So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered shyly. “The beach wax lovely. And I can swim too!”“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother, “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said, “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well ---” the woman looked at the child. “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”“A four –year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs …let me see … $13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe $1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.39. Harry started talking to the little girl ___________A.because he was in difficulty and did not know what to doB.because he had a little girl about the same age as this girlC.because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl.D.When he suddenly realized that he could find a way.40.

How did the woman feel when she left the office?A. angryB. embarrassedC. peacefulD. nervousCEdward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clean: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas.42. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about .A. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the waste of natural resourcesD. the importance of human values43. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty.B. EightyC. One hundred.D. Ten thousand.44. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to .A. learn how to farm scientificallyB. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eatD. use more species for food45. We can infer that the text is .A. a description of natural resourcesB. a research reportC. a book reviewD. an introduction to a scientistDThe need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). __46___ Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.47____ It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is unconditional. __48___ Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.__49__ Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “__50__”A.There are two types of love.B.I need you because I love you.C.Love is a way of overcoming the feelingD.Every one of us needs love.E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.G.These two types are quite different from each other.四．写作第一节短文改错Never shall I forget the first English lesson giving by Miss Liu.
