    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish ” the Finnish people are．

    　　Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare(费)．The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety．

    　　The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners．Hotels guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining room to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(登记卡)to the waiter．With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends free of charge．

    　　The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with boss on the rate．From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly．

    　　With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages”．But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”

    D
    A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的)attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
    Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
    The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
    Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
    67．Why was Sam late for his job?
    A．Because he was ill.                     B．Because he got up late.
    C．Because he was caught in a traffic jam.      D．He was busy applying for a new job.
    68.the main idea of this passage is         
    A．They have no doubts about them.       B．They have doubts about them.
    C．They approve of them.                D．They avoid talking about them.
    69．the phrase “clamped off “in paragraph 3 probably means trying to    
    A．hold back            B．set off                C．leave behind         D．gave out
    70．Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
    A．Many lose life’s battles for they start a frontal attack.
    B．It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work
    C．Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
    D．Humor is a very effective way of dealing with difficult situations.

    It’s you and I who are to blame for the state of the earth. No question about it. It’s our life-style that is threatening life on Earth, so we must make the changes. The good news is that many of those changes are really quite simple, even enjoyable, but for every careful step we take as individuals, we must press government and industry to take a big step on our benefit. And we must start now. Tomorrow’s too late.

    My aim this year is to persuade as many of my friends and colleagues as possible to choose the train, and leave their cars behind too. My gardens have been pesticide(杀虫剂)–free zones for years and I enjoy seeing more wildlife on my doorstep as a result; I’ve tried to reduce my contribution to water pollution too, by using environment-friendly, phosphate(磷)–free washing powder , and by no longer thinking of the toilet as a suitable waste-disposal(处理) point .

    I ran after a young lady through town recently to give her back the piece of paper she had carelessly thrown away. She disappeared into a shop, and when I followed her inside and made my presentation, she was doubly embarrassed--she worked there, and the boss gave her a ticking–off too. I’ve started asking fellow drivers at gas stations why they aren’t using unleaded (无铅的) petrol . These are small things, but we have to start somewhere, and every little does help.

    1.We can learn from the first paragraph that____________.

    A．you and I are responsible for looking after the environment

    B．the government and industry are responsible for looking after the environment

    C．the government is responsible for looking after the environment

    D．both A and B

    2.To help the environment, the author is trying to do everything mentioned below EXCEPT_________.

    A．taking the train instead of a car

    B．avoiding the use of pesticides

    C．throwing away the old cars

    D．running after those who throw articles carelessly

    3.The author ran after a woman through town because he wanted__________.

    A．to find out where she worked

    B．to give her back the piece of paper she had lost

    C．to ask her to pay him for picking up the piece of paper.

    D．to tell her not to throw away pieces of paper carelessly

    4.The purpose of this passage is to__________.

    A．persuade his friends to take the train

    B．try to advise us all to protect our environment

    C．make clear who is responsible for the environment

    D．inform us of the good news

    第二节  读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

    阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

    In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who’s the Boss?

    Then one day Ethan’s mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quit TV. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.

             In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with cash for showing up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will.Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should be despite decades of reforms and budget increases.
