阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”

Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.
At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.
“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.
66. When she was a child, Florence ____ .
A. loved to travel very much B. knew what her duty in life was
C. loved to help the sick people D. was most interested in music and drawing
67. What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse？
A. Her father’s support. B. Her desire to help the sick.
C. Her education in Germany and France. D. Her knowledge from reading great books.
68. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____ .
A. she earned a little money B. work was very difficult
C. few soldiers died because of her work D. she didn’t have enough food or clothes
69. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria？
A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses. B. She wrote a book on public health.
C. She worked as a nurse all her life. D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.

Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter (粪) from animals also falls on it.
All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop (庄稼) should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

A. People would have more crops. B. Animals would die.
C. There would be more food. D. There would be less soil.

C. There would be no plants without animals. D. People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.
78. Which is the best food for soil in the field?
A. Chemical fertilizers B. Plants and grass. C. Animals’ waste. D. Different crops.
79. Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?
A. Because we can keep the soil rich this way. B. Because we don’t have enough land.
C. Because we want to have a different food. D. Because we do this as a habit.

A. Soil and Waste B. Plants and Animals C. Food and Waste D. Soil and Food

书面表达
Possible version1:
Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether. Students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school.
I think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
On TV there are many interesting programmes, such TV plays, films and sports. By watching them, we can enrich our knowledge and enlarge our views, which we can’t learn in class. My English is not very good. I think watching TV is a good way to improve my English, especially spoken English.
Besides, why shouldn’t we relax ourselves and have a good rest at home since we have so much work to do at school? Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely,
Liu Qiang
Possible version2:
Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether. Students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school.
I don’t think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
In my opinion, watching TV is just a waste of time. We are students so we have a lot of homework to do. If we spend much time on TV, how can we finish our homework? Besides, we’ll get short-sighted if we spend too much time on TV every day. What’s more, I don’t think all the TV programmes are instructive. If we often watch them, we’ll form some bad habits. That’s very dangerous to us!
Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely,
Liu Qiang
