I knew then that it was(48)C just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day.As she (49)Ato talk,I (50)B slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie's hand.I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and he would be with her (51)C all of this.(52)D Jennie looked down at the ring,she got excited and then held it tightly,(53)A the word written on the ring was"HOPE".
The last day I was at the hospital,I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift.She (54)B and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying."Look,I (55)Chave Hope!"

13."If we can set it up so you can't unlock your phone unless you've got the right fingerprint(指纹),"Barack Obama asked last Tuesday,"why can't we do the same thing for our guns?"For this reasonable-sounding question,the president was praised throughout the media.
As it happens,though,there is a good answer to this question:there is no market for guns that work just some of the time.Guns are simple things designed to operate as easily and reliably as possible.The introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity,and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer.As President Obama well knows,the fingerprint software on his phone works rather erratically:Often it takes a user two or three tries to log in; occasionally,it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password.When this happens on an phone,the user is mildly inconvenienced.If this were to happen on a gun,the user would be dead.There is a reason that modern smartphones put the camera function outside of the authentication(认证) process.
How could we possibly think that guns are the same as other commercial products?It is true that,say,cars have become considerably safer over the last few decades; true,too,that"research"has contributed to this improvement.But it matters enormously that a car is not intended to hurt people,and that in a perfect world nobody would ever be injured by one.Can we say the same of guns?Of course not.Guns are killing machines,designed to do damage to living things.In fact,they have no other purpose.As such,the salient(突出的) question before any free people is not"are guns dangerous?"they are,but"who gets them,and why?"
This is not to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety.On an individual level,gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children,and,where possible,they should train themselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot in anger.At the national level,the combination of better policing and economic growth can help to reduce crime-and,indeed,it has.In 1993,gun crime was more than twice as common as it is now,and there were fewer guns in circulation.Unpleasant as it is in its own right,that we have reached the point at which two-thirds of all guns-related deaths are deliberately self-inflicted (自虐) is a small victory.
How to deal with those deaths that remain?That is a tricky one.I do not know the answer,and nor,frankly,does anybody else.But selling fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cut it.
29.What does the writer mainly argue in this passage?B
A.Gun crime has been greatly reduced.
B.The idea of smart guns is not realistic.
C.Gun control will not succeed in America.
D.Guns-related deaths deserve public attention.
30.The underlined word"erratically"in Paragraph 2 probably meansC.
A.with effectiveness                                  
B.with passion and energy
C.in an unpredictable manner                     
D.in a reasonable and fair way
31.The writer supports his ideas in Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly byD.
A.analyzing statistics(数据)                         
B.presenting problems and solutions
C.quoting the authorities(引用权威)           
D.making comparisons and contrasts
32.Which of the following might the writer NOT agree with?A
A.Few know how to deal with guns-related deaths.
B.Efforts to improve public safety have partly paid off.
C.The nature of guns makes them different from other products.
D.Guns using fingerprint software can risk the lives of the users.
10.Everyone would like to be a millionaire,a person with a lot of money,but can you imagine having over﹩30million and only being 20years old?Britney Spears from Kentwood,a small town in Louisiana,is only 20years old.She is a world famous film star with not only﹩30million but also a﹩2million house in LA.At her young age,she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life.This year is a big year for Britney.She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out.That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000people every time.It's a tiring schedule but brings her a lot.When touring,she goes to bed around 1a.m.and then has a lie-in until 1p.m.the next day.Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting.She made an appearance in"Austin Power 3"this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003.In this movie,she has a starring role.
For Britney,acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all.If her movies are successful,her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love,not the money,as she herself tells the reporters.

11.The private automobile (汽车) has long played an important role in the United States.In fact,it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life.By giving workers rapid transportation,the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work.This has encouraged the growth of the cities,but it has also led to traffic problems.
For farm families the automobile is very helpful.It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure,and also to transport their children to distant schools.
Family life has been affected in various ways.The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics,outing,and other shared experiences.However,when teenage children have the use of the car,their parents can't keep any eye on them.There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs,or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws.Mothers of victims of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).These women want to prevent further tragedies.They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age.Students have formed a similar organization,SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.
For many Americans the automobile is a necessity (必需品).But for some,it is also a mark of social position and for young people,a sign of becoming an adult.Altogether,cars mean very much to Americans.
