阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China , cloth and knives were used. In the Phillipine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. People strung(串联)them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin(锡).Sweden and Russia used copper(铜)to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
56. The main use of money is that _________.
A. people use it to buy things to eat
B. people accept money only in exchange for clothes
C. people accept money in exchange for goods and service
D. people will accept money for giving our goods to others
57. What did the first Chinese metal coins look like?
A. They had square hole in the centre.
B. They were just like shells.
C. They were round like the moon.
D. They were round with a square hole in the centre.
58. Who thought of a way to use paper money first?
A. The Chinese B. The Russian C. The Sweden D. The English men
59. The best title of this passage should be ________.
A. The Chinese money B. The history of money
C. Some things about money D. What is money
B
Why you may wonder, should spiders(蜘蛛)be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects(昆虫)，and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour(吞食)all our crops and kill our animals, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We should thank the birds and insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects , but all of them put together kill an only small part of the number destroyed by spiders. Unlike some of the other insect eaters spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think , nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect has never more than six.
How many spiders engaged in the work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a research of the spiders and found that there were more than 2,25000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on one football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in that country.
60.Spiders should be our friends , because __________.
A. they only eat harmful insects
B. they are great insect-eating animals
C. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human race
D. their harmfulness is the least
61. The difference between spiders and insects is that ____________.
A. insects have only six legs B. insects only eat plants
C. spiders eat insects D. spiders have more legs than insects
62. One authority on spiders estimated ________.
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders
C. that the number of different spiders in England was very big
D. that there were 6,000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field
63. Which one of the following statements is the main idea?
A. Spiders , the greatest insect-eating animals , protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends.
B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race.
D. The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weight of all people in England.
C
Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he was , of course , allowed to do the simpliest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.
One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.
“No! No!” she cried. “Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on by my butcher!” and fainted away(昏厥).
64.Tom made enough money by ________.
A. studying in the university B. working in a butcher’s shop
C. doing two jobs D. cutting meat well
65. Tom was a student, but at the same time he was__________.
A. a butcher and a doctor B. a manager and a doctor
C. an assistant D. a manager
66. The woman patient recognized Tom because ____________.
A. he was wearing white clothes B. he had sold meat to her
C. he was now working in the hospital D. he was going to operate on her
67.When she saw Tom, that finished her, the sight of Tom _________.
A. plunged her into deep sorrow B. made her decide not to have an operation
C. broke her heart D. took all her strength and courage away
D
In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student left the friend late after 33 minutes.
In an American university , students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast , in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
68.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?
A. He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.
B. He felt angry at the students’ rudeness.
C. He wanted to make the students come to time later.
D. He wanted to collect date for one of his studies.
69.It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that________.
A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late
B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings
C. being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture
D. Brazilian students will not come in thirty-three minutes
70.From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil ______________.
A. it is important to arrive at the appointed time
B. it is rude to keep the professor staying after calls
C. it is normal for students to leave during lectures
D. it is acceptable for professors to be late for class
71.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.
B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.
C. People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in .
D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
E
In the southern part of America, when somebody has a birthday, often family or friends ,or both, will arrange a party. The party could be elaborate(精心准备的)and include a meal or may be simple with a birthday cake and drinks. One does not plan, nor give, one’s own birthday as is the custom in some cultures. At a party there is usually a decorated cake, often with the words “Happy Birthday” and with the name of the person written on the top of the cake. Sometimes there is also one candle for each year of the person celebrating the birthday before the cake is cut. While blowing out the candles, the person makes a wish for something pleasant.
Usually those invited to a birthday party will bring a gift for the person honored. Gifts given by friends do not have to be expensive , but the family of the birthday person will spend whatever they can afford on a gift.
Christmas parties also are very popular in the South. Often this is the only time during the year that some people see acquaintances(熟人). These parties can be elaborate or simple, ranging from a buffet(自助餐)to a reception called “open house (家庭招待会)”. If you are invited to one of these, you don’t need to take a Christmas gift, as it is not customary to take the hostess a gift every time you are invited to a party or a meal. However, if you wish to take a gift , it should only be something useful and inexpensive and should be given to the hostess at the door as you enter the party. Usually gifts of Christmas food treats are the most appreciated.
72.This passage mainly tells us about __________.
A. two kinds of parties in the southern United States
B. how to arrange a birthday party
C. how to arrange a Christmas party
D. who will arrange a party
73. In southern America , birthday parties are often arranged by _________.
A. friends B. oneself C. family D. Both A and C
74. Which of the following is true?
A. For a birthday party, the cake is often cut before candles are blown out.
B. For a birthday party, neither friends nor the family will buy expensive presents.
C. It’s customary to take the hostess a gift when you are invited to a party.
D. If you take a gift to a Christmas party, you’d better take something useful and inexpensive.
75. What kind of gift is the best if someone is invited to a Christmas party?
A. Expensive things B. Candles C. Food D. Money

One Possible Version:
Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a senior student of our school. I'd like to say something about the canteen service in our school.
In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What's more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy.
However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high, Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school?
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
