To receive a Seniors Card you must be a permanent resident of Queensland and be aged 60 or over
A Seniors Card is intended for all Queensland residents aged 60 and oven The Seniors
Queensland，some interstate discount and access to the FREE Senior Shopper service．
To receive a Seniors Card you must be a Queensland resident．Applicants for a Queensland
Seniors Card must have their principal place of residence in Queensland for at least six months
of the year．Additionally this address must be registered with at least one of the following
government agencies：
If you meet these criteria and your
principal place of residence is in
Queensland，you can
apply for a card．However,if you live primarily in another Australian state，you will need to
apply for a Seniors Card from the office closest to your home．
56．If you have a Seniors Card,you can
A．participate in businesses B．provide discounts
C．get free services everywhere D．obtmn some discounts or price reductions
57．To get a Seniors Card,you should ．
A．have a registered address B．make your income known

B
Kidsin a Sudanese refugee(难民)camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football．NBA superstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a
grass pitch for$1．000．
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil．Or maybe he just wants to
do something—anything—to give these children some hope．But he is told，politely,that grass
is not what the kids need．
This scene appears in 3 Point，a new documentary,which shows the Houston Rockets star
coming face—to－face with the reality that life is more than sport．
McGrady,29，writes on his website that he~aveled to Africa because he was tired of only
reading about it in news．“Who were the faces behind the statistics?”He said．“I needed to see it
formyself．
And he did．He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and
famine．He slept in a tent．He kept away from minefields．He talked with people who have been
But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass．Spon gave
him a chance，so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees．
McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn?t bother going to college．
Instead，he leaped right into the NBA．Since that move，basketball has given him a handsome living，but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people
As McGrady would learn in Africa，most people see sports as just a break from life?s
difficulties．They don?t mistake it for 1ife
itself．
Only McGrady knows how this
Africa trip changed him，but I?d bet that，
at the very least，it has given him a new
sense for what is truly meaningful．
McGrady doesn?t own an NBA
championship ring．He hasn?t risen to the
heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan．
But，perhaps，now he knows he doesn?t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world
59．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．While in Africa，McGrady behaved considerately．
B．The trip to Africa has changed McGrady?s fife totally．
C．McGrady should be blamed for wanting to buy kids grass．
D．McGrady suffered as much as the African kids in his childhood．
60．What does the underlined word“eyed”'in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A．Mtnessed．B．Selected．C．Examined．D Researched．
61．After becoming an NBAplayer,McGrady
A．1eads a different life from ordinary people
B．1ives far away from other people
C．was once removed from NBA
D．refused to go to college
62．In this passage，the writer mainly tells us
A．McGrady took a trip to Africa
B．African peoplelead a poor life today
C．African people don?t take sport for life
D．McGrady offered his help to African children
A machine which makes water out of
air could become the greatest household
invention since the microwave．
Using the same technology as a
dehumiditier(除湿器)，the Water Mill is
able to create a ready supply of drinking
water by getting it from a limitless source－
the air．
The company behind the machine says
not only does it offer all altemative to
bottled water in developed countries，but it is a solution for the millions who face a dally water
shortage．
The machine works by drawing in damp air through a filter and over a cooling element which
changes it into water droplets．It call produce up to 12 liters a day．The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over,as the humidity(湿度)in the air increases．In keeping with its ecodevelopment，the machine uses the same amount ofelectricity as three fight bulbs．Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said：…'The demand for wate r is off the chart．People are looking
for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable”．
The machine，which is about 3 feet wide，is likely to cost￡800 when it goes on sale here
in the spring．Its maker,Canadian firm Element Four,estimates(估计)that a liter of water will
cost around 20 pence to produce．
Environmentalists claim half the world?s population will face water shortage because of
climate change by 2080．One in five humans is said to lack access to safe drinking water．
TheWaterMillis not effectivein areaswith below about 30 percent relative humidity,but
with average relative humidity in England of more than 70 percent that won?t be much of an
issue here．，
63．According to the author,the biggest advantage of the machine is its ．
A.little power use B．proper size C．unlimited source D．high production
64．We can conclude from the passage that the machine ．
A．carl beused everywhere
C．has notbeen on sale
B．will replace the water distribution system
D．will solve the problem of water shortage
65．What is necessary for the machine to work?
A·Enough air．B．Enough humidity．C．Enough water．D．Enough containers．
66．What would be the best title for this passage?
C．Filter to Draw in Damp Air D．Modem Dehumidifier on Sale
D
Just as the stock(股票)market rises and falls in response to what people are wilting to put
their money behind，we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response
to our beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge
our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy For example，imagine that your
family of origin had a befief that musical talent was not something they possessed．As a member
of that group，you would likely hold that sanle belief about yourself．As a result，even ifyou had
a great desire to create music，you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself,fearing that your inVestment(投资)would not pay off．Even if you had the courage to follow your passion．
your inner belief that you are not born talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing
your energy in your dream．
On the other hand．If you found away to release that negative belief,agreat flood of energy would pour forth，greatly increasing the likefihood of your success．How much energy we are
wilting to invest in the various ideas，dreams，and visions we carry within is like the mollev
people are，or are not，willing to invest in the various products available for wade on the stock
market.And in both cases，belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get
behind something．One way to open up the possibility for greater snccess in our inner economies
is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think．There are other more
reliable things of success that we can put our faith in，such as passion，feeling，and sense．Some
of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain．
trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work．
In the same way,we can learn to trust our heart?s desires and onr sense to guide us．
questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves．As we
take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible，we free up the resources that have the
power to make our inner economy prosper．
67．We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that
A．our befief is not reliable B。belief is not so important in our success
C．befiefis an obstacle to our Success D．our belief determines our Success in some way
68，According to the passage，if a family of origin has passion for literature，the members of the
family will probably
A．write poems B．hate hterature
C．enter the field of fiterature D．teach literature
69．We Call put our faith in the following things of success except ．
70．Thepurposeofthe authoris ．
A．toteachus alesson
B．to give us some useful suggestions
C．to encourage us to invest in the stock market
D．to tell us conlinon people have negative beliefs

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites
you?ve visited．Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or
cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
In fact，it?s likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch
you without your permission?It might be a girlfriend，a marketing company,a boss，a policeman
or a criminal．Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen——the 21st
century equal to being caught naked(裸露的)．
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,though it's important to reveal(透露)yourself
to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times．Actually few boundaries remain．The
digital breadcrumbs(面包屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who
you are，where you are and what you like．In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal
what you think．Like it or not，increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret
The key question is：Does that matter?For many Americans．the answer apparently is”no”．
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing
it.A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy,with 60 percent of
resp ondents saying they feel their privacy is”slipping away,and that bothers me．?…
But people say one thing and do another．Only a small part of Americans change
any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at
tollbooths(收费亭)to avoid using theEZ—Pass systemthat cantrack(跟踪)automobile movements．And few tum down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alessandro
Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social
Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券)．
But privacy does matter—at least sometimes．It's like health；when you have it，you don?t
notice it．Only when it?S gone do you wish you?d done more to protect it．
71．FromParagraph2，we can infer
A．Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology
B．People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age
C．In the 21st century people try every means to look into others?secrets
72．What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A．There should be a distance even between friends．
B．There should be fewer quarrels between friends
C．Friends should always be faithful to each other．
D．Friends should open their hearts to each other．
73．Why does the author say“we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?
A．Thereare alwayspeoplewhoare curious aboutothers?affairs．
B．Many se arch engines profit by reveafing people?S identities．
C．People leave traces around when using modem technology．
D．Modem society has finally developed into an open society．
74．What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?
A．They change behavios that might disclose their identity．
B．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it．
C．They rely more and more on electronic equipment．
D．They use various loyalty cards for business deals．
75．According to the passage，privacy is like health in that
A．its importance is rarely understood
B．itis something that Can easily be lost
C．people will make every effort to keep it
D．people don?t treasure it until they lose it
