BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition (传统) of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educatioinal toys should be easy.
While China may be the world’s biggest toymaker, many of the best are exported (出口). Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s "mother club"can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and childcare books.
"We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one to one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
56. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
B. Problems with China’s toy market and education.
C. Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.
D. Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.
57. Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?
A. Club members buy BabyCare products for free childcare advice.
B. Doctors in Beijing help in making BabyCare products.
C. Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club activities.
D. BabyCare trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.
58. BabyCare is developing its business in China by________ .
A. opening stores in Beijing hospitals
B. offering 18-month courses on child care
C. setting up children’s education centers
D. forming close relationships with parents
59. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Mother’s Club in China. B. BabyCare and Doctors.
C. American Company Model. D. Educational Toys in China.

Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)！It’s Curarpikt!"
At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that’s exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi.
"I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."
In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture(掳获)the people who killed his tribe(部落).
Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(动画片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a cosplay show.
"I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the make up and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with."
"But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.
"It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.
But she never talks about her hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them, that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."
63. What’s cosplay according to the passage?
A.When cosplaying, comic fans wear costumes and pretend to be their favourite comic characters.
B.Cosplay is a kind of performance in which you play a Curarpikt.
C. Cosplay is a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi.
D.When cosplaying, some funny teenagers play some characters in the animated series.
64. Shi Jia cosplayed Curarpikt ______.
A. in order to attract her fans
B. because she liked animated series
C. because she was greatly attracted by that role
D. because it’s her secret hobby
65. The underlined word "distracts" means_____.
A. get rid of B. keep out of C. give courage to D. draw away attention of

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later. "I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later. "But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. "They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."
67. Owens got his other name "Jesse" when_________ .
A. he went to Ohio State University
B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took "J. C." for "Jesse"
D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
68. In the Big Ten meet，Owens_________.
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events
69. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because_______.
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone
70. When Owens says "They have kept me alive over the years ",he means that the medals______.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
71. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Jesse Owens, A Great American Athlete
B. Golden Moment — A Life time Struggle
C. Making A Living As A Sportsman
D. How To Be A Successful Athlete

Do you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?
A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to .In Hong Kong , men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis .In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses .It is ,therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together ,go to school together ,and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.
Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development .Regular contact （接触）can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead to more natural relationships .Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality（同性恋）,though there is no proof that this is the case.
Those who are against coeducation often also fix their attention on the sexual side .Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers .They want their children to be attentive to their studies .Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.
A stronger argument comes from research into school results .Girls grow up earlier than boys ,tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages .In a mixed class ,boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker .Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed （惊动）the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes .In the UK the best schools are all single-sex ,strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer .This may ,however ,not be as simple as it looks .It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex ,rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.
72．In the third paragraph ,by saying “though there is no proof that this is the case” ,the writer means that _____________ .
A．students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexual
B．students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinions
C．students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexual
D．single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.
73．All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that _________ .
A．co-education can produce a society-like situation
B．co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girls
C．co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sex
D．co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes
74．Alarmed by the situation ,the UK government encourages ________ .
A．co-education
B．single-sex education
C．single-sex classes in co-educational schools
D．co-educational classes in single-sex schools
75．At the end of the passage the writer suggests that __________ .
A．single-sex schools are the best schools in the UK
B．being single-sex does not necessarily make a school better
C．co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal development
D．because boys cannot compete with girls in study ,they go to single-sex schools

Possible version
Dear editor,
Recently students of our school have made a survey of "Views on Newspapers". The people whom we interviewed have two different opinions.45% of the people enjoy reading newspapers. First of all, as a convenient source of information, reading newspapers is not limited by time. Secondly, reading also makes people think, which helps develop people’s intelligence. Moreover, people can select and read whatever section they are interested in.
However, 55% of the people don’t turn to newspapers to get information. They hold the idea that newspapers are not very attractive because they lack the sound and video that make other sources of information more exciting to look at than newspapers. What’s more, readers receive information from newspapers later than from the Internet and TV.
In my opinion, people can make use of whatever means to gather information, so long as it’s convenient for them.
Yours,
Li Hua
