Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us. Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district. Although we like our neighbors, were decided to move south for two reasons. First, the weather will suit us better, and second, well be a little nearer to you, Uncle George and Auntie Hilda. It will make visiting each other much simpler.We stayed with your uncle and aunt last weekend and saw several houses. One of them sounded as if it were just that we wanted. The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc. When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make it habitable（宜居的）. The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating. After that, we were very cautious about believing details from the estate（房地产） agent. The next two we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted. It was empty, so were going to move in immediately. Well put all your things in boxes and take them with us. Youll have to sort them out, throwing away what you dont want.Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in a country. Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.Lots of Love,Mum and Dad56. The parents decided to move south because _.A. they didnt like travelingB. they wanted to go back to their hometownC. they both retired and they wanted to live with their childrenD. they wanted to be nearer to their relatives and they liked the weather in the south57. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Para 2 “When we saw it, we nearly died!”?A. We were at a loss for words when we saw the house.B. We were so tired since we had been to several houses.C. We were so excited because the house was exactly what we wanted.D. We were greatly disappointed because the house was in a poor condition.58. From the passage, we can understand that the estate agent _.A. overstated the exact condition of the houseB. did not have enough houses for people to choose fromC. tried to persuade people to buy houses in a poor conditionD. usually could not understand the need of their customers59. The purpose of the parents writing this letter is to _.A. ask their children to help them move houseB. express their regret for not being with their childrenC. inform the children that they will move to a new houseD. ask their children for suggestions about moving to a new houseBThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.They are on the shelves, and each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movements have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both eye and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of McDonalds are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.60. According to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A. the belief in the productB. the quality of the productC. the salesman in the supermarketD. the pleasing color of the package61. What does the nderlined sentence in Para 2 mean?A. Many good products are of bad package.B. Package has great influence on the product.C. Product and Package are of the same thing.D. Package is more important than the product itself.62. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can _.A. make people feel relaxedB. bring excitement to the consumersC. produce a happy and peaceful feelingD. catch the eye movement of the consumers63. What is the best title of the passage?A. Package and Product.B. Consumer Response.C. Colors and Shapes.D. The Inner Self of the Consumer.CAmerican researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the bodys defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes（淋巴细胞）. The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells genetic（基因的） material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins just as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.64. The new technique can _.A. kill the AIDS virusB. produce new anti-AIDS cellsC. produce new medicines for AIDSD. prevent the AIDS virus from spreading65. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by _.A. any blood cells in the bodyB. the inside of the virus itselfC. the genetic material of T4 cellsD. the outside of the T4 lymphocytes66. The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because _.A. the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB. the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC. the cloned proteins are the same as the real proteinsD. the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods67. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. The Genetic Causes of AIDS.B. A New Approach of Fighting AIDS.C. A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.DThe most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed（胜过） the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in deucation. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. Thats up to you.A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual（个人的） process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.68. According to the writer, personal discoveries _.A. will give one encouragement and directionB. are helpful in finding the right informationC. are the most valuable part of ones personal educationD. will help one to successfully complete school assignments69. It can be inferred from the passage what writing a research paper gives one chances _.A. to fully develop ones personal abilitiesB. to practice the skills learnt in the classroomC. to prove that one is a
