st.louis piano company. we sold our pianos all over the state by advertising in small town newspapers and then, when we had received sufficient replies, we would load our little trucks, and drive into the area and sell the pianos to those who had replied. every time we would advertise in the cotton country of southeast missouri, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said, “please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. it must be red mahogany(红木). i can pay $10 a month with my egg money.” the old lady had scrawled on and on until she filled up the postcard, then turned it over and even wrote on the front-around and around the edges until she filled up there was barely room for the address. no finance company would carry a contract with payments that small, so we ignored her postcards. one day, however, i happened to be in that area calling on other replies, and out of curiosity i decided to look the old lady up. i found pretty much what i expected: the old lady lived in a one-room sharecroppers cabin in the middle of a cotton field.the cabin had a dirt floor and there were chickens in the house. obviously, the old lady could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit- no car, no phone, no real job, nothing but a roof over her head and not a very good one . i could see daylight through it in several places. her little granddaughter was about 10, barefoot and wearing a feedsack dress. 56. according to the passage, the writer a. was told to visit the old lady b. was asked to pay a visit by the old ladyc. got to that area by accident d. had a close friend in that area57. the underlined word “scrawled” in the second paragraph means .a. cried b. beggedc. written d. called58. after the writer explained to her, the old lady .a. accepted the writers advice b. didnt listen to the writerc. reported the writer to the boss d. told her granddaughter to write postcards59. what do you expect to be continued?a. the writer helped the old lady.b. the old lady gave up writing postcards.c. the local government tried to help.d. the writer lost his business.b tens of thousands of south africans have joined dozens of world leaders for the national memorial service for former president nelson mandela. the service was held in front of a noisy crowd in the fnb stadium in johannesburg.us president barack obama said mr mandela was a giant of history, describing him as the last great liberator of the 20th century.the former south african president died last thursday, aged 95.the country is observing a series of commemorations（纪念） leading up to the funeral on sunday. the memorial service, which began at about 12:00 (10:00 gmt), lasted about four hours. it was one of the biggest gatherings of international dignitaries（高层） in recent years, with more than 100 current（现任的） or former heads of state or government attending.there had been fears people would be turned away. but with heavy rain, security and transport issues, and the fact that tuesday was not declared a national holiday, areas of the 95,000-capacity stadium remained empty. introducing the proceedings, the master of ceremonies, cyril ramaphosa, said that mr mandelas long walk is over. and he can finally rest.current south african president jacob zuma made the keynote address but was booed （喝倒彩）in some parts of the ceremony. he said mr mandela was one of a kind. a fearless freedom fighter who refused to allow the cruelty of the apartheid（种族隔离） state to stand in way of the struggle for the liberation of his people. mr zuma announced he was renaming the union buildings in pretoria, where mr mandela will lie , as the mandela amphitheatre.earlier mr obama delivered his address, carried on the white house web site, to huge cheers. he said: it is hard to eulogise（颂扬） any man. how much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation towards justice. he said nelson mandela had taught the world the power of action and the power of ideas, and that it had taken a man like mr mandela to free not only the prisoner but also the jailer.60. why was the memorial service said to be one of the biggest gatherings of international dignities in recent years? .a.

out as an exception. his art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the united states. he was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit（追求） of beauty.the common theme of huangs many works lies in the combination of traditional chinese elements and western painting techniques. i apply chinese calligraphy（书法）, paper cutting, facial makeup of peking opera - all the things that i can find in traditional chinese culture - to western oil painting, huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of montgomery, maryland in the us, where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work.one of huangs works in the show, which had been featured on the exhibitions flier（广告传单）, served as a good example. titled in harmony, the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate - a characteristic of chinese tradition. huang decorated the surface with the words peace and dragon, both in chinese and in english. michele cohen, director of the betty mae kramer gallery, pointing to huangs in harmony, says: i think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another, and it really comes out in a mixed form. in 1998, american composer silas huff met huang at an exhibition and was moved by huangs sketch tapestry of dreams, which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of huangs people.inspired by the work, huff composed a 25-minute symphony（交响乐）, spring song festival, made up of chinese folk melodies. ten years later when huff and huang reconnected, huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony. the work was performed at laguardia performing art center in new york in the spring of 2009, with huangs tapestry of dreams as a background.64. what is the theme of huangs many works?a. the combination of traditional chinese elements and western painting techniques.b. the difference between traditional chinese elements and western painting techniques.c. the advantages of traditional chinese elements and western painting techniques.d. the disadvantages of traditional chinese elements and western painting techniques.65. we can infer _.a. huff composed a 25-minute symphony, spring song festival after he arrived in china.b. huff composed a 25-minute symphony, spring song festival because he graduated in china.c. huff composed a 25-minute symphony, spring song festival, because of huangs work.d. huff composed a 25-minute symphony, spring song festival because of money.66. which is the best title of the passage?a. a pursuit of beautyb. the life of an artistc. true friendsd. the differences of art67. michele cohen, director of the betty mae kramer gallery, _. a. thinks highly of huangs in harmony. b. pays no attention to huangs in harmony. c. wants to buy huangs in harmony. d. criticizes huangs in harmony. dus scientists have performed an important reversal（逆转） of the ageing process in animal studies. they used a chemical to rejuvenate（使年轻） muscle in mice and said it was the equivalent（等同于） of transforming a 60-year-olds muscle to that of a 20-year-old but muscle strength did not improve. their study, in the journal cell, identified an entirely new mechanism（原理） of ageing and then reversed it. other researchers said it was an exciting finding.ageing is considered a one-way street, but now researchers at harvard medical school have shown that some aspects can be reversed. their research focused on a chemical called nad. its levels naturally drop in all cells of the body with age. the team showed this damaged the function of the cells in-built power-stations, leading to lower energy production and ageing.experiments showed that increasing nad level
