There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. Within opening night only a week away, I was still learning lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my action at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both action and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes.“is this what youre looking for?”he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life I realized that the city couldnt be bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.56.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?ACold and sick. BFortunate and hopeful.CSatisfied and cheerful. DDisappointed and helpless.57.On her way home the writer_.Alost her wallet unknowinglyBwas stopped by a garbage truck driverCwas robbed of her wallet by an armed man Dfound some homeless people following her58.In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?ASomeone offered to take her back home.BA red-haired man came to see her.CShe heard someone calling her name.DHer wallet was found in a garbage truck.59.From the text, we can infer that the writer_.Awould stop working at night Bwould give up her job at the bankCwould make friends with cleaners Dwould stay on in San Francisco（B）The plastic identification cards carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic cards.The new cards, which most people will have by 2020, contain a microchip(微芯片) on which personal information is stored. This can be checked against databases(资料库) kept by the government.“The information will be locked into the card so that people wont be able to use false identities.”said Ren Tianbu, a security official in Shenyang.Chinas present plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago, and many other countries use a similar system. However, the information shown on a card differs from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holders name, sex, date of birth and photograph.Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards, but there are some developed nations who dislike the idea. The US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and Britain are among those with no national ID card. However, some of the countries have ID cards for particular uses. For example, Australia and the United States use a driving license to identify people.Identity cards are introduced for a variety of reasons. Race, politics and religion were often at the heart of older ID systems. In recent years, though, ID cards have been linked to national information databases, which form the basis of how a government manages a country.The US, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of preventing terrorist attacks.However, such plans have been met with strong resistance by those who believe identity cards work against human rights and personal information.“ID cards make us suspects, not citizens,” said UK human rights group Liberty.60.What is one of the differences between Chinas new and present ID cards?AThe new ones contain different personal information.BThe present ID cards are easier to copy.CEven little kids can have the new ID cards.DThe information on present ID cards isnt in the databases kept by the government.61.Which of the following countries does not have an ID card system?AFrance. BSpain. CSweden. DGermany.62.What is the main reason why government use ID card systems nowadays?ATo prevent terrorist attacks. BTo fight against crimes.CTo support government services. DTo have more control on its citizens.63.The purpose of this passage is to _.Ainform BentertainCclear up some mysteries Dremove some misunderstanding （C）1 have traveled all over the world. here is a little advice on“wise travelling”.I have learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double-check departure times. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I hadnt bothered to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10:30 and that the flight was, according to international regulations, “now closed”. I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and since I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen, buddy! I only take real money!”the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave, especially if you can take only a little luggage with you. I feel sorry for some of my colleagues who travel in heavy suits and raincoat in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. Few people understand just how important it is to have the right sort or clothes with you in these days of rapid air travel.64. According to the passage, its obvious that _. A. the writer has learned these rules of traveling from his own experienceB. the writer is a careless manC. English men like to be in heavy suits wherever they travelD. the American driver never travels to England65.Before setting off you should check and double-check_ times.Astart Barrival Cdelay Dflying66.The writer wants people to _.Alive a happier lifeBgive him some rules about“wise traveling”Cpay enough attention to the weather conditions when they travelDstay at home avoiding the trouble during the journey（D）Income gap in China reaches alert(警戒)level after rapid expansion. Since 2020, the income gap in China has reached the second most serious“Yellow Light”level, or alert level, says an article on stage media.“Unless effective measures are taken, the gap may drift further to the dangerous Red Light level in the next five years.”says the article in Study Times, quoting(引用)from a research report of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.The widening income gap in China has become a focal(焦点的)issue in China and aroused the concern of foreign researchers, says the article in the newspaper, which is run by the Party School of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.It says the United Nations Development Program released(发布)statistics that show the Gini coefficient(基尼系数), a statistical measure of inequality in which zero expresses complete equality while one expresses complete inequality, has reached 0.45 in China; 20 percent of Chinas population at the poverty end accounts for only 4.7 percent of the total income or consumption(消费); 20 percent of Chinas population at the affluence（富裕）end accounts for 50 percent of the total income or consumption.The article says the income gap, which has exceeded reasonable limits, exhibits a further widening trend.
