It costs thousands of dollars to buy or build a new house. A family who wants to own a house usually borrows most of the money needed. The money is paid back in monthly payments. The family must pay the rest of buying price in cash (现金). This is called the down payment.
In most cities, there are many families who need and want new houses. Some of these families can afford to make monthly payments on a house. But they cannot save up enough money to make a down payment. How then can these families become houseowners?
In the city of Indianapolis, an organization under black leadership runs a program of self-help housing called Flanner House Homes. This program has helped hundreds of families with low income become houseowners.
Flanner House Homes supplies the land, materials, tools, and training for a large group of families to build their own houses. These families do not have money for a down payment on a house. Instead, the men used their own labor as a down payment. They work twenty hours a week to help build their houses. Although they have never built houses before, the men are taught certain skills as they work. They work together as teams.
When the houses are finished, the new houseowners have some more than built themselves new houses. With handsome brick and frame (框架) houses taking the place of old, run-down ones, they have turned the streets with small, dirty, crowded houses into pleasant new neighborhoods.
56. Why Flanner House Homes was founded is because .
A. the black people needed new houseowners
B. it helps low－income families become houseowners
C. many low －income people have difficuty in getting the land, materials and tools
D. it was easier for an organization to get the supplies
57. From the text we can conclude that .
A. many people do not want to own their houses
B. in most cities everyone owns his own house
C. Flanner House Homes helps to build houses
D. a good organization takes great effect (影响) on solving problem
58. Which statement does this text lead you to believe?
A. A down payment is not always money.
B. It does not cost much to own a new house.
C. It is easy to pay for a house.
D. Flanner House Homes supplies people with the money to buy houses.
B
As we approach the 21st century, it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changing the way we live and work. The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life, holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997, the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell. Miraculously, the cell had been taken from the udder of an adult sheep, which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical, social, and scientific implications. Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of "making" humans genetically identical to an existing man or woman. Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique? When it comes to a discovery like cloning, we must move with caution, care and deep concern about the impact of our actions. First, cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors. Meanwhile, great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control. Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.
59.What are changing the way we live and work?
A.Cloning. B.Life saving.
C.Science and technology. D.The mysteries of life.
60.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is ________.
A.untested B.unsafe
C.morally unacceptable D.above of all
61.How should we look upon cloning?
A.Cloning is terrible. B.Cloning must be moved with caution, care.
C.Cloning will cause troubles. D.Cloning is a disease.
62.According to the passage, what should be given to cloning's inventors?
A.Strict control. B.Great thanks.
C.Care. D.Caution.

The biggest change in the world today is technology. The reason the world is getting smaller is because people can talk to each other more quickly than before with more information.
The computer now has the information of a library of books on all subjects. By sitting at a computer, different software programs allow students the chance to learn about all subjects simply by asking the computer to find the information. The computer becomes the library.Students and parents are now learning what an important tool the computer has become for improving education.
Letters might take a few days even a few weeks to be delivered. Technology has developed a fax machine where a letter can travel anywhere in the world, immediately. This has changed the way people do business. Many computers can receive E-mail. This is like the fax letter. Often, businesses have a fax machine but homes do not. If a computer is in a home, it can receive E-mail messages from anyone in the world. It is like the telephone but it costs much less to receive messages.
The next generation (代) will have computers in most homes and be able to send faxes and E-mail all over the world. In the future, the computer will be as common as the telephone or TV. Technology is changing the way people communicate with each other.
63. The world is getting smaller just because .
A. the computer has taken the place of a library

Dear Carrie,
Your brother sounds like a very selfish(自私的) person. But I want to know what causes him to act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.
I think your brother is probably hurting in some way. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be jealous (嫉妒) of your mother's love for the rest of you over him.
It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters had their real mother but he didn't. Try to let him know that you care about him. Over time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same kindness that you give him.
68. From the passage we may know that .
A. there are two mothers in the family
B. the mother is the brother's stepmother (继母)
C. the family is not a full family
D. the brother has three sisters in the family
69. The writer suggests Carrie that .
A. she treat her brother with more love and care
B. she find her mother with more fights
C. she find the cause for her brother's habit
D. she fight against her brother with anger
70. The writer thinks Carrie's brother .
A. should know Carrie treats him with kindness
B. should be treated more kindly
C. is very lucky to live in such a family
D. is a bad young man
71. In Carrie's letter she must have said that .
A. she often punished her brother
B. she often gave her brother love
C. she often felt sad and angry in the family
D. her mother wasn't a good mother
E Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology. (http://www.rothamsted.bbsrc.ac.uk)
72. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B.The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C.The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D.Hereditary diseases and cancer
73.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B.Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C.Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D.Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
74.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A.Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B.Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C.Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D.Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
75.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A.Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B.Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C.Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity

Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn't have the same meaning as our“No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or he will meet some trouble.
One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the driver shook his head at once. The officer repeated his order, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, got angry,“How dare you refuse my order?”He shouted. “Drive me to my office immediately.”The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surpised to say a word. He thought about it for a while and then nodded with a smile. “No”means“Yes”here.

Have you planted a flower? If you haven't, now let me show you how to do it.
Generally speaking, planting flowers needs five steps. Firstly, you should cover the bottom of the pot with some small stones. Secondly, you put about two inches of soil on top of the stones. Thirdly, you first make a hole in the centre of the soil, and then put the flower you want to plant into the soil. Fourthly, you add more soil until it almost reaches top of the pot, ad press the soil lightly with your hands. The last step is very simple-water the flower. But you don't forget to move it under the shade.
