I was 36 that my father was seriously ill. I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alone in a small trailer (拖车式活动房）in California, 500 miles away from me. The real 37 between us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but 38 I promised to be there the next day.The whole drive down, 39 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海军陆战队队员）. He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung them so there was 40 the same spacing between them. But we neednt 41 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother. I remembered 42 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 43 at me, “You cant do anything right!”Standing outside his trailer, I tried to 44 my courage to face him one more time. Slowly, I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 45 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and frustrated. This wasnt the angry and 46 man I had known growing up. This man was 47 and seemed broken. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me was thinking this was exactly the fate he 48 .“God, what am I supposed to do now?” I wondered. But as soon as the words 49 me, a sense of sorrow 50 me, and I knew that I had to take him to my home. It was the 51 part I struggled with. The days of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings Id been 52 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every 53 had been lifted from me. 54 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.It has been eight years since father died. Now when I think of him, those are the moments I remember, which are, as I put on Dads headstone, Gods amazing 55 .36. A. remindedB. confirmedC. informedD. warned37.

This passage is mainly written to_.A. provide some information about train travelB. describe the policies of changes and refundsC. introduce the luggage allowance on the trainD. compare the discounts of different ticket typesBShe almost did not run. Christine Williams admits that now. She could barely put one foot after another following the wake(守灵) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sisters wake and her funeral. “I kind of got upset beforehand.” Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “She said my sister would have wanted me to run.” Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.The accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released.The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach,and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team didnt qualify for the nationals, Christine did.59. The efforts Christines Post team made for her include the following EXCEPT _.A. offering car service and flight tickets to BostonB. arranging for a substitute for her beforehandC. taking care of her food and uniformsD. cheering for her during the race60. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Christines two sisters were killed in the accidentB. Christines athletic performance stood out in the raceC. Christine flew to Boston after her sisters funeralD. Christine broke the Post record in national meet in Boston61.What is the crucial factor contributing to Christines success in the race?A. Diligent practice.B. Excellent coaching.C. Good relationships.D. Firm determination.CThe most complex object known to humanity is the human brain and not only is it complex, but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of. To try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. But you have to start somewhere, and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”, one of the brains building blocks.In a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neo-cortical（新大脑皮质的）column on a type of IBM supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. If that works, they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics（模仿) a brain.In a real brain, a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical（圆柱形的）element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. It is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb, which make up the famous “grey matter” that has become shorthand for human intelligence. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.The EPFLs contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulation. Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. They will do so by assigning electrical properties（电能）to them, and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.That will be no mean feat. Even a single nerve cell is complicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. And nerve cells come in great varietyrelying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections. Eventually, however, a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moores Law, the leader of IBMs side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years. Such an artificial brain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a “web lab” to be conducted in seconds. The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological, disorders develop. But that is probably not the real reason for doing it. The most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both.62. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column _.A. looks like the cells of a honeycombB. is a simulation of a structureC. is the famous “grey matter”D. contains a large number of nerve cells63. What does the underlined sentence “That will be no mean feat” in Paragraph 5 indicate?A. It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.B. The function of chemical transmitters is hard t
