After a week I went to take them back. Four months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took out a pair of shoes. I hadnt worn them since they were mended. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. But I felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were nearly the same style (式样), colour and size, but each was for the right foot. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldnt remember me after such a long time, I called him. Thank goodness you called me at last! He said happily. An angry woman has been troubling me for months!56. How many pairs of shoes did the woman take to the shoemaker to be mended?A. One shoe. B.

The sun makes the earth hot but it can not make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When it moves in, you feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists can not answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks (断裂). Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean?” The ocean does not get more salty every year. Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we dont have and we are curious about.60. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. people feel cool when they are near a lake or an oceanB. scientists can explain many things, but not everythingC. scientists can explain everything about the oceanD. the salt in the ocean comes from rocks 61. Now scientists know _.A. what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summerB. everything about the oceanC. what happens to the salt in the oceanD. why the ocean does not get more and more salty 62.

Calgary Transport MuseumDRecently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what PK meant. My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what PK meant, but I had no idea, explained the puzzled father. To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking. Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didnt understand. “My GG came back this summer from college. He told me Ive grown up to be a PLMM. I loved to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM,” went one composition. “GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao! 68. By writing the article, the writer tries to _ . A. explain some Internet language B. suggest common Internet language C. laugh at the Beijing father D. draw our attention to Internet language 69. What does the writer think about the term PK? A. Fathers cant possibly know it. B. The daughter should understand it. C. Online game players may know it. D. “Super Girl” shouldnt have used it. 70. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons_. A. are used not only online B. can be understood very well C. are welcomed by all the people D. cause trouble to our mother tongue 71. The underlined word “jargons” means “_” in Chinese. A. 行话 B. 粗口 C. 歌词 D. 趋势 72. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A puzzled father B. Do you speak Internet language? C. Keep away from Internet language D. Kong Long or Qing Wa? EDavid Beckham was born in 1975, in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charhon Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for the schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee (受训练的人) with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995, he played his first football league game against Leeds United. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line. Seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham sent the ball over the goalkeep
