14、n changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery

15、”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience.

16、side that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper

17、milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.

22、that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an es

23、say competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothin

24、g. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gath

The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instruc

26、ted me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.

27、st floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it. 源:学#科#网Z#X#X#KSkydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will l

31、am made come true.C. An unforgettable skydiving.D. I Went Skydiving at 84!CAn idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addit

32、ion to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the I

33、f All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on telev

34、ision to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting awa

35、y on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or i

36、t may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched b

37、y the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.36. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.

40、 Paragraph 5 probably mean .A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experience D. used the same language40. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the wri

41、tersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsDWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on cond

42、itions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread

43、 of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without know

44、ledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessi

45、ons. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecastin

46、g and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus o

47、n what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might n

48、ot exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.41. Why does the author

49、mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion.D. To describe the conditions on Earth.42. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to f

50、ight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.43. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_.A. survival chancesB. unexpected benefits C. potential resourcesD. physical possessions44.

51、er planets?A. The adaptive ability of humans.B. Resources on the earth.C. Our genetic makeup. D. By-products in space exploration.45. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.

For another, lack of experience, teenagers need some help and support in making decisions or solving problems.

In return they appreciate my attitude so much that they are always ready to offer me valuable advice, which benefits me a lot in this special time of development.
