Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to  26  in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the  27  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too  28  for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of   29  .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there  30  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had  32  her. I was  33  and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it  34  , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   35  . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen     36  , but it’s really there. Love is  37 .”
I listened carefully but I  38  her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly  39  seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked  40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father   41  on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t  42  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”  43  his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and  44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just  45  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

(·上海春招)A 69­year­old grandmother with  no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal  battle to stop a Scottish regional council(政务委员会) adding fluoride(氟化物)chemical to the public water  supply.

In a case which has already cost the taxpayer £1,000,000,the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.

At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said, “I did what I thought was right and I would do it again,too.”She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup.“Where would it stop?”she asked.“They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.”It was a horrible poison,she said,that could have caused all kinds of diseases,including cancer.

The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence  to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on public health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on  the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its  use was greatly favoured by the dental profession, he  could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs McColl in particular,might be passionately opposed  to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the  right to improve public well­being without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority's legal duty to provide“wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink,did not,he said,extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means.

63. Mrs McColl felt so strongly about the fluoride issue that she eventually ________.

A. took the local council to court

B. had a physical fight with the judge

C. urged the authority to apologize

D. spent much money removing the chemical

64.According to what the judge said in the passage, adding fluoride to the water________.

A. was not proved to be harmful

B. was the duty of the local authority

C. was strongly opposed by dentists

D. was surely beneficial to the public

65.The word“wholesome”in the last paragraph can be best replaced by the word“________”.

A. clear       B. poisonless

C. healthy           D. recycled

passage we learn that people like Mrs McColl are more concerned about________.

A. the improvement of their personal health

B. the problem of unemployment in their community

C. the chemicals to be used for the improvement of water quality

D. their right to be informed of the authorities' decisions

    Have you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier. This construction work went on for five centuries! If all the roads built during the Roman Empire were put together end to end, they would circle the equator twice.

    The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. The first layer was made of sand. Next, the builders added rocks and rubble. On top of these materials came gravel. On this solid foundation, the road builders placed paving stones.

    Also, Roman roads were cambered. This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag pattern to make the road rise gradually.

    All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousands paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.

    Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive accomplishments of the Roman Empire.

42. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?

 A. The Roman Empire was very powerful.

 B. Lots of roads were built during the Roman Empire.

C. The roads built during the Roman Empire were very long.

 D. The roads built during the Roman Empire were very convenient.

43. Which of the following correctly shows the structure of the Roman roads?

      A.                                                B.

                      

        C.                                         D.

                       

44. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.

A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers

B. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique abandoned today

C. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every other Roman mile

D. Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire

45. What information can you find on the milestones?

A. The builders of the road.                                   B. The materials used in building roads.

C. The distance from one city.                               D. The time spent in building roads.

46. The passage mainly ______.

A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”

B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievements
