阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A★

Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.

There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

56. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now? A. His job.

B. His pay.

D. His health. C. His means of transport.

57. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true? A. He got higher pay. B. His working hours weren’t long.

C. He found it very stressful. D. He had little free time at weekends. 58. After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him _____.

A. not to work any longer B. to take a long vacation abroad C. to stop smoking and take exercise D. not to eat out any more 59. What can we learn about the author? A. The author is not sure what he should do now. B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice.

C. The author has got another new job. D. The author feels much better now. B★★

We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. They hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. For days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the children’s love.

So as I cleaned Dad’s room downstairs before he got home, I began writing notes. Some showed my love. Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”

60. Which of the following did the author NOT do for her father? A. Writing notes. B. Driving her father home.

C. Making phone calls. D. Helping to clean her father’s room.

61. The underlined word “these” (in Paragraph 4) refers to “______”.

A. medicines

C. notes

B. the relatives’ care and help

D. delicious foods 62. The author hid most notes _____. A. in Dad’s room downstairs

B. in the food box C. in the fridge

D. under Dad’s pillow upstairs 63. From the passage we can know the author’s notes couldn’t ______.

A. show her love for Dad

B. make Dad remember something C. make Dad healthier mentally

D. improve Dad’s physical health

This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do

was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.

But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t

feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan

was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together. 64. What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean? A. It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night. B. This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma. C. Bryan would have a good rest that night. D. Bryan would stay with his parents that night. 65. Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?

A. She was too tired to have fun or play games with him. B. She was sick and wanted to have a good rest. C. She was too busy and had to work overtime that night. D. She had to prepare soup for the whole family. 66. How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?

A. 1.

B. 2.

C. 3.

D. 4. 67. From the passage, we can infer that _____. A. Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma B. Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him

C. the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more

D. the author and her grandson loved each other very much D★★

Pingyao, in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage (遗产) site. It’s 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.

People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a county government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including

Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch (分支) banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.

In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.

In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”.

68. What does the underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Historic buildings and sites. B. The three temples. C. The county government seats. D. The 2,700-year history. 69. Which of the following about Pingyao is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Its location.

B. Its tourism.

D. Its history. C. Its business.

70. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingyao was a leading center in _____. A. agriculture

B. raising cattle C. commercial trade

D. making gold coins 71. If you want to know about the history of banking in China, which of the following places should you visit? A. Sunrise Prosperity.

C. A lacquer ware store. D. A commercial house.

Joseph Goldberger was a doctor for the United States Public Health Service. In 1912, he began to study a disease that was killing thousands of people in the South. The disease was pellagra (烟酸缺乏病).

Doctor Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people had pellagra. He studied the victims and their families. Most of the people were poor. The doctor came to believe that the disease was not passed easily from one person to another, but instead had something to do with food.

He received agreement from state officials to test this idea at a prison. Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part. One group of prisoners received their usual food, mostly corn. A second group ate meat, fresh vegetables and milk. Members of the first group developed pellagra. The second group did not.

But some experts refused to accept that a poor food caused pellagra. They thought there were other causes.

So Doctor Goldberger put blood from a person with pellagra into his own body. He even swallowed pills that had blood from pellagra patients. An assistant also took part in the experiments. So did Doctor Goldberger’s wife. None of them got sick. Later, the doctor discovered that a bit of dried brewer’s yeast (酿酒的酵母) each day could prevent pellagra.

Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929. He was 55 years old. Several years later, researchers discovered the true cause of pellagra: having little of the vitamin B. 72. How old was Doctor Goldberger when he began to study pellagra? A. 22.

B. 30.

A. pellagra that had something to do with food B. a kind of yeast that prevented pellagra C. pellagra that was easily passed from one person to another D. a poor food that caused pellagra 74. Which is the right order about what Doctor Goldberger did? a. He did a test on prisoners at a prison.

b. He did the experiments on himself. c. He came to Mississippi to study the victims and their families. d. He found a poor food was easy to cause pellagra. e. He discovered a little dried brewer’s yeast every day could prevent pellagra.

Dear Editor,

I’m a builder. When other builders and I laid a foundation of a building, we dug out some ancient cultural relics. At that time, some people suggested we sell them so that we could get some money. But I didn’t agree with them because I think these cultural relics are our country’s wealth. As Chinese people, we should protect them. So I told the other builders we shouldn’t sell them, because cultural relics represent a country’s culture and history. Besides, we should donate these culture relics to our country in case they might be sold abroad secretly. We shouldn’t lose them.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
