Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 36 him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection (回忆) of the 37 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 38 “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 39 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 40 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six ,and I remember 41 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 42 not surpass (超越).
43 I grew older, the gifts gave 44 to heart--shaped boxes filled with my 45 chocolate and always included a 46 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-yous became 47 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 48 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 49 be there. I had 50 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 51 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 52 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 53 of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never 54 , nor does the memory of a man who never 55
Being my Valentine.

When you feel tired, how do you relax? Drink coffee, take a bath, do some exercise, or play some music and have a dance?
For dance music fans and night-club lovers, the world-famous English DJ Sasha will bring them the world’s finest dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 18-20 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD.
One of the main roles of music has always been to go with dancing. But today’s dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance（文艺复兴）and Baroque periods in Europe, rich people were expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the most popular dances were the Waltz and the Polka. In this period, dances were often written for the concert hall. For example, symphonies（交响乐）would have a Waltz movement, and piano pieces were sometimes in Waltz or Polka.
In the 1970s, dance music moved into new places called discos. The music was faster, had more bass（低音部）and started to become more electronic. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Europe. By the 1980s the music became much faster and even more electronic.
In the 1990s clubs took over discos. DJs mixed other people’s music. Club dance rhythms became a major part of popular music. Club dance music has different forms, including drum and bass, hip-hop, and R&B. It makes use of technology and DJs play a bigger part in spreading the music.

Having taken a room at the hotel at which he had been instructed to stay, Smallwood went out; it was a lovely day, early in August, and the sun shone in the sky. He had not been to Lucerne since he was a boy, but remembered a covered bridge, though not clearly, a great stone lion and a church in which he had sat, bored yet impressed while they played an organ (风琴); and now wandering along a shady quay (码头) he didn’t so much try his way about a half-forgotten scene as to reform in his mind some recollection (回忆) of the shy and eager boy, so impatient for life, who so long ago had wandered there. But it seemed to him that the most lively of his memories was not of himself, but of the crowd; he seemed to remember the sun and the heat and the people; the train was crowded and so was the hotel, the lake steamers were packed and on the quays and in the streets you found your way among the holiday-makers. They were fat and ugly and strange.
Now, in wartime, Lucerne was as deserted as it must have been before the world discovered that Switzerland was the playground of Europe. Most of the hotels were closed, the streets were empty, the boats for hire rocked (摇晃) idly at the water’s edge and there was none to take them, and in the avenue by the lake the only persons to be seen were serious Swiss taking their dogs for their daily walk. Smallwood felt happy and, sitting down on a bench that faced the water, surrendered, himself to the sensation. The blue water, snowy mountains, and their beauty hit him in the face. So long, at all events as the fine weather lasted he was prepared to enjoy himself. He didn’t see why he should not at least try to combine pleasure to himself with advantage to his country.
64. Smallwood went to Lucerne______.
A. to enjoy the beautiful scenery there

66. Smallwood was prepared to enjoy himself as long as______.
A. he was serving his country

C. Smallwood was very nervous when he got to Lucerne

Mianzi (literally “face”)has long been observed by most Chinese. As a famous saying goes; “Men live for face as trees grow for bark.”
In a recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily, over 93 percent of the polled (接受测试的) people (1,150)said they pay much attention to their mianzi, which concerns people’s decency, personality, and dignity.
When asked what the most humiliating (不光彩的) thing is, a heavy number accounting for 74.9 percent of the total chose public gaffes (失态) with the failed fulfillment of one’s promise coming in as second. More than a half of the polled feel ashamed of being shown as ignorant before others. A total 47.5 percent of the polled considered it a loss of face to have no enough money on them when treating friends out to a dinner.
What would enhance one’s face then? In a ranking on this question, the survey revealed that doing what others cannot do topped the list, taking up a high proportion of 83.7 percent. Following at the second, with 53.9 percent, was being praised in public. Being outstandingly knowledgeable was third on the list for sharpening one’s mianai, accounting for 51.7 percent.
According to the survey, face usually comes at a price. To pay or not to pay, it’s a problem. Deeply troubled with the face concept, many “fight” each other for the chance to foot the bill despite a barren pocket. Some 80.7 percent of those taking the poll thought it a tough life to always hold the face concept. Surprisingly, only 8.7 percent of the polled insisted that it tarnish (损害) a man’s authority and face in a family where the wife is the major breadwinner.
Armed to the teeth with the luxury name brand clothes, a limited 7.7 percent among all the polled prefer pricey clothes in order to gain more face.
Taking the social status into consideration, 82.9 percent of the polled nod at the opinion that those holding a superior position care far more than the manual labors pay less attention to face than brainworkers. The survey also revealed that men focus more on face than women and the senior more than the young.
While most people hold a neutral viewpoint about those who value mianzi a lot, nearly 80 percent of all the polled are willing to make friends with them.
68. According to the survey, which of the following most enhances one’s face?
A. Having enough money to treat friends out to a dinner.
B. Being praised by others in public.
C. Doing what others can’t.
D. Affording to buy luxury name brand clothes.
69. You didn’t lose face when__________.
A. you broke your word after you offered to help your friends
B. you made a big mistake in your speech to the public
C. you let out that you know little about what your friends are talking about
D. you managed to get your friend’s car started
70. Who cares most about face?
A. A young brainworker.
B. A senior manual laborer.
C. A person in high position.
D. A senior woman brainworker.
71. The writer’s purpose in writing the article is to ________.
A. show how the Chinese care about face
B. report on the findings of the survey
C. give information about how to prevent losing face
D. teach people how to enhance face

DNA comes in all kinds of packages. The boxes that fill Lisette Waits’ work space contain things most people can’t imagine; wild poop (粪便).
But the test tubes filled with bear, fox and snow leopard (雪豹) poop may hold answers that help endangered animals. As genetic science develops rapidly, wildlife biologists like Waits are using modern genetics to learn more about rare and remote species.
“When I was getting my Ph.D., I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to find a job,” said Waits, a professor of conservation biology and researcher at the University of Idaho. “A wildlife geneticist? Now everyone’s saying, ‘We need a geneticist.’”
A decade age, scientists needed a piece of flesh, bone or skin to really analyze the DNA of a wild creature, which made it difficult to do much genetic work on elusive (难以找到的) and rare species. But recent advances make it possible to use the tiny amounts of DNA in wastes, hair and other things animals leave behind. The significance of learning about elusive and endangered species is far-reaching.
“In the last five years, it’s exploded,” Waits said. “It’s become one of the major tools for wildlife biology and conservation biology.”
In her lab on the UI campus, Waits and her colleagues have analyzed the poop of everything from red foxes to parrots from Peru. Her latest project will be working with about 85 test tubes that contain the poop of snow leopards from Central Asia. She cooperated with the Snow Leopard Trust, Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo and the National Institutes of Health to develop the snow leopard project.
“We just can’t catch snow leopards, ”she said. “They’re really secretive. They live in rugged (崎岖的), high mountain area.”
72. Lisette Waits collects wild poop in her test tubes to ________.
A. help rare animals to have babies in large numbers
B. have a careful study about rare and remote species
C. carry out experiments to test why some species are dying out
D. find an efficient way to protect rare and remote species
73. We can infer from Lisette’s words that_______.
A. she was once out of work after graduation
B. it is difficult to bring up geneticists
C. people have now realized the importance of genetics
D. snow leopards have been well protected in mountains
74. Scientists couldn’t really analyze the DNA of a wild creature 10 years ago by using_______.
A. flesh B. skin C. bone D. hair
75. The project Lisette Waits and her colleagues will be undertaking is connected with________.
A. red fox B. parrot C. snow leopard D. bear

六、书面表达
写信、打电话号码是人们最常使用的两种交流方式。随着电话的普及，写信似乎被许多人遗忘。请你以“Telephone or letter”为题用英语写一篇短文，陈述你对这两种交流方式的看法。
注意：1.开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。2.词数：100左右。
Telephone or letter
Communication is very important both in the past and at present, and it tends to be more essential nowadays. Telephone and letter are two main means of communication; they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
__________________________________________________________________.
In my opinion, we’d better combine these two ways to make our communication better.
