A One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. ―We’ve had to make a difficult decision,‖ Mr. Tisich announced. ―You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.‖ Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d

be moving. ―It’s surprising, but exciting!‖ she said. Marc simply said, ―We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!‖ The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyons’ house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.

What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’ attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection. 56. The conflict in this story was caused by___________.

A. Marc and Rachel’s different tempers B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc

C. Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich’s remark of Marc’s irresponsibility 57. Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were____________ A. surprised B. angry and upset C. anxious for more details D. worried about packing

58. The reason for Marc’s going home was that _________________.

A. he did not want to be left behind B. he realized his family was essential to him C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents D. he wished to be a more responsible person 59. What would most likely happen next?

A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house. B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police. C. Marc would join his family for house moving. D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

C Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.

Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.

There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly—as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.

Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that: have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely. 60. Many plants may survive in deserts when___________. A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeks C. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round 61. Sand dunes are formed when___________. A. sand piles up gradually

B. there is plenty of rain in a year C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller

62. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________. A. too much sand B. more sand than before C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand 63 It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the year

B. life exists in rough conditions C. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

D When we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don’t stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.

We make use of stereotypes (刻板的模式) as convenient ways to make quick judgements about situations and people

around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.

The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid

opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.

In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly

identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.

In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions（区分）, clothes, hairstyles, people’s pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.

67. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because __________.

A. they do not wish to talk to other people B。everyone else is expressionless C.the environment is already familiar to them D.there is too much information to take in 68. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they __________.

A. are likely to lead us into dangerous situations B.may make us miss some pleasant experience C.can rarely be relied on D.make us mentally lazy 69. From the passage we may conclude that _________.

A. stereotypes can help to understand people fully B.people are becoming more interested in fashion C.dressing can send messages about individuals D.stereotypes can do more harm than good to people 70. It would appear that in England, a person’s class __________.

A. might be less important in making friends in a city B.is mainly determined by his pronunciation C.plays less of a role than it did in the past D.is something that can be changed easily 单选

A Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar, It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.

Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb. ―Tom, no‖ shouted his father. But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.

Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father. ―Knife, Tom, ‖ shouted Jeb.

The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains. The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.

61.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?

A. To get ready to fight B. To frighten it away C. To protect the boy D. To cool down 62. What do we know about cougars? A. They are afraid of noises

B. By making a wall out of his arms C. By throwing himself on the cougar D. By swinging his fists at the cougar’s eyes 64.Which of the following happened first? A. The cougar jumped from the rock

B. Tom struggled free of his father C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife D. Jeb held Tom across his body

B I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.

A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, ― Fifty is what forty used to be .‖He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill ?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.

― You are not getting older, you are getting better .‖ says Dr. Joyce Brothers .This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.

And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词).In fact, a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all: Grow old along with me! The best is yet to me. Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend( 混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said .‖Old is always fifteen years from now.‖ 65. The author seems to tell us in Paragraph I that A. time alone will tell B. time goes by quickly C. time will show what is right D. time makes one forget the past 66. When the author turned fifty, people around him A. tried to comfort him B. got inspirations from him C. were friendlier with him D. found him more talkative 67. The author considers his fifty years of life A. peaceful B. ordinary C. satisfactory D. regretful 68. We can infer from the passage that A. the old should lead a simple life

B. the old should face the fact of aging C. the old should take more exercise D. the old should fill themselves with curiosity 答案：
