第三节：阅读理解
认真阅读下列短文， A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor．On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life．" At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave．"
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed．When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher．It obviously isn't the money．Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change．He was working at Nintendo Corporation．His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade．With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired．I thanked him, but declined his kind offer．
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework．She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away．As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher．
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher．
41．Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author __________．
A．quite agreed with his colleague B．was very puzzled
C．thought it very funny D．was very sad
42．The computer science student called up the author because he___________．
A．wanted to inform the author of his present job
B．tried to persuade the author to work with him
C．wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D．thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher
43．The underlined part “blue hats and gowns” refers to___________．
A．university colleagues B．graduates' clothes
C．life memories D．decorations in the hall
44．The author wrote this passage to __________．
A．express his devotion to being a teacher
B．compare two different graduation ceremonies
C．talk about the meaning of graduation
D．give advice on how to be a good teacher

The United States has around 475,000 school buses. Each day they carry more than 25 million children, half of all the schoolchildren in the country.
These buses, on average, use 4 liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than 16 kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled by the end of school in June.
Bob Riley is the spokesman for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices negotiated(商议) for schools are not lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels.
Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. Some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school.
The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus service might reduce attendance.
It could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. That would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a 3-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution.
49. In the second paragraph, the author wants to prove that .
A. too many schoolchildren take buses every day
B. the cost of fuel has increased
C. the school buses consume more fuel than average
D. the school buses usually go on long routes
50. In the third paragraph, what does Bob Riley mean'?
A. The fuel prices for school buses need to be negotiated again.
B. High fuel prices are also affecting the efficiency of their services.
C. The fuel prices for school are much higher than others pay.
D. The American School Bus Council should work for students’ benefit.
51. What is the advantage of reducing school bus service according to the passage?
A. More fuel will be saved.
B. Students can go to school in a safer way.
C. Students can exercise by walking or riding to school.
D. Traffic jams will be reduced during rush hour.
52. What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?
A. Bob Riley's concern about the results of reducing school buses.
B. The convenience brought by school buses.
C. The bad effects of reducing school buses.
D. The studies about students' choices carried out by the American School Bus Council.

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who
