the great depression was at its height, and grandpa had six children. he had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning. “its not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “ive been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.” several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the united states. he wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfathers small church in chicago. he began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “but most of all, he said,” i must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. you see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. i was desperate. even if i had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. along with not being able to see well, i experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and i were very worried about this. then your crates arrived. when i removed the covers, i found a pair of glasses lying on top.” he paused long enough to let his words sink in. then, he continued: “when i tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! i want to thank you for being a part of that!” the people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. but they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go. 61. we know from the text that . a. the authors grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanage b. the authors grandfather found that his glasses were at home at last c. the authors grandfathers burden of supporting his family was very heavy d. the authors grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in chicago 62. from the text we can infer that the authors grandfather was very after hearing what the director of the orphanage had said. a. surprisedb. disappointedc. pitifuld. proud 63. the underlined word “miraculous”（paragraph 7）can be replaced by . a. practicalb. wonderfulc. necessaryd. important 64. what would be the best title for the text? a. the perfect mistake b. an ordinary carpenter c. a careless old man d. a pair of glasses banyone who reads a book and then goes to see a movie based on that book generally leaves the movie feeling a little disappointed. why might this be? both books and movies serve the purpose of entertainment. both books and movies offer characters and plots. and, both books and movies provide a setting for a story. books, however, offer a more attractive and complex form of entertainment than movies. although movies are entertaining to watch, books have advantages over them. first, books, in comparison to movies, can more easily seize the depths of characters and create a complex setting through the use of rich description. books leave it up to the reader to interpret, imagine, and recreate the story in his or her own mind. however, movies are actionpacked and provide lots of visual stimuli（视觉刺激）, still, it is the movie not the viewer that interprets the characters, plot and setting. second, books are not limited to time. a writer can write as much or as little as necessary in order to create and tell a story. movies, on the other hand, are limited to an hour and a half to two hours of entertaining time before the audience begins to get restless. last, reading is an intellectual form of entertainment. readers can improve their level of reading and vocabulary in a harmless, healthy, and pleasurable way. movies, on the other hand, are not as complex and entertaining as books, and they leave nothing to interpret. therefore, the advantages and entertainment value of books outweigh（胜过）those of a movie.to conclude, books, through interpretation, help the reader develop a sense of relationship to the characters and the story itself, but a movie strictly entertains. books are a better form of entertainment than movies.65. according to the author, _. a. movies often make people disappointed b. more and more people prefer books to movies c. books have many advantages over movies d. both books and movies strictly entertain66. the underlined word “intellectual” in the second paragraph may relate to _. a. training b. learning c. translation d. memory67. we learn from the text that _.a. movies can easily seize the depths of charactersb. books provide more visual stimuli than movies c. books leave readers nothing to interpret and imagine d. movies are usually time limited compared with books68. which of following would be the best title for the text? a. movies: easy form of entertainment b. books: better form of entertainmentc. how to produce movies based on books d. why are we disappointed at movies c dear editor,brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. the problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. by banning (禁止) all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.these people forget that when they were young, they could go to the south street soda fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. today you cant find an ice-cream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2! where can kids go for a snack?there is not a single restaurant in brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. have you noticed that brockingham families never dine in brockingham?fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.the city council claims that local businessmen, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. i agree that it is important to support local businesses, but i think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in brockingham.another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. if i need a tire for my bike, i have a choice of buying one at surf and peddle sport shop for $15 or driving to parkersburg discount center where i can buy the same kind of tire for $9. again, i think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city. wes woodrow 9th-grade student at brockingham high school69. why does wes woodrow write this letter to the editor?a.because the government bans all fast-food restaurants and discount stores in brockingham.b.because the writer cant find an ice-cream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2.c.because a family of four cant find a restaurant in brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.d.because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.70. from the letter we can infer that _.a.the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda b.the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurantsc. the governments ban benefits local businessmen muchd.discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%71. the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means _.a. cheap, not expensiveb. surprising, not expectedc. harmful, not helpful d. doubtful, not sure72. one way the writer of this letter tries to convince the reader is by _.a.complaining that someone has to drive him to parkersburgb.getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himselfc.suggesting that many businessmen have the same opiniond.giving specific examples of the high costs in brockinghamdboys need friends, suffer when they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relat
