25、Four years ago, I, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at Wellesley College. I cried when my parents dropped me off in my dormitory (宿舍). I thought to myself, “This is what loneliness feels like.” Just at that time, I had forgotten how excited I was for college.

Four years has nearly passed, I am now 21 years old, just two months from graduating from college. Once again, I have reached a critical juncture (紧要关头) in my life where I am going to be alone in a new way.

In four years, I have experienced a lot, happy time, sad moment and ordinary days. How grateful I am for the ones who have shown me the way and taught me to be strong when I felt hopeless. How lucky I am to know that I have a home to return to, a home where chaos (混乱) and arguments may occur, but where I still feel safe. A place where I am loved unconditionally, regardless of my mistakes.

Tomorrow, my mother turns 50. It is because of my mother that I’ve learned to love myself, to respect myself, and above all, to be a good person. It is because of her that even throughout all of my hardships and struggles, I have known that giving up is not and will not ever be a choice. It is because of her that I have truly learned the lesson that age is only a number, and what matters is your spirit and character.

My mother and I have sometimes clashed (冲突) head. She is the strongest person I know, the person who I disagree most. She has told me that I am the only person that is responsible for my life. But today I have to tell her that she has been wrong.

She doesn’t realize that there is another person who will never leave me. There’s another person who will always there for me and who will love me forever. That person is her. She is the first person I will call when I am sad, in trouble, or feeling blue. She will never lie to me to spare my feelings (不使我伤心).

I have come so far these fast four years. I still have a long life to live. A life that I hope will be full of adventure, success, and happiness. Although my mum was right when telling me that I am the only one responsible for what happens in my life. Mom, you’ve helped me so far. You are my hero. One day I hope to be like you.

26、请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A new study warns that about 30% of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

PAI researchers Robert Engelman says by the year 2025， about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量) of water on the earth stays the same.

The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases， such as cholera， which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt， the Netherlands， Cambodia， Syria， Sudan， and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One

way， it says， is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.

The report also says a long-term solution to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

【1】 The PAI study shows that   countries will lack water by the year 2025.

27、   Once while being prepared for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. Why are we seeing more stay-at-home dads? I thought maybe it’s because a man doesn’t make more money than his wife. Many families now take earning (赚钱) power into consideration when deciding which parent will stay home.

At that point, one of the members expressed his opinion, “It should be the better parent who stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that. I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so what he said made me excited. It showed that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.

I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent: She had spent more tune with our son, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And if he had a choice, he’d have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable (有人雇佣的) one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.

Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew him well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets: Women are good at looking after the children because they do it. It’s not because of a mother’s instinct (本能)—which I think is mostly learned anyway. It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.

Women are able to give birth and nurse, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I don’t know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are able to look after them besides Mom.

【1】Which of the following does the first paragraph (自然段) tell us?

A.Men are no longer given the chance to stay at home as they used to.

B.In some families the wives are earning more than their husbands.

C.The writer is telling the readers that he works in the TV station.

D.There are more stay-at-home fathers than stay-at-home mothers.

【2】According to the underlined sentence in the second paragraph, we can infer (推断) that________.

A.the writer thought he made more money than his wife

B.the writer didn’t think he could be a good parent

C.the writer thought he should go out for a job

D.the writer thought he could look after their son, too

【3】The writer decided to stay at home eight years ago because ________.

A.it was easier for his wife to find a job B.he thought he was the better father

C.their son liked him a little bit better D.he was earning more than his wife did

【4】Women are better than men at taking care of children because ________.

A.they spend more time doing it B.they love children and enjoy it

C.they were born with the ability D.they have learned it at school

【5】Which of the following is the writer’s conclusion at the end?

A.He is better than his wife at taking care of children.

B.He isn’t as good as his wife at taking care of children.

C.Either fathers or mothers can take care of children.

D.Both fathers and mothers cannot take care of children.

28、   It was a peaceful Sunday morning. A man in the shop h【1】 doorbell and thought it must be a customer. 【2】 he was surprised to see that a dog was coming into his shop. The dog had $10 and a note 【3】 its mouth. The man took the note and read it. It said, "Two kilos of meat, please." So the man took the money and put a bag of meat in the dog's mouth. Then he quickly closed the shop because he d【4】 to follow the dog. He found the dog on the street. The dog was 【5】 (等待) a green light.
