s house.

“I have the magic powder!” he cried with ________.

“Wonderful!” said the old man. “Now I can show you how to turn dirt into gold! But first you must bring your wife here.”

The young man was puzzled, but obeyed. When his wife appeared, the old man asked his daughter, “While your husband was collecting the powder, what did you do with the bananas?”

“I ________ them,” the daughter said, “That’s how we’ve made a living. I have also saved money.”

“May I see it?” asked the old man. So his daughter hurried home and returned with several bags. The old man opened them, saw that they were full of gold. Then he took a handful of ________, and put it next to the gold.

“You see,” he said, turning to his son-in-law, “You have changed dirt into gold!”
