With 24,000yuan, Mr. Green can rent the house for _. A. 2 years B. one year C. 10 months D. 13 months B Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. There was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window. It really looks terrible.” One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Later in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见 ). Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评 ) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判 ) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. 61. The writer couldnt see everything clearly through the window because _. A. the womans window was dirty B. the writers window was dirty C. the woman lived nearby D. the writer was near-sighted 62. The writer was surprised that _. A. the woman was sitting by her window B. the womans window was still terrible C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon D. the womans window was clean 63. “It dawned on me” probably means “_”. A. I began to understand it B. it cheered me up C. I knew it grew light D. it began to get dark 64. Its clear that _. A. the writer had never met the woman before B. the writer often washed the window C. they both worked as cleaners D. they lived in a small town 65. From the passage, we can learn _. A. one shouldnt criticize others very often B. one should often make his windows clean C. one must judge himself before he judges others D. one must look at others through his dirty windows. C Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school. The test was the final for a course. I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tell by the groans that the scores werent looking good. Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55! I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The scores were not very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.” A 55. Thats me! Suddenly my sad look didnt look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better. I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did you do in your test?” “I made a 55,” I said. A frown（皱眉） now stood on my fathers face. I knew I had to explain immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You failed!” my father replied. “But its the highest!” I insisted. “I dont care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said. For years, my father was always that way. It didnt matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently. We often dont understand the wisdom（智慧） of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents shoes. My fathers words have carried me throughout life. 66. The word groaning is the closest in meaning to _. A. singing B. laughing C. complaining D. quarreling 67. In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I _. A. lowered my head B. covered my score up C. walked home alone D. explained immediately 68. A frown stood on my fathers face because he thought _. A. I did a bad job in the test B. I gave a good excuse C. I became the worst student D. I stood in his shoes 69. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the father was strict with his child. B. the writer was always poor in tests. C. Mr. Right was worried about the writer D. the writer was always happy with his scores 70. Which is the best title of the passage？ A. The Final Test B. Thats Me! C. My strict Teacher D. Scores, Important？ 第二卷（非选择题，共 35 分） 五、词与短语填空（本题共 10 分，每小题 2 分） 先阅读短文，然 后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使全文在逻辑上正确。（提示：选项中有一个是多余的。） a lot of time, chat with, go to bed, used to, get on well with, eat dinner My biggest problem My biggest problem is that Im too busy.
