    Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
    In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
    Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
    In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
    Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
    In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

    The Spring Festival in China
    Every year there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is held in January or February. Of all our festivals, the Spring Festival is the most important. So before it comes, everyone has to decorate them. The old folk says that everything must be new and clean for the Spring Festival celebrations so that the new year will bring happiness and good luck. We also buy pork, beef, chicken, fruit and many other things. Parents buy new clothes for their children and children may also buy presents for their parents.
    The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year, and we put up some New year pictures. On the Festival eve, all the family members come back to their hometown. No matter how far away from home a person is, he will always try to get home in time for this big dinner. We often make a special kind of food called “dumplings”. It means “come together”. When we’re enjoying the meal, we give each other the best wishes for the coming year. We sing, dance and play cards.
    On the first day of the holiday, we usually stay at home. We get up fairly early and, first thing, exchange New Year greetings. This is a happy moment for the children; they can get some pocket money. And then we shot off firecrackers and fireworks. We enjoy ourselves very much.
    On the second and the third days, we go visiting relatives and friends. We sit around chatting and eating sweets and New Year Cakes and all kinds of delicacies. Each family prepares something special. Sometimes we would see some lion and dragon dancing.
    The celebration lasts about 15 days. The 15th night of the first moon in called the Lantern Festival. This is the day when we young people go out to enjoy ourselves, and sometimes we dance folk dances far into the night.

    My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other  36  , including her “sixth sense”, that she seldom gives the impression (印象) that she’s   37   anything. It’s really amazing.
    Michelle   38   her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she isn’t too hard on them.   Her children really benefit a lot from her   39   attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40   often don’t realize she’s blind.
    I   41  this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43   excited about her finger-painting project.
    “Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44    colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle   45   with us”. 
    To my great   46  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my   47  showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment (成就). She really  48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49   Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
    I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come   50   in conversation. When I told my daughter Michelle was blind, she was   51   for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla   52  . I knew my child was   53   because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also “heard” Kayla’s   54  in her work.
    We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55  .” Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

    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
    A
    Last year．I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC．I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended．Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her．But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money．I just need help finding the post office．”
    In an instant, I realized what I had done．I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．
    The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15．I started my new life with two suitcases,my brother and sister．Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer．
    In my own life, I have experienced prejudice．I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me．
    But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness．She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚)．By the way, I helped that lady to the post office．I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson．
    56．How did the writer give the blind woman money?
    A．In a modest way            B．In a polite way
    C．In an impatient way．     D．In a painful way
    57According to the text, the writer__________．

    B．try to experience different kinds of culture
    C．treat others equally with love and respect
    D．think about one’s past as often as possible
    59．What would be the best title of the text?
    A．A priceless lesson    B．An act of prejudice
    C．A sightseeing trip    D．A humble moment

    D
    A proverb(谚语) is a short , well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice on how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today.
    For example, my son is just like his father in many ways. We often say the two of them prove the proverb that the apple does not far from the tree.
    My daughter is very short. She would like to be taller. But I tell her that good things come in small packages. Some valuable things are very small, like diamonds and other jewels. But I also tell my children that all that glitters is not gold. Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them do not judge a book by its cover. You should not judge something only by its appearance.
    Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all, two heads are better than one. But another proverb says too many cooks spoil the soup. If too many people try to do something, then the job will not be done well.
    I also tell my children that two wrongs do not make a right. You should not do something bad just because someone did the same to you.
    Some people are pessimists while other people are optimists. Pessimists always think about how bad things are or will be; optimists might say that every cloud has a silver lining and they always look on the bright side. Other people are both pessimists and optimists. They hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
    Some people often worry about what they will do in a situation that might happen in the future. We could tell them do not cross that bridge until you come to it.
    It is usually much better to prevent a problem from happening than it is to find ways to solve it. So we say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
    63. The author often comforts her daughter with the proverb that ____.
    A. the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
    B. good things come in small packages
    C. too many cooks spoil the soup
    D. two heads are better than one
    64. If someone says “two heads are better than one”, he means____.
    A. jobs will be done better if two work together
    B. a problem will be solved easily by many people
    C. jobs won’t be done well if there are too many people
    D. you can’t do something bad even if someone else does it
    65.The underlined word “pessimists” in the sixth paragraph refers to those people_____.
    A. who always look on the bright side
    B. who always expect bad things to happen
    C. who are always full of hope for the future
    D. who always make preparations for the worst
    66. Which of the following are optimists likely to say?
    A. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
    B. We hope for the best and prepare for the worst
    C. Don’t cross the bridge until you come to it.
    D. Every cloud has a silver lining

    C
    At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten(="say" that you will hurt somebody if they don’t do what you want) the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.
    What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options(职业选择). In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their choices have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status(地位). A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “just a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being steered(劝导) away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.
    Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.
    63. Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?
    A. Because American health conditions are becoming worse and worse.
    B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.
    C. Because women have been provided with many different jobs.
    D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses.
    64. The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for ___________.
    A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US
    B. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students
    C. not asking the government to raise the nurses’ payment
    D. persuading the students not to be nurses
    65. The author wrote this passage in order to __________.
    A. describe the unequal treatment of women in the US
    B. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem
    C. tell us women’s free choice of jobs today
    D. call on women not to be nurses
    66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. High school students think themselves too bright to be nurses.
    B. Women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries.
    C. Of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed.
    D. Nursing used to be a popular job among women.

    With a VISA card in your hand, the world opens up to you. With more than 24 million places across the world accepting VISA, you can use your VISA card instead of cash to pay for your everyday purchases—whether you are shopping at the grocery store, dining at a restaurant, filling your car with petrol or buying the perfect gift on your travels. You can even use it to get cash from more than one million ATMs around the world.
    To avoid even that inconvenience, you can take the following basic precautions:When you get your card:
    Sign the signature panel immediately;4BIf you have been given a PIN(personal identification number) to use at a cash machine or in shops, memorize it—never write it down;
    If you choose your own PIN, or change the one you were given, avoid obvious choices such as your date of birth or telephone number;
    Do not tell anyone your PIN;
    At home
    Keep your sales and cash machine receipts and check them against your card or bank statement;
    If any amount is incorrect or you spot a transaction you did not make, call the bank or other organizations that issued your card immediately;
    Keep a list of your card numbers, along with the telephone numbers you should call if they are lost or stolen.
    In the shop
    Check the sales slip to ensure the amount is correct and the total has been filled in before you sign;
    Make sure the retailer gives the card back to you, along with your copy of the voucher(收据）；
    Keep your card close to you—be ware of pickpockets(扒手);
    Do not leave your card in your car’s glove compartment.
    Telephone and mail order shopping:
    When you place an order over the telephone or by mail, give your card number only if you are confident about the company’s reputation;
    You might be asked for your VISA card security code—the three digits at the end of the card number printed on the signature panel. Give the seller that code but never give your PIN.
    43.If you were asked for your VISA card security code, what would you do?
    A.Never tell the card number to anybody
    B.Check the card number and never give your PIN
    C.Give your card number only if you are confident about the company
    D.Call the bank or other organizations for help
    44.What’s a VISA card?
    A.It’s a card that you can use to pay for something.
    B.It’s a card which includes a PIN, without that it is penniless.
    C.It’s another form of money, which can buy anything around the world.
    D.It’s something that you can place an order over the telephone or by mail.
    45.What’s the title of the passage?
    A.VISA Card Is Important            B.ATM’s Replacement—VISA Card
    C.Inconvenient, Safe But Cheap       D.VISA Card—Another World Opens to You
    46.Which of the following statements is right?
    A.We can buy anything in the world with a VISA.
