A
It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.
“ Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals（凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
“ Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”
I looked at my shabby slipcovers(家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you”. They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job--- these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of the small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
31. Why did the writer let the children in?
A. She showed great pity on them.
B. She had old papers to sell
C. She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of cocoa
D. She wanted to invite them to her thanksgiving party
32. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps in that ________.
A. she saw that the lady’s room was comfortable
B. she saw the cups matched the saucers
C. the writer’s slipcovers were very new
D. the boy thought so
33. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ________.
A. how much money you have had
B. how you feel about your life
C. how you have helped others
D. what job you are doing
34. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to ________.
A. show her husband that someone had come
B. remind her that she had helped two children
C. show that she was a kind- hearted woman
D. remind her how rich she was
B
Two-year-old hero Ye Chengfeng saved most
of his family from a deadly gas leak(泄漏). As his grandfather lay dead, the child woke up his grandmother
and saved five other family members from death.
More and more British
school kids use their mobile phones to cheat(作弊)in
exams. They use them to send messages to get the answers. So far this year,
1,013 students were caught cheating with mobile phones. Teachers are now
teaching themselves so they can find the cheats. They also ask the students to
hand the phones in before exams.
A new study
shows that girl chimps(黑猩猩) are faster to use tools than boys! Experts found that girl chimps
in East Africa use sticks to dig in the soil two years earlier than boys do.
But they don’t know why. Girls watched their moms work, but the boys climbed
trees. Yes, human girls always learn to write and draw first, but boys often
run and play balls earlier than girls.
In Germany, doctors have
three ways to help kids who are addicted (上瘾的)to
the Internet. First, learning art — Kids learn painting or singing; Second,
doing sports — Kids do swimming or horse riding. The last one is to go into
nature — Kids plant flowers and grow vegetables. Doctors want kids to find
other ways to have fun rather than surf the Internet.

Exchange of Letters
Dear Mr. Harringtom,
I saw your name on a list of teachers of French who wish to spend their holidays in France this summer．I am a teacher of English in Saint-Simon, a charming little village in the Loire valley, just south of Saumur. I should very much like to spend some time in England, because it is many years since I had a chance to practise my English. Perhaps we could exchange houses for three weeks in late July or early August.
I have heard a lot about Cumbria and the Lake District. I have been keen to spend a holiday in Cumbria ever since I first saw pictures of the foxhunting, and read about the fine hunting dogs that you have in your part of the country. I am very interested in fox-hunting and I take my dogs out hunting in the local forest whenever I can.
I shall tell you more about Saint-Simon and the surrounding countryside when and if you express interest in my plan．I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Jean-Baptiste Foucault
Dear Mr. Foucault,
I was very interested to receive your letter of 3rd March. You are right in thinking that I should like to spend some time in France. I am sure my French is as rusty as your English!
You are also right in thinking that Cumbria is famous for its foxes and its hunting dogs; but there are many other things for which Cumbria is famous．Barrow, for example, is famous for its ship-building industry; I live just across the road from the docks(码头) where ships from Ireland and elsewhere load and unload. In fact, on days when the Irish Sea is not under a blanket of fog, I can see the hills of Northern Ireland in one direction, as clearly as I can see the Cumbrian hills in the other.
In short, I am afraid Barrow might not have been what you had in mind when you thought about a holiday in Cumbria. Instead of being able to offer you the dog and the fox, I can only offer you the fog and the docks!
Yours sincerely,
Robert Harrington
39. Mr. Foucault wishes to spend a holiday in Cumbria because _________.
A. he is a keen fox-hunting man
B. there are many forests where he can take his dog hunting
C. he has heard a lot about the good English spoken in Cumbria
D. the first pictures he saw of England were of Cumbria and the Lake District
40. Mr. Foucault does not say much about Saint-Simon because _________.
A. Mr. Harrington has been there and seen it for himself
B. it is such a small village there is very little to say about it
C. he wants to know first whether Mr. Harrington is interested in his plan
D. he knows Mr. Harrington will not be very interested in Saint-Simon
41. Mr. Harrington agrees with Mr. Foucault that _________.
A. Cumbrian dogs are very much like foxes
B. Cumbria has a reputation as a fox-hunting district
C. Cumbria is only famous for its fox-hunting
D. Cumbria is more famous for ship-building than fox-hunting
42. Mr. Harrington thinks _________.
A. Mr. Foucault will want to change his mind about exchanging
B. Barrow will be just what Mr. Foucault had in mind for his holiday
C. fog and docks have as much to offer the holiday-makers as dogs and foxes
D. Mr. Foucault will enjoy his holiday in Barrow because of the fog and docks

Our town is in the eastern part of our country. Once a year we elect a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is .All the girls are eager to get this position in an effort to become popular.

However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition. “It’s the taxi driver’s fault,” she said. “I told him to head east, but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese .” You know, Bread Cheese was the name of our neighboring town.
I thought May would certainly lose because she was late ,but to my surprise ,she turned out to be this year’s winner .The judges liked her answer to their last question, “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be ?” Sara had replied, “World peace.” May, on the other hand ,said, “Better market to have our eggs sell well.”

“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology(技术). High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.
What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communication satellite. A modem manufacturing system is surely high tech.
High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens(微波炉), etc.
“State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.
“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.
Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution（革命）. Every computer company would say that its computers were “state of the art”.
Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “sate of the art” became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.
47. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.
B. To give examples of high tech.
C. To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art” are.
D. To describe very modern technology.
48. What can we learn from the passage?
A. American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.
B. High tech describes a technology that is not useful.
C. “State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.
D. A wooden plough pulled by animals is “state of the art”.
49. All the following examples are high tech EXCEPT .
A. a microwave oven B. a home computer
C. a hand pump D. a satellite
50. The best title for the passage is _________.
A. Computer Technology
B. High Tech and State of the Art
