One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 26 me but needs me to work in Brazil.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 31 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 32 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

Back home, I 39 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she 40 to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 41 . I learnt how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 42.
My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the 43 has really taught me. Sacrifices 44 in the end. The separation between us has proved to be a 45 for me.

四、 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Last night’s meteor (流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.
“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animals casualties (伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.
46. It happened last night that _____.
A. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching
B. the meteors flew past before being noticed
C. the city light show attracted many people
D. the meteor watching ended up a social outing
47. What do the astronomers complain about?
A. Meteor showers occur less often than before.
B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair.
C. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.
D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.
48. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A. Birds may take other migration paths.
B. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.
C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.
D. Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.
49. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to _____.
A. lessen the chance of getting cancer
B. create an ideal observation condition
C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D. enable all creatures to live in harmony
50. What message does the author most want to give us?
A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.
B
When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love, marriage, birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated.(复杂的)
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
51.As people grow older, they
A. feel it harder to experience happiness               
B. associate their happiness less with others               
C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness                
D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness
52.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. She cares little about her own health.               
B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling.               
C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.                 
D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.
53.What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?
A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.               
B. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case.                
C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings.                
D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life.
54.People who equal happiness with wealth and success .
A. consider pressure something blocking their way               
B. stress their right to happiness too much               
C. are at a loss to make correct choices                 
D. are more likely to be happy
55.What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.               
B. Each man is the master of his own fate.               
C. Success leads to happiness.
D. Happy is he who is content.

五、阅读表达（共5小题； 每小题2分， 满分10分）
Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into braille(盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises(事业) foe more than 40 years.
After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her. Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous ---she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB’s word factory.
In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’ contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years--- and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.
“For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I’ve found them all here.”
56. What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB? (no more than 10 words)
57. Why did Low learn braille? (no more than 15 words)
58. What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean? (1 word)
59. What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB? (no more than 15 words)
60. What do you think of Low? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words)
