In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23­year­old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to _31_a different life. It was a transitional (过渡的) period in Daniel's life. I wanted to 32 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 33 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it？” Then he walked 34 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 35 was played out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 36 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 37 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 38 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 39 ？ I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 40 to me or what he might 41 to face in the years that followed. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 42 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 43 never hearing him put his 44 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 45 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned 46 , and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “if I could have picked one, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 47 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 48 of was the stubble (胡子茬) on his chin as his face pressed against mine. What I had said to Daniel was 49 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 50 .

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分）
阅读下列短文, 从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项.
I was not quite seventeen when I decided to join the US Marine Corps. My mother tried her best to talk me out of my dream, and then finally signed the papers that would permit me to enter the service.
One day, nearly two years after the Philippines became my home, I was summoned to the office of Lieutenant(海军上尉) Colonel Boyd. He seemed to be a kind man, but I was pretty sure that he hadn't called me in to pass the time of day.
Standing before his desk, I waited nervously as he read through some paperwork. Then he looked up. “Why, Private, haven't you written to your mother for more than six months？”
I felt weak in my knees. Has it been that long? I thought.
“I didn't have anything to say, Sir.”
Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had contacted the American Red Cross, which in turn communicated with my commanding officer about my failure to write. Then he asked, “Do you see that desk, Private？”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Open the top drawer and you'll find some paper and a pen. Sit down right this minute and find something to say to your mother.”
“Yes, Sir.”
When I finished a brief letter, I stood before him again.
“Private, I'm ordering you to find something to say to your mother at least once a week. Do you understand？” I did.
Some thirty­five years later, my aged mother's mental condition was deteriorating, and I was forced to place her in a convalescent home(疗养所). As I went through her belongings, I began inspecting the contents of an old cedar chest. At the bottom, tied with a bright red ribbon, I found a bundle of letters.
They were the letters I had been ordered to write from the Philippines. I sat on the floor of her apartment that afternoon reading each one, tears streaming down my cheeks. I now realized how deeply, as a young man, had upset her by my lack of consideration.
The lesson I learned may have been too late to help my mother, but it's still done me good. These days I don't need a commanding officer standing over me to write to my loved ones on a regular basis.

Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years. One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research.
By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out.
More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures. Men were more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of priorities. Women were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people.
The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, self­reliance and independence whereas only half of the men had that experience.
The research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects. One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light.
A greater proportion of women than men faced objections or criticism from their families over their gap­year plans. Among the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travel.
Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female traveller. Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs.
“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan, ” she recalled. “It was OK but one day I did get chased by one.”
She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”.
55. By referring to “gap year” the writer means ________.
A. a gap you come across after leaving high school
B. a time when you are caught in a dilemma between work and study
C. a period before you find a job upon your graduation from college
D. a year off between high school and college for certain purposes
56. In the third paragraph, the underlined word “priorities” most probably means ________. A. selections B. Attractions C. preferences D. projects
57. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Men students will travel less during the gap year because of their part­time jobs.
B. Women students will travel more but face more objections.
C. The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiences.
D. Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad.
58. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Girls Get the Best out of Gap Years
B. Boys Lack Courage in Gap Years
C. For Fun or for Adventure?
D. Young Women Are More Adventurous
C
A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties(机能), or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate(评价) of his ability. Older people may be handicapped(阻碍) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him.
