The Hollywood great was nominated for Academy Awards three times throughout his career, and was presented with an honorary Oscar in 1996. In the same year he suffered a stroke, seriously damaging his ability to speak. However, it never kept him out of the public eye. Following recovery, Douglas wrote a book My Stroke of Luck in which he said his life changed for the better. He wrote several other books, including three memoirs (回忆录).

27、 I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.
One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker(搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.
We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch-hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.
We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch -hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life, and I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.
【1】What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?
A.The writer’s father really listening to him.

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. 【1】.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing about, such as cancer and heart disease. 【2】. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to patients, but the great amount of money people spend on treating their diseases can also be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life spans (寿命) can be prolonged.

The scientist just needs to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
【4】. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
