She was covered by a destroyed house. Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins，the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势). It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头)，but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using various tools，but no reply inside.Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back，calling “Come here.” He came to the body，put his hands under the woman，feeling and touching，then shouted loudly and gladly，“There is someone，a baby，still living.”Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby，who was covered by a small red quilt(棉被). He was about 3 or 4 months old. Since well protected by his mothers body，he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor，along with the rescuing team，took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen；a written message was already there：“My dear baby，if you could live，dont forget how much I love you.” As a doctor，he experienced much of this type of separation；but at this moment，he cried. The mobile phone was passed，and every person who saw this message shed (流出)tears.56. When the rescuers found the mom，she.A. was using her mobile phone to ask for helpB. begged the rescuers to save her baby firstC. was struggling with the pressureD. didnt have the normal shape57. The underlined word “confirmed” in Paragraph 2 may mean.A. proved B. inferred C. guessed D. imagined58. When the baby was rescued, he.A. was smiling a lot B. was fast asleepC. was listening carefully D. was frightened to deathBTen 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 didnt earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasnt 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 didnt have any time for things like that any more. Theres a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps thats 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 couldnt believe it. Luckily it wasnt 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 havent 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 wont earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just dont know what I should do. What do you think? 60. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?A. His job. B. His pay. C. His means of transport. D. His health.61.

Its 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 Shanxis 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”.64. 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.65.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingyao was a leading center in _.A. agriculture B. raising cattleC. commercial trade D. making gold coinsDI had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toasts. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids too. But at least I wasnt alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mother as I did.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash the dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.Through the years, things didnt improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par. Our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? Youre right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the whole world.67.
