“…She was married to an officer in India, long ago India; and she had a life of physical adventure(冒险) as exciting as her poetry. Her husband could cross rivers using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones. He died when she was only 39. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life, leaving a son in England.”
I stared at the paper, 36 reading, couldn't help thinking.
Crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule, but they can 37 like lightning when they want to. And they don't mind hurrying 38 they're hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, living on fish mostly; but what's a little fish 39 a fifteen－foot crocodile? They ate people, fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near; women doing the 40 , or children playing at the water's 41 . A hungry cro's mouth 42 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 43 in a man in two bites(咬).
That woman's husband crossed rivers 44 from one cro's back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done 45 before the creature could see what was happening. It wasn't 46 a brave, active man; and no doubt he improved with practice. He could never look 47 whiling crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt 48 of that. She lived 49 the adventure the 50 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers, snakes …. It's no wonder she wrote 51 poetry.
Then he 52 . I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 53 him in India, in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting－room widow(寡妇). “I must 54 , too.” she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 55 probably, to her head.
But her young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well, what do you think?

American doctors say that mothers who smoke cigarettes before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies' lungs. They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung disease later in life. Doctors in Boston, Massachusetts studied 1 100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.
Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the father's smoking did not affect a child's chance of developing lung cancer.
58. Mother who smokes before her child is born may .
A. slow the growth of her baby's lung

C
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(当代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middleaged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profitmaking organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and underskilled personnel.
62. The author believes that the population explosion results from .
A. an increase in birthrates B. the industrial development
C. a decrease in death rates D. human beings' cultural advances
63. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures .
A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not work
B. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation
C. old people were given the task of imparting the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generations
D. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life
64. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is true?
A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.
B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.
C. When they reach a certain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and beneficial.
D. With the growing inflation, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.
65. The phrase “this need” in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. prolonging the dying old people's lives
B. reducing the problems caused by the retired people
C. making profits through caring for the sick or weak people
D. taking care of the sick or weak people
66. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude toward most of the nursing homes, and convalescent hospitals?
A. Sympathetic. B. Approving. C. Optimistic. D. Critical.
D
Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer—Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius' Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty－six of these misprinted stamps leftfourteen One Penny Orange－Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue's rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16 800 for it.
67.Over a century ago, Mauritius .
A. was an independent country
B. belonged to India
C. was one of the British colonies
D. was a small island in the Pacific Ocean
68. The mistake on the stamps was made .
A. in Mauritius B. at Mauritius Government House
C. in a post office D.in London
69. The mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the .
A. price B. colour C. carelessness D. inscription
70. Stamp collectors have paid $16 800 for .
A. fourteen One Penny Orange－Reds
B. twelve Two Penny Blues
C. one One Penny Orange－Red
D. one Two Penny Blue
71. A stamp is worth a million and a half times its original value because .
A. it was misprinted a hundred years ago
B. of its rareness and age
C. few collectors have it
D. it was made in British colonies

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E－mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something funsee a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E－mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E－mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E－mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate(排除) any of the old ways.
72. The purpose of this passage is to .
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
73. The use of E－mail has made it possible for the writer to .
A. spend less time working
B. have more free time with his child
C. work at home on weekends
D. work at a speed comfortable to him
74. According to the writer, E－mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one .
A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently
B. keep one's communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one's friends faster than the later
75. The best title for this passage is .
A. Computer: New Technological Advances
B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C. Computers Have Made Life Easier
D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication

Now, you want to know about life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn't have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn't have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn't have the money. And we had to go to bed at seven o'clock every night. We couldn't watch TV because there wasn't any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times—morning, afternoon and evening. And we had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn't have to worry about us.
There weren't so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in. And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren't able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were happier. I don't think I'd like to be young today.

One possible version:
“I haven't watched TV all day!”
Dou Dou is a very naughty and clever boy. Whenever his father, Mr. Dou, tries to blame him for his wrong doings, Dou Dou can find ways to defend himself.
One evening, when making himself a cup of coffee, Mr. Dou was very surprised. He heard sound coming from the TV set in the sitting room. With a cup of coffee in his hand, Mr Dou walked towards the sitting room. There he saw Dou Dou was comfortably lying in the sofa watching cartoons on TV. But Dou Dou should be doing his homework as Mr Dou had already told. So Mr Dou asked his son angrily, “Dou Dou, how can you lie here all day watching TV?” “Who has been doing that?” Dou Dou retorted, “In the moring and in the afternoon, I was sitting in the classroom,watching my teacher, Mr Wang.” After hearing this, Mr Dou really did not know what to say.
