She treated them as though they were a 43 . “That will be $ 6.09,” the cashier said. The boy 44 his pockets. He finally came up with $ 3.12. “ I guess we will have to put them back,” he 45 said. “We will come back some other time, maybe tomorrow.” With that statement, a soft 46 broke from the little girl. “But Jesus would have loved these shoes,” she cried.“Well, well go home and work some more. Dont cry. Well surely 47 ,” he said. Quickly I handed $ 3.00 to the cashier. These children had waited in line for a long time. And, 48 , it was Christmas.

Daddy said she might go before Christmas to be with Jesus.” The girl spoke, “My Sunday school teacher said the streets in heaven are shiny gold, just like these shoes. Wont mommy be 52 walking on those streets in these shoes?”My eyes 53 as I looked into her tear-streaked face. “Yes,” I answered, “I am 54 she will.” Silently I thanked God for using these children to 55 me of the true spirit of giving.36.

Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbour Janice Hamiltons main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside to make sure they know how many people lived there.” Halmiton said. “It was scary.”“Seals called me screaming,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”It is said that Garcias brother Gabrief brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesnt usually bark,” Vega said. “Hes really friendly.”According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord（电缆）used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. “Id say its unlikely they will recover this, but Ive been surprised before,” Clyatt said.56. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save NeighboursB. Dog Saves Teen Girl from House FireC. Family Needs Help Due to House FireD. Firefighters Put Out House Fire57. The underlined word “they” in Para 3 probably refers to _.A. the firefightersB. Hamiltons family membersC. other neighboursD. Vega and her brother Garcia58. We know from the report all the following except _.A. the relationship between Seals and GarciaB. the person who called the firefightersC. the possible cause of the accidentD. the owner of the house59. By saying “Id say its unlikely they will recover this, but Ive been surprised before.” Clyatt means _.A. its a wonder that Seals survived the fireB. such a bad fire was seldom seenC. the house was badly damagedD. Chato is a very clever dogBClothes made in China were worn in European countries thousands of years before the first export factories sprung up (涌现出来) . A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi, was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate. Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved (保存完好) mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal valley of the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing. Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during the first world war, but was found to be thousands of years older. Studying Otzi shows that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7,000 years old, the knife belonged to the time hundreds years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzis tattoo (纹身) shows that he might have been a person who practiced magic, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia. There are still thousands of mysteries about Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse(咒语). Some researchers believe that Otzis curse is still effective and will bring bad luck upon those who trouble his dead body. Indeed, several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man have already died. (From Reuters 2020/12/30)60. When did Otzi possibly live? A. During WWI. B. about 7,000 years ago. C. about 5307 years ago. D. about 1,000 years ago. 61. Otzi was thought likely to be a _. A. wizard B. soldier C. hunter D. farmer62. How was Otzis identity probably found? A. With the help of the knife he used. B. With the help of the arrows. C. Through the fur worn by Otzi. D. Through the patterns pricked (刺) onto the skin. 63. What can we learn from the story? A. Otzi might be named after valley where he was found B. Otzis arrows and knife were made in China.C. Otzi must have once visited ancient China.D. No one dare to see Otzis dead body again.CSports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to ensure time in front of the television have been invented in the UK.The shoes dubbed (配音的) Square Eyes contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter（发射机）passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to combat (遏制) the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, said Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood obesity(过度肥胖) really stood out,” she told New Scientist. “And I wanted to deal with that with my design.”Once the child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggested a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than 2 hours of TV. So every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time.64. The best title for the passage might be _. A. A Newly-invented Type of Shoes in the UK B. Smart Shoes Deciding on Television Time C. New Shoes and Watching TV in the UK D. The Problem of Childrens Obesity65. We know from the passage the wireless transmitter is probably placed in _.A. the pressure sensorB. the televisionC. the computerD. the shoes66. Gillian Swan developed Square Eyes to _.A. gain enough TV timeB. deal with childhood obesityC. encourage TV watchingD. finish university design project67. The underlined word “allowance” in Para.4 probably means _.A. the money given to childrenB. the money for watching TVC. the time of watching TVD. the steps to be taken68. If a child takes 2,250 steps on Saturday, he can earn _ of TV time.A. 11 minutes 15 seconds B. 22 minutes 50 secondsC. 22 minutes 25 seconds D. 22 minutes 30 seconds DAlthough the 2020 US presidential elections are still a long way off, candidates are already getting ready for the campaigns ahead. For the Democrats (民主党人), the two leading candidates are a surprising pair. The first is Hillary Clinton, 60, the wife of former President Bill Clinton. The second is Barack Obama, 45, a Harvard educated senator (参议员). It is the first time that the leading presidential candidates for a political party are either a woman or black. The dynamic pair has certainly gotten peoples attention.But the question remains, is America ready for either one? Its not a simple question to answer. For the past 220 years, Americans have elected only white males to the nations highest office. That can hardly be called a tradition of diversity. However, many people believe that 2020 will be the year that this changes. The white men that have been running the country recently have done such a bad job, at home and abroad, that maybe now is the time for a change, said Dorian Cool of San Francisco, California. The polling numbers seem to back up his opinion: 86 percent of Americans say they would vote for a qualified woman. An impressive 93 percent say they would vote for a black man if he seemed right for the job. These numbers are much higher than they were just 20 years ago. They may suggest that Americans are ready to be led by a different type of person. Still, there is a lot to overcome. Although women represent 51 percent of the American population, there are only nine female governors out of 50. Out of 100 senators, only 16 are women. The numbers are significantly lower for blacks in office. Since the American Civil War, only two blacks have been elected governor and only three have been elected to the Senate. Surely both candidates face difficult odds, but never before has there been so much support for either a female or a black candidate. As Barack Obama himself said, There is not a black America and a white America, a Latino America and an Asian America theres the United States of America. If others share his vision, maybe the United States will end up with a new type of leader.69. The author considers Hillary and Barack “a surprising pair” because they are _. A. both powerful B. both likely to win C. either a woman or blackD. either the wife of former President or a Harvard educated senator70. Many people expect the 2020 US presidential elections to _. A. be nothing special B. bring great changes to America C. be a common political campaign D. change the tradition of diversity 71. Both Hillary and Barack face difficult odds mainly because _. A. few women or blacks hold high official positions in American historyB. women take up 51% of the American population C. they are either too young or old D. they lack financial support72. We can infer from the passage that _. A. Barack Obama is well educated B. Hillary Clinton is less likely to win the e
