    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项
    My father was driving us to our grandparents’ house for our annual Christmas dinner. The closer we got to the turnoff (岔道) for my grandparents’ house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned in the middle of the road and said: “I can’t stand it!”
    “What?” asked my mother.
    “It’s those people back there at the Pan Am, standing in the rain. They’ve got children. It’s Christmas. I can’t stand it.”
    When my father pulled into the service station, I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children – two girls and a small boy.
    My father rolled down his window. “Merry Christmas,” he said.
    “Howdy (您好),” the man replied. He was very tall and had to stoop (弯腰) slightly to peer into the car.
    My sisters Jill, Sharon, and I stared at the children, and they stared back at us.
    “You’re getting wet standing here. Just a couple miles up the road there’s a shed (小棚) with a cover there, and some benches,” my father said. “Why don’t you all get in the car?”
    The man thought about it for a moment, and then he waved to his family. They climbed into the car.
    Once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa had found them yet. Three unhappy faces gave him the answer.
    “Well, I didn’t think so,” my father said, winking at my mother, “because when I saw Santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me if he could leave your toys at my house. We’ll just go to get them before I take you to the bus stop.”
    All at once, the three children’s faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in the back seat, laughing and chattering.
    When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys that were spread out under our Christmas tree. One of the girls spied Jill’s doll and hugged it to her breast. The little boy grabbed Sharon’s ball. And the other girl picked up something of mine.
    We left them there at the bus stop in Winborn. As we drove away, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at the little girl hugging her new doll.
    That was the Christmas when my sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy.
    56. The writer’s father U-turned in the middle of the road because ______.
    A. he could not stand the people at the service station
    B. he could not bear the thought of leaving the people behind
    C. he wanted to do something special for his parents
    D. he wanted to help the family standing in the rain
    57. The reason the father asked the kids if Santa had found them was probably that _____.
    A. he knew the mention of Santa would lift their spirits
    B. he once promised to receive them as guests in his house
    C. he wanted to avoid embarrassing the family
    D. he had met Santa and got the presents for the kids
    58. How did the author feel at the end of the story?
    A. She was pleased that they had been able to give the kids presents and make them happy.
    B. She was unhappy remembering that they had been late for the Christmas dinner.
    C. She was angry because she realized that she didn’t receive a Christmas gift that year.
    D. She was puzzled by why her father had done this on Christmas.
    59. What is the article mainly about?
    A. How my family found the lost Santa.
    B. The people at the service station.
    C. The art of celebrating Christmas.
    D. The joy of making others happy.

    第三部分：写作 (共二节, 满分 45分)
    第一节  阅读表达（共 5 小题, 每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分）
    阅读下面的短文, 请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）
    There’s nothing wrong with turning your hobbies into business. We’re supposed to enjoy our work, right? Just turn something we already enjoy into our careers. Whether you’re turning into painting or building, you know you feel proud of the result of your efforts.
    However, you should first explore the concept and do your market research and other planning. Don’t forget to consider what your day-to-day work life would look like.
    There is one very positive aspect of doing a business plan based on your hobby. You may be highly motivated to do some planning and research, since this relates to an activity you know well and enjoy, and then you may be more likely to do the necessary planning. This is a big plus! And once you see how to do this research, you may be more likely to do it for other ideas you will come up with.
    Something I’ve learned over the years is that creating business out of the first few ideas you come up with isn’t a good goal. If you are brainstorming ideas for your new career path, I suggest you list lots of ideas and choose one or two that have the most potential to explore, as well as those that really draw you in.                  
    The evolution of your ideas is the best reason to explore those first ideas. The best careers come from exploring the first ideas and finding out what will and what won’t work for you.                                                    
    Make sure the business plan you are creating based on your hobbies should be the one that you will enjoy and that will add to your quality of life. Then start with your hobbies, and enjoy the adventure of finding out where you will end up!
    56. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    57. Please explain the underlined word “plus” in English. (Please answer within 5 words.)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    58. Why is it favorable to you to make a business plan based on your hobby? (Please answer within 25 words.)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    59. What is the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    60.   What kind of business do you intend to start in the future? Why? (Please answer within 40 words.)

    On December 8, Xinhua News Agency published a list of news keywords that it believes sum up the year 2009.
    The phrase “low-carbon life” had been heard in China before 2009, but in 2009, it has become popular among young Chinese who are concerned about the environment. It comes as world leaders are talking about fighting global warming in Copenhagen, Denmark. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are the main cause of global warming, which leads to extreme weather and other conditions.
    Living a low carbon life means trying to cut carbon dioxide emissions(排放) in one’s daily life. For example, burning less coal and oil, which produce CO2. It means walking, biking or taking buses, rather than using a private car.
    “A(H1N1) flu” is also on Xinhua’s list. Since April, 2009 the virus has made over 100,000 people ill on the Chinese mainland and 325 people had died of it as of December 9. But as US magazine Newsweek pointed out recently, the best evidence suggests it is no more dangerous than a bad seasonal flu.
    The year 2009 saw the growing impact of the Internet on society, with the word “duomaomao”, meaning hide-and-seek, becoming a hit on the web. On February 12, Li Qiaoming died of brain injuries several days after being detained(拘留) by police in Jinning county, Yunnan Province. Police said it was an accident sustained(遭受)while he was playing hide-and-seek with his fellow prisoners. Netizens cast doubt on this explanation and called for an investigation. It turned out that Li had been beaten to death by other prisoners.
    Another phrase connected with the Internet on the list is “Net Addiction Camps”. Many parents send children obsessed(沉迷) with the web to “Net Addiction Camps” for treatment. But some camps use physical punishment or electrical shocks. In 2009, some young people died as a result of the extreme methods, which led to a nationwide discussion. In November, the Ministry of Health banned the use of physical punishment to keep children off the net and dropped the term “net addiction(网瘾)”. It did not say that excessive(过度的) net use is a mental illness either.
    66. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.
    A. call on the public to live a low-carbon life
    B. show the great effect of the Internet
    C. introduce some news keywords of the year 2009
    D. warn people not to be addicted to the Internet
    67. The underlined word “Netizens” in the fifth paragraph refer to_________.
    A. Li’s fellow prisoners
    B. Li’s friends and relatives
    C. the local people
    D. people actively involved in online communities
    68. What can be inferred from the incident of “duomaomao”?
    A. Hide-and-seek is a dangerous game.
    B. Li was beaten to death by other prisoners.
    C. Police did a great job in the investigation (调查).
    D. It was the influence of the Internet that led to the truth.
    69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The phrase “low-carbon life” had been popular among young people before 2009.
    B. Global warming mainly results from greenhouse gases.
    C. A (H1N1) flu is more dangerous than a bad seasonal flu.
    D. Li Qiaoming died of an accident while playing hide-and-seek with his fellow prisoners.
    70. Which of the following doesn’t mean a low-carbon life ?
    A. Using a private car.
    B. Using efficient light bulbs.
    C. Walking, biking or taking buses.
    D. Turning your air-conditioner one degree higher.
