When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, I love you. I didnt know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him. My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news. Finally I asked, What was that all about? Nothing, he said. My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It s 42 ” .

After a week I went to take them back. Four months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took out a pair of shoes. I hadnt worn them since they were mended. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. But I felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were nearly the same style (式样), colour and size, but each was for the right foot. Then Ithought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldnt remember me after such a long time, I called him. Thank goodness you called me at last! He said happily. An angry woman has been troubling me for months! 56. How many pairs of shoes did the woman take to the shoemaker to be mended?A. One shoe. B. Two pairs of shoes. C. Only three shoes. D. Some pairs of shoes. 57. Did the woman look at the shoes carefully after they were taken back?A. Yes, she did. B. The story didnt tell us. C. No, but her husband did. D. No, she didnt. 58. Which of the following is right? A. The woman wore the shoes as soon as they were mended. B. Both shoes were the same style, but different colour and size. C. Both shoes were for the right foot. D. The shoemaker called the woman after a long time. BAs we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be boughtwith money. But money is not all powerful. Money cant buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes, but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful. 59. According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy _. A. true friendshipB. real diamondC. a large house D. an expensive car60. Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Money cannot buy time and love.B. Money is not powerful at all.C. Money can buy people material things.D. Money doesnt mean everything.61.Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to _.A. make money B. waste moneyC. save moneyD. worship(崇拜) money62. From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need something _.A. spiritual B. beautiful C. lovely D. useful C The water level of oceans rises and falls alternately twice a day. This movement of water is called the tide. Tides are causer by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth s surface; since the moon is closer, it affects the tides more than the sun. When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it. This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth. As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom. When the water reaches its highest level, we have high tide. And when the water comes to its lowest level, we have low tide from its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches high tide. Then it begins to fall continuously for about six hours until it reaches low tide. Then the cycle begins again. 63. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. The Moon and Ocean B. The Moon and the Tide C. Water Levels D. The Pull of the Moon and the Sun 64. The pull of the moon on the earth s surface is stronger than that of the sunbecause _ . A. The moon is directly over the earth B. The moon pulls the water away from the earth C. The moon is closer to the earth D. The moon moves around the earth65. Water level reaches its low point when _. A. the moon is hidden by clouds B. the moon s effect is indirect C. the moon moves far away D. the sun is overhead66. High tide occurs _ . A. every 12 hours B. every 6 hours C. every 24 hours D. every 18 hoursDLet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children are learning to do the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bike, compare(比较) their own performances(行为) with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(日常) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.67. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn thing is by A. listening to skilled peoples advice B. asking older people many questions C. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing what other people do68. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do? A. Give children correct answers. B. Allow children to make mistakes. C. Point out childrens mistakes to themD. Let children mark their own work69. According to the writer, teachers in school _ A. allow children to learn from each other B. point out childrens mistakes whenever found C. correct childrens mistakes as soon as possible D. give children more book knowledge70. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_ _ A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning other skills C. more important than other skills D. not really important skills第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dear Sir,I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route: No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full. 71 The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. 72 The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. 73 The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. 74 There were 129 of them.Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed: 50mph.” 75 Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this? JerryA. I counted the other passengers as they got off.B. Is there anything we can do to change this?C. The problem is that
