三，完形填空（满分20分）
I was very tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was stand there and 38 at him. My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked , “What was that all about ?”
“Nothing .” He said, “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an 42 ”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 43.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did.” The teacher said , “When I first 45 that we should try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble . ” “The _46__ is ,” the teacher explained , “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . It’s something all human beings 48 . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too 49 that we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 50 to tell his dad that he loves him. ”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.
When my son came to me that evening, I hold on to him for an extra second . And just 52 he pulled away, I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey, I love you , too.” I don’t know whether saying that made either of us healthier, 53 it did feel pretty good . Maybe next time one of my children says, “I love you .” it would not take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55.

A
The incident took place on Sunday , the 25th of June. On that particular day, a south wind had been gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning . It was not strong enough to cause us any concern , so we carried on with our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.
The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then, we were not really worried , as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then, just as the clouds had moved inland, the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.
Instantly , we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops.
There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river. If the river flooded , they should be safe there.
In the meantime, my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off, it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows . if the storm developed into a cyclone(旋风) , the boards would protect the glass.
The storm ranged for four hours , poring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected , the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock.
Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope , the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun . The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. “All’s well that ends well ,” said my mother.
56. When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance, _________.
A. the family were surprised B. they were extremely worried
C. they were preparing for the worst D. they faced the storm bravely
57. “There was very little we can do about the crops” indicates that _________.

C. they felt unable to protect the crops D. the crops should be safe enough there
58. The underlined word “stock” in the third paragraph refers to _______.

B
For centuries , the only form of written correspondence (通信) was the letter. Letters were, and are, sent by some form postal service , the history of which goes back a long way. Indeed , the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.
Of course , modern postal services now are much more developed and faster, depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery . Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents(紧急文件) and letters.
The invention of the fax(传真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more. When you send a fax , you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service. It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.
The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent, but, as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely taken place of by email. Email is used to describe messages sent from one puter user to another.
There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send someone an email , then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned .
However, if you write something by email , which you might later regret , and send it immediately , there is no chance for second thoughts . At last , if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal(封) the envelope and take it to the post box. There is plenty of time to change your mind . The message is thought before your email !
60. We can learn from the text that ______.
A. email is less popular than the fax service
B. the postal service has bee faster over the years
C. the postal service has bee lower over the years

D. letters have been used in Egypt for about 2,000 years

A. you may regret if you don’t seal your envelope
