2．After spending a weekend away with my adult son，I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter．
Dear son，
      I want to thank you for teaching me a very（36）Dlesson in life by the great example you（37）C．When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had（38）A his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it，without any（39）A，you went over and put the（40）C2 dollars into his hand．
      When we were leaving，you（41）Dthrew a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said（42）Dlike，"Some kid will really enjoy（43）Athis．"
      Last week，a young man （44）Cme in the line at a petrol station didn't have（45）Dmoney to pay for his petrol．I asked the money collector，"How much（46）Cis he？"She told me he had meant to put 15dollars of petrol in his car （47）Bhe had been looking at the wrong gauge（计量表） and had put in 15（48）A，which came to just over（49）B．That is an easy mistake （50）Bboth gauges run fast．
      Something made me think of you and（51）Ayou did that night at the café in Bondi．I handed the man 6dollars．He was so（52）Band said，"But why would you do this for me？"I just smiled as I thought of you．
     Thank you，son，for teaching me that"it's（53）Bto give than receive"．Now when I see a five-cent coin on the（54）Cand want to pick it up，I think of you and leave it（55）A，just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it．
Love always，Mum

17．A recent study，while showing a generally positive attitude toward science，also suggests a widespread worry that it may be"running out of control"，This idea is dangerous．
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good．Its applications can be channeled either way，depending on our decisions．The decisions we make，personally or collectively，will determine the outcomes of science．But here is a real danger．Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference．And，rather than fighting for the best possible policies，we may step back and do nothing．
Some people go even further．They say that despite the moral and legal objections（反对），whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere，sometime．They believe that science will get out of control in the end．This belief is dangerous too，because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world．
In our interconnected world，the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science．Without a common understanding，the challenges of"controlling"science in this century will be really tough．Take human cloning for example．Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact（影响）on traditional moral values，some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques．The outcomes are hard to predict．
Therefore，discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies．Only through the unties efforts of people with hope，can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future．

72．What can we conclude from the recent study？B
A．People think highly of science．
B．People hold mixed opinions about science．
C．Science is getting dangerously out of control．
D．Science is used for both good and bad purposes．
73．According to the passage，what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control？C
A．The development of science will hopelessly slow down．
B．Businesses will have even greater influence on science．
C．The public will lose faith in bringing about  a bright future．
D．People will work more actively to put science under control．
74．The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies becauseD
A．scientists have fails to predict the outcomes
B．the ties between different areas need strengthening
C．united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D．people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
75．What is the main idea of the passage？B
A．Science and its applications bring us many dangers．
B．The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes．
C．Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts．
D．The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas．
16．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment-friendly sport．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．
