Mom found bet cancer in 2006 and died three years later. Three years after her death, I made my yearly trip to my childhood home for Christmas with my dad and sister. When I hunted for Christmas decorations up in the attic, an unusual yellow envelope caught my eye. Inside was a never published childrens book by Mom, dated February 10, 1993. It was titled The Evil Stepmother (Who Wasnt). Its the story of a little girl who loses her mother to cancer. Her father soon remarries, and at Christmas, the girl returns home to find her stepmother crying with a womans photograph in her hands. The stepmother says that she lost her mother, too, and always misses her most at Christmas.I read Moms book and wondered why she had been moved to write it. She was years away from her cancer at the time. But there was no stepmother in our lives.

It was the song Mom sang to me as a child to get me to sleep. Tears streamed down my face.We got home, and I went to my room to calm down. There was a knock on the door. Dads girlfriend. She told me that Christmas was hard for her too and that she had lost her mother to Alzheimers.“Do you see my coat?” she asked. “It was my moms. Your dad tells me your mother had a red coat too. Maybe we can wear them together sometime.”I remembered the scene from Moms book and hugged this woman who made my dad happy, who was offering us a second chance at Christmas.A year later, my sister and I attended Dads wedding.

There are two types of black box: the CVR or Cockpit Voice Recorder, and the FDR or Flight Data Recorder. 1 And when combined, the information can be used to build up a picture of what happened during a crash.The Cockpit Voice Recorder picks up sound from inside the cockpit(机舱), including the pilot headset microphones and those of any other cockpit staff. There's also a microphone in the cockpit. 2 They used to be tape recorders but are flash drives now. These record around two hours of information at a time, recording over and replacing older audio. The CVR allows listeners to find out what the cockpit staff were doing in the event of the crash. 3 The Flight Data Recorder, on the other hand, records important information about what the plane was doing at the time. 4 Typically it includes factors like speed, altitude and engine performance. 5 Sensors that feed data to black box recorders are located in key areas of the plane, such as the engine and wings. The actual black boxes are located at the hack of the plane beneath the tail. This location lessens the chance of the black box being destroyed, as it's not in an area which would take the impact of a head-on or belly-down crash.A. How do the sensors work?B. Then where are they kept?C. Both record different types of information.D. Then the FDR sends the information to the rescuers.E. The collected information is then fed into the FDR at the back.F. And what the staff observed and how they reacted can also be learned.G. It's used to record any other sound, even the noise of switches and dials.四、书面表达21st Century Teens Edition 正征集有关2008北京奥运会志愿者（volunteer）的资料，请根据下面提示发一封E-mail 介绍自己的情况。 1. 名叫李华，现年17岁，就读于江苏一所重点中学高一。 2. 喜欢英语，利用业余时间观看英语节目，练习英语口语，并取得了很大进步。现在已能流利地和 学校的外籍教师交谈。 3. 爱好体育，正学习有关体育运动的俗语（terms）。 4. 希望成为一名志愿者，为北京奥运会作出贡献（contribution）。 注意： 文章应包括以上要点，但不要逐字对译，要组成一片通顺连贯的短文。 字数 约 100。 mail 的格式已给出。 TO: Jackliu Subject: self-introduction Dear sir, 一、完形填空1.C根据第三段第四句中的“wife”可知，Mark是Susan的丈夫。故答案选C。2.A根据上文可知，Susan因医院的误诊而失明，下文又提到Mark努力帮助Susan重拾生活的自信，由此可推知，Susan因失明这件事陷入了绝望之中，所以sink into“沉入，陷入”符合语境。3.CSusan因失明陷入了绝望之中，所以她的丈夫应该是决定帮助她重获力量和自信，因此strength符合语境。4.DSusan失明了，很多事情都做不了，需要她丈夫的帮助。再结合下文她丈夫鼓励她自己乘坐公交车可知，此处指Mark下定决心帮助Susan重新独立(independent)起来。故答案选D。5.A根据空格后的“the bus”和下文中的“Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again”可知，Susan过去常常乘坐(take)公交车上班。故答案选A。6.B根据下句中的“they worked at opposite ends of the city”可知，Susan工作的地方是在城市里，而她现在失明，失去了勇气和自信，害怕一个人乘坐公交车在城市里四处走动，故city符合语境。7.A句意：Mark每天志愿开车送她去上班，尽管他们在这个城市相反的两个方向工作。though“尽管”，引导让步状语从句，故答案选A。8.A根据上文可知，Mark每天开车送Susan上班，消除了Susan的担忧，因此Mark的做法让Susan感到安慰(comforted)。故答案选A。9.C根据文章第一段可知，Susan因误诊而失明，因此sightless“失明的”符合语境。10.B根据空格前的“however”和下文Mark的观点可知，Mark意识到他的安排和做法并没有起作用，因此work符合语境。故答案选B。11.B根据下文的描述可知，正如他预料的那样，Susan的反应确实很强烈。因此predict“预料”符合语境。12.A根据下文可知，Susan认为Mark的做法无疑是在放弃她，所以她感到痛苦。因此bitterly符合语境。13.C句意：Mark听到那些话心都碎了，但是他知道他必须做什么。根据句意可知，空格前后为转折关系，因此but符合语境。14.DMark向Susan许下诺言，每天早上和傍晚都会陪她坐公交车，直到她熟悉为止。promise符合语境。15.C根据上文可知，Mark向Susan承诺会陪她乘坐公交车，因此整整两周的时间里，Mark都遵守着自己的诺言，每天陪伴Susan上下班。所以accompany符合语境。16.D根据语境可知，Mark教Susan在看不见的情况下如何依靠自己的其他感官来判断自己的位置。所以rely on符合语境。17.D根据语境可知，Mark教Susan如何依靠自己的其他感官来适应新的环境，所以environment符合语境。18.B根据空格前的“the bus”和空格后的“who could watch out for her, and save her a _19_”可知，此处应指公交车司机。故答案选B。19.D根据常识可知，公交车司机可以为Susan留一个座位(seat)。故答案选D。20.A根据语境可知，最终，Susan认为自己已经准备好去尝试一个人乘坐公交车上下班了。“乘坐公交车上下班”是一段旅程。因此trip符合语境。二、阅读理解1.
