No card came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not 36 at all. After a while I stopped trying to 37 the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper. However, I 38 stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest 39 were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone to whom I had shown special 40 . Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a 41 I had run into. One month before my graduation, my father died.

He seldom played with his classmates and always lowered his head without a word. One spring, the boy’s father gave each child a small tree to plant. “Whoever grows the best tree will get a favourite gift,” he said to them. Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees happily in the garden, a terrible idea hit his mind—he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never cared about it. A few days later, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and it looked greener and healthier than the others. He got a favourite gift and was told by his father: from the tree he planted, he would become a great botanist (植物学家). One night, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his teacher once said, “Most plants grow at night”. Why not go to see the lovely tree? When he came to the garden, he found his father was watering his tree carefully. At that time, he understood: his father had secretly taken good care of his small tree! He returned to his room with tears (泪水) running out. Many years passed. The little boy became a great botanist. He will never forget his father’s love. 46．The little boy regarded himself as ________.

In 2011, however, Humphreys had some of the biggest adventures of his life—and he never even left the United Kingdom. For a year, Humphreys went on microadventures—small, low-cost trips close to home. Why did he do this? “I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure anywhere,” he explains. For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25—a 188-kilometre road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain biking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures: We find adventures when we try something new. Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips. He asked them to do things like climbing a hill, going away for a weekend, or choosing a random (任意的) place on a map and going there. People from all over the world accepted his challenge and posted their videos on the Internet. 49．Which of the following belong to microadventures? ①walk across India ②sleep outside on a hill ③go away for a weekend ④swim in the River Thames ⑤row from Africa to South America ⑥ hike around the road around London A．①③④⑤ B．①④⑤⑥ C．②③④⑥ D．②③⑤⑥ 50．What can we know about Humphreys’ personality according to the passage?

When we compare ourselves with great people, we may feel very ordinary (平凡的) and unimportant. However, we must remember that those great people were extraordinary (卓越的). The world has more than 6 billion people, so it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary. What can we do? We can try to be the best people that we can possibly be. ①I think this means that we need to be honest and hard-working. We also need to be open-minded and kind to other people. Most importantly, we need to be ambitious (有雄心的). We need to always set goals for ourselves and work hard to achieve these goals. Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working, kind and ambitious, and they worked hard to achieve their goals. Curie gave her life to “ease (减轻) human suffering”. Edison spent his life as an inventor. He invented a camera that showed movement. Later people used cameras to make modern films. A famous writer from Ireland once wrote, “We are all in the gutter (社会底层) but some of us are looking at the stars.” ②I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something. It reminds me that we are all at a lower level and that we all have a higher goal to work towards. It makes me try to be the best person that I can possibly be. 1—2根据短文内容完成下列各题；3题将①处画线句子译成汉语；4题将②处画线句子译成汉语；5题回答问题。 80．Is it difficult for all of us to be extraordinary according to the passage? 81．What did people use cameras to do later? 82． 83． 84．What is the best title of this passage?

One spring, the boy’s father gave each child a small tree to plant. “Whoever grows the best tree will get a favourite gift,” he said to them. Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees happily in the garden, a terrible idea hit his mind—he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So he never cared about it. A few days later, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and it looked greener and healthier than the others. He got a favourite gift and was told by his father: from the tree he planted, he would become a great botanist (植物学家). One night, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his teacher once said, “Most plants grow at night”. Why not go to see the lovely tree? When he came to the garden, he found his father was watering his tree carefully. At that time, he understood: his father had secretly taken good care of his small tree!
