Sometimes giving someone a helping hand is just simple．But sometimes it works like a 36 that opens a door to a whole new world of understanding．
Living in a small all-white 37 in the Midwest, my family and I were 38 that we were safe from the race riots （暴乱） in some larger cities．That 39 when I began working at a bank in a larger city nearby．My family 40 gave me advice on whom to avoid, what situation to stay away, and how to 41 myself．
On a snowy 42 after work, I guided my second-hand car out onto the street and knew 43 I didn't have to stop, it would keep running．The battery needed replacing．
However, as I expected the car choked and died at a red light．Fortunately, to my 44 ，I saw a pair of headlights coming up．But 45 three young black men jumped out of the car, I could hardly 46 - fear filled me．
The driver came to my windows and asked if I needed help．I 47 for a moment and then nodded．The fellows crowded around at once and 43__ working．As one of them connected the two engines by cables, my nerve （神经） jumped with so much electricity I think I could have charged the 49 and brought it back to life．But thankfully they 50 completed the project．
I pulled out a few 51 from the purse, "It's all I have but it's yours, I appreciate the help．Thank you．"
The driver must have seen the 52 still in my eyes because he smiled, seeming to be 53 by my panic, and then waved his hand, "You 54 it．Just glad to help．"

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
"Mama! Mama!" My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited, I-just-discovered-something -huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table．
"Look, a tree!" He yells again．I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli （西兰花） for us to see．"Oh honey," I laugh and begin to protest, "That is bro．．．" But I stop．
As my son grows up, I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher -the kind who overcorrects．
I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say, "No．that is not right．" in the name of promoting knowledge．Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm, I have no desire to fix it．
Instead, I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world, in which stuffed （毛绒的） animals attend story times, flies are fascinating creatures, and red balloons share secrets．
At our dinner table, I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation．He is smiling．His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement．
Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name．I say, "Wow, look!" pointing at his plate, "You have many trees in your rice!"
He laughs happily, his lovely face redder．
"So, how many trees can you eat?" I ask him, breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have: forming healthy eating habits．
He playfully puts one after another into his mouth, delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate．

Daily Telegraph - An enormous number of sardines （沙丁鱼） have been photographed as they swam in the formation of a dolphin （海豚）．Steve De Neef photographed the fish near Cebu in the Philippines grouping together to protect themselves from larger animals．He said: "Getting the picture of the dolphin shape was just about being in the right spot at the right time, but it would be to their benefit if they could imitate （模仿） a larger animal．"
Daily Mail - Black garlic - a sweet variety of the popular cooking ingredient that doesn't leave you with bad breath - is getting ready to hit the UK supermarket shelves．Black garlic tastes much sweeter than traditional garlic and enjoys twice the amount of anti-oxidants （抗氧化剂） and can last twice as long on the shelf．
BBC - Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device （装置） that can supply a drug directly into the body．A small chip is implanted under the skin．It contains the medicine, which it releases at programmed times．The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses and may one day free patients from having to remember to take their medicine, or give themselves injections．
VOA - Global warming could make humans shorter, warn scientists who claim to have found evidence that it caused the world's first horses to shrink nearly 50 million years ago．As temperatures went up their size went down, and vice versa （反之亦然）; at one point they were as small as a house cat．The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals, and even humans．
59．What information can we obtain from Steve De Neef's words?
A．The sardines swim together to protect themselves from dolphins．
B．The sardines will be in safety when meeting a larger animal．

62．The underlined word "shrink" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____．
A．become smaller B．become weaker
C．grow bigger D．grow stronger
C
Every year some 15,000 animals - mostly mice - are
shipped into the UK for research．Some leading scientists are
warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the
number of animals being brought into Britain for research．All
ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing
animals intended for research laboratories．
Lord Drayson, who was a minister under the last Labour government, said animal research was "regrettably" necessary and that people would "suffer and die" without it．"If we do want to have access to medicines, and I believe that we do - in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses．And so unfortunately we do have to do this．"
However, Alistair Currie from People, for the Ethical Treatment of Animals （PETA） said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing．"More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people," he said．They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective．"
The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR （public relations）．He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies, which appear to have had an effect．
But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and
