(2017·南京市二模，D)
While waiting to pick up a friend at an airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those lifechanging experiences that you hear other people talk about—the kind that happens to you unexpectedly. To me, this happened and was only two feet away from me.
Locating my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he walked to his youngest son (maybe 6 years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other's face, I heard the father say，“It's so good to see you, son.
I missed you so much！” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly，“Me, too, Dad！”
Then the man stood up, gazed into the eyes of his oldest son (maybe 9 or 10) and while cupping his son's face in his hands said, “You're already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach！” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.
While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or oneandahalfyear old) was squirming (扭动) excitedly in her mother's arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said，“Hi, baby girl！” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.
After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared，“I've saved the best for last！” and went to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed, “I love you so much！” They stared into each other's eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands.
For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally attentive I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me.
I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask，“Wow! How long have you two been married？”
“Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife's face. “Well then, how long have you been away？” I asked. The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. “Two whole days！”
Two days? I was stunned. I had assumed he'd been gone for at least several weeks—if not months. I know my expression betrayed me. “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years！”
The man suddenly stopped smiling.
He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person, “Don't hope, friend... decide！” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said，“God bless！”
With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.
I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What'cha looking at？” Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied，“My future！”

科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2017安徽“江南十校”高三联考)US scientists have fixed experimental sensors (传感器) in some cities to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in a chemical or biological attack.
Two test models,in the form of nine-meter high aluminum (铝) towers,are now undergoing testing in New York City,one in Greenwich Village and the other near Times Square.
Half a dozen similar sensors have been fixed in and around Washington.
Simulations (模仿) of terrorist attacks carried out since the Sep.11,2001 attacks have stressed the importance of finding out as soon as possible those areas that would be most affected by giving out poisonous gas or radioactive material into the air.
Now,the only reliable sources of information on wind speeds and direction are major airports,which are generally located too far away from city centers to be of much use.
The experimental sensors measure wind strength and direction 10 times per second.The information is downloaded through the Internet to computers that can turn out a detailed wind map,updated every 15 minutes.
Addressing a recent House of Representatives committee meeting,the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA’s) “Air Resources” laboratory,Bruce Hicks,stressed the importance of developing the wind mapping program.
“The wind sensors now being tested were produced by scientists recognizing there’s a real problem and we’d better start handling it fast or else we’ll get into trouble.”Hicks said.
Funds(资金) during the testing period had been provided by the new Department for Homeland Security which will decide whether to fix sensor networks in major US cities,if the experiment should have positive results.
1.The purpose of developing the wind mapping program is to .
A.get lifesaving information during terrorist attacks
B.get useful information about weather changes
C.map the speed and direction of the wind
D.prevent possible terrorist attacks
2.According to the text,the information from major airports is .
A.slowly downloaded B.not quite reliable

3.From the text,we can learn that the wind mapping program .
A.has been put into practical use
B.is being experimented
C.is just an idea under discussion
D.has finally failed for lack of money
4.What is the text mainly about?()
A.Scientists’ mapping wind to sense terrorist attacks.
B.Whether wind mapping program is useful or not.
C.How the wind mapping program works.
D.The importance of wind mapping program.
语篇解读:美国科学家在很多主要城市安装了测量风向的传感器,目的是更加精确地为防范生化武器的袭击提供信息。
答案及剖析:1.A 推理判断题。由文章第一段的...to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in...attack可知选A项。
2.D 细节理解题。由第四段的描述可知,来自主要机场的信息离市中心太远,以至于它们提供的信息用处不大,故选D项。
3.B 细节理解题。由第二段和最后两段可知,the wind mapping program 正在测试当中,故选B项。
4.A 主旨大意题。文章的第一段为本文的主题段,由此可知A项正确。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
NOT all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars.Often they relive experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill,which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience.They hope it might reduce,or possibly wipe out,the effect of painful memories.
In November,experts tested a drug on people in the US and France.The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain,So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced,not that the memories are wiped out.They are not sure to what degree people's memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea,while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people's lives.They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually come with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman,a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people's memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity.They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are.I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser,a medical ethicist.
66.The passage is mainly about
.
A.a new medical invention
B.a new research on the pill
C.a way of wiping out painful memories
D.an argument about the research on the pill
67.The drug tested on people can
.
A.cause the brain to fix memories
B.stop people remembering bad experiences
C.prevent body producing certain chemicals

.

D.the pill has already been produced and used by the public America

A.some memories can ruin people's lives.
