The story was of a boy - now in his sixties - and his quest to find an American soldier who had 38 a kindness to him by 39 some food. It might seem 40-,but to this child, who had seen nothing but 41 and inhumanity for_42 he could remember, it was a 43 that marked a turning point in his life, for he had lost hope .When he was liberated by the American forces, he was dying. He， 44 needed food. As he was staggering along the road ,a young soldier 45 down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. 46 this one act of generosity, a kind American had aroused the 47 again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never 48 it. The boy later went to America, raised a family , became successful and worked hard to repay the 49 he had received with his own. Actually there were so many similar acts of generosity that it would be almost impossible to know 50 who the soldier was. We all have a choice: to create more light in the world.

LEAF BLOWER AND VAC B. ELECTRIC WEED SWEEPER C. TWO WHEELED WHEELBARROW D. POWERFUL 2-IN-1 LAWN RAKE AND SCARIFIER B A report from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Commission reveals that, due to a job market which disproportionately rewards graduates in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields, more and more students are seeking degrees in business and hard-science subjects. Some institutions have responded by cutting budgets in the arts and humanities and directing those funds elsewhere. Thats the wrong thing to do. The humanities-the study of languages , literature, history, philosophy, religion, ethics, etc.-and the arts are vital to our future. We should be investing more funds, more time and more expertise, not less, into these endeavors. What detractors（詆毀者） of the "soft" subjects miss is that the arts and humanities provide an essential framework and context for understanding the wider world. Studying the humanities strengthens the ability to communicate and work with others. It allows students to develop broad intellectual and cultural understanding; it nurtures creativity and deepens participation in public discourse and modem democracy. The commissions report points out that "at the very moment when China is seeking to adopt our model of broad education in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences as a stimulus to invention, the United States is instead narrowing our focus and abandoning our sense of what education has been and should continue to be - our sense of what makes America great." These are the telling statistics: First, federal funding for helping American students include international training in their education has been cut 41 percent in four years. Second, the National Assessment of Educational Progress test shows that only less than a quarter of eighth- and 12th-grade US students are proficient in reading, writing and civics. How can we possibly equip the US for its leadership role in an increasingly connected world if we are not adequately teaching students to communicate and helping them understand and encounter diverse perspectives? If we fail to invest in the arts and humanities, our countrys future leaders will not have the ability to connect on an emotional level with others. This ability is developed by studying the humanities, and in the global community this skill is not optional - its essential. In a word, we must enthusiastically support and fund the study of the arts and humanities. For anyone concerned with how this translates into a sound economy and a sound financial future, simply recall what Steve Jobs told graduates of Standford University in 2005: One of the most influential experiences in his brief time at Reed College was his exposure to the fine art of calligraphy（書(shū)法） It taught him the important lesson of the relationship between discipline and creativity.58. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Business and hard-science subjects are based upon the arts and humanities. B. At present too much emphasis and investment are put on science in America. C. More students will learn the arts and humanities instead of science in the USA. D. China has spent more money in the humanities and social sciences than the USA.59. The author mentions Steve Jobs in the last paragraph to prove that _. A. science has a close relationship with the arts and humanities B. investment in the and and humanities promotes economic development C. calligraphy plays a determining role in Steve Jobs accomplishment D. Reed College supports and funds the study of the arts and humanities60. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage? A. Significance of arts and humanities B. Key qualities of future leaders C. Decline of arts and humanities D. Rise and fall of hard sciencesC Fuel Cell Technology for Cars Fill her up with hydrogen? Thats what someCalifornia motorists may be saying soon, as car makers tryto speed up production of zero emission（零排放） cars tomeet state requirements in the near future. Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking HondasFCX Concept Vehicle sits an electro-chemical reactor: ahand built, astronomically expensive power plant knownas a fuel cell. Its expected to be running ordinary family cars on Californias roads within three years. So what exactly is a fuel cell, anyway? Why are governments, private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell, very simply described, is a power generator, making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently, without pollution, Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels, the only by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water. To be more technical about it, a hydrogen atom with its one electron, attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane（膜） to unite with an oxygen atom. The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton（質(zhì)子） to pass through, forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side. This creates electricity, water, and heat, but no exhaust emissions. If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen, it has the potential to be up t0 80-percent efficient, That is, it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy. However, we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work. This is accomplished by the electric motor. A reasonable number for the efficiency of the motor is about 80 percent. So we have 80-percent efficiency in generating electricity, and 80-percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power. That gives an overall efficiency of about64 percent. Hondas FCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60-percent energy efficiency, which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars. But in spite of all the advantages described above, experts say, "We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly, the way customers expect it to work. There are challenges in using new fuels, and providing the new fuel basic facilities. And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road, there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up with the flammable gas, under 36-hundred pounds of pressure."61. What can be inferred from Californias "zero emissions policy"? A. New cars with fuel cell technology will surely become much cheaper. B. By carrying out the policy, traffic will not be so busy as it is now. C. The quality of life in California will improve once this policy is in effect. D. With facilities of new kinds, more local employment will be created.62. What does the phrase "power plant" refer to? A. A power device generating electricity. B. A power station providing electricity. C. A power component consuming electricity. D. A power engine using electricity.63. One of the reasons why fuel cell powered vehicles are superior is that . A. they give out almost no water or heat B. they run faster and more smoothly C. they give out almost no noise D. they turn 64% of the energy into electricity64. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Customers will not think it a good idea to develop fuel cell technology. B. It is still not very easy to speed up production of zero emission cars. C. We cant ignore the financial problems to build a network of hydrogen stations. D. We still have much difficulty turning all the chains of the business into reality.D We have all heard the expression: "Remember to stop and smell the roses." But, how often do we really take time out of our hectic fast-paced lives to notice the world around us? I am as guilty as anyone of tuning out the world in this manner, especially when I am driving on Californias overcrowded streets. A short time ago, however, I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world has kept me from being fully aware of the bigger world picture around me. I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red. "All right," I thought to myself, "I can beat the next light if I race ahead of the pack ."My mind and car were in auto pilot, ready to go when suddenly my trance was broken by an unforgettable sight. A young couple, both blind, were walking arm-in-arm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing by in every direction. The man was holding the hand of a little boy , while the woman was clutching a baby sling to her chest, obviously carrying a child. Each of them had a white cane extended, searching for clues to navigate them across the crossroads. Initially I was moved. They were overcoming what I felt was one of the most feared handicaps-blindness. "Wouldnt it be terrible to be blind?" I thought. Without realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right the path of oncoming cars. I was frightened for them because I didnt know if the other drivers understood what was happening. As I watched from the front line of traffic (I had the best seat in the house), I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes. Every car in every direction came to a simultaneous stop. I never heard the screech of brakes or even the peep of a car horn. Nobody even yelled, "Get out of the way!" Everything froze. In that moment, time seemed to stand still for this family. Amazed , I looked at the cars around me to verify that we were all seeing the same thing, I noticed that everyones attention was also fixed on the couple. Never skipping a beat, the couple adjusted their course as they followed the coaching. Trusting their white canes and the calls from some concerned citizens, they made it to the other side of the road. As they arrive
