    B
    When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
    Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
    First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
    Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
    It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
    59. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
    A. Moral deeds of people.         B. Religious activities of the church.
    C. Moral goodness of the giver.     D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
    60. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?
    A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
    B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past .
    C. We don’t meet with those who need help any more.
    D. Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.
    61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
    B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
    C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
    D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
    62. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because______.
    A. the cases can be so different
    B. there are so many beggars
    C. there is so much money wasted
    D. there are so many different arguments

    B
    Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.
    Winston?Salem is one of them. It’s a mid?sized city in what’s called the plateau（high land）, between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It’s home to the nation’s biggest open?air tobacco market.?
    The giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s headquarters is in Winston?Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds’best?known cigarette brands. Fast?growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.?
    From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it’s called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.?
    Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women’s work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation’s oldest boarding schools for young women— the Moravians’Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation. ?
    Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what’s called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.?
    The historic community is booming again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about S| 15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.?
    61. From the passage we can know that____________.?
    A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city?
    B. Salem is home to the tobacco market?
    C. the city Winston-alem has two names?
    D. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand
    62. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.?
    A. the two cities benefited each other?
    B. Salem developed faster than Winston?
    C. R.J. Reynolds Company has moved into Salem?
    D. the combination meets the wishes of the people
    63. The city Salem is special for its__________.?
    A. boarding school                          B. lifestyle and tradition?
    C. respect for brainpower                    D. religious belief
    64. The underlined word “rehabilitate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “_________”.?
    A. reconstruct            B. evaluate         C. enlarge         D. decorate?
    65. What will probably be talked about in the following part? ?
    A. Some other attractions in Winston-Salem. ?
    B. How Winston makes profits from tourism. ?
    C. Other examples of cities combined by two parts.?
    D. Something about the boarding school for women.

    “What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal.
    Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other names—like John and David, Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
    People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B. J. or R. C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar. What’s in a name? A world of significance. So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an American politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”
    【小题1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

    A．People change names in order to be popular with the new generation.
    B．Names will change by themselves in order to be popular.
    C．Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.
    D．No names can stand the test of time.
    【小题2】When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that _________.
    A．the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning
    B．you can name after a well-known person
    C．surname should be paid attention to
    D．you can create a name that is special
    【小题3】The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means          .
    A．nicknameB．the first letterC．short formD．title
    【小题4】The author will name a newly born baby girl             .
    A．BerthaB．FannyC．YunyunD．Elizabeth
    【小题5】What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Names have great significance to Americans.
    B．Names change when time goes by.
    C．Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.
    D．Roses smell sweet by any other name.

    The secret of carrier pigeons' unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by scientists: the feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do.
    Scientists now believe the phrase "as the crow (乌鸦) flies" no longer means the shortest most direct route between two points. They say it is likely that crows and other day birds also choose AA-suggested routes, even though it makes their journeys longer.
    Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite (GPS) and got a surprising result. The birds often don't use the sun to decide their directions.
    Instead they fly along motorways, turn at crossing and even go around roundabouts (绕道) , adding miles to their journeys.
    "It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade-long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts (本能) and follow the road system," said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behavior at Oxford University's Department of Zoology.
    Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system (导航系统) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.
    "But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work," said Guilford.
    "In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road. They are just making their journey as simple as possible."

    1. 1.

      What would be the best title of the passage?

      1. A.
        How Pigeons Find Their Ways Home?
      2. B.
        Why Pigeons Can Fly long Distance?
      3. C.
        Birds Follow Roads as We Do.
      4. D.
        Why Crows Fly the Shortest D stance?
    2. 2.

      What does the words "the feathered navigators" refer to?

      1. A.
        The crows.
      2. B.
        The pigeons.
      3. C.
        Day birds.
      4. D.
        Animals that can fly.
    3. 3.

      Scientists used to think that homing pigeons often find their directions ____.

      1. A.
        by global positioning satellite
      2. B.
        by the sun
      3. C.
        by the road system
      4. D.
        by following other birds
    4. 4.

      Why do homing pigeons tend to follow the road system daring the r journey?

      1. A.
        Because they don't have their inbuilt directional instincts now.
      2. B.
        Because their own navigational system doesn't work.
      3. C.
        Because it is too hard to use their own navigational system.
      4. D.
        Because it is easier to make journey simple by following road system.
