He began with a question. “Everything

25、 God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things as other children do. Where is Gods plan reflected in my son？” The audience was stilled by the question. The father continued，“I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world, an opportunity to r

26、ealize the Divine Plan presents itself. And it comes in the way people treat that child.” Then he told the following story： Shay and I walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked，“Do you think they will let me play？” I knew that most boys would not want him on thei

27、r team. Shay didnt even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, “We are losing by s

28、ix runs(得分). The game is in the eighth inning(回合). He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning.” In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the ou

29、tfield. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shays team scored again. They had the potential to win. Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. At last, understanding what the boys intentions had been, the boy

30、s from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero. “That day，” said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face，“the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world.”56Why did the father think most of the boys wouldnt let

31、_ join them?A. Because it was a very important game and they couldntafford to lose it.B. Because they knew Shay was physically disabled.C. Because they didnt get on well with Shay.来源: .ComD.

32、y, he was obviously very happy just to be on the field.” should be put t the end of _.A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 6C. Paragraph 8 D. Paragraph 958What can we infer from the passage?A. Shays team would have lost the game without him.B. The opponent team let Shay score purposely.C. It was quite by acc

33、ident that Shay scored.D. Shays team let him play because they didnt take the game seriously.59The underlined word “juncture” can be explained by _.A. a critical point B. a particular placeC. a dilemma D. an important gameBIf your parents take out a loan, remind themselves to make the payments on ti

34、me. Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in peoples daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend. According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to f

35、inance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university. A personal

36、credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in everyday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person. A credit rep

37、ort estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrowers overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of

38、a loan by the lender. Today in China, credit history in banks is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the Peoples Bank of

39、 China, the central bank. Personal information such as appearance, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to a draft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. T

40、he authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) public opinions. The Credit Reference Center run by the Peoples Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006. A personal credit rating is importa

51、oring law in a generation could also lead to all drivers having to give assurances(保证) of their fitness to get behind the wheel every 10 years.

52、vers whose medical condition brought a threat to other road users.

In 2006, the DVLA dealt with 600,000 motorists whose physical ability to drive needed to be recertified(重新认证), a 20 per cent rise on the previous year. With an ageing population

54、, the biggest challenge is dealing with the rising number of elderly motorists.

55、 the DVLA of any conditions that could weaken their ability behind the wheel. Ministers have ruled out a compulsory maximum age for driving but will instead rely on tightening up the checks on motorists over the age of 75.

56、They would include an eyesight test and a cognitive(认知) test that would prove a drivers ability to react to road signs, driving conditions, pedestrians and vehicles.

63、hed as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet. How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by

64、myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close. When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement（水泥）step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butt

It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. Finally its wing br

66、oke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.
