One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).

On September 11th, 1988, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, "I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept (哭泣)and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”

“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

56. What happened to the author on September 11th 1988?   

A. He got a baby brother

B. He got a Christmas gift

C. He became four years old

D. He received a doll Ks5u

57. What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?  

A. Impossible.   B. Boring          C. Difficult                  D. Fearful

58. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming? 

A. Excitement.   B. Happiness.       C. Sadness.           D. Disappointment.

59. What is the passage mainly about?   

A. A sad Christmas day                    B. Life with a lovely baby

C. A special Christmas gift.                   D. Memories of a happy family

Computer programmer David Jones earns $35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old boy works for a small company in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s company releases(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.

But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs.” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working

“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “ But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. ”David added : “ I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear. ”

60. In what way is David different from people of his age?    

A. He often goes out with friends

B. He lives with his mother

C. He has a handsome income

D. He graduated with six O-levels

61. What is one of the problems that David is facing now?

B. He has no time to learn driving

C. He has very little spare time

D. He will soon lose his job

62. Why was David able to get the job in the company?   

A. He had done well in all his exams

B. He had written some computer programs

C. He was good at playing computer games

D. He had learnt to use computers at schoolKs5u

63. Why did David decide to leave school and start working?

  Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe. Ks5u

    Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)quality and ly(相对地) safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.

    The authors of both studies stress that these risks are ly small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

68. The text mainly discusses the relationship between        .        

A. heart problems and air quality              B. heart problems and exercising

C. heart problems and smoking         D. heart problems and fatty food

69. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means          

A. ly high                                   B. extremely low

C. ly low                                    D. extremely high

70. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to         .  

A. inform                     B. persuade           C. describe             D. entertain

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life while teaching in Nanjing, China.    71     Now, I have a better understanding of Chinese culture and find it very interesting.

 Family life is quite different in China. In the U.S.A., many young people will leave home after they finish their education and start working.     72     Also, many of my Chinese friends told me that their grandparents lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children. I thought this was unusual because it is rare for grandparents to live with their children and grandchildren in the U.S.A.. It seems that Americans think independence is more important while the Chinese think family relationships are more important.

    73     In the U.S.A., prices are set and you can’t ask for a lower price whereas in China, in some small stores and tourist places, you are expected to bargain. I asked my Chinese friends to teach me how to bargain. They told me that I should ask for 40 percent or 50 percent off the price that the salesperson first offers me.     74     If the salesperson does not agree to my price, I should pretend to leave and he might ask me to come back and sell me the item at a lower price.    75   

A. Then, I should tell the salesperson that the same item is cheaper at another store.

B. Bargaining is another Chinese custom that I have tried to learn.

C. When I left China, I felt glad to understand some customs.

D. When I first came to China, there were many things did not understand.

E. One custom that has been easier to adjust to is not tipping.

F. However, in China, it is common for people to live with their parents until they get married.

G. Bargaining is a skill that you have to practice if you live in China.

知识点:英语

It is known to us that some students always copy other’s homework. One reason is that they have so much homework every day that they feel it boring to do their homework. Besides, some homework is too hard for some of the students to do by themselves . Another reason is that some students are very lazy ,who don’t want to work hard. Some even have no interest in their lessons .

In my opinion, copying other’s homework breaks the school rules. As students, we should be honest and work hard to equip ourselves with knowledge .It’s true that we often meet with difficulty , but we can turn to our teachers or classmates when we are in trouble.
