    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult _31_ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy _32_ （please）as her mother，who was always delighted with perfume.
    Besides，shopping at this time of the year was not _33_ pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or _34_ （push）you with their elbows（肘部），hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.
    Jane paused in front of a counter _35_ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk，”the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price. ”But Jane knew from past experience that her _36_ （choose）of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
    Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes _37_ sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while，she knew that this was a present which was bound to please _38_.
    When Jane got home，with her small but well-chosen present in her bag，her parents were already _39_ table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane _40_ （inform）.

    小题1:it
    小题2:to please
    小题3:a
    小题4:pushed
    小题5:where
    小题6:choice
    小题7:on
    小题8:him
    小题9:at
    小题10:was informed，
    本文讲叙Jane在圣诞节给父亲选礼物，因往年送父亲领带不能使父亲高兴，满以为这次买烟斗送父亲会让父亲高兴的，却被告知父亲终于戒烟了。
    小题1:在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose…。
    小题2:在形容词后作状语，只能用动词不定式。
    小题3:表示“一次”愉快的经历。
    小题4:与stepped并列，也用一般过去时。
    小题5:因两句之间没有连词，必定是填连词；后句是定语从句，要填的词在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。
    小题6:在形容词性物主代词后一定是用名词形式。
    小题7:因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配。
    小题8:给父亲买礼物，根据常识应是使父亲高兴，作宾语用代词。please him /father使他高兴。
    小题9:名词（table）在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，很可能就是作介词的宾语；由having supper可知，填at；因为at table表示“在餐桌边，在进餐”，也是习惯搭配。
    小题10:因Jane与inform是被动关系，又是一般过去时。

    To Whom It May Concern:
    My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
    My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

    At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地点) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
    The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
    The real attractiong of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition fo the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
    I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t thing I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
    小题1:What do we know about the author?
    A．He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
    B．He made a study of many farms before buying.

    小题2:Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?
    A．It was of good market value.
    B．It was next to the highway.
    C．It was in a good position.
    D．It was behind a nice garden.
    小题3:Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
    A．He was afraid the owner might changes his mind.
    B．He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
    C．He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
    D．He was eager to become a farm owner.
    小题4:The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ___.

    B．the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
    C．the removal of the trees around the house
    D．the failure to possess the Hollowell place
    小题5:What does the author believe as important in life?

    In many ways, our society doesn’t simply prepare for the kinds of lives that the elderly must lead. We have made medical advances that allow people to live longer than ever before, but we do not seem to know what to do with them after we have saved their lives. Too little allowance (津贴) is made for the person who is no longer earning a living, who can not walk long distances or drive a car, or who may have physical or mental disabilities that keep him from communicating with others. The institutional (慈善机构的) care we give our older people is a good reflection of the overall attitude of our society toward the aged.
    In the past few years, nursing homes have received wide attention as boring, meaningless places where old people often have little else to do but wait for the end of their lives. Elderly wards in mental hospitals are even worse. One of the most shocking things abort nursing homes has been the unwillingness of people on the outside to show real concern for what happens in these institutions. Even people who are entrusting (委托) a parent to the care of a home rarely ask about the nurse-parent ratio (比率), about the kinds of creative facilities or physical treatment equipment available, or about the frequency of doctors’ visits.
    And the government has provided federal money without enforcing high standards of care. In fact federal standards were lowered in 1974. Therefore, in some sense our concern for the aged seems to be moving backwards, not forwards. This picture is in striking contrast to the treatment of respectable patriarchs (男长者) and matriarchs (女长者) in many societies.
    1. What would be the most suitable title for this passage?
    A. Failure of Care for the Elderly                   B. The Elderly
    C. Institutional Care                            D. A National Shame
    2. We can conclude from this passage that the writer feels ____.
    A. nursing homes should be got rid of
    B. a country that can help people live longer should also be able to care for them better
    C. people have no thanks toward their parents
    D. our society’s institutions need to be reformed
    3. The writer believes that people who place a parent in a nursing home should ____.
    A. demand higher federal standards
    B. consider the example set in other countries
    C. be ashamed of not keeping the parents in their own homes
    D. investigate it first
    4. The writer complains ____.
    A. about the indifference of some people towards nursing homes
    B. about the shortage of equipment in nursing home
    C. that nursing homes keep the aged from communicating with others
    D. both A and B

    　　Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that my profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.
    　　Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.
    　　I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon（勤杂工） by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（低等的）treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.
    　　Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--- politely and formally.
    　　I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.
    　　It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.
    　　I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.
    　　68. What makes the author disappointed?
    　　A. Professionals tend to look down upon workers.
    　　B. Talented people have to do the job waiting tables.
    　　C. One’s position is used to measure one’s intelligence.
    　　D. Occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.
    　　69. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2?
    　　A. Waiting tables is a hard job.
    　　B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.
    　　C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.
    　　D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.
    　　70. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?
    　　A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a servant.
    　　B. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.
    　　C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.
    　　D. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.
    　　71. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.
    　　A. see what kind of person they are
    　　B. experience the feeling of being served
    　　C. share her working experience with her customers
    　　D. help them realize the difference between server and servant

    Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
    My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
    On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
    The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
    56. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
    A. He was silent most of the time.
    B. He was too proud of himself.
    C. He did not love his children.
    D. He expected too much of her.
    57. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .
    A. nervous                B. sorry              C. tired            D. safe
    58. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
    A. More critical.          B. More talkative
    C. Gentle and friendly.     D. Strict and hard-working.
    59. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .
    A. the author’s son                               B. the author’s father
    C. the friend of the author’s father         D. the café owner
