He had left us, and there was simply no way to change it.Being the oldest of four girls has never been easy, but with the departure of our father, our world and dreams were broken beyond repair. My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, has worked harder than anyone should simply to mend our broken household. However, long hours at work often prevented her from physically being there in our times of need.

Is that you?1' The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. nMarci?n I asked.' It IS you!n she cried out, smiling broadly. nGosh, it's good to see you again!'1It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives一the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet fbr a moment. "You know, Joe," she said, " I've always wanted to tell you.how.how sorry I am fbr the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It's OK," I said, “No big deal!” "But I was such a jerk." she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were both pretty young,“ I smiled. “I know." she said, “It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes-it looked a lot like relief. “OK J I said. nApology accepted Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say 'Tm sorry" and "You're forgiven.n But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul一even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.1> What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy.

Relief of Finding A friendText 3A new study suggests climate conditions in the Sahara Desert, one of hottest, driest and most deserted areas in the world, have changed from wet to dry a about every 20,000 years.But previous evidence has suggested the Sahara did not always experience such extreme heat and dry conditions. At times, the Sahara Ranged to a very wet climate. This permitted plants and animals to develop and grow and led to the creation of human settlements. Now, they have discovered more evidence, which, the lead researcher David Me Gee says, supports the idea that the Sahara*s climate kept changing between wet and dry about every 20,000,years.McGee reported these climate changes were mainly driven by changes in the Earth's（地轴）as the planet travels round the sun .This process affects the amount of sunlight between seasons. Every 20,000 years the Earth receives more strong summer sunlight. When the Earth's axis changes again, the amount of sunlight is reduced. This season change happened continuously every 20,000 years. The other part of the season produced rainy conditions, resulting in a wetter, greener, plant-rich environment. When the rainy activity weakens, the climate becomes hot and dry, like the Sahara remains today.The scientists based their research on dust collected from ocean sediment（沉积物）in the Atlantic Ocean bottom off the coast of West Africa. The dust contained layers （层）of ancient sediment built up over millions of years. Each layer could contain traces of Saharan dust as well as the remains of life forms. This information was used to assess over what time period the dust had built up. This led to the overall finding that the Saharan changes from wet to dry climates happened every 20,000 years.David McGee said that today we only see the Sahara Desert as an extremely deserted and “inhospitable“ place. The new study suggests that the area's climate has changes between grasslands and a much wetter environment, and back to dry climates, even over the last quarter million years. McGee says he thinks the latest research can be valuable in studying the Saharas history as it relates to human settlement.1、What does the new study find about the Sahara Desert?A. It is one of the hottest, driest and most deserted areas in Africa.B. It always experiences extreme conditions because of its position.C. Its climate changes between wet and dry about every 20,000 years.D. Its environmental conditions stop plants and animals from surviving.2、What is the direct reason for Sahara's climate changes?A. Rainy activity.B. Solar radiation.C. Human activity.D. Global environment.3、How did the researchers acquire the evidence?A. By analyzing ocean life.B. By studying Sahara's history.C. By collecting dust on the coast.D. By examining mean sediment.4、What does the underlined word “inhospitable“ probably mean?A. Unsuitable to live.B. Insignificant lo study.C. Unable to explore.D. Impossible to change.Text 4Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says J Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are.'1The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance'1. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.2、What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.3、In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.4、What is the benefit of collective intelligence? A , It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly. B. It improves work cooperation within the colony. C. It reduces the division of labour among members. D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills. Part BDirections:R
