Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with a great sense of pride as an American and with humility as a human being that I say to you today what no men have been privileged to say before. “We 36 on the moon,” but the footprints at Tranquility Base belong to 37 the crew of Apollo 11. They were put there by hundreds of thousands of people across the country, people in the 38 , industry and universities, the teams and crews that preceded us, all who tried hard throughout the years with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.
Those footprints belong to the American people and 39 , the representatives, who accept it and 40 it ——the challenge of the moon. And, since we came in 41 for all mankind, those footprints belong also to all people of the world. The moon 42 impartially（不偏不倚地）on all those looking 43 from our spinning earth, so we do hope the benefits of space exploration will be spread equally with a harmonizing influence on all mankind.
Scientific exploration implies investigation on the 44 . The result can never be wholly expected. Charles Lindberg said, “Scientific accomplishment is a path, not a (n) 45 ; a path leading to and disappearing in mystery.”
Our steps in space have been a 46 of this country’s way of life, as we open our doors ad windows to the 47 to view our successes and failures and as we 48 with all nations our 49 . The Saturn, Columbia, and Eagle and the Extravehicular Mobility Unit have 50 to Neil, Mike and me that this nation can produce equipment of the highest quality and dependability. This should give all of us 51 and inspiration to overcome some of the more difficult problem here on earth. The Apollo lesson is that national goals can be met where there is strong enough 52 to do so.
The 53 step on the moon was a step toward our 54 planets and finally toward the stars. “A 55 step for a man,” was a statement of a fact, “a giant leap for mankind,” is a hope for future.
Thank you.

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。
A
Washington Irving was American’s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States.
The respect in which he was held was partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his politeness, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, and his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high surroundings, was most finished, elegant, humorous; socially the equal of the most cultured Europeans.” In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford——an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation——and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain. Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but deliberate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without enthusiasm, and never did practise seriously. He was not affected by his strict Presbyterian home environment, often going to both social gatherings and the theatre.
56. The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was __________.
A. an America’s first man of letters
B. a great writer who was successful in his own country and other parts of the world as well
C. a man who won the respect of other writers because of his high social status
D. a man who was able to move from literature to politics
57. What is implied by the comment about Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?
A. Irving’s great popularity resulted in the admiration of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne.
B. More Americans than Britains admired Irving.
C. Irving’s work was not only popular, but also of high literary quality.
D. Irving’s success was attributed to his family background.
58. What can be said about Irving’s law career?
A. He only began to practise law late in life.
B. He spent very little time working as a lawyer.
C. He never practiced law although he studied it.
D. He worked as a lawyer with great enthusiasm.
59. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving’s Presbyterian background on his life?
A. It had almost no effect on his life.
B. It promoted his interest in law.
C. It encouraged his love for literature.
D. It enabled him to become a successful writer.
B
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. Whatever the person is, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become concentrated on some books, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment——without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading without any definite plan. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing——something which had only vaguely（含糊不清地）interested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated（插图）and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Booksellers must be both long-suffering and tolerant.
60. In a good bookshop __________.
A. the shop assistant greets you in a friendly way
B. you feel obliged to buy one of the books
C. your heart is contented
D. no shop assistant will approach you unless his service is called
61. It is very unwise to enter a bookshop and buy __________.
A. a best-selling novel on brass-rubbing
B. a book on ancient coins
C. a book on the subject that vaguely interests you
D. a book well illustrated and expensive
62. According to the writer, the best way to escape the realities of routine life is __________.
A. to have a long chat with an assistant in a bookshop
B. to stay in a bookshop, being absorbed in reading books of various kinds
C. to buy a best-selling novel to read
D. to wander about in the streets
63. The best title of this selection would be __________.
A. On Buying Books
B. Bookshops and Assistants
C. Booklovers and bookshops
D. How to Escape the Realities of Everyday Life in a Bookshop
C
What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first in the meantime. You have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frond Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safe way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions（溶液）or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best things of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket（牙槽）in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.
64. This passage is mainly about __________.
A. how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B. how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C. how Dr Courts and other researchers made their experiments
D. how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
65. Dr Courts tested __________.
A. man-made teeth
B. teeth dried in the open air
C. teeth pulled for various reasons
D. teeth put back in their sockets
66. The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it __________.
A. in cell-culture medium
B. in milk
C. in water
D. in the open air
67. Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out toothin because __________.
A. milk works better to keep the tooth healthy
B. milk causes less pain
C. cell-culture medium is not usually handy
D. cell-culture medium is more expensive
68. “Dr Courts said that the best of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth.” In the sentence, the word best means __________.
A. cheapest and healthiest
B. least painful and cheapest
C. quickest and least painful
D. easiest and healthiest
D
Large changes in all of the world’s deeply cherished sporting habits have been noticed. Whether it’s one of London’s parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking up rugby, or the Super bowl rivaling（与……竞争）the British Football Cup Final as a televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture.
That annual bicycle race, the tour de France, much loved by the French, is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been controlled by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.
The people who really matter welcome the change toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest（投资，入股）in teams. So it does them exactly a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.
This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations. Sell the game and you can sell Cola or Budweiser as well. The skilful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Super bowl are already astronomical（天文的，巨大的）. With a seat at $ 5, gate receipts alone were a shocking $ 10,000,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $ 100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching.
So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising income, without giving any thought for the integrity（整体，完整）of a sport which relies for it's the most important guality on the flowing nature of the action.
Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them play at a higher and higher level. In boxing we have already seen very many, dubious world title categories because people will not pay to see anything less than a “World Tide” fight, and this means that the title fights have to be held in different countries around the world!
69. A globalization of sporting culture means that __________.
A. more people are taking up sports.
B. traditional sports are getting popular.
C. many local sports are becoming international
D. foreigners are more interested in local sports
70. Which of the following is NOT related to the large changes?
A. Good economic returns. B. revival of sports
C. Communications technology. D. Marketing strategies.
71. What is the author’s attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?
A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Reserved. D. Critical.
E
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can present the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who had been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These false apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these false apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine sorrow, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old child might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that searching the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
72. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, __________.
A. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized.
B. she does not realize that the child has been hurt.
C. the child may find the apology easier to accept.
D. the child may feel that he owes her an apology.
73. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” in the third paragragh most probably means “ ”.
A. You have good reason to get upset
B. I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
C. I apologize for hurting your feelings
D. I’m at fault for making you upset
74. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because __________.
A. it gets one into the habit of making empty promises
B. it may make the other person feel guilty
C. it is not clear and ineffective
D. it is hurtful and insulting
75. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is __________.
A. a social issue calling for immediate attention
B. not necessary among family members
C. a sign of social progress
D. not as simple as it seems
