    D
    Ellen Swallow Richards was the first woman to earn a bachelor’s degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A chemist, social activist, teacher, and first woman member of the Institute of Engineering, she believed that housekeeping was a science. As a progressive thinker at the time, she thought that women needed to learn about money matters and have up-to-date information on cleanliness and nutrition. She encouraged women from all backgrounds to get the best education possible.
    Ellen was born in 1842 and was brought up in Massachusetts. A graduate of Vassar College in New York, she returned to New England to attend MIT. After her marriage to Professor Robert Richards, she worked in a laboratory at MIT, examining pollution of water sources in Massachusetts. Her work led to the creation of the first food-inspection (检验) laws of that state. She was instructor at MIT from 1884 until her death in 1911.
    Like other progressive thinkers of the time, Ellen was worried about problems of the poor and the effect of the environment on society. She considered the environment a key factor in quality of life. Within the family, as in the world at large, science was chief in tools used to help the poor. Science could help to manage money matters, keep a home safe and clean, and improve quality of life. Food properly cooked could be tasty, nutritious, and inexpensive. Better and cheaper food could protect the health and improve the lives of working-class families.
    Ellen created the science of housekeeping, now called home economics, and elevated（提升）it to a serious college subject. She worked tirelessly as a national leader in developing standards, materials, and teacher training for this new field. Her publications cover many subjects—from the chemistry of cooking and cleaning to the cost of living.
    57. According to the text, Ellen __________.
    A. provided new jobs for the poor            B. helped to create new kinds of food
    C. set up the field of home economics         D. created the ideas of food-inspection laws
    58. As a progressive thinker, Ellen __________.
    A. suggested people cook their own meals at home
    B. believed cheap food was better than expensive one
    C. advised women to get the best education possible
    D. considered money matters a key factor in quality of life
    59. Ellen believed that __________.
    A. poor families knew how to manage money
    B. families were well informed about good nutrition
    C. cheaper food could not protect people’s health
    D. families spent much on food but were not well nourished
    60. One can infer that, as a result of the efforts of people such as Ellen, __________.
    A. one may study home economics at a university for a career
    B. the pollution of water sources is no longer a problem
    C. most people today learn to cook at school
    D. science does not help much within the family as in the world

    My House
    My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me?
    I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass—I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的, 粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small tree house, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before Father’s death.
    This house is special—maybe only to me—but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight snack runs; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists; the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.
    This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up.
    59. Why did the author’s mother decide to move?
    A. Because she hated the countryside.
    B. Because Grandpa was on constant move.
    C. Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind.
    D. Because she thought a city flat more fit for them.
    60. What impressed the author when she first moved into the house?
    A. The tree house.                               B. The big trees.
    C. The cold floors.                              D. The green grass.
    61. How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her?
    A. By arguing whether the house was standard.
    B. By explaining why the house suited their needs.
    C. By describing the small things related to her house.
    D. By comparing the differences between country and city life.
    62. The author describes the house with ______.
    A. affection          B. responsibility              C. commitment    D. enthusiasm

    To: manager@ tastytreat.com.ca
    Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34p.m.
    From: raymondyuen@ canada.net
    Subject: Complaint
    Dear Mr. Price,
    I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.
    It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
    Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(蒜). When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.
    We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.
    The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
    You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
    Thank you for your attention.
    Yours sincerely,
    Raymond Yuen

    John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl with a rose whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t.
    When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin. The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
    He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
    She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.                                        
    As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
    The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
    She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
    41. John was eager to know the former owner of the book because he______.
    A. was very interested in the contents of the book
    B. was impressed by the notes written by its owner
    C. wanted to improve his handwriting
    D. wanted to discuss the book with her
    42. What happened to John after getting in touch with Miss Hollis Maynell?
    A. He served in the army abroad.             B. He went overseas for vacation.
    C. He went on a business trip in New York.      D. He visited Miss Maynell.
    43. What do we know about the woman with a rose?
    A. She was Miss Maynell’s close friend.   B. She was a waitress in the big restaurant.
    C. She was probably a passerby.         D. She was paid to meet John at the Station.
    44. Which would be the best title of the text?

    Our 16-year-old daughter started to smoke last Christmas. It killed me to see that lovely girl with a cigarette(香烟) in her mouth. I told her how I felt. Martha continued to smoke（抽烟）, saying, “It's my life,” and so on. I told her if she didn't stop smoking, I wouldn't send her to college. She agreed to give it up.

    C
    Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3. Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
    “I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (附属的) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”
    Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.

The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world.

    The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.
    48. What does the word in bald “rivals” probably mean in the second paragraph?
    A. competitors.        B. enemies.         C. players.          D. supporters.
    49. The winning of bidding for the World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Olympic Games implies ______.
    A. China is beginning to play a more important part on the international stage.
    B. China has played the most important role in the international affairs.
    C. China has become a developed country for many years.
    D. China is the first Asian country to win the expo bid in history.
    50. As we know, in general, the Word Expo is usually held every ______ years, while the Olympics is usually held every ______ years.
    A. 4；5          B. 5；4         C. 4；4               D. 5；5
    51. By bidding for the expo and the Olympics, we are sure that ______.
    A. China will beat rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea
    B. China will become a super country in the United Nations
