Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life. One late night , he suffered from diarrhea (腹泻) and had to wake up his younger brother . His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him . As the two brothers grew up together , they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.

At school , she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant(自力更生的). Once she wrote the following in her composition: “I am lucky . Though I lost my arms, I still have legs . Though my wings are broken , my heart can still fly .”How you handle misfortune is the true test of your character.

The Greatest Happiness!C When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.64. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _.A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother 65. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.66. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.67. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it. DAbout 97% of the worlds water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we cant drink seawater, how can it be important? Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is! Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced. The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didnt matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop. Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is! 68. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _. A. wouldnt harm the fish in the sea B. would change the balance of the food chain C. would be broken down in the sea D. wouldnt do much harm to the sea69. From the passage, we learn that _. A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain C. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock D. it wont be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved70. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans? A. The use of international agreements. B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks. C. The use of new techniques. D. Raising peoples awareness of the need to protect oceans.71. What would be the best title of the passage? A. The importance of seawater. B. Life in the oceans. C. How to protect food chains. D. How to deal with seawater pollution.第四部分 第一节用所给的短语填空（将短语对应的字母写在答题卷上,其中2项是多余的。共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）A. fit in well with ; B. upside down ; C. day in and day out ; D.are dying to ; E. cut out F.was annoyed with ; G. . settled in ; H. out of the question ; I. set aside ;J. came across ;72.
