　　(2024·江西高三上学期七校联考)

　　“I’ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope，but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to his

　　father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to

　　death outside his school gate，must have touched everyone’s

　　heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.

　　But Lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.And，in a strange way，I expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.I find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor，I was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.

　　It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？How many people would want me back for Christmas？It’s a serious thought，one to give me pause.

　　I pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on，I’m sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

　　1．According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph________.

　　A．puts forward the subject of the text

　　B．shows the author’s pity on the kid

　　2．In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us________.

　　A．how much he misses his parents now

　　B．why his parents often appear in his dreams

　　C．when Lucien will get over all his sadness

　　D．how proud he was when he succeeded in life

　　3．What feelings did the author’s mother express in her reply?

　　A．Proud.

　　B．Happy.

　　C．Disappointed.

　　D．Worried.

　　4．In the author’s opinion，the value of a person’s life is________.

　　A．to leave a precious memory to those he loves and cares for

　　B．to have a high sense of duty to the whole society

　　C．to care for what others will remember and treasure

　　D．to share happiness and sadness with his family

　　5．What does the writer mean by mentioning the sentence taken from an old poem?

　　A．Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns.

　　B．Advise parents to stay with their children safely at home.

　　C．Spend every day meaningfully while alive.

　　D．Try to keep violence and murder far away from society.

　　Stick to studying

　　Li Yining，an economics professor at Peking University，said that he would not encourage students to try their luck in the stock market (股市)．“They should stress study，” Li said in his speech at Beijing Foreign Studies University.When asked，the professor said he expected house prices in Beijing to continue to rise.Li thinks the government should provide more affordable houses for low-level income people.

　　Campus cinema

　　Students at over 100 universities will have a digital cinema on campus after the National Day holiday.The 21st Century Digital Film on Campus Project was launched at the end of September.The ticket will cost 3－8 yuan，rather than 30－40 yuan at cinemas in town.Students often download movies online or watch DVDs.Now they can
