However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time passes quickly.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more. I like the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”51. Margaret gave up her job as a nurse because _.A. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she felt tired of taking care of patientsD. she needed the right time to look after her children52. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _.A. they never clean their offices B. they look down upon cleanersC. they always make a mess in their offices D. they never do their work carefully53. When at work, Margaret feels _.A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers B. happy because she sees much of her husbandC. tired because of the heavy workload D. bored because time passes slowly54. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margarets parents would _. A. help care for her childrenB. regret(后悔) what they had saidC. show sympathy(同情) for herD. feel disappointed in herBPrison Break（越狱）is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.Having committed a crime to get into prison and broke out his innocent elder brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today. But what about the man behind the character?Miller, 35, is a hard guy to figure out. He comes from a special family background and has never lived his life in a typical way.Miller didnt take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree(学位) in theatre or film, but in English. He didnt even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his universitys singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. ” My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end. In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia. He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination(提名) and another season of Prison Break on his resume(履历), Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood. 55. What do you think the text is mainly about?A. What kind of person Michael Scofield is.B. Millers unusual path to fame and fortune.C. Why Prison Break became a huge hit.D. Millers special family background. 56. The author thinks “Miller is a hard guy to figure out” because _.A. its difficult to tell him from others.B. he is a shy man and hard to work with.C. he always has ideas hard for people to understand.D. his family background and life experience are very special.57. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Miller succeeded in the field that he had never got a degree. B. Miller had lots of movie performance experiences when he was in college. C. Millers rich performance experiences in high school made him move to Hollywood.D. Miller was chosen to play a role in Prison Break because he is a thoughtful and shy guy.58. It is very likely(很可能) that Miller will _.A. pay off all his debts in the end.B. not star in another season of Prison Break.C. make greater achievements in his career.D. leave Hollywood and give up the job.CIt is often said that differences between people can be caused by the different times when the people were born. For example, people who were born between March 21 and April 20 are supposed to be active, daring and strong. They like power and enjoy adventures. They think quickly and have strong wills.However, those who were born between April 21 and May 20 are supposed to learn more slowly, but they remember what they learn. They love children, and they usually have many friends.People born between May 21 and June 21 are clever and interesting. They like to talk, and they enjoy wearing fine clothes. Those born between June 22 and July 22, however, think deeply, they would rather hide their feelings than express them.People who were born between July 23 and August 22 are generally proud. They are interested in many subjects, and it is interesting to hear them talk. Those born between August 23 and September 22 are said to be calm and thoughtful. They like to read and often become successful scientists.These are some of the beliefs of astrologers (星相家), who think human differences are caused by the positions of the sun, moon and stars.59.

Whats the main idea of this passage? A. How to decide a persons personality. B. Ones birth time and his personality. C. What causes people to be thoughtful. D. Different people in the world.DOn a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes. Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion. Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护). One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall. Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting “steps” called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water. Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces. There are, of course, some other ways of soil conservation. 63. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _.A. there is no terrace on the slopes B. there is no small plant on the slopesC. it washes away soil from the slopes D. there is too much soil on the slopes64. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _.A. there is a lot of sand B. there is not enough water and salts C. there is no water D. the land is too hard65. How can soil be conserved on flat, open ground?A. by growing small plants such as grasses B. by planting trees around an open field C. by adding fertilizer(肥料) to the soil D. both A and B66. From the passage we learn that there are _ ways to reserve soil. A. only threeB. two C. more than threeD. six第二节 （第二节4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）阅读下列材料，从所给的五个选项中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。Molly信箱是一个报刊栏目，主持人Molly回答读者提出的各种问题。第65至68题是四位读者的来信。请从A、B、C、D和E中为每封来信选出最合适的回复，并把答案写在答题纸上，选项中一项是多余选项。（注意：请将答案涂在答题卡的76-79。）_ 67 Dear Molly,I have a problem.
