The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery （火红的） ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “Its getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” . She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. It all seemed deserted. She couldnt understand what was going on.She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadnt slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different. she wasnt in her mothers room and she wasnt wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas （睡衣）. It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.” 51. Three days later Jennifer came back home _. A. at sunrise B. at sunset C. at nightD. at midday 52. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 most probably means “_”. A. The idea of going back home. B. Her anxiety about her parents. C.

A. he was busy looking for her B. he had to look after his wife C. he was not strict with his job D. he no longer enjoyed working in the garden 54. What can we infer from this passage? A.

Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was safest for her. BAlthough we already know a great deal about flu, and although the World Health Organizations is constantly collecting detailed information from its chain of flu reference laboratories throughout the world, it is extremely difficult for epidemiologists, who study infectious diseases, to predict when and where the next flu epidemic will occur, and how serious it will be. There are three kinds of flu virus, known as A, B and C. flu C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies （抗体） which can be changed into immunity to that type of virus but a virus with the ability to change its character is able to bypass this protection. Variability（可变性） is less developed in the flu B virus, which affects only human beings. As flu B virus may cause a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The flu A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease, such as the world epidemic, of 1918&1919, when about half the worlds population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from pneumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complication caused by bacteria. Accurate prediction is difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it will spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence （病毒性）, the ease with which it can be transmitted and the strength of the opposition it encounters （遇到）. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation. 55. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Symptoms of FluB. Man Vs Flu Virus C. WHO: The Major Organization against Flu VirusD. Variability of Flu Virus 56. What does the author say about the flu B virus? A. B Virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. B. B Virus is unstable, and is responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. C. B virus is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease. D. B virus has a very developed variability, and it affects only human beings. 57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the extent to which a virus spreads?A. The strength of the virus. B. The ease with which the virus can be transmitted. C. The strength of the opposition.D. The immunity the virus can bring about. 58. This article is quite probably _.A. a piece of news B. a special science reportC. an introduction to a book D. a scientific fiction C Educating girls quite possibly brings in a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women education may be an unusual field for economists, but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived（被剥夺） of an education. Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to schoolthe prophecy （预言） becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a bad circle of neglect. An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The bad circle is thus transformed into a good one. Few will question that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant effect on health practices, including family planning. 59. By saying “the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling.” in Paragraph 2, the author means that _.A. girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysB. girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsC. girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachD. girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home 60. The author believes that a bad circle can turn into a good circle when _.A. women care more about educationB. girls can gain equal access to educationC. a family has fewer but healthier childrenD. parents can afford their daughters education61. What does the author say about women s education?A. It deserves greater attention than other social issues.B. It is now given attention before anything else in many developing countries.C. It will bring in greater returns than other known investments.D. It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.62. The passage mainly discusses_.A. unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB. the potential earning power of well-educated womenC. the major contributions of educated women to societyD. the economic and social benefits of educating womenD A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyones reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they dont go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyones doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answerjust because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better. 63. What is the best title for this passage? A. Peers have a good effectB. Children give in to peer pressureC. Peer pressure is hard to resistD. Peer pressure64. The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. do some shoppingB. carry goods for shops C. steal in shopsD. take the lift upstairs in shops65. The writer will NOT agree that _. A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressureB. peers have an effect on one anotherC. Peer pressure can be got rid ofD. Peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them 66. By writing the passage the writer intends to _.A. tell people to follow others opinionsB. warn people to stay away from their peersC. tell it is hard to walk away from pressureD. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure EYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist（遗传学家）who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didnt let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach（巴赫）. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As auth
