第二节 完形填空
I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left 36 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 37 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 38 children from different races and religions played and studied 39 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's 40 from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 41 our differences. Perhaps，our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 42 or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we 'd 43 the countryside on our bicycles，hoping to 44 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 45 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I 46 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 47 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 48 but did not move off.

Even after two 51 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 52 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 53 without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people，regardless of race or religion, who will be 54 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and 55 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers". ks5u

第三部分 阅读理解
A
Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话）.ks5u
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
“I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
"For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
56. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
A. a church B. a bank C. a newspaper D. a magazine
57. Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
A. The donation amounted to €190,000. B. The donation was sent directly to his house.
C. The money will be used for his education. D. His mother felt astonished at the donation.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. the donator is a rich old man B. the donation will continue to come
C. the donation comes from the newspaper D. the donator will soon be found out
59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper. B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.
C. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes D. Robin Hood Returns to the City
B
At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
“You may wonder, Sir Percival," said Laura calmly, "if I am going to ask to be released (免除）from ray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much. ”
His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
“No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”
"Mine?” he said in great surprise. ”What reason could I have for withdrawing?”
"A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. "There is a change in me. ”
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
“What change?" he asked, trying to appear calm.
" When the promise was made two years ago", she said, “ my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?"
“I wish you to understand", Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”
“I will do both those things, " he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
"I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,’，she added quietly.
"No. You have said enough to make it the 高考资源网est wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.

Finally, a cell phone
That's ... a phone
With rates as low as $3.75 per week!
“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down，and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ... and the contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch --- with a phone I can actually use. ”
Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.
