our  42  :"What's that, Mom? Someone is screaming！""Turn off the light！ Stay  43  I

Keep your voice down!" Mom would    44  .

together.

    Along this route was an old grey house with a    46  .  It never caught my attention

my apple tree!" she said. "Do you see the Cedar Waxwings?" Well, I had never known

what the    49  was called.  My friends and l would,    50  ,look for the old lady to see if

she was    51  .She had taken this little yard and made it a small paradise of flower beds:

visits and told us all kinds of things about birds and nature. We    53    to love her.

her: her garden began to look    56    and the greyness of the house seemed to take over

the colorful mood. One of us    57    to open the gate and knocked at the door, but the

dear old woman would never greet us again. It was to be my first experience with death,

though I didn’t know it then, a death to my childhood  58   ．

Researchers with the University of Cambridge say they have the first real evidence of a new state of matter,some 40 years after it was first theorized.

    Known as “quantum spin liquid（量子旋转水）”,the matter state causes normally unbreakable electrons to break into pieces called “Majorana fermions.”These fermions are an important discovery.Physicists believe the material is vital to further develop quantum computing.Computers employing Majorana femuons would be able to carry out calculations beyond the scale of modern computers quickly,they say.

    Quantum spin liquid explains some of the eccentric behaviors inside magnetic（磁性的）materials.In these materials,the electrons should behave like small bar magnets,all adjusting towards magnetic north when a material is cooled.But not all magnetic materials do this-if the material contains quantum spin liquid,the electrons don’t all line up and become involved.

    “Until recently,we didn’t even know what the experimental fingerprints of a quantum spin liquid would look like,”researcher Dr.Dmitry Kovrizhin says.“That created a challenge for the researchers,so they decided to employ neutron scattering（神经扫描）techniques to look for evidence of break”.What they found surprised them.The features matched nearly exactly with quantum spin liquid models theorized by physicist Phil Anderson in 1973.The results of their breakthrough were then published in the scientific journal Nature Materials on Monday.

    Don’t get too excited just yet on its applications,though.Kovirzhin’s work is only the beginning and as we’ve seen with quantum computing there is a lot of work to be done.But it’s still exciting regardless.

    “It’s an important step for our understanding of quantum matter,” Kovrizhin says.“It’s fun to have another new quantum state that we’ve never seen before-it presents us with new possibilities to try new things.”

12. What can we learn,about “Majorana fermion” according to Paragraph 2?

A. It is an important discovery 40 years ago.    B. It is a surprising theory raised by Phil Anderson.

C. It is a key piece in developing quantum computer.    D. It is an unbreakable electrons employing computer.

13. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “eccentric” in Paragraph 3?

A. Strange.    B. Complex.    C. Permanent.    D. Obvious.

14. How did the researchers make the breakthrough?

A. By adjusting magnetic materials.    B. By using neutron scattering techniques.

C. By repeating maths calculations.    D. By changing electronic structure.

15. What is the author’s tone about the future of quantum matter?

A. Negative.    B. Doubtful.    C. Indifferent.    D. Optimistic.

 ________ the past, leaving the sadness behind, _____ you’ll see the door of a new bright world open before you.

 A. Forget; and             B. Forgetting; and          C. Forget; /            D. To forget; /

Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, a fact came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street. So they had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line will be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this   26  .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and   27  . All the students were working   28   a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no   29   of stopping. I walked down the row and found   30   was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

By this time the activity aroused my   31  , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on   32   I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to   33  .

After another ten minutes, the students were   34   to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna  35   hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to   36  . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the   37   of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and   38   your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to   39   the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is   40   by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in   41  . Amen!”

She turned the students   42   and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the   43   of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student   44   and said, “I Can’t,” Donna   45   pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble-----and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.

ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

Here’s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The woman’s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example――one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.”The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, “There’s room for one more.”

Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

61. According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ______.

A. in existence           B. imaginative                            C. not real                    D. impossible

62. By studying ESP, scientists may get to ______.

A. learn how people tell lies                            B. know more about human dreams

C. know more about human mind                   D. learn how strange things happen

63. In the last paragraph the underlined word“coincidences”probably means “______”.

A. things that may not happen                        B. things that happen in a dream

C. things that must happen                             D. things that happen by accident
