He went to India and China. One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them to a tea party. When her friends came to the tea party, the old woman offered (给) them brown tea-leaves (茶叶). The old womans friends began to eat them. Of course, nobody liked the tea-leaves.At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and said, Mother，what have you done with the tea?I boiled (煮) it，as you said.And what did you do with the water?I threw it away，of course. answered the old woman.Now you may throw away the leaves，too， said her son.71.Most of the people in Europe _.A. drank tea every day 300 years ago B. drink tea often nowC. know nothing about tea now D. like to eat the tea-leaves72.One day the English sailor brought his mother some tea from _.A. countries in the west B. countries in the south C.

They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way. Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（绳子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight（重量）.It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand. After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the mens basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice. At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose(升) to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London! 76.

But even if a person has already got plenty of money, money doesnt mean happiness.If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? Im afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship cant be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel（争吵）, marriage（婚姻）to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.81从文中找出与下句意义相近的句子。 It seems that a lot of people want money very much now. 82根据短文内容回答问题。 What are probably the most important things to everyone? 83. 将黑体字部分的句子变成疑问句。（一般疑问句、特殊疑问句皆可）_.84将文中划线句子翻译成汉语。 85根据短文内容，写出文章的标题。（10词以内） 五连词成句（5分）86. pen, I, didnt, stand, bought, the, work, I, cant, that_.87. keeping, would, you, voice, down, mind, your_?88.Tim, since, has, swimming, been, ago, an, hour_.89. clean, if, it, tomorrow, we, will, doesnt, rain, yard, the_.90. he, would, the, globe, glass, in, with, flowers, it, like_?六、书面表达(10分) 假如你是Mike, 请根据表格提供的信息，给John写一封信，把老师在期末考试中对你的学习评价介绍给你的朋友，文章开头和结尾已给出。TeachersWhat they saidMathHard-workingChineseGood at writingEnglishDo well in listeningPhysicsCa
