Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。

江苏省2014届高三英语一轮复习阅读理解攻略训练（1）第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWe observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears (ancestors) prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defendingfreedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it.I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.56. What should friends and foes know?A. That the United States is powerful.B. That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.C. That the United States is governed by liberals.D. The rights of man come from the hand of God.57. What is Kennedy’s promise to the world?A. To support liberty.B. To abolish all forms of human poverty.C. To visit each country at least once.D. To support and friend.58. What should citizens of the world ask of America?A. How America can help them.B. If America plans to invade their country.C. What they can do for freedom.D. What they can do for America.59. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.B. We should remember we are the first revolution.C. Our nation has always been committed to human rights.D. We should assure the survival and the success of liberty.BWhat's the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China! India! Brazil! How about trade!When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit (赤字) in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying（末日说）. Imports, which increasedto $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.But there's another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession –a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States – but an economic expansion.The rising volume of trade –more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United States –is good news for many sectors. Companies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbersshows growing vitality in foreign markets – when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and U.S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price – agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GM's balance sheet –and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable.One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. That's to be expected, given what we've been through. But there's a bigger challenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but it's no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home.Companies and individuals who don't have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lion's share of economic opportunity in our world.60. How do pessimists interpret the U.S. trade deficit in June?A. It reflects Americans' preference for imported goods.B. It signifies a change in American economic structure.C. It is the result of America's growing focus on domestic market.D. It could lead to slower growth of the national economy.61. What does the author say about the trade data of the past two years?A. It indicates that economic activities in the U.S. have increased.B. It shows that U.S. economy is slipping further into recession.C. It signals decreasing domestic demand for goods and services.D. It reflects the fluctuations in the international market.62.. Who particularly benefit from the rising volume of trade?A. People who have expertise in international trade.B. Consumers who favor imported goods and services.C. Producers of agricultural goods and raw materials.D. Retailers dealing in foreign goods and services.63. What is the author's advice to U.S. companies and individuals?A. To import more cheap goods from developing countries.B. To move their companies to where labor is cheaper.C. To increase their market share overseas.D. To be alert to fluctuations in foreign markets.CA MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook."We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda."At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit .64. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can ____.A. build up their confidence at schoolB. find work experience opportunitiesC. improve their social skills for the futureD. play an active role in the change of society65. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB. Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC. the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday66. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young InspirationsB. Young People Find a World of OpportunityC. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to ParisD. Debates Help Youth with Their GradesDIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get — a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen -- teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students have a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class -- seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the writtenword. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them," he repeated. “No wonder they’re bor ed. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named the problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of m e by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.67. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ______.A. the writer became an optimistic personB. the writer was very happy about her new jobC. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USAD. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey68. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem asa new teacher?A. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.B. She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice.C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.D. She didn’t like teaching English literature.69. The students behaved badly in the writer's classes because ______.A. they were eager to embarrass herB. she didn't really understand themC. they didn't regard her as a good teacherD. s he didn’t have a good command of English70. The taskmaster’s attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be bestdescribed as ______.A. cruel but encouragingB. fierce but forgivingC. sincere and supportiveD. angry and aggressive阅读：56—59 BACB 59-63 DACC 64-66 DBB 67-70 CABC。

江苏省2014届高三英语一轮复习阅读理解攻略训练（8）请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AListening to a favorite son might promote the brain’s ability to respond to other stimuli(刺激) in people with chaos of consciousness.Music has been shown to have a beneficial influence on cognitive(认知) process in healthy people and those who have brain damage. For example, daily music therapy can help to increase cognitive recovery.Fabien Perrin at the University of Lyon, France, and colleagues recorded brain activity in four patients while they were reading a list of people’s names, including their own names. Before the list, they listened to either their favorite music—chosen by family or friends –or “musical noise”. The team then repeated the experiment with te n healthy volunteers.In all four patients, playing the music rather than musical noise promoted the quality of the brain’s response to their own names, bringing it closer to the brain response of the healthy volunteers to hearing their names. The work was presented at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting in Brighton, UK, last month.Perrin has two theories about what’s going on. “Listening to preferred music excites our memory of ourselves—so it could make it easier for the response to the information such as our own names,” he says. “Another theory is that music promotes awareness, so maybe it temporarily increases consciousness and recognition of one’s own names becomes easier.”“The familiar music might be causing an emoti onal arousal effect, and once the patient with brain damage is aroused, there is a small window that opens for increased communication and thebrain responds to the name,” suggests Carsten Finke, an expert at Charite Medical School in Berlin, Germany, who was not involved in the study.So is Perrin’s music waking some form of consciousness in the people with brain damage? “I haven’t come across any responses like this to music before and it’s too early to conclude that it has any therapeutic effects in the se patients,” says Adrian Owen at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada.56. What did Fabien Perrin find about the four patients in the experiment?A. Their cognitive recovery was increased after listening to music noise.B. They responded to music noise more quickly than to their favorite music.C. Their consciousness and recognition of music noise became easier.D. They could react to their own names better after listening to their favorite music.57. From Adrian Owen’s words, we can infer that _______________.A. music can increase consciousnessB. preferred music can excite one’s memory of his ownC. music has no therapeutic effects on people with brain damageD. more research should be done to confirm the influence of music58. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. People with brain damage like listening to music.B. Familiar music could help people with brain damage.C. People with brain damage can recognize their own names.D. Everyone can increase cognitive recovery through music.BSince we started offering China private tour packages on North-America market in 2006, CTSIhas enjoyed great reputation.Whether you design your tour route or choose one of our pre-designed packages, we will be able to provide a private tour for you.

Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013mand 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the sprin g and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”63. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ?A. They were attracted there by wildlife.B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were introduced there by sailors accidently.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.64. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.65. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _________.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.D. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.66. What can we infer from the passage?.A. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.B. Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife.C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achievements.D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island.DEvery school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step.“Hey, Bigfoot!”“Geez, you’re going to start an earthquake!”Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool.“Four eyes!”“Couldn’t you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?”In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body.I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new program began to work. People who would never have acknowledged my existence before were suddenly seeking me out.I’d been feeling pretty good until one day I went to Christine’s house to help her fill envelopes. Going into each envelope was invitation to Christine’s birt hday party; it was a big event at a fancy hotel. Complete with dinner. She asked me to help her address these envelopes. There was no envelope for me.My heart was broken. I tried to escape from all the eyes. High school had to be better, right？Yes and no. now that I’m here, I know there are still lots of shallow people judging you on what you’re wearing or how cool your hair is . but there are also kids who talk to you because theyliked your answers or just as you’re kind, honest, and a good friend.I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Children’s hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids.I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit hospital, five-year-old Terry grasps my hand, “Morri, you are so nice. I want to grow up to be just like you.”67. Why was Morri laughed at by her classmates when she was in primary school?A. She had weak ankles and eyesight.B. Her glasses couldn’t cover up her face.C. She couldn’t get along well with them.D. She looked like an overweight elephant.68. Which of the following is the real reason for Morri competing on the city swim team?A. To win more ribbons.B. To shift others’ attention from her face.C. To develop a killer body.D. To have red wet eyes.69. From what Morri experienced in the last year of middle school, we can learn that __________.A. her classmates thought highly of herB. she was popular among her classmatesC. she was often cheated by her classmatesD. her classmates just took advantage of her70. The passage is intended to encourage people to __________.A. address as many as invitation envelopes as possibleB. take more sport activities including swimmingC. take others’ comments into careful considerationD. take positive attitude towards disadvantages in life56—58 DDB 59—62 DACD 63—66 CDCB 67—70 ABDD。

The reason for doing the experiment secretly is that the researchers _____________.A. wanted to get a comparatively more exact resultB. had known they wanted to do something illegallyC. meant to get the co-operation of their colleaguesD. intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price65. People behave honestly under watchful gaze of eyes because _____________.A. they want to leave a good impressionB. they fear to be laughed at by othersC. they've got the nature through evolutionD. they take the photo for a real pair of eyes66. The underlined phrase" sheds light on" in the last paragraph means _____.A. causes somebody to become cheerfulB. makes something easier to understandC. comes upon something by accidentD. brings something into the broad daylightDKuss Middle School serves students in Fall River, Mass. , a former mill town that has struggled economically for decades. Students at Kuss have struggled, too, usually falling short of making the academic progress required under the No Child Left Behind law.Then, last year, the school experimented with extending the school day. Teachers got paid at a higher hourly rate.Students weren't thrilled at first with leaving school at 4:15 p.m. instead of at 2:20 p.m. But the added hours gave them more time for physical education and let them select special interest classes. By the end of the year, student scores had risen by enough to enable Kuss to make theprogress required under the federal No Child Left Behind law.The only surprise is that more districts haven't lengthened school schedules set decades ago to accommodate (适应) a farm economy rather the information economy of today.New research suggests the time is ready for a change:Matched against 39 other developed countries, the United States is near the bottom in the rankings of average weekly instructional time in school. Measured over 12 years, students in the top-scoring countries spend the equivalent of a full extra year in school.US students perform poorly on math and science tests compared to their international peers, according to a US Education Department comparison released earlier this month. In math, American 15-year-old scored near the bottom among the study's 30 developed countries.Most countries that boost the number of minutes spent on math instruction find pay offs in improved math scores, according to a study released this month by the Brookings Institution. Small increases in the school day are more effective than a longer school year, the report concluded.The most encouraging news about the benefits of extending the school day comes from Massachusetts, where an experiment with 10 schools, including Kuss, appears to be working. Those 10 schools lengthened their instructional days by 25% and boosted their state scores in math, English and science at all grades.Perhaps the concept won't work everywhere. Certainly, it won't instantly be popular. But it's obvious that a problem exists or that adding class time seems to help.67. What is the main idea of the above passage?A. Experiments with extended school hours produce academic gains.B. Kuss Middle School sets a good example for US education.C. Academic progress has achieved under the No Child Left Behind law.D. Information age calls for more instructional lime at all schools.68. A longer school day is suggested for the following reasons except that _________.A. students from many developed countries spend more time at schoolB. American students do a bad job at science subjectsC. teachers are paid at a higher rate with time addedD. a longer school day works better than a longer school year69. Which statement is true of Kuss Middle School?A. Kuss Middle School lies in where a farm economy is changing to an information one.B. Kuss Middle school has joined the federal "No Child Left Behind" progrannC. Neither teachers nor students are happy with the longer school day.D. Adding class time functions at Kuss Middle School.70. The writer has expressed ____________.A. a positive attitude towards adding school timeB. a negative attitude towards adding school timeC. a changing attitude towards adding school timeD. a right attitude towards adding school time。

阅读理解 AA Lesson from the ElderGrandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes．His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and ask the many questions that children ask．One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story．"Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present--- a jack-knife．I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight．Some town boys came by and saw me．They surrounded me and started saying bad things．They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife．The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys．I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing．I hate them．I hate them all．The elder Cherokee, with eyes that have seen too much, lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face．Grandfather said, " Let me tell you a story．I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do．But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy．It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die．I have struggled with these feelings many times．It is as if two wolves are inside me．．．It is a terrible fight．One wolf is good and does no harm．He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended．It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way．This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth, and faith．The other wolf is full of anger．The littlest thing will set off his fiercest temper．He fightseveryone, all the time, for no reason．He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much．It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing．This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority．Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my spirit．This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too．"The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied ．．．"The one you feed．"56.The boy was angry because ____．A. he was not satisfied with his presentB. his back was badly injured in a fightC. he had waited for his father for too longD. his jack-knife had been taken away by some boys57. The angry wolf would probably be described as ____．A. aggressiveB. sympatheticC. modestD. unsuccessful58. We can learn from the third paragraph that ____．A. "hate" is healthyB. "hate" hurts oneselfC. "hate" is complicatedD. "hate" harms one's enemies59. What did Grandfather mean by saying "The one you feed" in the last paragraph?A. We should feed the two wolves equally．B. Living in harmony with others is important．C. Our feelings should be expressed at the right time．D. The choices we make determine who we will become．BCell Phones Are the New CigarettesWhen you get in your car, you reach for it．When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it．When you get into a lift, you play with it．Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors （顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．Sounds extreme, but we've all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him．Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instantmessaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents．"Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says．If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．60. Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?A. Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．B. More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．C. Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．D. Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．61. The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means ____．A. controlB. ignoreC. developD. rescue62. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that ．A. women use cell phones more often than menB. talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easyD. cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherCReading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud . Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its ad vantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social，cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.63.Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.64 The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed __________ .A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers65 Educationalists are still arguing about ___________ .A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material66. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do? ____________.A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people s way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.DYou never se e him, but they’re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand(反抗、抵挡) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They’re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device’s homing signal five days later, the discoverymarked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots’ conversations,and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investi gators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an isolated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashe s over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.67. What does the author say about the black box?A. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.B. Its ability to ward off (抗御) disasters is unbelievable.C. It is an indispensable device on an airplane.D. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.68. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?A. The total number of passengers on board.B. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.C. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.69. What do you think was the reason why the black box was redesigned in 1965?A. The early models didn’t provide the needed data.B. The early models often got damaged in the crash.C. Too much space was needed for its installation.D. New materials became available by that time.70. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C. They have stopped sending homing signals.D. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.阅读理解DABD CAD CBDA BCBD。

(A)Here are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment:51．Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A．insists grades should become optional in the near futureB．believes in the advantages of assessment based on gradesC．is concerned about improving students’ creativityD．supports using students’ interests to measure their abilities52．Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. educators to pay more attention to gradesC. students to compete for better gradesD. students to take part in music, drama, and sports53．According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A.

The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.(B)The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me.I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?Learning how to receive the love and support t hat came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,”I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me fe el good to be able to do something for you.”Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest w ork you will ever do.”In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.55. What made the author feel sad?A. Her fiancé’s sudden de ath.B. Constant heavy snow.C. Her fiancé abandoning her.D. Her job being refused again.56. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?A. Surprised.B. Angry.C. Ashamed.D. Moved.57. It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness.A. herselfB. her friendsC. her fiancéD. a snowplow59. What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?A. To talk about her hardest work in her life.B. To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé.C. To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely.D. To tell us the importance of friendship.(C)Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism （批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters many take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.59. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences60. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress61. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is .A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout(D)When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something l ike, “Wait—I'm not dead yet”when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet”chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet”chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.62. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs.B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage.D. Giving a summary of the passage.63. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?A. is weaker thanB. is stronger thanC. is better thanD. is worse than64. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.65. Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?A. Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.B. Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.C. Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.D. Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his own。

Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury death for Americans aged 65 and older?Each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falls can be prevented.Here are 4 simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling● If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.● Exercises can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age. Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.● If you are over 50 and haven’t exercised regularly, check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you.Increase Your Home’s Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling RisksAbout half of all falls happen at home. To increase accessibility and make your home safer:● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.● Improve the lighting in your home.● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side EffectsAge can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it’s important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take.● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling . this especially important with over-the-conter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your Vision Checked RegularlyVision problems can increase your chances of falling.●You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.●To reduce your risk of falling , have your vision checked by an eye doctor every nyear for early detection and correction of vision problems. If you can’t see something, it’s harder to avoid it, and this increase your risk of falling.71. Steps/ Measures/Ways 72. balance 73. regularly 74. fall/slip 75.

the passage, we can know that ．A．the three apps all support audio and photo forms．B．college study is undoubtebtedly full of ease and funC．college students used to do research work in the library or via computersD．students can record lectures and send them to the cloud without permission58．Which of the following is true about the apps?A．They can only be used on smartphones．B．Evemote and Wikipanion Plus are free．C．Evemote can merely be used on a computer．D．They improve learning efficiency and pleasure．BIt is often assumed that people with parents who lived to be very old are more likely to live to a grand old age themselves．"But that's just not true - our study shows that hereditary factors don't play a major role and that lifestyle has the biggest impact．" says professor Lars Wilhelmsen, referring to the 1913 Men Study that formed the basis of the current research．Those who did not smoke, consumed mild amounts of coffee and had a good socio-economic status at the age of 50 (measured in terms of housing costs), as well as good physical working ability at the age of 54 and low cholesterol (胆固醇) at 50 had the greatest chance of celebrating their 90th birthday．"We're breaking new ground here．" says Wilhelmsen． "Many of these factors have previously been identified as playing a role in cardiovascular(心血管的 )disease, but here we are showing for the first time that they are important for survival in general,"He believes that it is significant that the research illustrates so clearly that it is thesum of our own habits that has the biggest impact．"The study clearly shows that we can influence several of the factors that decide how old we get," says Wilhelmsen． "This is positive not only for the individual, but also for society as it doesn't need any major drug costs,"The study has been published in the Journal of Internal Medicine．The 1913 Men study started up in 1963． A third of all male 50-year-olds in Gothenburg were called for a check-up that focused on cardiovascular health． Every ten years since, a new group of 50-year-olds has been called in and those who were already taking part in the study have been given another check-up． This has enabled researchers to follow the development of illnesses in a specific age group, and to compare the health of 50-year-olds in 2003 with that of 50-year-olds in 1963, for example． Women have also been included in the study since 2003． Data have been studied over the years． including BMI (体质指数), smoking habits, cholesterol, exercise habits and blood pressure,The men born in l913 were examined when they were 50, 54,60, 67, 75 and 80． Of the 855 men who took part in the study from the start, lll (13%) were still alive at the age of 90． Over the years the material has brought out many research articles． An interesting result came in 2008 when researchers were able to show that the drop in the number of smokers, combined with lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure, between 1963 and 2003 could offer an explanation for the marked downturn in the number of heart attacks during this 40-year period．59． Which of the following statements is true'?A．Socio-economic status determines how healthy we are．B．Cholesterol plays an important role in keeping us alive．C．The amount of coffee consumption has an effect on our health．D．How long we can live depends on how long our parents lived．60．The 1913 Men Study helps us to realize that ．A．we can do something to lengthen our lifeB． we don't need to take drugs for our diseasesC． we can always predict how long we can liveD． we need to balance the numbers of men and women61．The earlier men involved in the 1913 Men Study were examined in for the second time．A．1917 B．1967 C．1923 D．197362． From the article we can infer that_ ．A．more men than women are in the habit of smokingB．scientists began to study men's habits in the year 1913C．women tend to Live a longer life than man because of their good lifestyleD．heart attack is related to smoking, cholesterol take-in and blood pressureCMany people believe that the common garden slug【鼻涕虫） is nothing more than a pest that should be wiped out． In attempts to beautify their yards, people employ various poisons, strategically chosen plants, and gardening techniques． Success is attained when no trace of slugscan be found, although the worn-out gardener still watches and waits for their return, ascompletely ridding a garden of slugs is almost impossible．Experts, however, have discovered that the slug's evil reputation as an enemy of home gardeners may, in fact, be groundless to some degree． Although it is true that a slug can devour【吞食）garden plants from the roots up in amazing quantities, it also produces nutrients（养分）for the soil, which help other plants grow． The diet of a slug consists of plant waste and mould, as well as living plants, making it a sort of natural recycling center． The unique structure of a slug digestive system enables it to take these discarded（弃置） products, transform them into the nutrients that plants need, and then release those nutrients harmlessly as wastes．To some, this situation is unacceptable． No gardener wants to sacrifice his or her plants just to gain a few nutrients that could easily be provided by fertilizers(化肥）In order to achieve a balance, both slug and gardener may have to compromise some things． One relatively easy step is to separate plants with high slug appeal from those with low appeal． That way, the sections of the garden spared for plants with high slug appeal can contain plants that the gardener is willing to sacrifice so as to protect those plants that have a lower slug appeal ． Another possibility is to leave some ground-covering plants in a less tidy state, since slugs particularly enjoy semi-decayed (半腐烂的)plant matter． The slugs will then be drawn toward this decaying matter instead of toward the living plants．These measures may seem slow and difficult but they are still preferable to commercial slug repellents （驱虫剂） for several reasons． The topsoil of a garden is often highly lacking in nutrients, due to chemical damage caused by just such products． The fertilizer industry sells millions of pounds of dirt mixed with the nutrients necessary for a healthy garden every year． Yet these are the very same minerals that a healthy slug population would provide at no cost． Moreover, since slugs find newly dead slugs highly appetizing． the slug population is unlikely to decreasesignificantly as a result of these severe measures．63．According to the passage, the wise way to deal with slug problem is that we should _ ,A．apply as many kinds of commercial repellents as possible to the plant rootsB．sacrifice some plants and keep semi-decayed plant matter as food for slugsC．employ all possible gardening techniques to get rid of slugs completelyD．protect the garden from slugs by keeping it in a clean and tidy state 64．Commercial slug repellents are not advisable, because they__ __A．do chemical harm to the top soil of a gardenB．make chemical fertilizers not so effectiveC．make products not so healthy for eatingD．they help slugs reproduce more quickly65．Which word can be used to complete the structure of the passage?A．plants B．mould C．nutrients D．poisonsD"Joe? Is chat you?" The woman speaking to me at he baseball game looked somewhat familiar, "Marci? ""It IS you ! " she exclaimed, smiling broadly． "God, it's good to see you again !"It was good to see Marci, too． Very often during the past few decades, I've wondered about her, I almost tried to reach her a few years ago after talking to a shared friend, who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci． So, running into her at the baseball game was, at the very least, just happening by chance．We spent a few minutes talking about the business of our lives: kids and grandkids, husbands and houses, education and recreation． It's always a little upsetting to see how few words are required to summarize 32 years of living． We played a little "have you seen．．．?" and "did you know,．．?" And we recalled the good old, bad old days we used to spend together．Then Marci grew quiet for a moment, looking out over the crowd walking about the marketing area at the stadium．"You know, Joe.” she said, "I've always wanted t o tell you．．．how．．．you know．．．how sorry I am for the way I treated you．"Hearing that, I felt I was suffering extreme embarrassment． One does not like to remember when one has been rid of by others roughly and suddenly．"It's OK．" I said． "No big deal．" At least, I thought to myself, not now．"But I was so stupid: she continued．Yes, you were. I thought． "We were both pretty young:' I said．"I know," she said． "But that's no excuse for．．．" She hesitated． then continued． "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you． And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry． So．．．I'm sorry．"The smile on her face was warm and sincere, and there was something in her eyes, it looked a lot like relief—that melted any remains of icy barriers that may have built up within me during the years since she had played Wif'fle ball with my heart．"OK:'I said． "Apology accepted!Overcome by the sweetness of the moment． I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone． But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it .We all carry bitter, discomforting memories of deeds done or undone, and words said or unsaid． And we all bear wounds —some slight, some not so slight—that have been inflicted(打击) upon us by others．The healing balm of forgiveness can calm a troubled conscience and bring peace to an injured soul, even years after the fact．Of course，it isn't enough to just say “I’m sorry,”and "You're forgiven．" While there is indeed great power in those simple words， it is not available to those who are insincere, or who are only looking for a way to control or exploit．But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed , they can open the door to miracles(奇迹 )of the heart and soul –miracles of forgiveness, even at a baseball game．66．When Joe and Marci saw each other by chance at a stadium, they both felt ．A．surprised and delighted B．embarrassed and sorryC．sensitive and curious D．upset and concerned67．What happened after they broke up?A．Joe was angry with Marci and decided not to see her again．B．Marci's life was always full of miseries．C．Joe couldn't forget Marci and tried to get in touch with her．D．They made up with their friend's help．68． From what Marci said, we can learn that she ．A．was always a kind and polite womanB．had more consideration for others than beforeC．had a strong sense of responsibilityD．used to be an honest and reliable woman69．The underl ined part probably means that Marci’s sincere apology ．A．brought comfort and peace to Joe’s soulB．helped them to develop a new friendshipC．awoke the memories of their former daysD．smoothed away all Joe’s anger for her．70．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Power of forgiveness B．An unexpected meetingC．Effect of sharing memories D．An enjoyable baseball game56 – 58 BCD 59 – 62 CABD 63 – 65 BAC 66 – 70 ACBDA。
