I stared at my

lot of sense and was even interesting to listen to. He told us how to (53) the

to know God by reading it.
I'd only
attended the church a few weeks (54) I heard about a coming youth group
retreat(静修). I thought it would be a great way to learn
more about (55) and the Bible. It also would be a way to make new friends.
Friends. That

still feeling hurt from all the (57) I'd faced at my old school. I also hadn't
been able to (58) into any groups at my new school. I wondered if I'd spend the

A
Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of
doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was
fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a
professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand
up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different
story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs
round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall
units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training
of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been
made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the
minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out

C. You can buy all materials and tools you want in the Do-it-yourself shop.

The traditional English breakfast—tea, toast, marmalade, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.—is both good and filling, and breakfast is the only aspect of English cooking that is frequently and enthusiastically praised by foreigners. Few of the English eat this regularly. The upper-middle and upper classes drink weak, dishwater-colored, unsweetened tea. Taking tea with sugar is regarded by many as an infallible lower class indicator. Putting the milk into the cup first is also a lower-class habit. Toast is a breakfast staple, and an all-purpose, anytime comfort food. Margarine is regarded as decidedly “common” by the middle and upper classes, who use butter.
The English do not take the middle-of-the-day meal at all seriously: most make do with a sandwich or some other quick, easy, single-dish meal. The timing of lunch is not a class indicator, as almost everyone has lunch at around one o’clock. The only class indicator is what you call this meal: if you call it “dinner”, you are working class; everyone else, flora the lower-middles upwards, calls it “lunch”.
The evening meal is a clear class indicator: if you call it “tea” and eat it at around half past six, you are almost working class or of working- class origin. If you call it “dinner”, and eat it at around seven, you are probably lower-middle or middle-middle. If you normally only use the terra ”dinner” for rather more formal evening meals, and call your informal, family evening meal ”supper” you are probably upper-middle or upper class. The timing of these meals tends to be more flexible, but a family supper is generally eaten at around half- past seven, while a dinner would usually be later, from half past eight onwards.
To everyone but the working classes, “tea” is a light meal taken at around four in the afternoon, and consists of tea(the drink) with cakes, scones, jam, biscuits and perhaps a little sandwiches—traditionally including cucumber sandwiches—with the crusts cut off. The working classes call this afternoon tea, to distinguish it from the evening tea that the rest call supper or dinner.
65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. British Eating Manners
B. British Meals of A Day
C. British Foods
D. British Dinner
66. The following can serve as a class indicator EXCEPT____________.
A. calling the middle-of-the-day meal dinner
B. calling the evening meal tea
C. drinking weak, dishwater-colored, unsweetened tea
D. having lunch at around one o’clock
67. You will probably belong to upper class if you ____________.
A. call “tea” “afternoon tea”
B. call informal family evening meal “supper”
C. put milk into a cup of tea
D. call the middle-of-the-day meal “dinner”
68. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Food is no more than what we eat and can be filling.
B. Different countries have different ways of eating.
C. Eating habits can reflect people’s social status in a way.
D. Not all meals are taken seriously by people.

Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person’s role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.
Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In schools, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self- understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.
A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling(咨询) programs. In kindergartens and elementary schools, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle schools or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.
69. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Career education is carried out in primary schools only.
B. Career education is carried out in middle schools only.
C. Career education is carried out in colleges only.
D. Career education is carried out in the whole process of people’s education
70. It may be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. not only teachers but also parents are responsible for youngsters’ career education
B. in high schools, students know more specific information about occupations
C. career education may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions
D. teachers use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films
71. A child may get career education in all the following places EXCEPT _________.
A. schools B. homes C. public places D. communities
72. The underlined word “accompany” in the last paragraph means “to ________”.
A. follow B. company C. attach D. associate
D
While children are dogs---loyal and affectionate (情深的)—teenagers are cats. It’s so easy to be a dog owner. You feed it, train it, and boss it around. It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it.
Then around age 13, your adoring little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you tell it to come inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering who died and made you emperor. Instead of dogging your doorsteps, it disappears. You won’t see it again until it gets hungry—then it pauses on its sprint through the kitchen long enough to turn its nose up at whatever you’re serving. when you reach out to ruffle its head, in that old affectionate gesture, it twists away from you, then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before.
You, not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be desperately wrong with it. It seems so antisocial, so distant, sort of depressed. It won’t go on family outings.
Since you are the one who raised it, taught it to fetch and stay and sit on command, you assume that you did something wrong. Flooded with guilt and fear, you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave.
Only now you’re dealing with a cat, so everything that worked before now produces the opposite of the desired result. Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter. The more you go toward it, wringing your hands, the more it moves away.
Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection too. Sit still, and it will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open the door for it.
One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “You’ve been on your feet all day. Let me get those dishes for you.”
Then you’ll realize your cat is a dog again.
73. What does the word “it ” refer to in the third paragraph?
A. a cat B. a dog C. a child D. a situation
74. When you call a dog, how will it probably react to you?
A. excitedly B. indifferently C. angrily D. calmly
75. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Cats do not easily follow your directions while dogs are more loyal.
B. Parents had better leave their teenagers alone and don’t care about them.
C. Parents should consider what they do wrong to educate their children.
D. You can’t expect Children to be considerate toward their parents.
76. What is the chief purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell us how to raise pets like cats and dogs.
B. To tell us how a dog changes into a cat.
C. To tell us the similarities between pets and children.
D. To tell us how to deal with teenagers aged 13 or so.

PHILADELPHIA—When obesity researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were looking to prevent obesity among schoolchildren, they turned to an unexpected group of experts: mapmakers. The university’s Cartographic(制图的) Modeling Laboratory got to work, drawing maps of the neighborhoods around five Philadelphia elementary schools showing “food opportunities”.
Using laptops as they walked about, the mapmakers charted every pizza shop, corner store, deli(熟食店) and vendor that beckoned(招手) to students as they went to and from school.
They weighed and measured fourth, fifth and sixth graders at 10 city elementary schools and found that 40 per-cent were overweight or obese.
The Cartographic Modeling Lab is now working with the obesity researchers to study the environment around the five schools to see if there is a connection between obesity and the availability of food.
One
place they’re studying is
Researchers
surveyed 600 students at Southwark and other schools.
About half of them bought food on the way to school, spending on average $
There may be a healthy government-funded breakfast waiting at school, but before many students get there, they eat bags of chips and cheese curls, said Anna Jenkins, Southwark principal.
Changing the food environment will not be easy. Michele and Gene Burgese, who own Red’s Hoagies across from Southwark, said they are happy to stock more fruit but doubt it will sell.
“Kids are kids,” Michele Burgese said. Echoed her husband, “I don’t think we ever sold an apple or banana to a kid.”
77．What is the purpose of the mapmaking project mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To study where elementary schools should be located.
B．To study where restaurants should be situated.
C．To study the relationship between environment and obesity.
D．To prove that restaurants which stand near a school earn a lot.
78．What is the attitude of Mr. And Mrs. Burgese towards changing students’ food preference?
A．Uninterested. B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic. D．Negative.
79．Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A．Anna Jenkins thinks the government-funded breakfast program will work.
B．The research found that 40 percent of the subjects were overweight.
C．About half students bought food on the way to school or back home.
D．Fruits probably did not sell well to elementary students.
80．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．Strange Research Project of Cartographic Modeling Laboratory
B．Researchers Use Maps to Research Obesity
C．The Means of Changing Elementary Students’ Eating Habits
D．Driving Junk Food out of Elementary Schools

When you take notes, you need not write complete sentences. You can simply note the most important ideas and information. Your note may be list of single words, concepts, phrases or quotes. You should group your notes into categories, however. A category may be suggested by a chapter title, a head or subhead of reading.
