His brand new glasses were _42_ for another country!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States.

When my staff_49_ the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I _50_ on the glasses, it was _51_ they had been made just for me!

But he dutifully reviewed his lessons. Over the months he tried and tried, and often repeating to me “My moms going to hear me play some day.”But he seemed hopeless, with no born ability. A real bad advertisement for my teaching! I was so happy when one day he stopped coming.Several weeks later my students were to have a recital (演奏会). To my surprise, Robby came, asking to play in the recital.“But, it is for current pupils, you dropped.”“My mom was sick. But I have been practicing. Ive just got to play!”I dont know what led me to agree, maybe .The recital came. I put Robby up last to play before my “curtain closer”, by which, I could save the recital if The recital went off well. Robby came up on stage, clothes wrinkled and his hair looked like hed run an egg-beater through it. “How could his mom ?”Robby pulled out the piano bench and began. It was Mozarts work! I was not prepared for what I heard next. Like in a dream, I was then woken up by the wild applause, everybody was on their feet!“Ive never heard you play like that Robby! Howd you do it?”Through the microphone Robby explained, “Well, Miss Hondorf, remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she had cancer and died this morning. She was born deaf. Tonight was the first time she ever heard me play. I wanted to make it special.”My eyes were wet. He was not a student of mine, but a teacher!56. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence?A. The writer was fully confident that Robby would perform well.B. The writer thought that Robby would make the recital special.C. The writer thought that Robby wouldnt play at the recital then.D. The writer had no confidence in Robby at all for the recital.57. What made the boy succeed in the recital?A. Love for his mother B. Musical talentC. The writers help D. Regular practice58. What made the writer think that Robby was her teacher, not student?A. That he played better than her in the recital.B. That he loved his mother more than she did.C. That he never gave up.D. That the audience gave him more applause than her.BThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, “DINKS”, which means Double Income No Kids.In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000, 000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. Whats more, if they want to have a child, the childs education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, its difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children and keeping their jobs.In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.59. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A. The small number of newborn babies.B. The changing social situation of women.C. The high prices of houses and education.D. The necessary steps of Asian government.60. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.B. The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now.C. Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.D. The word “DINKS” appeared in an Asian country.61. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?A. 5,000 B. 5,900 C. $10,800 D. $15,80062. The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should _.A. let women stay at home and have a babyB. allow one of the parents to go out to workC. care for the growing needs of women for jobsD. punish the companies that permit women to leaveCThree years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years. To the researchers surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated (没收) on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology(心理) of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out: “Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable collectables.”Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point: conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds.Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. First, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trusts campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.63. What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced?A. Its landscape is new to parrots of their kind.B. It used to be home to parrots of their kind.C. It is close to where they had been kept.D. Pine trees were planted to attract birds.64. Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage?A. The Trust shows great concern for the programme.B. We need to know more about how to protect parrots.C. Many people are interested in collecting parrots.D. Parrots intelligence may some day benefit people.65. According to the passage, people are advised_.A. to treat wild and caged parrots equallyB. to set up comfortable homes for parrotsC. not to keep wild parrots as petsD. not to let more parrots go to the wild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。DGetting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables._66_ Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.
