I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability.

It is like this. 61 you are going to have a baby, it ’s like preparing a vacation trip to Italy. You 62 a bunch of guidebooks and make wonderful 63 . You may learn some useful phrases 64 Italian. It ’s all very exciting. 65 several months of eager expectation, the day finally 66 . You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours 67 , the plane lands in Holland. ―Why Holland? ‖ you say, ―I sign up 68 Italy! All my life I ’ve dreamed 69 going to Italy. ‖ But you have landed in Holland and 70 you must stay.

The importance thing is to remember that they haven ’t taken you 71 a horrible, disgusting, filthy place. It ’s just a 72 place. So you go out and new guidebooks 73 you must learn a whole new language. Holland may be slower-paced 74 Italy. But you have been there for a while, you 75 that Holland has windmills and tulips( 郁金 香). Everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy, and they all boasting about 76 a wonderful time they had there. And for the 77 of your life you will say, ―Yes, that’s where I was 78 to go ‖. But if you spend your life 79 the fact that you didn ’t get to Italy, you may never be free to 80 the very special, the very lovely things about Holland.71、

2.Toronto:A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday, on one of the busiest days of the year. Though no one was hurt, the dangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by noting more than a four-foot fence.The escape occurred after one of the animal’s handlers left the pen gate open. It promoted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger. General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. “ I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn’t have to”, Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brave escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo’s 28th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donation of food that does not easily go bad. Thousands of people attend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.The best title for the news report is ____.

3.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities withthe highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have alot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong socialties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner"s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in theseregions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi-astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean, youwon't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup oftea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wildsage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的)properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

Just a year old, themonthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47,the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryanachance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult shortfiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are youngerpeople outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month.That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like itssiblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It's not about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. "Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business.

11.根据以下资料，回答103-106题。 　　The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC. 104 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to __.

Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a46in number．Human beings are born with this ability．47, Experiments show that many animas are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not48．However, if you remove two, the bird49leaves．This means that the bird knows the50between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human60is not much better than a crow’s.50A.distance,B.range,C.difference,D.interval

19.When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he lovesyou.And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for theirfood. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language toooften. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller thanthat of dogs'.In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato.rs" refers to __________ .
