When I came out of my office, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 36 along the road, now well-lit, now san in darkness. I broke the 37 on purpose, 38 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”
“9 o`clock, I`ll go after this trip.”
“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I 39 another question, “Nine o`clok, too.

His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 53 in his job. Such feelings are 54 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
America is a society in which children have watched about 18,000 television commercial(商业广告)by the time they have reached their middle teens. My fried Jolie learned this fact a few weeks ago and decided to do something about it. She thinks that the number of commercials that children see can affect the way in which they view the world. That is, Jolie believes that children who watch so many ads will grow up to believe that the most important thing in life is to buy. This, says Jolie, is wrong. A little child cannot understand advertisement and so belives totally in what he or she hears.. I have been thinking about what Jolie has told me. I suppose that she is right. I know that it is easy to control the minds of children because they don`t see things logically.(逻辑地) as adults do. And I`m upset myself at how the advertisers can control a child`s outlook on the world. I think I should join Jolie in her effort to change advertising methods when it comes to advertisements for children. I really have responsibility(责任)to make sure that future generations are given every chance to develop their minds without being influenced (影响) by any bad. Of course , there is another side of the problem. After all, parents ought to take responsibility for what their children watch and how much television as they want. But in the long run the methods of advertisers have great power because we are a society of consumers. I only hope that someday there can be an answer to this question. Children need our guidance, not the guidance of advertisers.
56. Compared with adults, children can_______.
A. not tell good advertisements from bad ones.
B. be more interested in TV advertisement
C. sit for longer hours watching advertisements
D. not judge things reasonably
57. The author thinks that______.
A. children should not be affected by TV ads
B. television watching is unhealthy to children
C. most TV ads tend (倾向) to tell lies
D. little children have difficulty in understanding the arts of ads
58. In order to prevent children from watching too much television the author suggests that______.
A. parents keep their children away from the television sets
B. advertisements be changed to suit the needs of children
C. more programmes be stated to give guidance to children
D. ways be found to help the least influence of commercial on children
59.The main idea of the passage is that_______.
A. children should not watch any television commercials
B. television advertising has a influence on children
C. the number of commercials that children see can influence the way in which they view the world
D. parents ought to take responsibility for what and how much their children watch on TV

EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.
But, there’s another side.
SARS is a reminder of how fragile(脆弱的) life can be. Suddenly, it’s not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.
Wang Xinying, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact with a suspected(怀疑的) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I’m going to treasure every single day,” he said.
SARS teaches people to be grateful, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected patients. As a result, more than 20 per cent of SARS cases in China are medical workers.
Xu Bing, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No.5 Middle School wants to be a doctor when he grows up. “Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated to saving people’s lives. I’m deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes,” he said.
SARS also teaches sympathy. The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9/11.
And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to cope in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned great lessons.
(From 21st Century, April 28, 2003)

A．two B．three C．five D．four

| When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of three things. You can use no sun tan oil. You can use an ordinary sun tan oil. Or you can use Bergasol. If you don’t use any sun tan oil at all when you’re in sun that is stronger than you’re used to, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you use an ordinary sun tan oil you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree. How much depends on the ‘protection-factor (系数) number’ on the bottle. Some of these oils block out so many of the sun’s rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning—but you won’t go very brown, either. Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator (加速剂) which comes from the oil of the Bergamot fruit. It speeds up the rate at which the sun acitvates the skin cells that produce melanin. And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown colour. So when you use Bergasol sun tan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more and more obvious. Unfortunately this special formulation isn’t cheap to prepare. So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However the price looks more attractive as you do. bergasol It makes you go brown faster | Protection Many people imagine that ‘cover-up’ means you don’t get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday. What a shame. Not so. With ‘cover up’, you can get brown if you want to. The point of cover-up is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun—the ones which, according to the experts, make your skin look older. That’s what Solex Cover-up is all about—protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone. Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex is. With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like. And with much less chance of peeling. Your tan will look better. Your skin will stay young longer. Solex Cover-up. Solex Gentle tan…full protection |
