(·福建龙岩质检一)China reported blistering growth for the last three months of 2009 ，raising expectations of interest rate increases and other measures to head_off inflation.

China has declared that it is recovering from the global economic crisis.

Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics，said Thursday the country's economy grew by 10.7 percent in the last three months of 2009.

Ma says China has managed to quickly hold back what he described as “the sliding of the national economy”. He says China has become the first country，on the whole，to achieve economic recovery and stabilization.

According to previous estimates, Ma says China's  gross domestic product for 2009 rose 8.7 percent，to nearly five trillion dollars.

This goes beyond the official growth rate target of eight percent. The government has long considered eight percent growth essential to create enough jobs for the country's more than one billion people.

At the same time, Ma says some problems and contradictions are natural.

Ma says the Chinese government will  give more priority  to  restructuring  economic  and  improving peoples' livelihood.

To reduce the effects of the global economic crisis that began in 2008 ，China loosened lending practices, cut interest rates and began massive spending programs. But the government wants to make sure those measures do not contribute to inflation, which can be politically sensitive in a country where hundreds of millions of people remain poor.

Beijing resident Ms Wang says she is worried. She says she thinks prices are rising really fast. She points to the price of cabbage, which has increased more than 10 times in the past year.

The head  of the  Chinese  Banking  Regulatory Commission, this week said the government will step up monitoring of banks and rein in lending to prevent speculative bubbles(投机泡沫) in real estate(房地产) and other assets.

The World Bank on Thursday released a report that predicts China's economy will grow by nine percent this year. This contrasts with forecasts of 2.5 percent growth rate for the United States and one percent growth for European economies in , because of weaknesses remaining from the global financial crisis.

64．What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?

A. Prevent.         B. Begin. 

C. Continue.       D. Reduce.

65．How many measures did China take to reduce the sliding of the national economy?

A. 2.      B. 3. 

C. 4.     D. 5.

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     ．

Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun  36  --- to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were   37  . When the students  38   their assignment, she found that most of them drew some pictures of their parents, teachers, brothers, sisters, friends or neighbors. “What   39   students! How wonderful the pictures are!” She thought.

   Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a   40  boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and __41__. He seldom __42__ with other children during the break __43__ they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and encouraged him to be confident and have a good time with his classmates. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a __44__. Nothing else. His abstract image _45__ the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand，for mother’s hand gives children warmth and __46__. Another child guessed it was a farmer’s hand, because farmers raise turkeys. Still others thought it was a police officer’s hand, because the police __47__ people and care for people. And so the discussion __48__.

   When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk, __49__, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “ It’s __50__, teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was __51__ and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She __52__ how often she had said to him, “Take my __53__, Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.”

   The story speaks of __54__ thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and

parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the children like Douglas. They might not always say “__55__” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you reach out to give them love and be grateful to you always.
