school and his mother worked in a shop. they lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. his sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). after he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.one day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. he was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. one of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. he said to the nurse, “im a poor man, madam. arrange a third-class ward(三等病房) for me, please.”“cant anybody help you?”“no, madam,” “answered dick. “i have only a sister. shes a nun and shes poor, too.”“i dont think so, ” the nurse said angrily. “nuns usually marry god. and god is the richest in the world, you know!”“well, then,” dick said with a smile. “please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law.”36.

question: the chicken or the egg, which came first? usually, juicers remove the juice and some pulp (果肉) from fruits and/or vegetables. it takes a lot of fruit to make a container of juice. we do get all of the vitamins, minerals, beneficial plant chemicals and carbohydrates in juice out of a whole fruit. but we do not get much of the fiber, the part that aids our digestive process, fills us up, and may help protect us against heart diseases and certain cancers. however, you may be surprised to discover that some juices actually contain more necessary nutrients (营养). for example, apples are not a good source of vitamin c, but many types of apple juice are fortified with vitamin c. juice has more calories than fresh fruit due to added sugar and less fiber. if calories are your primary concern, choose fresh fruit over juice and drink water if you are thirsty. we do not feel as filled up from juice because it does not contain any fiber. for many people, drinking a caloric beverage (饮料), such as juice, is not as satisfying as eating the same amount of calories in food. for those of us who need to increase caloric intake (such as athletes, children, or teens) juice is a great choice. kids love the taste of pure fruit juice, and parents love it because it is a healthy source of nutrients. but avoid junk fruit beverages which are mistaken for juice blends that contain various fruits like grape, apple and pear. these juices do not have the natural levels of vital nutrients that 100 percent pure juices like orange juice provide. 39. according to the passage, youd better have _ to help prevent heart disease.a. fruitb. juicec. calories d. minerals40. what can we learn from this passage?a. we can get out of fruit all the nutrients which aid our digestive process. b. we can hardly determine which provides more nutrients, juice or fruit.c. people may prefer juice to food in taking in the same amount of calories. d. if you want more calories, fruit might be your better choice.41. the underlined word “blends” in paragraph5 probably means “_”. a. containersb. productsc. mixtures d. substitutes42. the author writes the passage mainly _. a. to help people learn more about fruit and juice b. to call on people to drink more juicec. to remind people of negative effects of juiced. to persuade people to avoid junk juice containing various fruits cbefore alaska became part of the u.s., it had been owned by russia. trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast. the rest of land was left unexplored. the russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.by the mid-1800s, most of the seal herds had been wiped out, and russia no longer wanted to keep alaska. william seward, secretary of state for president johnson, believed the united states should buy alaska from russia. president johnson wasnt so sure it was a wise way to spend u.s. money, but he agreed to let seward discuss it with the russians. acting quickly, seward made a deal. on march 30, 1867, he signed an agreement for the u.s. to pay seven million dollars for the land.many people thought it was a foolish waste of americas money. they called the deal “sewards folly”. then gold was discovered in alaska and public opinion changed quickly.seward did not live to see the true value of alaska. he died in 1872, five years after making the purchase (购买). each year, alaskas natural resources have brought in many times the $7,000,000 paid for it. natural gas, coal, oil, lumber, seafood and other minerals, besides the gold first found, have made it a valuable addition to the united states. in 1959, alaska became the 49th state of the united states. 43. the russians wanted to sell alaska because _.a.they thought it wasnt a good place b.they couldnt find enough seals there c.they thought it didnt belong to russia d.they wanted to earn more money from the u.s.44. when seward signed the agreement, many people thought _.a. it was a successful deal b. it had its true valuec. he wasted u.s. money d. he was clever 45. which of the following things was found first in alaska? a. gas. b. coal. c. gold. d. oil. 46. before 1959, the united states had _.a. 37 states b. 48 states c. 49 states d. 50 states d many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. but they think that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well as their friends do. in large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. this communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.however, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. the question of “choice” is an interesting one. have you ever thought of the following questions?who chooses your friends?do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?have you got a good friend your parents dont like? when children and their parents dont agree with each other, the conflict appears. the children think they are being watched all the time and they dont have enough freedom. they may become angry and even shout back when arguing with their parents. on the other hand, the parents feel sad and surprised why their children sometimes be rude to them, for they think they have done everything right. in this case, both parents and children should control themselves, and try to think in the other way. you can find a chance and tell the other what you think of. its also a good way to find someone else to help them. spend more time with the other and find some activities that both are interested in, then things may turn better.47. many teenagers think their_ know them better than their parents do.a. teachers b. friendsc. brothers and sistersd. classmates48. when teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to_.a. go to their friends b. talk with their parentsc. talk with their friends on the phone d. have a discussion with their

everything they like.c. teenagers can only go to their friends for help.d. parents and children should try their best to understand each other 第三部分：任务型阅读

week, and when asked to use three words to describe societys rich, the top responses were extravagant, greedy and corrupt.about 57 percent of those polled said that extravagant was the best word to

responsible.around 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being smart.nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the poor but were unwilling to take action and actually do something for them.the survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist mao yushi, who said he was speaking for the rich and working for the poor.a report released by the asian development bank last wednesday revealed that chinas gini coefficient（基尼系数） - an indicator of the wealth divide - rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.an earlier cass report said that the richest 10 percent of chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share
