It was the first serious conflict in 40 years of farming 31 . It began with a small misunderstanding and 32 into a major difference, and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of 33 .One morning, there was a 34 on the elder brothers door. A carpenter was looking for a few days work. “Perhaps you would have a few small 35 here and there that I could help with.” said the carpenter.“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. 36 the creek at that farm .

And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I dont really care for it. I work full-time and too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and somehow got a live-in job taking care of a woman who had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed（瘫痪）.The woman had an electric wheelchair. She could move her head and arms but not her hands or fingers. She had this clamp（夹子）attached to her arm and Id have to open it and put a cup or a pencil in it and then she could move it. She would tell me how to do things. She would instruct me in great detail on the correct way to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. Im sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks and pillow cases. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed and tuck (塞)the corners. I know sometimes shed get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to grab it and do it herself. But she never yelled（大叫）or scolded. Only insisted I do it right. I didnt like it much, but I did it.Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt, the right way to do the collar and sleeves. Now that I think about it, I dont think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.51.From the passage we can infer that the writer of the passage now is _.A. a housewife B. a full-time workerC. a clothes maker D. a college student52.The writer used to take care of the lady because _.A. she wanted to learn how to do houseworkB. she was a relative of the disabled womanC. she wanted to earn some money while sleeping and eating thereD. she had to do something in return to the lady for her kindness53.

And, it has made the word “me” one of the most frequently used words. Everything seems to be about “me”. This generation has a greater awareness of itself.Some people do not seem to agree that all this is self-centred. When Cai Fuchao, Beijings publicity head, was asked to comment on the lack of responsibility of university students during the SARS period, his reply was: “Modern university students are ambitious, knowledgeable and have a very strong sense of responsibility to the society.”As news analyst from , Pan Fengliang, echoed（随声附和）that, saying that blindly blaming them(for running away during the SARS outbreak) was prejudiced and unfair and not backed with evidence.No doubt, the development of information technology has contributed its bit to broadening, or bending, the minds of the 80s generation.Some people even call Gen80 “the E-generation”. They get in touch with each other via email, QQ, ICQ and MSN.While the people of the 60s and 70s swarmed（涌往）to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou, Gen80s were on the BBS saying that it was “really dumb”.“The internet is so much more to those of the 80s than you can imagine,” said Wu Junyong, an IT engineer who was born in 1978.In Wus opinion, its the Internet that separates the 70s from the 80s, “Many of the70s dont see why those from the 80s can spend everyday in front of a computer.”A new weekly Magazine/163.com survey last year found that 40 percent of the 7,000 people surveyed, born in the 80s, thought the computer was the most important article in life; more than 70 percent of their parents preferred the home.55.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The development of information technology contributed to the 80sgreater awareness of itself.B. The E-generation rushed to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou.C. All the 80s can spend every day in front of a computer.D. Not all people think that the “born in the 1980s” are selfish and irresponsible.56.What can we infer from the passage?A. All the 80s have a strong sense of responsibility to the society.B. Computers play a more important part in the life of the 80s, who perhaps cant live without them.C. The 80s generation are ambitious, knowledgeable and responsible.D. People cant imagine why the 80s like internet so much.57.The best title for this passage could be _.A. The self-centred generation B. The internet generationC. The “born in the 80s”generation D. The life of the 80s58.The purpose of this passage is to tell us _.A. peoples different opinions towards the 80s generation.B. the 80s are the E-generation.C. the 80s are different from others in society.D. the80s have their own characteristics and we shouldnt lose confidence inthem( C )For most Chinese university students, the US is a favorite destination for further education. But apart from obstacles such as the GRE and TOEFL exams, choosing a good graduate school is no easy task.Admission is very competitive for international students, so it is important to apply to a number of institutions to have a reasonable chance of acceptance.Since the application to most universities requires a certain fee, Chinese students usually choose seven to 17 universities according to their own financial circumstances.Wang Yuwei, a Zhejiang University graduate, sent applications to 15 US universities.When the 24-year-old began looking for a US graduate school in her senior year, she took time to compare the various schools and find the ones most suiting her needs. Now, studying at the University of Washington, she knows that her hard work paid off.“To broaden your chances, at least one third of the applications should be to less selective schools,” said Wang. “Applicants shouldnt limit their choices to the most famous institutions.”Furthermore, one shouldnt rely on too much on college rankings such as the Gorman Report or US News & World Reports annual league tables.The right school is the one that best meets your own personal needs and interests, rather than someone elses assessment of an institutions prestige(声望).“Usually choices are based on ones personal interests and academic background, but it is important to make sure that your chosen subject is satisfied,” said Wang.59.The author believes that the right school is the one that _.A. has the best locationB. best meets ones own personal needs and interestsC. best meets ones assessment of an institutions prestigeD. offers good living conditions60.According to this passage, what can we judge?A. More and more students will go abroad for their further education.B. Choosing a good graduate school is a piece of cake.C. To go abroad for further education, you must pass the GRE or TOTEL.D. To get a better chance to go abroad, you d better apply to a less selective school.61. In the passage the writer uses the example of Wang Yuwei to show _.A. you must spend a lot of time comparing the various schoolsB. it isnt worthwhile to spend time looking for the right universityC. it is necessary to find the suitable university that meets your personal interestsD. ones own financial circumstances is worth considering62.What will be continued after this passage?A. How hard Chinese students studied in America.B. Some advice on how to take care of yourself in America.C. The difficulties you will meet with while living in AmericaD. Some other things to consider to choose the right school.(D)Read the postcards and choose the best answer for each question.Bikaner 13/1/2020Dear Youming,Have arrived in Bikaner leaving Delhi behind us. Unfortunately there just wasnt enough time to see everything in only four days. Outside Bikaners city walls are miles of desert wilderness. Tomorrow I look forward to exploring the wall itself. The sandstone architecture is said to be incredible. We are also going to take a camel ride through some of the desert. Can you picture me on a camel? Ill make sure that I have lots of photographs taken. After three days here the next stop is Jaipur.Love,LisaDelhi 8/1/2020Dear Mum and Dad,We have just arrived in India and are in the bustling and exciting city of Delhi. This morning we visited the Red Fort. There we found magnificent palaces, mosques and splendid buildings. I could have spent hours there. This afternoon, amongst other things, we visited the India Gate-a memorial for Indian soldiers lost at war earlier this century. The gates were the largest I have ever seen.Wish you were here,Lisa 21/1/2020Dear Jinao,So far so good. Once we arrived in Agra, we went straight to the Taj Mahal. I have never seen anything so wonderful. They said that it would look something like Humuyans Tomb(Delhi) and it does! There really is nothing more amazing than the brilliant white of the Taj shimmering in the daylight. Apparently the pollution poses a real threat to it. We really covered a great deal in three days here.Its been an amazing experience and Im sorry that well be flying home this evening.Bye for now.LisaJaipur 17/1/2020Dear Libing,I am writing from the Johari bazaar in Jaipur. This is a wonderful jewellery market. Ive found all sorts of intriguing treasures. This morning we visited the Hawa Mahal,”The palace of the Winds”. It is the most incredible structure. The faade of the palace is all windows and filigree screens. Yesterday we visited the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar. After two days here, the next stop is Agra where I look forward to visiting the fort and the Taj.See you soon,Lisa6
