    Every person leaves a footprint．That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank cards，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．
    The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live。It’s human nature to tell stories which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to  have a holiday in Spain or in Italy, if he prefers two-or-three-star hotels and where he might hide his assets．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research．
    Nine times out of 10，I find the people I'm looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed￡500，000 to a subcontractor(分包商)。The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was all done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．
    However, I asked the son If I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain． 
    I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sport‘s in a beautiful mountain area．He was living in a big house on a  large piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for．
    68．We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who           ．
    A．follows people and reports on what they do
    B．helps people start business
    C．gives advice to people about the law   
    D．settles arguments between businesses or companies 
    69．The underlined word “assets”(in paragraph 2)most probably means        ．
    A．houses         B．family         C．identity    D．possessions
    70．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
    A．The author visits the place where his subject used to live in order to find out why he is dishonest．
    B．It’s human nature to share some trouble with others
    C．The author usually tracks someone’s bank card first if he wants to find out where the man is staying．
    D．The lorry supplier moved his asset’s to his son in order to prevent paying back the money he owed．
    71．We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might        
    A．bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son
    B．give up hope of settling the debt
    C．get his money back
    D．sell the big house in Bulgaria

    小题1:A

    A 10-year-old boy fatally shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mother’s home for a weekend visit.
    The incident happened about 3:45 p.m. on a cul-de-sac (死胡同)in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department.
    An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the man’s Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. B. E.

    I don’t really care how many claws the animal in a comic book (漫画书) has. I’m not overly concerned whether the bird is colored green or grey. In fact I don’t think comic book “collector” really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book “appreciator”. My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of “visual story - telling”. In the respect, comic books are the best thing going. And there are some great comics out there.
    I’m not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading – skills. The Mighty Thor made me develop an interest in Norse legends; Challengers of the Unknown got me interested in science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard (起点) for my childhood imagination.
    So just how does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example. Writer Scott Macloud was philosophical (达观的) about what makes a comic book stand out in his best – selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically useful for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明).
    On the Internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found. More than a few are mainly about superheroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would describe as “literary (文学的),” in that you can find some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Among them there is a great article and interview at www.rcharvey.com discussing the influence of several artists and writers in the field.
    Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.
    And wanting to read more is a good thing!
    53．According to Para. 1 the author is concerned about          .
    A．the color of the characters in a comic book
    B．how many comic books he has collected
    C．what he can learn from a visual story
    D．whether a story is true to life
    54．What do we know about Scott Macloud’s best – selling book?
    A．There are many classic examples if comic books in it.
    B．It is helpful 1 for students studying science fiction.
    C．It suggests what good comic books are like.
    D．It is mainly intended for parents.
    55．In the passage, the author encourages people to         .
    A．follow the example of superheroes from comic books
    B．join in the discussion at www.rcharvey.com
    C．consider comic books to be literary.
    D．buy and read more comic books
    56．What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Children’s favorite books
    B．Well – known comic books
    C．Comic books – cooler than you think
    D．How to become a good comic book writer

    I never got along well with Dad. But when he was dying, I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping a swim would relax me.
    The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked. When I told him something about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
    Finally the man said, ‘Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.’ All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling (摇摆的) bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle(挠痒). ‘Yes, I know he does love me,’ I heard myself say. And for the first time these years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
    Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive（原谅） my father. Then I wished he’d forgiven me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 a.m. My sister’s voice sent a shock (寒战) through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace. But as my sadness grew, I remembered that the man by the pool had already brought Dad and me together.
    64. From the passage we learn that the author __________.
    A. didn’t know his father was seriously ill        B. always thought highly of his father
    C. lived in Nebraska far away from his family       D. was going to see his father
    65. When the author was in the swimming pool, __________.
    A. many other people were there, too
    B. he talked a lot with the man by the pool
    C. he greeted the man by the pool first
    D. the man by the pool told him everything about his family
    66. What made the author change his original（原始的）idea about his father?
    A. That he was made to think of the fact that his father loved him.
    B. That the man by the pool mentioned(提及) his interesting childhood.
    C. That he remembered his father had taught him to ride a bike.
    D. That he knew his father would leave him forever.
    67. In the last paragraph, the author was sad that he __________.
    A. hadn’t accepted the kind stranger’s advice
    B. had no chance to make peace with his father
    C. hadn’t respected his father when he was young
    D. hadn’t stayed with his father before.

    When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."
    When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.
    Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It's like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
    But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
    The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.
    69. When first introduced to new people, we should________.
    A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feeling
    B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts
    C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes
    D. mention faults we find in the other people
    70. According to the author's advice, interpersonal relations________.
    A. should be set as a required course in schools
    B. are more important than other courses in school
    C. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics
    D. is the only key to one's success in life
    71. The underlined word 'play-acting' in the fourth paragraph means________.
    A. being totally honest         B. being a little dishonest
    C. acting out what one feels          D. acting in a play
    72. The best title for the passage could be________.
    A. The Key to Success         B. Best Ways to Make Friends
    C. Personal Relations           D. The First Four Minutes
