(10 points) I grew up in a small town in Ohio, where everyone knew a man called Tom. Uneducated, he couldnt talk plainly. And because he was 1 and not very smart, everyone teased him. I 2 he was an easy mark.One day, he came walking by. I was about 12 and thought it would make me feel grown-up to 3 him like the adults did.He asked how I was doing. I told him my father was 4 , and that we lacked money. I could hear my friends 5 in the background so I went on with the lie. I had him 6 so completely that every time he inquired about the 7 , I would make it seem increasingly worrying.I knew he made a 8 by doing odd jobs (打零工), so it seemed 9 when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didnt know if we would 10 . He responded, “You poor thing. I will 11 for you.”That night I heard the 12 rattle (作响) softly. Thinking it was the wind beating against it, I 13 it. Later when I opened the door to go outside, I found a box of 14 . I knew who had given the food. I 15 the small box of canned food with tears in my eyes. I felt 16 , and wanted to return the groceries.My father would not let me take the box 17 . He said it would hurt Tom. Each day when we were to have dinner, my father would ask, “What side dish are we having from the 18 box today?It was 19 for me to eat the food. I knew Tom had given 20 . He gave the best he had, but I did not deserve the gift.1、Aill-treatedBbad-temperedCgood-naturedDwarm-hearted2、AguessedBpredictedCinsistedDhoped3、AcondemnBteaseCannoyDabuse4、AdelayedBprohibitedCdesertedDunemployed5、AlaughingBwhisperingCcheeringDclapping6、AabsorbedBamusedCstruckDfooled7、AatmosphereBsituationCmoneyDreason8、AbudgetBprofitClivingDfortune9、AfunnyBimpossibleCpracticalDmoving10、ApanicBremainCstarveDcompromise11、AmanageBoperateCpurchaseDpray12、AwindowBdoorCfenceDbox13、AexploredBfastenedCignoredDinvestigated14、AgroceriesBvegetablesCsnacksDfruits15、Aheld upBlooked throughCchecked outDtook over16、AthrilledBtouchedCfrustratedDashamed17、AbackBawayCoutDapart18、AmoneyBcheckCiceDgift19、AhorribleBhardCpleasantDprecious20、ApersonallyBsecretlyCsacrificiallyDenthusiasticallySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

(40 points)Text 1 There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds， but the estimates are often way off the mark Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly， but the flights are costlyResearchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way： listening to a storm underwaterIn a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters， Nicholas C Makris and a former graduate student， Joshua D Wilson， report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the midAtlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it They say that such microphones， known as hydrophones， could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane forceDr Makris and Dr Wilson， who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation， worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper To be very frank with you， its a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater Dr Makris said The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles（气泡振动）The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory， and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999， and a hurricanehunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storms outside wind wall passed over， and again when the inside wall， the most destructive part of the storm near the eye， passed over We got a beautiful connection， Dr Makris said， between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraftDr Makris is conducting additional experiments， working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico The eventual goal， he said， would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that cou
