After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “That doesnt matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. Its how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open Ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories Ive stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what youve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108. 56. We can infer from the passage that the author_.A. is one of Mrs. Jones children B. is a relative of Mrs. JonesC. works in the nursing home D. is the owner of the nursing home57. The room in which the old lady will live_.A. is very comfortable B. is fairly bigC. isnt well equipped D. is equipped with new furniture58.

If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market. The market may be something abstract (抽象的). But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it wont be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesnt want you to do. 60. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Selling and Buying. B. Everything you do is producing for the market. C. What is the market? D. What the market can do for you. 61. All of the following acts are producing for the market except_. A. working in a bank B. volunteering at a nursing homeC. driving a taxi D. growing beans for sale62. You are buying from the market when you_. A. borrow a book from the library B. drive to the seaside for a holidayC. look after your children D. dine at restaurant63. The word “concrete” in the last paragraph may most probably mean_. A. serious B. importantC. necessary D. realCRobert Frost was at heart a mean-spirited human being, not the kind of man one would expect to write poetry. He was born in San Francisco. Frost entered Dartmouth University in 1893, but dropped out, and switched to Harvard, which he attended for two years. He started a brief teaching career, where he was inspired to become a poet by some of his students work. Frost stopped teaching and became a farmer. During this time he wrote numerous poems, and a couple of short stories. While he was a farmer he started to think seriously about becoming a famous poet. In almost all of his poems, Frost wrote in the first person. The first widely-read poem that he published was called My Butterfly. At first his audience was very small, but with his Collected Poems he became famous. Robert Frost received almost all the awards that there were for poetry. His poetry describes the forces of nature, and the violence and deep emotional(情感的) needs of human beings, which reflect the experiences of his childhood. Robert Frost will always be known as one of the best poets in history. His way of putting emotion and violence into words is remarkable(非同寻常的). His talent for poetry is natural-born and he had discovered this when he started to farm. Even though he treated his wife and children terribly, he still became one of the best-known poets of his and our day.64. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Robert Frost had been a famous writer before he started teachingB. Robert Frost wrote his poems mostly in the first personC. Robert Frost was very famous at the beginning of his writing careerD. Robert Frost began to write poems when he was a teacher65. According to the passage, Robert Frost was famous for _.A. his teaching career B. his life experiences C. showing strong feeling in his poems D. his interest in poems 66. The last paragraph of the passage mainly tells us _.A. why Robert Frost stopped farmingB. why Robert Frost was so famous C. about his masterpieces(杰作) D. about the way he treated his wife and children67. From the passage we know that _.A. Robert Frosts most famous poem is My Butterfly B. Robert Frost began to write when he was in collegeC. Robert Frost gave up studying at Dartmouth UniversityD. his poetry showed the violence of war and his childhood DMany people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (毁灭性的).A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “Weve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzback says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or a bit higher. The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September and October.68. According to the text, hurricanes usually _. A. form off the coast of Africa and America B. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn C. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea D. strike the US but cause no damage69. The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “_ .” A. begins to move B. gets lost C. becomes hot D. changes into a gas70. Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order? a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air. b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase. c. The vapor cools. d. The ocean water is warm enough. e. The vapor changes back into liquid. f. This course gives out heat. A. a, d, e, b, c, f B. a, b, c, f, d, e C. d, a, c, e, f, b D. d, a, b, c, e, f第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：涂卡时，如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项，请按如下方式填涂：选E涂AB；选F涂AC；选G涂AD。Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 71 . There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still
