My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

The first two 31? there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang 32? for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.

As we were? 33? on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them? 34? off at the walls or floor. However, one lady? 35? my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing; at least they didn’t? 36 like that. As we got 37? ?with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she sang.? 38 she was singing, she was also? 39 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 40 were to my students. People who worked at the care center could? 41 to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling 42 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also? 43? the same lady. The difference between us is that he? 44? on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her 45? and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my 46 to let you know that.”

This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No? 47? can completely describe that touching moment.

It? 48 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a? 49? that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself? 50? to have witnessed his lesson

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

We don’t know how different our life in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day, we will be making new friends through the Internet--- even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today--- we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. Scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.

Although we cannot predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectation, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

51. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______________.

A. disappointed B. surprised
