Big things were happening in my life the summer after I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents shook my whole world and turned it upside down when they told me they were getting a divorce(离婚). I couldn't believe that our family was going to 36 . Though I always knew my parents weren't very happy and they often 37 , I still wanted my family to stay the same.
My life changed completely 38 the divorce. My mother and I moved into a small apartment across town, 39 my father and brother, Bill , stayed in our house. I now became a visitor whenever I went to see my dad and Bill on the weekends. And immediately I had my soon-to-be stepfather( 继 父), Dan , whom I showed no 40 in. I was upset, especially after Dan and my mother married and I realized that there was no 41 that things could change back to the way they were.

up on me. Gradually I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in 43 , especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We 44 a lot of time together hanging out watching TV. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other.
Better still , Dan showed an interest in me that I had never experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed advice on school or friends. Once I began to warm up to Dan , the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. Finally, I discovered that I had the happy family that I had always wanted.
I now realize my parents were 45 about getting the divorce. Their divorce was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness-he remarried and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle.

Four beggars ( 乞丐) usually met at an old shack (小窝棚) at the end of the day. One day, they were very upset because none of them had got much in their begging bowls.
“I only got this piece of meat today,” the first said. “ I hardly got anything,” the second said. “ I just picked up these few vegetables outside the fruit and vegetable store.” The third complained that all he had been given was a handful of herds (香草) that he couldn’t eat on his own. The fourth beggar had not done much better. “ I only got the handful of old, dried beans, but they aren’t very nice!”
As they sat around the fire, one of them had a great idea. “Let’s put all our bits together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed.
However, the first beggar thought: “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend (假装) to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. Now the same idea had also hit the other beggars and the shack was so dark that no one could see what the others were doing. Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should now be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to a bowl. They drank the hot water in absolute(绝对) silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn’t taste all that good.
49. How much did the four beggars get that day?
A. Nothing. B. Only a little.
C. A lot of food.
D. A lot of money.
50. Why was the fourth beggar upset?
A. Because he got nothing from people.
B. Because the other beggars didn’t agree with him.
C. Because many people laughed at him. 51. What’s the main idea of the story?
A. Only poor people can become good friends. C. The beggars shared a special dinner.
D. Because the beans were old and dried.
B. Selfishness is good for nothing. D. Silence can make everything taste good.

①The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits ( 好 处 ) to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
②Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application ( 应用) of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
③The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science —a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science —a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
④Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction (大规模杀伤武器) has created a real danger to the continued existence (存在) of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
⑤William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill together.” The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities — science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war? 52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
53. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer (推断) that .
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious (焦虑的) about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth 54. The underlined word \A.simple B.mixed C.sad D.happy 55. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write? A.Further application of science to war.
. B.More reading of William Shakespeare. C.Proper use of science in the new century. D.Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country to realize the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, \ through his mind.
\?\
\ died years ago,\
\回忆) about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it,\\
\ life,\
\ teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I'll be there for the funeral.\
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.
\?\ \\?\
\ what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most',\
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
\
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. \
Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside.
\ life.\ box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.
