17、w will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden comer where I can t stop crying. Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment Pull yourself together! I tell myself There are parents sending their kids

18、 off to battle zones, How dare l feel so shattered? One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my fat

19、her and me, After my parents divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to enjoy the days activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening. Now, standing among Matthews accumulation of possessions, I realize its me who has becom

20、e a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,

21、 Daddy, I dont think I need a blanket tonight. I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. Ill never have to worry about that again, I realize. For his part, Matthew has been a rock He is tre

22、ating his leaving as just another day at the office And Im glad. After all, someones got to be strong, Im proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence 24.

23、ull up. D. Wake up. 25. What can we infer about Mathew from the text? A He hates sleeping early. B. He doesnt get on well with his father. C. He is ready for the new life D.

Unconditional LoveC The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an experience machine to refute the view that good experiences are all we want f

25、rom life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. But why? he encouraged us to ask There was no such thing as virtual(虚拟的) reality(VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question rais

26、ed by Nozick has become a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit? One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience

27、are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure. Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear

28、 but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is. Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist informatio

29、n, perhaps even discover what have been missed. Computer simulations（模拟） , however good, contain only what have been put into them. There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Vie

30、wing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius. Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be excit

31、ing, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will never be a substitute for connections with the real thing.28. What does the underlined word refute in Paragraph l mean？ A Contradict. B. Express. C. Prove. D. Correct,29. What does the author think of virtual reality? A. It can benefi

32、t people in certain aspects. B. It will be smart enough to satisfy our needs. C. It cannot cause feelings of fear or happiness. D. It cannot help us understand what has happened30. How many reasons are mentioned to support the preference for reality? A. Two. B.Three. C. Four. D. Five.31. Which of th

33、e following is the best title for the text? A. What VR Cannot Offer B. How VR Changes Our life C. How VR Is Different from Reality D. Why VR Cannot Match the Real Thing D Feathers are not just for flight. They keep birds warm and attract mates. And for one Australian bird, feathers even help produce

34、 an important sound-an alarm. “People had long noticed these birds produced these loud sounds. ” Trevor Murray, a researcher at the Australian National University said. My supervisor Rob Magrath and May Hingee thought they were used as an alarm. So they did some playbacks and they could show quite s

35、trongly that if you play back these sounds to other birds, they lee straightaway. So I was really interested in how they produce the sound, whether it is actually a signal, and whether its a reliable signal. The team focused their experiment on specific feathers in the pigeons wing. We were able to

36、target(目标) the eighth primary feather, which is unusually narrow. And then we also removed, on different sets of birds, those neighboring feathers, the ninth primary feather and the seventh primary feather. And we were able to see when the eighth primary feather was missing, the high note had comple

37、tely disappeared. So the eighth primary feather produced that high note and the ninth primary feather actually produced the low note. And if the birds are fleeing from danger, they produce a louder and higher sound than they do during a normal takeoff. The study is in the journal Current Biology. Mu

38、rray and his colleagues did another experiment where they used the recordings they made to observe the reactions of other pigeons. We were able to see the unusual eighth primary feather was important for signaling alarm. When that eighth primary feather was missing, they very rarely responded. They

39、almost never fled. Whereas when that ninth primary produces the sound, they fled just as much as to normal alarms. This shows us this unusual primary feather is important for signaling alarm. That makes birds of a feather flee together.32. What does the underlined word 64they in Paragraph 2 refer to

40、? A. The birds. B. Rob and May. C. The feathers. D. The loud sounds.33. What did Rob Magrath and May Hingee find out about the birds? A. They fly away as a group. B. They produce different notes. C. They send alarms with feathers. D. They attract mates with feathers.34. Why did the team remove diffe

41、rent feathers？ A. To record the notes they produce. B. To keep the pigeons stay in cages. C. To compare their width and length. D. To observe other pigeons reactions.35. According to Murray and his colleagues, why does the unusual feather matter most? A. It keeps the pigeons warm. B. It responds to

42、alarms. C. It helps birds fly more quickly. D. It sounds alarms of danger.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class. 36 .

43、at school:First, 37 . In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can be the biggest time- suck for most students.
