41 , Christmas morning arrived. There under the tree, with a big red bow around his neck, was my teddy bear. David’s 42 , however, was not there. I 43 how my parents could make my wish come true but not my brother’s.
“I 44 something,” my father said, as he went into the other room. When he came back he was 45 a bicycle.
On David’s face was a look of both delight and 46 . The bike was secondhand, which David didn’t 47 , but it was a girls’ bike. Boys did not ride girls’ bikes. Personally, I wouldn’t have 48 if it had come with pink bows on it – it was still a bicycle.

第三节： 阅读理解（共16小题; 每小题2分，满分32分）
阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Many of us have wondered what Earth is like beneath the surface. So have writers and scientists. In French novelist Jules Verne’s masterpiece Journey to the Center of the Earth, explorers go down to Earth’s center and discover amazing wonders.
But in real life, human beings haven’t even come close to the planet’s core (核心). The core is over 6,000 km down. The deepest hole ever created, according to the BBC, is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, which only goes 12.3 km down.
So how do we know about everything down below without any samples (样本)?
One good way to start is to think about the Earth’s density (密度), Simon Redfern of the University of Cambridge in the UK told the BBC.
“The density of the material on Earth’s surface is much lower than the average density of the whole Earth, so that tells us there’s something that has greater density,” Redfern said.
The challenge is to find out which heavy materials the core is made of. And the main material scientists have found is iron. The idea is that when Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, a lot of iron made its way down to the core, taking up about 80 percent of it. Today scientists are still working on finding out which other materials the core could be made up of.
You might also wonder how we know the size of the core. There’s a one-word answer: seismology (地震学).
When an earthquake happens, seismic stations around the world record the shockwaves it sends throughout the planet. It’s like hitting one side of the planet with a huge hammer (锤子) and listening on the other side for the noise.
Early research found that some shockwaves, called “S-waves”, went missing. S-waves can only travel through solid material, but not through liquid, so they must have found something molten in Earth’s center. By following the S-waves’ paths, scientists found out that rocks became liquid around 3,000 km down.
There are still many questions about the Earth’s core to answer. But the study of the dark world below isn’t just for scientists’ curiosity.
The movement of Earth’s molten iron core builds up a powerful magnetic (有磁力的) field. It protects us from radiation (辐射) from the sun and is needed for compasses (指南针) and GPS systems to work.
So perhaps none of us will ever set eyes on the core, but it’s good to know it’s there.

57. The author mentions Jules Verne’s novel Journey to the Center of the Earth in the first paragraph to ______.
A. discuss the possibility of going down to Earth’s center
B. show how much humans have discovered about Earth
C. paint a picture in our imagination of the dark world below
D. show humans’ deep interest in Earth’s center
58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about current research into Earth’s core?
A. Earth’s center is completely made up of iron.
B. Scientists have found samples of Earth’s core from the Kola Superdeep Borehole.
C. Scientists have no idea when and how iron made its way down to Earth’s core.
D. Earth has a higher density at its core than on its surface.
59. We can learn from the article that “S-waves” ______.
A. are often used to predict earthquakes
B. cannot travel through liquid material
C. are the most noticeable shockwaves produced by earthquakes
D. can travel most rapidly at 3,000 kilometers below Earth’s surface
60. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ______.
A. research into Earth’s core has hardly made any progress in recent years
B. improvements in GPS systems could help people find out more about Earth
C. Earth’s core helps to protect humans from harm
D. scientists are likely to reach Earth’s center within dozens of years

In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.
Jean’s father was a crop duster (喷粉机) pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to crop dust, make parachute (降落伞) jumps, and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was a “fairytale” and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was heartbroken and humiliated（羞辱的）.
The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said: “You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough.” One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. “If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?” Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams.
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Je
