When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him. My first thought was he must need 39 while doing his homework 40 he was trying to prepare me for some 41 . Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?” “ 42 ” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment.” The next day I 43 his teacher at my office to find out more about this 44 and how the other parents had responded(反应). “ 45 , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first 46 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The 47 is, ”the teacher explained, “feeling 48 is an important part of 49 . It’s something all human beings 50 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 51 that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 52 to tell his dad that he loves him.” The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for 53 of us to say the things that would be good for us to say. When my son came to me 54 , I held on to him for an extra second. And just 55 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you.”
I didn’t know if saying that would make either of us healthier, but we did feel pretty good. Maybe next time when one of my children says “I love you.” It would not take me a whole day to think of the right answer. 36. A. down B. away C. out D. up 37. A. After B. For C. In D. On 38.

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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项 A Long after the 2002 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still angry at the questionable refereeing decisions that made their team lose the match. A researcher was sent to study the performance of some top referees (裁判). The researcher organized experimental matches between four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees’ errors (错误), of which there were 61 over the matches. Compared to an ordinary match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to study the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials did it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the proper distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be a proper speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the justice of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is of less importance. 56. The experiment carried out by the researcher was meant to ____________. A. make new rules for football refereeing B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing C. study the causes of errors made by football referees D. review the decisions of referees at the 2002 World Cup 57. The findings of the experiment show that __________. A. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one sport B. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will happen C. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors D. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball 58. The underlined word “officials” in the passage most probably refers to __________., A. the researcher sent to study in the experiment B. the referees of the experimented matches C. the observers at the site of the experiment D. the inspectors of the football matches 59. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? A. Age is not the most important factor for a football referee. B. A football referee should be young and strong. C. The ideal retirement age for a football referee is 45. D. An experienced football referee can do well even if in poor health. B The question has puzzled scientists since the SARS virus first appeared and spread around the world: Where did it come from? Now, the first clue has appeared. Researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have proved the probable culprit (凶犯)—— the palm civet, a small cat-like animal that is treated as a tasty dish in some parts of China. After investigating many civ
