I would arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order.I started pestering my mother to put extra fruit 25 my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the delicacy was put unobserved on her desk. And the 26 was always the same. She would come in and sit down. “How nice!” She would pick the fruit up, then 27 the room. “What thoughtful little child brought me this?” No one claimed the honor, least of all me. “28 it be that I have a secret admirer?” she would ask. I would feel the red rising in my face, and I would sigh with 29 when Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson.One morning, the class was excited. The next day was Miss Benson’s birthday. My heart beat fast---I could give her something 30 . That afternoon was spent combing for wild flowers. I found several kinds.The next morning I hung back as others presented their gifts. 31 I went to the desk and gave the flowers to Miss Benson.

The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell.The Moscow Metro Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.The Hong Kong Metro Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .Shanghai Metro Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.The London Metro Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them re membering to “Mind the gap”.41. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR42. ________ is done with the purpose of making money.A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR43. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________.A. carries the most people each dayB. is the world’s largestC. may be larger than the Chicago “L” in the futureD. is the busiest in the world44. How many subways carry more than 5 million people per day?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BArchaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historiansuse paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don’t break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—buy it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy manual work in this life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.45. Which language does the word “archaeology” come from?A. French.B. GreekC. Roman.D. German。

All of these involve just a few changes to our daily habits.Just walk and limit the use of your car. One of the poster images of pollution is our vehicles. It burns fuel. It is not as efficient as we hope it could be, and we use it every single day. To lessen the effects of the air pollution caused by our vehicles, we should limit their use. If we can walk to our destination then just let us go. Not only do we lessen our carbon dioxide emissions, but we also get a good exercise out of it.Use a laptop instead of a computer desktop. Laptops are more energy efficient compared to their bigger counterparts. A laptop is generally 50 percent more efficient in using electricity. Aside from that there are other benefits of a laptop. It is portable so you can work anywhere you like and that you get powerful features without the large size of desktop units.Turn off the faucet while you are brushing your teeth. It is always a better idea to use a glass when we are brushing our teeth and not to just let the faucet keep on running. Therefore, there is less water to waste while we are cleaning our pearly whites. Simply turn off the faucet when you are not using it.Make good use of natural light. We have a great and natural lamp --- the sun, and we should learn how to take full advantage of it during daytime. So instead of turning on our lights or lamps even if it is still not evening, we should pull up the drapes and let the natural light come in from the windows.These are just some of the best tips for green living, but of course there are still many of these tips if you just search for them. But you can do your own variation any time just always prioritize how you can use less energy and produce even lesser trash and pollution.56.What's the best title for the passage?A.How to Save Our PlanetB.

Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children's hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher 一and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady" or just u the helper". Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.61.Which of the following statements is true?A.Every child in hospital receives some teaching.B.Not enough is known about hospital teaching.C.Hospital teaching is of poor quality.D.The special children's hospitals are worst off.62.It can be inferred from the latest survey that.A.hospital teaching across the country is similarB.each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC.all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD.only one-fourth of the hospital have full-time teacher63.The hospital teachers are found.A. not welcomed by the children and their parentsB. unnecessaryC. not quite helpfulD. capable64.In order to catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to _ .A. hospital teachersB. schoolmatesC. parentsD. school teachers65.We can conclude from the passage that the author is.A.unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitalsB.in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC.unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD.satisfied with the results of the latest survey(C)We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?,, “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul-why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?,, When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, It's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends - or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose so meone tells you, “You're a lucky dog that's being friendly. But Tucky dog”？ There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for " is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.66.This passage is mainly about .A.how to interpret what people sayB.what to do when you listen to others talkingC.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD.Why we go wrong with people sometimes67.According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .A. We fail to listen carefully when they talkB.People tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC.People usually state one thing but means anotherD.We tend to doubt what our friends say68.In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself5 in the second paragraph, the pronoun "it "refers to LA. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck69.When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is .A.notice the way the person is talkingB.take a good look at the person talkingC.mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD.examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture70.The author most probably is a .A. teacher C. philosopherB. psychologist D. doctorPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The world would have been so much better if we all knew to say and do the right thing at the right time. However , that is not the case, especially when it comes to instilling (逐步培养)proper behavior in kids. Behavior modification(BM) techniques were recently created to help in instilling proper behavior in children as well as adults.Behavior modification refers to establishing appropriate behaviors in individuals and discouraging those that are not desirable. The techniques are used in behavior modification therapy that aims to correct and instill appropriate behavior in children.The most commonly used behavior modification techniques are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement and punishment. Positive reinforcement refers to reinforcing a desired behavior through the process of rewarding it. Negative reinforcement behavioral strategies are based on the removal of a negative consequence or a behavior because the desired behavior was performed. Punishment refers to subjecting(使月艮从于)an individual to a negative condition because of an inappropriate behavior.The behavior modification techniques for children are mostly based on positive and negative reinforcement. However, parents should realize that these techniques can't be relied upon totally for child behavior modification. This can be done through effective communication and greater focus on the parent-child relationship. As a parent, don't make the reward a monetary one. Try to make it look more like a privilege than a reward.Although we talk so much about the role of a parent in bringing positive behavior modification in children, both parents and teachers have equally important roles to play. Teachers play their role through preventive classroom management, teaching social problem-solving skills like alternative thinking , and continuous monitoring of a child9s behavior. It is true that there are various behavior modification techniques available for encouraging proper behavior in children. However, there is nothing that can take the place of proper parenting and an affectionate environment.Title： ________ 71 _________I.Introduce to BM•Definition of BM: Establishing appropriate behaviors and 72•Purpose of BM techniques: To correct and 73 in children as well as adults.mon BM techniques•74: Reinforcing a desired behavior by 75•Negative reinforcement: 76 a negative consequence or a behavior•77: Subjecting an individual to 78III.BM techniques for childrenFor parents:•Communicating effectively with children•79 a privilege•Sticking to the same technique80 :•Preventing problems happening in classroom•Teaching how to solve social problem•Monitoring children's behaviors continuouslySection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.A man had a little daughter——an only and much-loved child. The girl was very lovely and beautiful. Every day the girl would sing and dance for him. They lived together happily. He was very proud of her. Whenever talking about his daughter, he always thought he was the happiest father in the world. He lived for her一she was his life. So when one day she became seriously ill, he became like a crazy man, moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health.His best efforts, however, proved unavailing and the child died. He felt his own life was gone with his little daughter. The father became a bitter recluse(隐居者), shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his confidence and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a dream.He was in heaven, witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child's candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her, he seized her in his arms, kissed her tenderly, and then asked, "How is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?H "Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out."Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse, but communicated freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his darling's candlebe extinguished by his useless tears.81.How did the father feel when his daughter died?(No more than 9 words) (2 marks)82.What did the father do after his daughter died?(No more than 12 words) (2 marks)83.Why would the father like to communicate with his former friends again?

They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) —some of the world‘s wealthiest businessmen —who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 50 asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth 51 . The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question 52 me of something I‘d read somewhere before: ―Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to 53 life that day,‖ I said. ―I choose to be cheerful.‖―Let me give you an example,‖ I continued, 54 all sixty students in the class. ―In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I 55 the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn‘t 56 . So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and 57 down the road to the college.‖―As soon as I got there I called AAA（汽车协会）and asked them to 58 for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what has happened. ‗This is my lucky day,‘ I replied, 59 .‖―‗But y our car breaks down‘, she was 60 . ‗What do you mean?‘‖―‗I live17 miles from here.‘ I replied. ‗My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‘t. Instead, it broke down in the 61 place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I‘m still able to teach my class, and I‘ve been able to apply for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was 62 to break down today, it couldn‘t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.‘‖―The secretary‘s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.‖ So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my 63 class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn‘t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student‘s 64 that I was cheerful.50. A. seriously B. cheerfully C. curiously D. coldly51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, ―Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.‖ To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, ―That new yellow sweater looks great on you.‖―Oh, Tom, you noticed,‖ she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, ―Evelyn‘s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.‖ We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that‘s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression.―What‘s the matter?‖ I asked her.―Tom,‖ she said in a voice filled with distress, ―do you know something I don‘t?‖―What do you mean?‖―Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you‘ve been so good to me… am I dying?‖It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.―No, honey,‖ I said, wrapping her in my arms. ―Y ou‘re not dying; I‘m just starting to live.‖65. In the first paragraph, ―No ifs, ands or buts‖ probably mean ________.A. unnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly66. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.A. aloneB. with his familyC. with EvelynD. with his children67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street68. By saying ―I‘m just starting to live,‖ Tom means that ________.A. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband(B)(Note: Y ou may read the questions first.)T sunami warning system is testedIf he, the founder of the Hawaiian V olcano Observatory, were alive, Thomas Jaggar would be proud of the U.S.tsunami warning system after Friday‘s devastating earthquake in Japan sent a surge(大浪，汹涌) of ocean water dashing toward the West Coast.● W ASHINGTON— So many people surged to the West Coast and AlaskaTsunami Warning Center website that it slowed to a crawl early Friday,unable to provide critical information to the public about the coastal impactin the U.S. of a massive earthquake in Japan.McClatchy Washington Bureau — Mar 11 06:09 p.m.●CHICAGO—A tsunami warning has been issued for the central andnorthern California coast and Oregon, the National Weather Service announced early Friday.Chicago Tribune（论坛报）— Mar 11 06:07 a.m.● HONOLULU — A tsunami warning was issued late on Thursday for Hawaii after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific near Japan, prompting state civil defense officials to order all coastal areas evacuated（疏散）by 2 a.m. local time.

In which city did the news agency issue a tsunami affecting for some other places apart from Japan and Hawaii?A. LOMPOC.B. WELLINGTON.C. HONOLULU.D. W ASHINGTON.(C)Retirement is frightening. It is a new, uncertain journey —at a time when peace in life is treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to keep control of the business. The inability to ―let go‖ is even more difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of unemployment or family poverty.For many who build successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that ―work is her oxygen.‖ Some entrepreneurs （企业家）started their businesses at least in part to prove themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We find that they cling to theircreations more strongly than most.For these reasons and others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal conflicts that spoil succession (接替；继位) planning or even the performance of potential successors.If an executive has not quite achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however, should remember Winston Churchill‘s warning to the House of Commons: ―If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.‖Fortunately, many business owners manage to face succession planning —courageously, openly, and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the most critical issue for family-business continuity, we‘re keenly interested in the makeup and background of those who do.Our conclusion: It‘s all a matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan succession and wh o can let go don‘t come necessarily from larger or smaller businesses. They don‘t come from businesses that are more or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement. They don‘t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the glass is half full, not half empty.72. The underlined expression ―let go‖ means ________.A. to dismiss the successorB. to close the businessC. to explore another fieldD. to pass the business to the successor73. What makes some of the business owners willing to retire?A. Their family background.B. The scale of their business.C. Their attitude towards retirement.D. The ability of their successor.74. According to the passage, people with the sound attitude to retirement think that ________.A. old people are certain to restB. retirement means new opportunities and new lifeC. as business owners, they are most important to the businessD. their business was bought as part of management75. The author‘s purpose of writing this passage is ________.A. to make clear the widespread beliefs held by those who cannot conclude succession planningB. to offer some practical tips to those who are not able to cope with fear of retirementC. to urge society and the individual to take retirement more seriouslyD. to illustrate the different attitudes toward retirement in different situationsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one Pwith signals76.By the 1950s many Americ an families owned television sets. During television‘s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television likedsports and action shows, but they were disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn‘t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip -readers could only ca tch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.77. In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government‘s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.78.screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning-onethat would not bother hearing people.79.In October of 1971, Norwood‘s office signed a contract with WGBH -TV , a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called ―open captions‖.80. Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder are called ―closed captions‖.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words .In the house where I grew up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don‘t know if that was a local term or if it is universal; ―on the latch‖ meant the door was closed but not locked. None of us carried keys; the last one in for the evening would close up, and that was it.Those days are over. In rural areas as well as in cities, doors do not stay unlocked, even for part of an evening.It is not uncommon, in most pleasant homes, to see on the windows small notices announcing that the building is closely monitored by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child‘s bicycle with the now -usual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For some reason we are satisfied when we think we are well-protected; it does not occur to us to ask ourselves: Why has this happened? Why are we having to defend ourselves against our neighbors and fellow citizens, and when, exactly, did this start to take over our lives?With all this ―security‖, we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?We trust no one. Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their station wagon key chains. We have become so smart about self-protection that, in the end, we have all outsmarted ourselves. We may have locked the evils out, but we have also locked ourselves in.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. In the author‘s childhood, people were used to ________.82. What can be commonly seen on the windows of most pleasant homes?83. According to the author, what is the new environment of American life now?84. In the author‘s mind, they feel that they are seemingly ________, but actually ________.第II卷（共45分）I.
