system for students who want to study in the usa and other english-speaking countries, xinhua news agency reported from new york. the exam, which means a great change from the current english level test, was introduced by theresa jen, associate director of the international service of the usa college board, americas leading educational organization. the advanced placement international english language （apiel） will be offered for the first time all over the world on may 10, 2012, said jen. however, the apiel is a strange title to most chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity(相似点) of other already existing exams, such as the toefl （test of english as a foreign language）, the gre （graduate record examination）, or the ielts （international english language testing system）. i have never heard of such a test and i would prefer the ielts if i need another exam, said xu jingyan, a graduating student from beijing university, who wants to study in england and has already taken the toefl. most of xus classmates have never heard of the apiel. the apiel is made for international students who wish to get university studies in english-speaking countries, including the united states, britain, canada and australia. jen said. the apiel will be used, said jen, because the toefl can no longer perfectly show the students abilities of using english. xinhua reported that a large number of foreign students who had high scores in toefl exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after being admitted. compared with the toefl, the apiel measures a students ability to read, write, speak and understand english through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with fluency, and writing in an organized way. jen said. 66. the underlined word current in the second paragraph means . a. highb. presentc. lowd. formal67. we can learn from the passage that . a. the toefl is more popular with the chinese than the ieltsb. it will take quite a period of time for people to accept the apielc. chinese students will prefer the ielts rather than the apiel even in the futured. a student will have to take the apiel if he/ she wants to study in english-speaking countries from 201268. the apiel is designed for students who want to study in english-speaking countries, such as . a. the united states and canadab. canada and irelandc. australia and indiad. britain and france69. according to the passage, the united states will introduce a new exam because . a. it will bring the us government quite a lot of moneyb. more and more students want to get further education in the usac. the existing exam systems can no longer perfectly show the students abilitiesd. the chinese pay special attention to english studies with chinas entry into the wto70. which of the following would be the best title for this passage?a. a new exam designed for studentsb. the four skills in learning englishc. the key to english-speaking countriesd. toefl, ielts and gre to be out of datedsome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. my mother was one of those people. my father died when i was one-year-old. while i was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. each night, she seated me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it. at fourteen, i was hit by a car and the doctors said that i would never walk again. every night my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, i could walk again if i wanted to. she drove that message so deep into my heart that i finally believed her. a year later, i walked on my own to school!when the great depression broke out, my mother lost her job. then i left school to support the two of us. at that moment i decided never to be poor again. over the years, i experienced a lot of business success. but the real turning point happened on a vacation i took with my wife and five kids in 1951. i was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. that was too expensive for an ordinary american family. i told my wife that i was going to open a motel （汽车旅馆）for families that would never charge extra money for children. many people did not believe me at that time. not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. as in any business, i experienced a lot of difficulties. but with my moms words in my heart, i never doubted i would succeed. fifteen years later, i had the largest hotel system in the worldholiday inn. in 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $l billion a year. you may not have started out life in the best situations. but if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 71. what kemmons mother often told him during his childhood was_. a. caring b. movingc. encouragingd. interesting72. who played the most important role in making the author walk back to school
