The first event of my life to be printed into my memory occurred when I was three. My mother stands, working in the 41 and then glances at me with a 42 smile. Two feet down the table, I knock on a chair with a bowl and a spoon, 43 my own invisible (无形的) powder. We wear 44 dresses, mine the leftover 45 from hers, sky blue — mommy’s favorite color. I am her shadow.
However, by 14 I could not 46 my mother. All that I heard every day was NO. I wanted to dye my hair and she said no. I wanted to 47 late with my friends and she said no. I didn’t understand why she said no. She was trying to 48 me from aches and pains and mistakes 49 in her teens. Several years later, I finally understood her, but it was too late. She became ill. I cried and 50 , “Don’t take her, God, please! She is my mother, my mommy, ma, the woman who gave me life. All my years, 51 the hard times and the good, she has been there, 52 to me forever by an invisible umbilical cord (脐带) that lasts longer after birth.”But this cord, this love could do nothing to stop the cancer from 53 .
A few years later 54 I myself lay in the hospital bed, my newly born daughter was 55 in my arms. I cried and smiled and prayed. Please help me to 56 her into a wonderful girl. And looking down 57 her eyes, I could see the message they held, “Your 58 would be proud.”
I stand in the kitchen now, and these thoughts flashed through my mind. I glance at my young daughter. A 59 feeling rushes through my soul as I take in the familiar 60 .

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
One of my first memories as a child in the 1950s was a discussion I had with my brother in our tiny bedroom in the family house in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
We had heard in school about a planet called Pluto. It was the farthest, coldest, and darkest thing a child could imagine. We guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on. We tried to figure out how much colder Pluto was than Antarctica, or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in Pennsylvania.
Pluto, which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”(矮星) in 2006, captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system
Pluto’s underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive. Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts, old farm equipment and self-ground lenses. As an assistant at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Tombaugh’s task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light, a planet that the observatory’s founder thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh found it. Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American, and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depression’s dark encroachment(入侵).
Pluto is much more than something that is not a planet. It’s a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isn’t the limit at all. We don’t know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.
1.Why did Pluto become famous in 2006 according to the passage?
A. Because it lost its major planet status
B. Because it disappeared in the sky
C. Because it was discovered by an American
D. Because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe
2.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An American Scientist: Clyde Tombaugh
B. Pluto was First Discovered by a Boy
C. Pluto’s Strange Romance
D. The Days I Spent with My Brother in Pennsylvania
3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. Clyde Tombaugh discovered the darkness in the Great Depression
B. Pluto was the only planet that was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh
C. Clyde Tombaugh’s job was to build telescopes for Lowell Observatory
D. Clyde Tombaugh’s telescopes used for searching stars were very simple

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.
The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seem to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone's effort and will benefit everyone.
Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten﹣year's hard work in construction. China has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ﹣F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong﹣1into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.
Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong﹣1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns about "China threat". China's space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind's well﹣being.
1.From Paragraph 2we learn that .
A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B. many experiments have been done in the international space station
C. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more
D. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
2.Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries' cooperation in building the international space station?
A. That it requires a lot of money.
B. That it needs everyone's effort.
C. That it will benefit every participating country.
D. That it is too far away from the earth.
3.The underlined word "aggregated" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by " ".
A. united
B. scolded
C. allowed
D. forbade
4.China wants to build its space station in order to .
A. break the balance of global space power
B. show that China can build space station alone
C. raise international concerns about "China threat"
D. make use of space peacefully for mankind's well﹣being
