    I went over my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking.
    My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed.
    At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.
    My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world.
    61. The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that ________.
    A. she thought the lady was too busy
    B. she would make them as thanks to her
    C. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time
    D. they had had an agreement before
    62. In the writer’s opinion, ________.
    A. my grandmother has a secret way of living
    B. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration
    C. few people are as generous as my grandmother now
    D. my grandmother will get something in return
    63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers.
    B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way.
    C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.
    D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself.
    64. We may infer from the text that the writer ________.
    A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life
    B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do
    C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind
    D. is proud of his grandmother

    When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can changed the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. "Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? You grownups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect your words."
    I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激） action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I've sat through many more conferences, I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
    When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I'm learning that as we have to make choices--education, career, lifestyle--life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are learning a shortsighted way of looking at the future, focusing on four-year government terms and quarterly business reports. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren't taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for our future when we were 12 was idealistic and naïve（天真）.
    Today I'm no longer a child, but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. I hope this goal will be met through our common efforts. Thank you all.
    57．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to          .
    A．end poverty and make school beautiful
    B．find environmental answers and show off
    C．focus people’s attention on some social problems
    D．find a wonderful place and clean it up
    58．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to?
    A．A long period of laughing.
    B．A cold and unfriendly welcome.
    C．An expression used for greeting.
    D．Great applause or cheering.
    59．The information in the text is presented mainly through          .
    A．question and answer         B．a personal lecture
    C．cause and effect                  D．listing steps in a process
    60．Which of the following best describes the speaker?
    A．He is an experienced educator.         B．He is an impolite man.
    C．He is a man of great worries.   D．He is a man of social responsibility.

    B
    Piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent Tattoos（纹身）and body years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.
    Kerstin Otto from Washington:
    The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.
    Tiara from Indiana:
    I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.  There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
    Lee from Illinois:
    Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos
    and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.
    Nagib from Washington:
    I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.
    Jackson from Ohio:
    I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”
    Brittney from New York:
    You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.
    60. Who is wholeheartedly lost in tattoos and piercing?
    A. Tiara           B. Kerstin           C. Nagib.           D. Lee.
    61. Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercing are beautiful?
    A. Jackson.          B. Brittney.           C. Tiara.           D. Nagib.
    62. We can conclude that ________.
    A. tattoos and piercing are a new kind of elegant art
    B. all the teachers in the West are in favor of tattoos and piercing
    C. everything is changeable with time going on
    D. it is necessary to live with all different views of beauty
    63. The best title for this passage is probably _________.
    A. Body Art or Damage                    B. Damage to the Youth’s Body
    C. Young People’s Different Curiosities       D. A Great Anxiety About Young People

    After several years, I was   54     department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be  55   to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were  56  there, but Dr. Offutt supported me  57    .

I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how   64   they are: I’m still one of them.

    There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people  36  to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you  37  is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you   38   others. Because while there will be times  39  outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely  40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are  41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision  42   anyway.
    You were   43   with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and  44  the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
    against your own   45  .
    Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of  46  a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the   47   necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to   48   on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being   49  to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior  50  knew more than I did, and so I  51  too much significance to their opinions.
    You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in  52  . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by  53  and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to  54   this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to   55  and to life.

    The “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves y
    ou sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
    　The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent high chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
    　 Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
    　A study of 11000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.
    　The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.
    　Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.
    　“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “ All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) in the arteries (动脉) which will cause a heart attack.
    　 “When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.
    72．Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, _________.
    A．is not so serious as people thought
    B．is harmful to working people in developed countries
    C．is the first killer in Germany and Italy
    D．is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
    73．To protect people from heat attacking, doctors have paid much attention to __________-.
    A．people’s working time      B．people’s living place
    C．people’s diet and life style   D．people’s nationalities
    74．It can be learned from the passage that heart attack has nothing to do with __________.
    A．blood pressure     B．heart rate      C．hormonal changes     D．blood group
    75．If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?
    A．Stop working on Monday 　　　       B．Create a pleasant working environment
    C．Get up late on Monday morning　 D．Do to work with a doctor

    A
    People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
    When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
    You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. This may be an attempt to please you, so you will enjoy shopping. Some supermarkets want to increase their profits by playing soft and slow music, because the slow music makes you walk slowly and you have more time to buy things.
    Fresh fruit and vegetables are usually put near the entrance. When you arrive at the supermarket, you concentrate on the kinds of fruit and vegetables you need first. Once you've got that out of the way, you can relax and do the rest of the shopping without any hurry. Besides, if you see fresh goods first, it gives you a "feel good" impression of freshness, so you can not help spending your money.
    Maybe you go to the meat department then. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk past all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
    Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says "Buy me quickly!" to the customers. The fresh fruit and vegetables say "Buy me quickly!" as you walk by. The expensive meat says "Buy me quickly!" The supermarket tells you what to buy.
    56. Some supermarkets play soft, slow music because it ________.
    A. can help customers get the things they want
    B. makes customers walk slowly and buy more
    C. can make customers relaxed and happy
    D. can tell customers exactly where to go
    57. The manager knows ________.
    A. where customers come from    B. which customers like slow music
    C. where fresh meat should be put  D. which customers like cheap meat
    58. When walking past the expensive meat, the customers will _______.
    A. possibly buy some                     B. pay no attention to it
    C. look for some cheap meat              D. feel uncomfortable
    59. If you see fresh goods first in the supermarket, ________.
    A. you know where to get things   B. it brings you good luck
    C. it makes you spend less money  D. you’ll get a fresh impression
    60. Supermarket managers make the food attractive so that ________.
    A. the customers will buy more              B. it looks very expensive
    C. the customers come often                D. it seems cheap and fine

    Dear Mr. Barton,
    I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).
    Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.
    We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.
    Yours sincerely,
    Resident
    57. What does the writer feel? 
    A. Excited                      B. surprised                  C. Angry               D. Happy
    58. What does the word “deteriorated” mean?
    A. Changed                 B. Improved                C. Moved    D. Worsened
    59. What is the main purpose of the letter?
    A. To ask Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peace.        
    B. To inform Mr. Barton of the noise he made.
    C. To talk about what Mr. Barton did.   D. To give a warning to Mr. Barton.
    60. What is true according to the letter?
    A. Mr. Barton paid no attention to the others’ unhappiness.   
    B. Mr. Barton never replied to the others’ unhappiness
    C. Mr. Barton always said sorry to those unhappy with him.     
    D. Mr. Barton never apologized to the other residents.
