阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market may be something abstract（抽象的）. But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.
56．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Selling and Buying.
B．Everything you do is producing for the market.
C．What is the market?
D．What the market can do for you.

C．printing a book D．growing beans for sale
58．You are buying from the market when you .
A．borrow a book from the library B．drive to the seaside for a holiday
C．look after your children D．dine at restaurant
59．The word “concrete” in the last paragraph may most probably mean .
A．serious B．important C．necessary D．real
60．In what way is the market very concrete for each person or business who is making and selling
something?

B
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
61．According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that .
A．life for a child is fairly easy
B．a child is always loved whatever he does
C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D．only children are interested in life
62．The main idea of the passage is that .
A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
63．The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .
A．examples of successful young men
B．how to build up one’s position in society
C．joys and pains of old people
D．what to do when one has problems in life
C
In the United States today, a large group of people want a college education. However, everyone is not able to attend a four-year college. Many four-year colleges are already too crowed. To give more people a chance to get a college education, some cities and towns have built junior colleges.
The junior college offers a two-year courses of study in a wide range（范围）of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry.
Because junior colleges are built in cities, they can serve many people who live in a large community. Many students can not afford to go to a four-year college. But they can save enough to go to a junior college. The entrance fee at a junior college is low. Students can also save money by living at home.
A junior college admits some high school graduates who would not be accepted at other schools. The four-year college turns down students whose high school grades are low. The junior college will often admit a student who might do well in taking a two-year course.
One of the goals of our country is to educate as many people as possible. The junior college is a school meant to serve many people. It puts a college education within the reach of a great number of people. Without these schools, many people would not be able to continue their education past high school.
64．The main idea of paragraph One is that junior colleges .
A．offer two-year courses B．are as good as four-year colleges
C．are badly needed D．are too crowed
65．According to the passage, junior colleges .
A．admit those whose high school grades are not very low
B．can admit more students than four-year colleges
C．offer very limited subjects
D．only train students for jobs in business
66．It is known the passage that .
A．all high school graduates can go to colleges
B．junior colleges are built in cities while four-year colleges are in the country
C．junior colleges are replacing four-year college
D．junior college help to make college education popular
D
Americans usually make allowance for（宽容）non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become annoyed when a person pretends to understand but doesn’t really and then creates problems because of misunderstanding what is said. No one wants soap when he asks for soup. So if you don’t understand what is said to you, admit it and politely ask the person to repeat or explain.
Second, it is quite rude to talk with a friend in your native language and leave your American friends standing there feeling stupid because they can’t understand the conversation. The Americans may also feel that you are talking about them or saying something you don’t want them to hear. If you must switch to your native language to explain something to a non-English-speaking friend, at least translate for your American friends so they don’t feel left out.
Learn just a few more polite English expressions, and you’ll be ready to face the world of Americans with confidence. The polite response（反应）to a compliment（赞扬）about your looks or your work is “Thank you.” (A smile and a nod is not enough.) The response to “Thank you.” is, of course, “You’re welcome.” If someone asks, “How are you?” don’t give your medical history. Just say, “Fine, thanks. How are you?” Finally, what should you say when someone sneezes（打喷嚏）? It may not seem logical, but the correct response is “God bless you.” That’s about all there is to it. Now that you’ve learned this general knowledge of manners in the U. S. A. , you’re ready to be polite in English, Let’s hope your American friends will be just as polite.
67．Which of the following does the writer not refer to?
A．Don’t let any of your friends feel left out in the course of conversation.
B．Ask for repetition once you fail to follow American natives.
C．Never serve your guest soap if he actually asks for soup.
D．Politely thank the person for his kindness when you’re praised by him.
68．In the first paragraph, the underlined word “annoyed” means .
A．rather angry B．very impolite
C．quite unfriendly D．fairly pleased
69．The passage is mainly about in the U. S. A.
A．the importance of good manners
B．the general knowledge of English
C．the skill in daily conversations
D．the good manners in communication
70．When you talk with someone in your native language, your American friend may feel .
A．he should learn the language
B．you try to keep some secret from him
C．you are angry with him
D．he becomes a fool

Hank Viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall.
Hank had been born without legs. Until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had not legs, but stumps（残肢）that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” because his arms dragged（拖）on the ground.
He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial（人造的）legs.
Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.
But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War Ⅱ came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, the man without legs.
71．It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is .
A．an average height for an adult（成人）
B．too tall for an average person
C．too short for an average person
D．none of the above
72．Children laughed at Hank and called him “Ape Man” because .
A．he didn’t talk to them
B．he kept away from them
C．when he moved his arms touched the ground
D．his arms were too long
73．The writer implies in the story that .
A．the Red Cross was only too glad to give him a job
B．the Red Cross gave him a job because he was a good soldier.
C．the Red Cross gave him a job after he talked to somebody he knew in the organization
D．the Red Cross was not willing to give him a job at first
74．When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers .
A．he did everything the other soldiers did
B．he did most of the things the other soldiers did

Out-of-class Activities in Our School
Students in our school have two periods for out-of-class activities every day except on Saturday and Sunday. They are between 3:20 and 5:20 p. m.
During that time we do reading, have sports and singing, or learn to use computers. We also attend interest groups of various subjects. Our favorite activities are sports matches, singing contests and speech contests. We enjoy our out-of-class activities.
We hope that we’ll be given less homework to do and more time to spare. We suggest that more tour trips be organized so that we can learn what is going on outside our school.

I was waiting for the doctor to finish his examination. I was worried and nervous. Would he have to operate? What would he have to say? Dr. Johnson was an excellent doctor and his examinations were always complete. He listened to the patient's heart, took his blood pressure and temperature, gave him an X-ray and examined his eyes and ears. The doctor finally completed his examination and spoke to me. He told me that this wasn't a serious heart attack. He advised losing some weight, getting plenty of sleep and eating good meals. Smoking and drinking would be harmful, of course. Dr. Johnson said it would be necessary to be careful for a while, but he was confident that there was nothing to worry about. I felt much better after I spoke to Dr. Johnson. I was certain that my uncle would be up and around again very soon. He's seventy years old now, but he can still live for a long time if he takes good care of himself.
