Justin's bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.

       "What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

       When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack--a smaller version of his bedroom--a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.

       Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.

       "Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" he asked. "I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I'm late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked really worried.

       "Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."

       He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.

       "That's amazing!' Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.

       It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

68. Why is Justin's room such a mess?

    A. He always forgets to clean it.               B. He never throws anything away.

    C. He has no time to clean it.                  D. He shares the room with his brother.

69. In what way is Justin's backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?

    A. He uses it as a place to store objects.

    B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.

    C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.

    D. He's had it for as long as he can remember.

70. The underlined phrase "pleaded with" means

    A. ignored              B. asked               C. pushed              D. Ordered

71. How does Kenny feel toward Justin?

A. Annoyed.           B. Disinterested.          C. Grateful.            D. Angry.

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36   a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to   37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   38   time I had let such moments pass.

       When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked   39   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40   played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him   41     and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words   42   me.

       Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those    43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44   ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have   45   to me. Or what he might   46   to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

       What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48   never hearing him put his    49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?

       My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was   52   of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was   55   .

How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clearnight you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.

       You can see even more with a telescope. And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.

       But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.

      That's because they're invisible. They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.

       You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.

       As a star's gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

      As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe.

       Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump--the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything--even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That's why you see nothing but blackness.

       So next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there's more in the Sky than we can see! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes--the great mystery of space.

60. According to the article, what causes a star to die?

     A. As its gases run out, it cools down.                B. It has a collision with other stars.

C. It can only live for about a million years.     

D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.

61. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A. Black holes are dead stars.

    B. Black holes have gravity.

    C. Black holes are invisible.

    D. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.

62. W. hat happens AFTER a star dies?

    A. It becomes invisible.                          B. It fails to Earth.

    C. It burns up all of its gases.                     D. It becomes brighter and easier to see.

63. Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?

    A. Because most black holes are so far away.

    B. Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.

    C. Because as the star's gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.

    D. Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.

Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am absolutely amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information.
　　There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above.
　　With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not.
　　A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position. It is a provisional approach to all factual claims. In terms of processing information, a skeptic needs to be able to grasp reality and acquire knowledge about the environment that agrees with reason, logic, and evidence. In other words, as skeptics, when we hear a claim that may or may not be fantastic, we should say, "That's nice, prove it."

72．The writer implies that if we want to make some judgments about some information, the first thing that we should do is to .
A. ask for the information                  B. cut off all channels of information
C. receive and go through the information   D. become information "hermits"

73. What does the author say is the more reasonable approach to processing the information wave?
A. A skeptical approach.       B. A subjective approach.  

C. A cynical approach.         D. A philosophical approach.

74. What can we conclude from the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
　　  A. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too optimistic.
　　  B. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too pessimistic(opposite of optimistic).
　　  C. Skeptics take a position but cynics are extreme in their attitude.
　　  D. Skeptics reject all new ideas but cynics only reject some of them.
　 75. When faced with an incredible or fantastic claim, what shall we do according to the author?
　　  A. Ask questions and look for proof.   B. Ignore the information and its source.
　　  C. Change the subject immediately.

D. Try to consult an expert who knows the truth.
