A．to have ever lived B．to live ever
C．having ever lived D．ever living

A．feeling；to be watching
B．feel；watching
C．feel；to be watching

Ⅴ.阅读理解
I was born in Tuckahoe，Talbot Country，Maryland.I have no accurate(准确的)knowledge of my age，never having seen any record containing it.By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs，and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant(不知情的)．I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday.They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time，harvesting，springtime，or falltime.A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood.The white children could tell their ages，but I could not tell.Why the same right ought to be taken away from me！I was not allowed to ask my master about it.He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite.The nearest estimate(估计)I can live makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age.I come to this，from hearing my master say，some time during 1835，I was about seventeen years old.My mother was named Harriet Bailey.She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey，both colored，and quite dark.
My father was a white man.The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father；but of the correctness of this opinion，I know nothing and I have no means to know.My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother.It is a common custom，in the part of Maryland from which I ran away，to part children from their mothers at a very early age.Frequently，before the child has reached its twelfth month，its mother is taken from it，and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off，and the child is placed under the care of an older woman，too old for field labor.
1．It can be learned from the text that________.
A．the slaves forgot the exact time when they were born
B．the writer didn't know whether his master was his father

A．their birthday B．my age

4．How does the writer feel about not knowing his age?

In 1994，the year after my husband's father died，I planned a surprise for my husband.I wrote to all of his relatives and asked if we could celebrate Christmas together.You know we'd chosen that date for our wedding(婚礼)．Finally，the day came.My husband was greatly surprised when he realized who we were meeting and that I'd brought along all the gifts that he'd been saving for years to give to that side of his family.
All of my husband's aunts and uncles were there.It was 10 years since two of the sisters had last spoken and 20 years since the feud(长期不和)had started.The children of all these aunts and uncles were watching their parents talk to one another for the first time since they finished school.
The cousins came over to ask me how much their part of the dinner had cost.One cousin said，“Do you realize what you've done？You've done what no one was able to do in over 10 years！You_have_to_let_us_pay_for_this_miracle(奇迹)！” I replied simply，“Your words are my gift.My mother taught me that the joy of giving a great gift is greater than any gift given in return.Please，accept this gift from my heart.”
Two weeks later，I received gifts in the mail from each of the cousin's families，each precious for the special thoughts that went into them.But nothing could shine brighter than the joy I felt that night in being able to reunite the family.

V．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
__1__But science may have just proved them right—because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts，according to a study.As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks，this could result in handsome men becoming rather thin on the ground.
__2__For example，Yasmin Le Bon is signed to the same modelling agency as daughter Amber，and Jerry Hall's daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger have both taken to the catwalk.
Dr.Satoshi Kanazawa，of the London School of Economics analyzed data from a survey of 17,000 babies born in Britain in March 1958 and tracked them throughout their lives.__3__When they reached 45，they were asked about the gender of any children they had.
Those rated as attractive were equally likely to have a son or daughter as their first child—but the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son.__4__
Dr.Kanazawa believes that parents tend to produce children who benefit from their own features.__5__So it pays for attractive women to have daughters.But couples blessed with strength and aggression rather than looks are better off having boys，as these characteristics are of more use to males.
A．Women are becoming more beautiful over the generations because attractive women have more children than plain ones.
B．Single girls have always complained that good-looking men are difficult to find.
C．Beauty is of more benefit to a woman than a man.
D．At the age of seven，their attractiveness was rated by their teachers.
E．Put another way，the beautiful women were more likely to have daughters.
F．And it may also explain why many models have daughters who follow in their fascinating footsteps.
