(20 points)Passage 1Mr. and Mrs. Jones flat was full of boxes, big and small; trunks (大皮箱); and furniture. The two of them were busy with pencils and paper, checking their list of luggage (行李) when there was a ring at the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged lady outside. The lady said that she lived in a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home.Mrs. Jones invited her in. I hope youll excuse us for all this mess (杂乱), said Mrs. Jones, We are trying.Oh, thats quite all right, said the lady. Do you know, in some parts of this town, neighbors are not at all friendly? There are some streetsand even some buildingswhere people dont know their neighborsnot even their next-door ones. But in this building, everyone is a friend with everybody else. We are one big, happy family. Im sure youll be happy here.The lady was greatly surprised when she visited the same flat the next time, because she found that a different man and a woman had moved in. On the ladys first visit, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had not the heart to tell her they were not the new owners of the flat, but the old owners, who had lived beside her for two years. All this time she had never visited or even noticed Mr. and Mrs. Jones, her next-door neighbors.26.Someone knocked at the door when Mr. and Mrs. Jones were _.A. cleaning their houseB. counting (数) their luggageC. moving their furnitureD. writing their shopping list27.This writer of this passage suggests that the middle-aged lady _.A. lives in a big happy familyB. lives aloneC. does not do what she saysD. is a bothersome neighbor28.According to the middle-aged lady, in some parts of the town, people _.A. had big, happy familiesB. had small, unhappy familiesC. didnt know their neighborsD. didnt like their neighbors29.From the passage, we know _.A. the middle-aged lady was warm-heartedB. the middle-aged lady had been living in the building for two yearsC. Mr. and Mrs. Jones told the middle-aged lady the truthD. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the middle-aged ladys old neighbors30.What is the tone (语气) of the writer in the passage?A. Happy.B. Sad.C.

Critical.Passage 2A boy between the ages of 6 and 14 still admires his mother and has plenty to learn from her.But his interests are changinghe is becoming more interested in what men have to offer. A boy knows he is turning into a man. He has to learn from a man to complete his development.The fathers job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child must depend on other men in places such as school. This is happening more frequently and would not be such a problem if there were more male teachers at primary school for boys to look up to.Children need a lot of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, getting their help, learning how to do things, and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father. Its enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do little things, like playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, working on hobbies, or playing sports together for enjoyment. This is the time when good memories are created that will be healthy for the son, as well as for the father, for years to come.Although every boy is different, its common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative (好争论的), restless, and moody (闹情绪). Its not that they are turning badjust that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all we offer those in their middle teens is more of the same, that being more school. So its little wonder that problems arise. But if parents, and fathers in particular, pay close attention to their sons, fewer problems will arise.31.According to the passage a boy needs the help of _ to develop well.A. his mother onlyB. his father onlyC. neither his mother nor his fatherD. both his mother and father32.One problem for a boys development is that _.A. there are few men teaching in primary schoolsB. there are few women teaching in primary schoolsC. the boys interests are changingD. the boy wants to act as a man33.A good time for a father to have an influence on his son is _.A. when the boy is 14B. when the boy is at primary schoolC. from about age 6 to the 14th birthdayD. from when the boy was born34.By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means _.A. they are turning badB. they are turning goodC. they are being born into new selvesD. they are rebelling against their parents35.The main idea of this passage is that _.A. fathers play a large role in raising boysB. mothers should feel comfortable when their sons interests are changing.C. without fathers mothers can raise good menD. fathers should stay with their sons as much as possiblePassage 3The AIDS virus is carried in a persons body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It can also be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for, or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss, and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away, and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the bodys defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.36.The AIDS virus can spread _.A. only from a man to womanB. among those who share drug instrumentsC. by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD. by touching an AIDS patient37.It is wrongly thought that _.A. the AIDS virus can be passed during sex B. the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC. the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected blood D. one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease38.The warning signs of being infected with AIDS do not include _.A. weight loss B. uncontrolled expulsion of body wastesC. the appearance of red areas of skinD. a body temperature lower than a normal one39.If a person is worried that he might have AIDS, he should go to _.A. a government officeB. a defense systemC. an antibody production centerD. a doctor or health center40._ can show if one has AIDS.A.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, Good morning! What are you doing?The young man paused, looking up and replied, Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.Well then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I dont throw them in theyll die.But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You cant possibly make a difference!The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, It made a difference for that one.There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.41.Before he began writing, the wise man would _.A. take a walk along the shoreB. go swimming in the oceanC. have a walk and pick up starfish on the beachD. look down the beach and enjoy the scene42.One day, the wise man saw a young man _.A. dancing along the beachB. walking along the beachC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfish as possible43.Near the end of the passage, something very special refers to _.A. the ability to make decisionsB. natural abilitiesC. starfish that the young man threw back to the oceanD. our ability to have an effect on the future44.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.
