Every winter as long as I can 36 , family and friends gathered at my grandfathers home in the traditional village of Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, on January 6.I remember 37 great fondness as a young boy watching and eventually 38 the buffalo dance during the. In the evening my grandfathers home became the central 39 place for family, friends and relatives.My father loved to 40 the old Taos Pueblo and Apache round dance songs dating back 41 the late 1800s. I would watch him close his eyes and he seemed to travel back in time trying to 42 a particular sages(先哲的) song. With a growing smile, he would start beating the 43 and introduce an ancient song.The day I was finally 44 to sit around the family drum was a 45 time for me, involving extreme boyhood concentration, not only to memorize the 46 , but also to beat the drum beat. I made my share of 47 , and I must have sounded like a young wolf howling among those more experienced, 48 in time I gained confidence, and a voice 49 enough to start leading some of the songs.Sitting around the family drum with my father and uncles brought me a sense of great comfort and inner 50 .it was a wonderful experience to be 51 around the circle of love, acceptance and teaching.Sometimes while we were singing, there might 52 a knock at the door. In Pueblo tradition, the person outside would peek his head in and 53 say, “I heard the drum, and I wanted to ask 54 to enter your house, if my grandfather would permit it !” my grandfather would 55 nod and tell the visitor to enter and join us around the drum.These are unforgettable memories, I often close my eyes and can hear uncles and my beloved father now departed singing around the family drum!36.A. rememberB. recognizeC. realizeD. remind37.A. fromB. withC. byD. to38.A. joining inB. going overC. thinking ofD. talking about39.A. chattingB. visitingC. gatheringD. comforting40.A. createB. writeC. singD. play41.A. as far asB. as old asC. as long asD. as late as42.A. recordB. repeatC. recallD. recite43.A. doorB. drumC. footD. head44.A. orderedB. refusedC. allowedD. advised45.A. terribleB. memorableC. believableD. comfortable46.A. movesB. dancesC. storiesD. songs47.A. effortsB. mistakesC. progressD. success48.A. andB. butC. orD. so49.A. strongB. sharpC. weakD. low50.A. thoughtB. emotionC. calmD. joy51.A. leftB. foundC. seatedD. arranged52.A. hearB. haveC. soundD. come53.A. respectfullyB. shamefullyC. peacefullyD. carefully54.A. questionsB. receptionC. suggestionsD. permission55.A. hesitatinglyB. cautiouslyC. patientlyD. politely第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分 40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。AMANCHESTER, England-Here is some good news for vegetarians that researchers in UMA Group have developed genetically engineered fruit trees that produce real meat!Fruit from the new Meat Tree, developed by British scientists using the gene technology, is closely like ordinary grape-fruit. But when you cut the fruit open, inside is fresh beef!“Our trees may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but its really true,” declares Dr. Vincent, director of the UMA Group, which created the amazing trees.“Vegetarians have been complaining for years that in spite of their firm belief against eating meat, they still desire the taste of meat once in a while. Now they can have their cake and eat in too.”Although its taken 12 years to develop the trees, the idea is simple. “We take the genes from cattle and put them into cells of grape-fruit trees,” Dr.Vincent says. “When the seeds grow into trees, they produce meat instead of ordinary fruit. You get the taste-even the smell.”Those whove tried the meat agree it tastes like the real thing. “I was a bit unwilling to believe at first when I sank my teeth into a hamburger after they told me it grew on a tree,” says Londoner Mark, who took part in a taste-test. “But it was juicy and deliciousnothing leafy about it at all.”Meat Tree products could be on the market in Great Britain by the end of the year and on dinner plates in the U.S. by 2006. Some vegetarians insist they should never eat meateven if it grew on a tree. Others love the idea. “My mouth is watering already,” says a devoted vegetarian of 20 years.56. According to what Dr. Vincent said, we know that _.A. vegetarians like to make a cake and enjoy it laterB. the idea of Meat Trees came from a science fiction movieC. vegetarians can eat meat from the new treesD. vegetarians can taste and even smell fruit from Meat Trees57. In paragraph 5, the author took Mark for example to _ .A. show he is one of the devoted vegetariansB. prove the real taste of fruit from Meat TreesC. tell how a vegetarian eats the new fruitD. to explain how the taste-test is given58. By writing this passage, the author wants to _.A. show how gene technology developsB. encourage people to eat fruit from Meat TreesC. explain how hard to develop meat treesD. tell readers good news about meat from treesBIt is hard to track the blue whale, the oceans largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered animal. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual (视觉的) sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior .So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navys formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices covering the oceans.Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian(平民的) scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the many years to track the ships of potential enemies.Geologists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies.Other scientists have suggested using the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second slower than through land but faster than through air.What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low frequency ones,can often travel thousands of miles.59.The passage is chiefly about _.A. the uncovering of a military (军事的) top-secret deviceB. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whalesC. the civilian use of a military detection systemD. an effort to protect an endangered sea animal60. The underwater listening system was originally designed_.A. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptionsB. to search for and locate enemy shipsC. to study the movement of ocean currentsD. to replace the global radio communications network61. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. opinions differ about whether military technology should be allowed for civilian useB. new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered animalsC. blue whales are no longer endangered with the new listening systemD. military technology has great potential in civilian use62. Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network?A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists .B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.D. It is so necessary to protecting endangered animals.C“Penn Station,” I told the cab driver and got in. The young, heavy-set man looked friendly and we naturally started a conversation, which went from the weather and quickly varied into the struggles of a cab drivers life.“What do you do besides your job?” he asked curiously. “I help a nonprofit organization trying to bring some goodness in the world,” I responded. “Do they pay you well?” “Well, no, but I get by. I dont have many material things in life, but Ive realized that I dont need all that to keep me happy. If I die tomorrow, I want to go out knowing that Ive made a few people smile.”The young cab driver, perhaps in his late thirties, looked back through the sliding glass as if extending his hand for a hand shake-“Man, it is nice to meet you.” Although we were strangers, both of us felt deeply connected as human beings. And by now, 7 minutes into our ride, we were on a first-name basis. He even spelled his name for me: H-a-k-e-e-m.Hakeem and I talked a bit about simple acts of generosity, the power of a pay-it-for-ward mindset and how that can promote trust and connection in our communities. He understood the idea, but it seemed very abstract and foreign to him.We arrived at Penn Station and traded e-mail addresses after I paid my ride fare. As I was heading out, I turn to him and said, “Hakeem, heres a 20. Whenever you feel like it, you give a ride to people and tell them that someone before them has paid for their fare. See what happens.”Hearing this, Hakeem was visibly moved. “Really? Are you sure?”63. The phrase “get by” in Paragraph Two probably means “_”.A. receive some profits by helping the organizationB. receive no profit by helping the organizationC. gain some fame by helping the organizationD. gain some happiness by helping the organization64. From the description that Hakeem looked back through the sliding glass, the author expects to indicate that _.A. Hakeem was inspired by his wordsB. Hakeem didnt believe what he had saidC. Hakeem was carefully driving while talking with the authorD. Hakeem felt a little tired and wanted to shake his hand65. Hakeem understood the idea of a pay-it-forward act_.A. as soon as the author had told him about itB. after the author set an example to himC. after he made some further explanationsD. after he saw a scene of it acted out66. We can learn from the passage that the authors goal of an act of kindness was_.A. to help people in trouble B. to strengthen friendship among friendsC. to make people happy D. to contribute to peoples trust and connectionDTo a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Regardless of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are-always!We allow past problems and future concerns to control our present moments so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said, “Life is whats happening while were busy making other plans.” “When were busy making other plans”, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isnt. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we wo
