    It was the perfect weather for leaf watching, and my housemate Julie and I meant to spend the weekend with our friends in the North Georgia Mountains.
    “Don’t you want to come along?” Julie asked her 15-year-old son, Mark. “Enjoy the leaves by yourselves,” he told her. “I’ll be fine staying home by myself.”
    Julie and I drove there in my car after work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed the beautiful colors. All of a sudden, I had terrible feeling. “Go home,” a voice seemed to urge me. I couldn’t explain it, but I didn’t want to be there anymore. I just wanted to go home. “Carol, calm down. You’re being silly,” Julie said. But the urge just got stronger.
    “I’ve got to leave,” I said. “If you want to stay, you can get a ride back with anyone else tomorrow.”
    Julie stood up. “No, I’ll go with you,” she said. We almost didn’t talk during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty.
    Finally, we reached home. The lights were on in the house, but something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up. Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. “Mark!” she shouted. “Mark!” We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smoke—a pillow too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it. Mark had built a fire to keep warm, and some ember(灰烬) had flown out. The whole house could have gone up if we hadn’t gotten there just then!

    When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school subjects. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
    For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tried to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.
    If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference in what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life, he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a walk between him and life in general.
    61. According to the passage, intelligence is the ability to ________________ .
    A. get high scores in some tests                         B. do well in school subjects
    C. deal with life                                              D. know what to do
    62. In a new situation, an intelligent person _______________ .
    knows more about what might happen to him
    is sure of the result he will get
    is ready to face and fit himself in the situation
    cares more about himself
    63. If an intelligent person failed, he would  ___________ .
    try not to feel ashamed                              B. learn from his experiences
    C.  try to find all he could                            D. make sure what result he would get
    64. The difference between bright children and non-bright children lies in _________ .
    A. their attitude towards life                                    B. the degree of cleverness
    C. the amounts of knowledge about the world     D. their way of thinking

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
    Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
    One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
    Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
    Gloria persuaded her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
    Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
    At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the world better.
    56. When did Gloria get her first job?
    A. A few years before college.            B. Several years after college.
    C When she was studying at college.       D. When she was working in the TV station.
    57. In which part-time job did Gloria feel the happiest?
    A. Cleaning in the hotel.                 B. Selling books in the bookstore.
    C. Serving coffee in the student union.       D. Making maps for the Forest Service.
    58. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?
    A. Her boss agreed to raise money.          B. She paid for the operation herself.
    C She allowed the boy to show on TV.       D. Her news report affected some doctors.
    59. What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?
    A. Helping people through her work.        B. Reporting interesting stories.
    C Being able to do different jobs well.       D. Paying for her college education herself.

    Sandeep Mukerji was on his first visit to Thailand but would leave the “Land of Smiles” with a frown and an empty pocket.
    A stone’s throw from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the 26-year-old Canadian ran into a monk in a robe. The monk told him that the attraction he was hoping to visit had been closed.
    The monk then introduced Mukerji to a jewellery store instead. On the way there, three different people told him that it was the last day of a once-a-year, tax-free jewellery promotion to encourage tourism.
    They said that tourists can make a lot of money by buying gems（宝石）in Thailand and selling them once at home.
    Two hours later, Mukerji had spent US $ 1, 250 on a set of almost worthless jewellery in the jewellery store.
    “The whole process took me by surprise. They take advantage of your greed,” he said.
    In fact, Mukerji is just one of a huge number of tourists who are cheated by the promise of making a fortune. The scam（诡计）brings Thailand more than US $ 10 million each year.
    Although tourist police stations have displayed posters to warn of the scam, many fresh-faced tourists still fall prey to the trick.
    The police say they receive 5～10 complaints a day. Many more may not realize they have been cheated until they go back home.
    That authorities say that the jewellery scam is harmful to Thailand’s image, but getting rid of the cheats is hard.
    Sanit Miphan, head of the police, said the scam has been running for about 15 years but not one jewellery shop owner has been arrested.
    The shops usually open for two weeks and then close. They reopen and register under a new name. What’s more, overcharging（要价过高）itself is not breaking the law.
    Yet, to keep the tourism business alive, the police said they would take action against any shop receiving more than 10 complaints.
    73. Sandeep Mukerji was cheated probably because of all the following EXCEPT that_______.
    A. he was young
    B. he believed that the monk wouldn’t cheat others
    C. he had more or less the wish to try his fortune
    D. the cheat scam was too skillful to be found out
    74. How many people cheated Sandeen Mukerji?
    A. Two        B. Three       C. Four          D. Five
    75. Suppose everyone who was cheated lost as much as Mukerji did, how many visitors to Bankok would be cheated each year?
    A. About 6, 000   B. About 8, 000   C. About 10, 000.    D. About12, 000.
    76. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. Thai tourist police are carrying out their task very efficiently.
    B. The management of Thai tourist market is very strict.
    C. Any shop receiving complaints will be punished as seriously as possible.
    D. It is hard for the police to crack down（制裁） the cheats efficiently partly because many cheats’ deeds seem not to break the law.

    It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
    At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband’s quest to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitudes, we reluctantly put on our snow gear(用具) and headed outside. It wasn’t long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
    In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, gigantic (巨人般的) snowman.
    People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed.
    With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s remains to look like a rabbit.
    As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
    The email said: … your neighbor looks on in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with vigor and joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
    Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I’d like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
    60. How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first?
    A. By having a busy day.      B. By staying at home. C. By building a snowman.   D. By visiting neighbors.
    61. The reason for her husband to make a snowman was that ________.
    A. he had to please his neighbors                       B. he was better at it than others
    C. he wanted to cheer himself up                       D. he must get the last chance before spring
    62. From the passage we can know that the snowman_______.
    A. was built only by the author’s family            B. was surprisingly big in size
    C. made people more forgiving                   D. made building snowman popular

    A study into character, intelligence and usefulness shows dogs are better pets than cats—but only by a whisker.
    Staff at New Scientist magazine first listed the areas where cats fared better. These included having bigger brains—compared to their body size. Cats’brains also contain 1.4 million more cells, devoted to complex functions such as memory and attention, than dogs. Cats’second point was given for being more popular, with 204 million living in the top ten cat-owning nations compared to 173 million dogs in the ten countries where dogs are favored. Cats also get more attention from humans, with purrs （呼噜声）and miaows easily to be noticed. Although dogs can vary their barks, they cannot match the attention-seeking of cats. It is a similar story when it comes to senses. Cats can see in lower light than dogs and have a far wider hearing range and a sharper sense of smell. They are also said to be’greener’pets because their smaller appetites mean less area of land required to farm their food.
    But in the other six categories examined—many of which related to getting on with humans dogs had the edge.
    Dogs have a longer shared history with humans, maybe as long as 135,000 years. Cats are relative newcomers to our homes. Similarly, dogs have a greater ability to bond with their masters. Even four-month-old puppies choose a human companion over another dog. Dogs scored a third point for their better powers of understanding and following human gestures. One study found that a dog called Rico had mastered the meaning of more than 200 words. The ability to perform roles such as being a guide dog for the blind meant dogs were rated better than cats when it came to their problem-solving abilities. And they are easier to train.
    With the scores tied at five-all, the deciding point fell on usefulness—with dogs coming out on top.
    Dogs, studies show, help cut human stress, while taking them for walks keeps their owners fit and helps them meet new people. New Scientist says: “Dogs can hunt and guard. They can sniff out drugs and bombs; they guide blind and deaf people, find someone buried in ruins, and possibly even predict earthquakes.”
    And in a conclusion certain to set off argument, it adds: “Cats are good if you have rodents （啮齿类动物）.”
    48．Which of the following is not cats’ advantage?
    A．Better at grasping their owners’ instructions.
    B．Having relatively larger brains.
    C．Affecting the environment less.
    D．More likely to drawing attention.
    49．The underlined phrase “by a whisker”（paragraph 1）probably means “_________”.
    A．quite considerably                   B．just a little bit
    C．most significantly                  D．in some aspects
    50．We can learn the fact from the passage that________ .
    A．Dogs are far from satisfactory in terms of their ability to catch rodents
    B．Dogs can better help people who have problems with their sight and hearing
    C．Comparatively speaking, cats have a better interaction with humans
    D．Dogs beat cats when it comes to their senses of sight, heating and smell
    51．Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Cats beat Dogs                     B．Fight like Cat and Dog
    C．Cats versus Dogs                    D．Cats away, Dogs Play
