We lived on a farmstead, in the winter especially, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma（哮喘）, and at times the air is so dirty that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.55. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.56. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.57. In the passage, the writer tries to _. A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city58. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.CWhere we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out there.”We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very ill, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that life it still had might be pecked（啄）out by those great swan beaks.Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved (卷曲，弯曲) down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the gooses head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question: “ If so for birds, why not for man?”59. What happened to the Canada goose?A. It was deserted by other geese. B. It was stuck in the ice. C. It was wounded and couldnt fly. D. It was lost in the water.60. At first the authors friend was worried that _. A. the swans would not help the Canada goose B. the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose C. the Canada goose wouldnt identify with the swans D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death61. What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldnt fly? A. They chipped off the ice held in its feathers. B. They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt. C. They came down and lifted it up to the sky together. D. They stayed with it and protected it.62. What would probably happen to the authors friend in the end? A. She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried. B. She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose. C. She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently. D. She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.DA TV program was being videoed. Tonight it was to select the sweetest whisper of love ever said between husband and wife.The final competition was held among 10 married couples. Seven of them were young ones; two middle-aged and one old. The last turn came to the old couple. The old lady took the microphone and said the sweetest whisper of love she has ever heard was: “Are you standing or sitting?”The host fixed his eyes on her, quite puzzled by her remarks.Regardless of all the talking around, she went on with her story. Her husband has been a doctor before he retired. One day when he was on duty at the hospital, he felt a sharp pain at the heart. By his professional knowledge he knew immediately he suffered a heart attack. His colleagues carried him at once to the operation room and prepared him for a bypass operation, which was highly risky. The patients family members had to be informed before it began. The patient himself was allowed to put in a word. Lying silently on the operation table with a trembling hand, he dialed after a moments thinking the number of his wifes phone. Finally a familiar voice came from the other end“So many years had passed but memory of this incident remained fresh in my mind. What he said in the beginning was: Are you standing or sitting? He was actually worried about me, wondering how I felt at the news. He was afraid I would have fallen flat onto the ground. In such a critical（危急的）state as he was then, his thought still went to me” The old lady concluded slowly, “Thats the sweetest whisper of love Ive ever heard all my life.”A loud applause(掌声) followed in the wake of a short silence.63Why did the audience begin talking after hearing the old womans first sentence? AThey didnt believe what she had said.BThey couldnt hear what she was saying.CThey felt confused by her words.DThey got bored with her story.64What can be inferred from the fact that the old woman had to be informed of the operation?AShe had to accompany his husband.BShe would operate on his husband.CHer husband was working in the hospital.DIt was the hospitals rule to do so.65Why did the old man think for a moment before he called his wife?AHe hesitated to tell her about his condition.BHe was mindful of her wifes safety.CHe wanted to delay being operated on.DHe was too nervous to think up his words.第二节 （共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短
