Everything is in place, organized and arranged. Her room nicely accommodates not only her clothes and brie-a-brae, but her 36 as well. I begin to accept that her room at home is no longer hers. It is now ours, our room for her when she 37 . I 38 myself thinking of when I held her in the cradle of my arm, in the chair alongside my wife’s hospital bed. So 39 , so beautiful, so perfect, so 40 dependent on her new, 41 parents. How time flies! Now she raises her head, catching me 42 at her, causing her to say to her mother, “Mom, isn’t it 43 that Dad is looking at me that way?” These days, I touch her face, her shoulder and her arm, 44 that when my wife and I return home, she will not be with us, and there will be nothing to 45 . I have so much to say, but no 46 with which to say it. My 47 changed from the day I drove this child home from the hospital.

I’ll be home from school 49 .” I tell her she will have a great year but I say little else. I am afraid somehow to speak and I only hold on to our good-bye hug a little longer, a little 50 . I gaze into her eyes and 51 to go. My wife’s eyes follow her as she leaves us. 52 do not. Maybe if I don’t look, I can imagine that she really hasn’t 53 ; I know that what she is embarking upon (开始) is exciting and wonderful. I remember what the world looked like to me 54 everything was new. As I walk to the car with my wife at my side, my eyes are wet, my heart is sore, and I realize that my life is 55 forever. 36.

B Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people? Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles T. Burlier of the Microwave Research Centre in
D Once I mentioned the story of a friend getting something made for me to give my daughter as a present, and then not letting me pay her back. Writing about that made me think about the problem of communicating feelings, particularly in cross – cultural situations. Let me explain. If I say to a fellow English – speaker, “I know how you feel,” what I am actually saying is that I can imagine myself in the same position, and therefore can imagine how I would feel. But my friend could perfectly correctly reply, “No, you don’t! You can’t.” In truth we can communicate how strongly we feel, but we cannot communicate exactly what we feel. But if we come from the same linguistic and cultural background, the match can be close enough. Culture and language cannot be separated, and I think that we have the feelings that are recognized in our culture and therefore represented in our language. One might say that we feel the things that our language allows us to express. So when it comes to trying to explain feelings to someone of a different mother tongue, the difficulties are huge. I could not explain to my friend how I felt about her not letting me repay her, because Chinese culture, it seems, does not recognize the same feelings on such occasions. She could understand the words that I was using, but could not understand what I was trying to say. Some time ago, I was going up in the lift, and a colleague with whom I merely have a nodding acquaintance was offering round some sweetmeat. I knew that I really could not eat it, so I refused politely, only to be told that I was making her lose face. I have no idea how serious the colleague was being. Causing someone to lose face is a serious social mistake. We have to do all we can to learn the types of situation in which it happens, and to try to avoid them. But we can only know about losing face, we can’t feel losing face, as the term is merely a literal translation of Chinese, not one that is native to English. 69．What does the author intend to express in the second paragraph? A．The author’s friend does not understand English. B．The author and her friend can communicate feelings with each other. C．The author’s friend can’t understand the real meaning of the author. D．The author’s friend feels insulted if other people know how she feels. 70．What does the author mean by saying “… the match can be close enough.” A．There can be some competition between them. B．They can make a perfect couple. C．They can share similar opinions and thoughts. D．They are even in a match. 71．According to the author, it is to explain feelings to someone of a different language. A．very difficult B．a little bit difficult C．not difficult at all D．impossible 72．This passage is focused on . A．how to avoid making people lose face B．cultural differences between the east and the west C．the importance of one’s cultural background D．how to be acquainted with Chinese culture 第五部分 写作（共三节，满分41分）
