阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 36 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 37 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 38 the engines with it. We will 39 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”
See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one
woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 40 ！” There were sighs of 41 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 42 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 43 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 44 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying 45 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 46 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 47 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 48 for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 49 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 50 with inaction just because they don’t have 51 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 52 thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens.
If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as 53 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 54 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 55 of guaranteed success. 36. A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C. Unfortunately D. Thankfully 37. A. service B. power C. water D. assistants 38. A. shut B. fix C. change D. start 39. A. get up B. pack up C. light up D. speed up 40. A. wait B. delay C. crash D. suffer 41. A. entertainment B. desperation C. disease D. pain 42. A. looked over B. gone out C. got across D. taken off 43. A. sitting B. checking C. watching D. boarding 44. A. puzzled B. patient C. anxious D. embarrassed 45. A. even if B. as if C. what if D. only if 46. A. comment B. complaint C. promise D. plan 47. A. everything B. something C. nothing D. anything 48. A. escaped B. cheered C. sighed D. praised 49. A. less than B. other than C. better than D. more than 50. A. frozen B. annoyed C. concerned D. satisfied 51. A. realistic B, organized C. potential D. guaranteed 52. A. same B. common C. best D. last 53. A. interesting B. challenging C. surprising D. encouraging 54. A. rewarding B. disappointing C. sorrow D. trouble 55. A. meaning B. sign C. action D. reward 第三部分： 阅读理解（每小题2分 满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and
self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,
the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case,where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us honorable. Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased .Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.
Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
56．According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________. A．self-respect B．financial rewards
C．advertising ability D．friendly relationship
57．The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________. A．lying B．stealing
C．cheating D．advertising
58．The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk's attention” means ________. A．telling the truth to the clerk B．offering advice to the clerk
C．asking the clerk to be more attentive D．reminding the clerk of the charged item
59．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A．How to Live Truthfully B．Importance of Peacefulness C．Ways of Gaining Self-?respect
D．Happiness through Honorable Actions
B
Coffee is one of the world’s most widely-enjoyed drinks. Now, a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee, it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer.
Dr. Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah School of Medicine was interested in the connection between coffee drinking and certain cancers of the head and neck. Researchers have looked into this before, but without reaching any firm conclusions. She said, “So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise. We didn’t really have any expectation of which direction it could go into.”
To sort out the conclusion, Hashibe and her assistants used statistical(统计学的) techniques to, in effect, make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies. She explained, “Thanks to the earlier studied, we have a lot of more power than earlier studies that looked at this. And we
included 4,000 cancer patients who have cancer of the mouth and throat. And the 9,000 controls,
