While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he park
14、ed his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get
15、 groceries（食品杂货） ，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then cal
16、led my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from stran
17、gers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone car
18、es. And the results can be everlasting. 56Why was the bike so important to the couple?AThe mans job was bike racing. BIt was their only possession.CIt was a nice Kona 18 speed. DThey used it for work and daily life.57We can infer from the text that _.Athe couple worked 60 hours a week. Bpeople were
19、busy before ChristmasCthe stranger brought over the bike Dlife was hard for the young family.58How did people get to know the couples problem?AFrom radio broadcasts. BFrom a newspaper. CFrom TV news. DFrom a stranger.59What do the couple learn from their experience?AStrangers are usually of little h
20、elp. BOne should take care of their bike.CNews reports make people famous. DAn act of kindness can mean a lot. BMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses
21、 when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses,
22、 while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butte
23、rfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on th
24、e season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, su
25、ch as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _.Adepend on one sense in choosing food B are not satisfiedwith their food Cchoose food in similar ways Deat entirely d
26、ifferent food61. Which of the following eats only one type of food?AThe white butterfly. BThe small bird.CThe bear. DThe fox. 62Certain animals change their choice of food when _.Athe season changes Bthe food color changesCthey move to different places Dthey are attracted by different smells63We can
27、 learn from the last paragraph that _. Afood is chosen for a good reason BFrench and British food is goodCsome people have few choices of food Dsome people care little about healthy diet COur “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out i
28、n our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, Ill watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, Ill take
29、someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christies daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “Shes like a different chi
30、ld when theres no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didnt have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For exa
31、mple, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesnt stutter once during our activities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, whos always a follower when around other children s
32、hines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child -talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a which.64What is the text mainly about?AThe experienc
33、e of the only child being with mother.BThe advantage of spending time with one child at a time.CThe happy life of two families.DThe basic needs of children.65Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _.Ahappy Bcurious Cregretful Dfriendly66What is one of the changes the author finds in

37、whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work.

44、asmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queen
45、sland did not do so until 1989.Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals.

46、the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities.
