Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell．Upon its    36   everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David

David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   37   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves．But something made David  38 ．I can still remember he was always   39   a smile and willing to help．He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He   40   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home

Weeks passed and the   41   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break．I smiled in   42   as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk．

"I have something for you．" he said and   43   from behind his back a small box．  44   it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it．" I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing．I looked at David's smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it's   45 ．"

"Oh no it isn't" said David．"It's full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn't see or touch unless you know it's there．"

Tears filled my eyes   46  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to．After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   47  the little empty box set on my desk．

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

1.Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.

B. He developed a chemical battery.

C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.

B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.

C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.

D. to introduce various energy sources.

3.Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste

B. test the power of nuclear batteries.

C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries

D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor

B. will soon replace the present ones.

C. could be extremely thin

D. has passed the final test.

5.The text is most probably a ________.

A. science news report  B. book review

PART FOUR   WRITING (45%)

 

Recently a man came to me, because he was told that there is fluid(积液) around his heart. After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid, the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation. He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause, the fluid would return. At last, he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄学治疗师), and he found me.

       The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends, whom he had known for over twenty years. This experience broke his heart. Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart, his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.

       Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends. Months later, his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared. He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.

       The key is: to create a healthy body, you must be healthy not only in body, but also in mind.

       To be mentally healthy, you need to build up strong relationships. Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons. It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits. Even when you are alone, you will not feel lonely or upset. Strong relationships are not spaceships——they are not hard to build.

1.In order to cure his illness, which of the following ways did the patient try?

        taking many medicines            ‚ having an operation

ƒ seeing a metaphysical healer     „ visiting different doctors

A. ‚ƒ                        B. ƒ                 C. ‚ƒ                     D. ‚ƒ„

2.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph5 refers to “________”.

       A. a mentally healthy body                         B. a repaired heart

       C. a network of loving persons                   D. a support system

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

       A. Loving others will keep you in good spirits.

       B. Heart illness can be cured without operation.

       C. Creating strong relationships will keep you healthy.

       D. Spiritual health is necessary for physical health.

4. Which of the following views may the writer agree to?

       A. Old friendship is easy to lose.                 B. A good friendship is a useful medicine

       C. The best doctor is your own body           D. It needs many efforts to build relationships

5.If this passage is continued with another paragraph, what would it be probably about?

       A. How to build strong relationships           B. How to protect your heart

       C. How to keep healthy mentally                D. How to live a healthy life

 

Hidden in our subconsciousness (意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw (拚图玩具) puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道) ,condemning the minutes for loitering-waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

‘‘When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry, “When I'm 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through co llege.” “When I have paid off!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! " Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

“Relish (appreciate) the moment" is a good motto, actually it isn't the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
