At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when Im entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didnt have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “Thats a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race.

Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustratedSan Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garagesIf spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agencyOn the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue)and which are full(red)More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Franciscos app, which is available now only for the iPhone.48.

Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. And parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority(权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily achieved by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”52. The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probably means _.A. distanceB. interest C. similarityD. cooperation53. The change in todays parent-child relationship is _.A. more confusion among children.B. less respect for parents from children.C. new equality between parents and children.D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents.54. By saying “todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side.” the author means that todays parents _.A. can set a limit to the change.B. follow the trend of the change.C. fail to take the change seriously.D. have little difficulty adjusting(适应)to the change.55. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. describe the difficulties todays parents have met with.B. discuss the development of the parentchild relationship.C. suggest the ways to handle the parentchild relationship.D. compare todays parentchild relationship with that in the past.第二节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference 56 .Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 57 . After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants(污染物). 58 .That means harmful material may get into our food supply. 59 . Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also workswhere old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 60 . And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.A. Then, fish may eat the plastics.B. But people can make a big difference.C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E.
