"In this life，what did you miss？"
The wife asked the husband when she was 25．Despondently （沮丧地），the husband replied，"I missed a new job chance．"
When she was 35，the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus．
At the age of 45，the husband sadly said，"I missed the chance seeing my close relative before his last breath．"
At 55，the husband said disappointedly，"I missed a good chance to retire （退休）．"
At 65，title husband hurriedly replied，"I missed visiting my dentist．"
At 75，the wife did not ask the husband any more，she was very sick．Remembering the question the wife used to ask him，this time the husband asked the wife the same question．The wife，with a smile and peaceful look，replied，"In this life，I did not miss having you!"
The husband was full of tears．He always thought that they could be together forever．He was always busy with work and other things．He had never thought of his wife．The husband gave a big hug to the wife and said，"Over 50years，how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me．"
Life does not last forever，so always live in the now．Don't neglect （忽视）the loved ones who care for you．Express your gratitude （感激）to your loved ones in words．Show your love with actions．Treat every day as the last day of life．In this way，when you are gone，your loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about．

China is a great country with the largest population in the world．In order to solve the population problem，our government carried out one﹣child policy （政策）before．When it is carried out for some time，many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages．
From 2016，two﹣child policy is put into effect．In my opinion，two﹣child policy is good．First of all，two﹣child policy is the gift for some only child．For some families，maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child．Besides the loneliness of their child，when their child grows up and they grow older，their child marry an only child girl，the burden（负担）on their child and his wife is too heavy．Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples．Usually，a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult．But if their parents have two children，they can share the burden of taking care of their parents．It would be much better．Secondly，two﹣child policy can guarantee （保证） the number of Chinese population．
All in all，one﹣child policy has been out of date．And two﹣child policy is needed and necessary．It can solve the problems of nowadays （现在）and the future．

Picture the scene：It's midnight．You're very hungry after studying for a long time．Then you
see a nice pie in the fridge．Do you eat it？It seems that you shouldn't，for many reasons，including its influence on your studies．
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight．But now a new
study has shown that late﹣night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains﹣it might hurt
our ability to learn new things and store memories．
"We believe that late﹣night eating may affect （影响） our learning by affecting the parts of the
brain that control learning and memory，"Dawn Loh，PhD，a project scientist at the University of
California，Los Angeles，said，"We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the
damaged （受损的） memory．"
For the study，the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans．For two weeks，the
mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active，or during
the time when they usually sleep．The mice received the same amount（数量） of sleep and calories．
Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice．In one test，the researchers tried to find out
whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock（电击） after 24
hours had gone by．
The researchers noticed that，when the mice were put in the room again，those mice that ate
when they should have been sleeping were less likely（可能的） to get scared than those mice that
ate during usual hours．It means that they didn't remember．
So think twice before the midnight snack﹣it might be bad for more than your weight．
42．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2refer to（指代）？
A．Studying for long．B．A nice pie．C．A new study．D．Late﹣night eating．
43．For the study，the researchers need ．
A．to check the brains of the mice before the test started
B．to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleep
C．to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time
D．to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories
44．According to the passage，which of the following sentences is TRUE？
A．A recent study shows late eating affects weight．
B．What we eat can affect learning and memory．
C．The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn't remember．
D．The mice that ate during usual hours didn't remember．
45．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage？
A．Eating snacks affects memory B．Late eating hurts brain
C．Never stay up late D．Keep away from snacks．

William Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616．This year's 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time．It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence．Just as Ben Jonson，another great English writer of his times，said，"he is not of an age，but for all time．"
People like Shakespeare's plays because the characters show real human feelings．Romeo and Juliet，who are young lovers，they don't quite know how to get ahead with their lives．And they disagree with their parents．Their story has a sad ending．When we take the characters out of his period，they really speak to almost any time and place．
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern，everyday English．Even if an English﹣speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare，they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays．When we have problems making up our mind，we say"to be or not to be：that is the question"（Hamlet）．When a friend eats all the food in the house，we say he's"eating me out of house and home"（Henry IV）．
But Shakespeare's influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture．"Cowards die many times before their death，the valiant （英勇的） never taste of death but once．"This saying from Shakespeare's historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner．Shakespeare's influence is everywhere，from Goethe （a German writer） to Tchaikovsky．
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It，"all the world's a stage．"More than 400 years later，stages around the world still show his plays．Through his works，Shakespeare lives on．Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years from now．
38．What is the writer's main purpose in writing the article？
A．To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare．
B．To explain why Shakespeare's writing lives on．
C．To recommend some of Shakespeare's best﹣known works．
D．To explore the influences of Shakespeare's comedies．
39．Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A．All the world's a stage．
B．To be or not to be：that is the question．
C．The valiant never taste of death but once．
D．He is not of an age，but for all time．
40．Paragraph 4 is mainly about ．
A．some famous Shakespearian sayings
B．some Shakespearian historical stories
C．Shakespeare's influence on modern English
D．Shakespeare's influence on wider society
41．By the last sentence"Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years from now"，the writer means ．
A．Shakespeare's influence will last for a long time
B．Britain will remember William Shakespeare forever
C．Shakespeare's works will be gone and forgotten some day
D．Shakespeare's works will have a stronger influence than ever before．

Last summer，after 16years in America，I travelled to Moscow where I grew up．I was the
first in my family to return．Mom gave me a hand﹣drawn map showing the location of my
grandfather's grave（坟墓）．She asked me to visit it．I promised her it would be the first thing I'd
do．
But it wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit．
By the entrance to the cemetery（公墓），a lady was selling flowers．She had only seven left．I
bought them all，but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found．
I could call my mom．It was already morning in New York．
But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to
say？That I decided to go again but lost the map？
Then I found the office．An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham
Pikarskis with no further details．
I set off to look for them，hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone．
I found the two graves．Both said Abraham Pikarski，no pictures，nothing else．
Which grave was mine？
I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one．I also put three flowers there．
I stood there with the last flower．Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to？Should I just
discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number？Finally，I put the flower on the
grave．If this is really my grandfather's，he got the most．If not，let this be a respect to the stranger．
I flew home to New York the next day．When Mom saw me，she started crying．
"Mom，it's only been a week…"
She said，"Son，thank you for visiting Grandfather's grave．It really means so much to me．
When you called and told me you went there，I thought you were just comforting me．But this
morning，my cousin called from Moscow，saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa's grave．"
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw？Three or four？
34．Why didn't the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather's grave？
A．Because it was midnight in New York．
B．Because he found the hand﹣drawn map．
C．Because he didn't want Mom to know he broke his promise．

C．description of his looks and personality
D．other people's thoughts about him．

The website www．lifehacker．com connects people to helpful recourses．Here's the webpage on"The best places to…"
Keep a wireless router（路由器）
On a bookshelf
Situate it on a desk or a tall shelf in a central location in your house．A router works best when put high，since it sends signals（信号） in all directions．The worst place to have a router：in the kitchen．Metal things can also weaken or stop its signals．
Solve a problem
In the shower
Simple tasks，like lathering up（抹肥皂），may allow the mind to run free and have creative
thinking．In a science study，those who completed a simple task between solving creative problems performed better on the problems than those who completed difficult tasks or no task at all．
Hide valuable items
In the kid's room
Find a place in a young child's room，where you can put away valuable items．Put emergency cash（应急现金） in an envelope inside a toy which is no longer played with，like a teddy bear on a high shelf．
Add a houseplant
To the bathroom
Plants are important in your living space，but you probably haven't thought to put one next
to，say，your shower．They can make indoor air clean，and they're helpful for small spaces like
bathrooms．Ferns（蕨类） are a good and cheap choice in a bathroom．
31．According to the passage，you'd better hide your jewellery ．

All living things need energy to live and grow．This energy comes first from the sun．Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food．Animals can not make their own food，and they eat plants．Other animals then eat the plant eaters．
A food chain shows what eats what．It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zabras．
Lions also eat other animals．Zebras eat other kinds of plants．So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy．
A food web shows how food chains work together．From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals．
Plants and animals that live in hot，dry deserts depend on water as well as food．Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water．Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats．Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water．They get all the water they need from the plants they eat．Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food．Ringtail cats also come out only at night．Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats．Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats．
Nothing is wasted in a food web，Vultures eat dead animals．Vultures are scavengers．Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food．They eat animals that are already dead．When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies，it makes a meal for the vultures．Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean．
31．Where does the energy that living things need first come from？
A．Animals
B．Plants
C．The sun
D．Plant eaters
32．Why do ringtail cats come out only at night？
A．Because they are afraid of coyotes
B．Because they are shy animals

Many hundreds of years ago，the moon was a mystery to people on the earth．What was that glowing ball came out at night？Why did it keep getting smaller，then larger？Why didn't it fall from the sky？Through the ages，people have tried to come up with answers．
To the native people of Bolivia，in South American，the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth．The Abaluyian people of Kenya，in Africa，believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky．In other parts of the world，people believed they saw different pictures in the moon．The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket．The Chinese saw a road．
People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar．In fact，in some languages，the word for moon meant "month"．A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13moons，or months．Each moon had a name，such as Moon of Black Cherries，Moon of Green Corn，and Moon of Severe Cold．
Though people of the past found the moon was helpful，mysterious and interesting，they didn't know much about it．They only knew what they could see with their own eyes．
Then almost 400years age，an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope（望远镜） that was more powerful than any telescope made before．Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon．He discovered that the moon was not the smooth，shiny ball．The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains．The flat areas were lower，which is why they appeared darker．
