I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alone in a small trailer (拖车式活动房）in California, 500 miles away from me. The real 37 betwe

22、en us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but 38 I promised to be there the next day.The whole drive down, 39 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海军陆战队队员）. He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung th

23、em so there was 40 the same spacing between them. But we neednt 41 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered 42 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 43 at me, “You cant do anything right!”Standing outside his trailer

24、, I tried to 44 my courage to face him one more time. Slowly, I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 45 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and frustrated. This wasnt the angry and 46 man I had known growing up. This man was 47 and seemed bro

25、ken. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me was thinking this was exactly the fate he 48 .“God, what am I supposed to do now?” I wondered. But as soon as the words 49 me, a sense of sorrow 50 me, and I knew that I had to take him to my home. It was the 51 part I struggled with. The da

26、ys of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings Id been 52 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible

27、 peace, as if every 53 had been lifted from me. 54 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.It has been eight years since father died. Now when I think of him, those are the moments I remember, which are, as I put on Dads headstone, Gods amaz

You may also check in 15kgs. of luggage not later than 30 minutes before departure,

32、 a8t no extra charge.If you would like to charter a train, or make reservations for over 25 passengers travelling together, call the Sales Department.OUR TIMETABLE IS GUARANTEEDIf the arrival of your train at your destination is delayed by more than 5 minutes according to the timetable, we will refu

35、.58.

Christine Williams admits that now. She could

36、 barely put one foot after another following the wake(守灵) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country

37、 championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her un

38、iform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sisters wake and her funeral. “I kind of got upset beforehand.” Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the bett

39、er. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “She said my sister would have wanted me to run.” Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.T

40、he accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown

41、and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released.The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach,

42、and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Ch

43、ristine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breakin

44、g the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team didnt qualify for the nationals, Christine did.59. The efforts Christines Post team made for her include the following EXCEPT _.A. offering car service and flight tickets to BostonB. arranging for a substitute f

45、or her beforehandC. taking care of her food and uniformsD. cheering for her during the race60. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Christines two sisters were killed in the accidentB. Christines athletic performance stood out in the raceC. Christine flew to Boston after her sisters funeralD. Chr

46、istine broke the Post record in national meet in Boston61.What is the crucial factor contributing to Christines success in the race?A. Diligent practice.B. Excellent coaching.C. Good relationships.D. Firm determination.CThe most complex object known to humanity is the human brain and not only is it

47、complex, but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of. To try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. But you have to start somewhere, and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de

48、Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”, one of the brains building blocks.In a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neo-cortical（新大脑皮质的）column on a type of IBM super

49、computer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. If that works, they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics（模仿) a brain.In a real brain, a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical（圆柱形的）element about a third of a

50、millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. It is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb, which make up the famous “grey matter” that has become shorthand for human intelligence. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough

51、independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.The EPFLs contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulati

52、on. Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. They will do so by assigning electrical properties（电能）to them, and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another dependi

53、ng on their activity.That will be no mean feat. Even a single nerve cell is complicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. And nerve cells come in great varietyrelying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections. Even

54、tually, however, a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moores Law, the leader of IBMs side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years. Such an artificial b

55、rain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a “web lab” to be conducted in seconds. The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological, disorders develop. But

56、that is probably not the real reason for doing it. The most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both.62. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column _.A. looks like the cells of a honeycombB. is a simulation of a structureC. is the famou

57、s “grey matter”D. contains a large number of nerve cells63. What does the underlined sentence “That will be no mean feat” in Paragraph 5 indicate?A. It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.B. The function of chemical transmitters is hard to understand.C. A digital representat

58、ion of an entire column is time-consuming.D. A single nerve cell is complicated to identify across connections.64. The fundamental purpose of doing the research is probably _.A. to simulate an entire human brain in silicoB. to tell us how some certain disorders emergeC. to discover how the artificia

59、l brain would workD. to examine whether Moores Law is still functioning65. What type of writing is this passage?A. A science fictionB. A research reportC. An official documentD. A computer advertisementDIn less than 60 years the people of my tribe have gone from being an independent nation, to cultu

60、ral prisoners, to welfare recipients (享有者) . Is it any wonder that there are so many problems facing indigenous (土著的) Australians today?When I was growing up in Kowanyama there were 15 people in my class, I am the only one who has gone to university. Im also the only girl in my class who did not hav

61、e a child at 15. Of the boys in my class, seven have been incarcerated, two for murder, five for robbery and rape. Only three of us are not alcoholics. Four of my classmates have committed suicide.Life as a young aborigine is not easy, in any setting. The story of my fellow students is a lesson in t

62、he magnitude of the problems that young indigenous people in Cape York face.The two issues that are central to changing this story are education and health. There is a huge gap between what we get in communities and what other kids get in cities.One of the problems facing education in remote indigen

63、ous schools is that teachers tend to be just out of training and stay for only a year or two. Not one teacher stayed for the whole of my nine years at schoolnot even the principals. This seeming lack of commitment makes you feel they dont care.We need to review the curriculum in these communities be

64、cause it is pitched at a very low level. I have had to draw the conclusion that governments and educationalists see us as less than white people.Education should be uplifting, not serve to reinforce lack of self-esteem and the heart-wrenching low expectations that our race suffer from.We need a mass

65、ive reassessment of,education policies and an equally massive investment in education. We have spent so long listening to some white fellows telling us we are stupid, lazy no-hopers that the majority of my people actually believe it.The relationship between poor education and poor health is clear. P

66、eople whose self-esteem and pride have been destroyed by a substandard education system and a social system that creates an addiction to passive welfare have little reason to live healthy lives. Our health is getting worse.The policies that determine the delivery of health services are deeply flawed

67、 by a bureaucracy (官僚作风) that does not want to hear our voices. Health services are often confined to the clinic.It is problems and challenges such as these that led me to stand in last Octobers ATSIC election. ATSITC is more than the board of commissioners and the Canberra bureaucracy. ATSIC is als

68、o people who are from community and work hard for community.We recognize that governments cannot solve our problems for us. As young people we are trying to take responsibility for our future. I ask the Prime Minister, not that he fixes these problems for us but that he and his Government see us as

69、equal partners in the huge task of rebuilding our families, communities and Cape York Peninsula.He demonstrated his commitment by engaging his Government at the family and domestic violence summit. My view is that the level of domestic violence and child abuse sums up all that has been wrong with Ab

70、original policy.We need a new relationship to address this frightening reality in our lives. Aboriginal people are reluctant to admit that young girls and women are being raped by their own people because of the blanket of shame.*I am asking you to help lift that blanket.I stand here as a proud Abor

71、iginal woman, a Kokoberra woman as well as a criminologist, and I thank you for your time and attention.Tania Major, 22, is an ATSIC regional councilor and a trainee manager at her home community of Kowanyama on Cape York.This is an edited version of an address she is scheduled to give at a meeting

72、between the Prime Minister and Cape York leaders (full text at smh. com. an).66. Which of the following words can best describe Tanias tone?A. regretful B. depressed C. serious D. Humorous67. The underlined word “incarcerated” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_.A. criticizedB. killedC. dismiss

73、edD. imprisoned68. We can infer from the passage that in Australia_.A. few teachers are willing to work in indigenous schools because they are poorly paidB. the curriculum in indigenous schools has to be easier otherwise the students will failC. the undereducated aborigines are considered to be lazy

74、 and dependent on welfareD. a good education can help the aboriginal people to learn to set high expectations69. Who. do you think are Tanias audience?A. Aboriginal people.B. Young boys and girls in Kowanyama.C. Teachers and principals.D. The prime minister and the Cape York leaders. .70. What is th

75、e main idea of the passage?A. ATSIC doesnt serve the people because of its incompetence and bureaucracy.B. The aboriginal people can learn to be responsible for their future if treated equally.C. The government has adopted fresh policies related to the delivery of health services.D. The biggest prob

76、lems facing the aboriginal people are domestic violence and child abuse.第II卷 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。 You cannot underestimate how much this fuels your commitment.

In one

86、such experiment, a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days. One group was consistently praised for its previous performance; another group was criticized; the third was ignored. Not surprisingly, those who were praised improved dramatica

Interestingly，the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise, but the less able children reacted badly to criticism, who needed praise the
