假如你是刘芳，你的美国笔友Bob在网上见到下面的漫画，向你询问其含义。请用英语写一封120-150词的e-mail，内容如下：
1．简要描述漫画；
2．解读该生放弃高考的可能原因；
3．谈谈你个人的观点。
This cartoon tells a miserable story. As you can see, a young man, who is obvious a senior high student, is going away on a trip. As the two Chinese characters on the staircase suggest, the young man has reluctantly given up the coming college entrance examination. Why?
The above things are now quite common in China. In recent years, it's more and more difficult for college graduates to find jobs. Their parents spend a lot of money supporting them in colleges or universities, but their efforts cannot be paid off. So their parents believe it’s no use for their children to go on to college.
I feel sorry for the young man, but I don' t think it's a right decision that he has made, but what can he do? I think the government should take some measures to solve this problem.
Yours,
Liu Fang

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .

Justin's bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
"What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack--a smaller version of his bedroom--a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
"Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" he asked. "I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I'm late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked really worried.
"Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.
"That's amazing!' Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."
68. Why is Justin's room such a mess?
A. He always forgets to clean it. B. He never throws anything away.
C. He has no time to clean it. D. He shares the room with his brother.
69. In what way is Justin's backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?
A. He uses it as a place to store objects.
B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.
C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
D. He's had it for as long as he can remember.
70. The underlined phrase "pleaded with" means
A. ignored B. asked C. pushed D. Ordered
71. How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
A. Annoyed. B. Disinterested. C. Grateful. D. Angry.

(江西省抚州一中2009届高三第四次模拟考试E篇)
Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am absolutely amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information.
There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above.
With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not.
A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position. It is a provisional approach to all factual claims. In terms of processing information, a skeptic needs to be able to grasp reality and acquire knowledge about the environment that agrees with reason, logic, and evidence. In other words, as skeptics, when we hear a claim that may or may not be fantastic, we should say, "That's nice, prove it."
72．The writer implies that if we want to make some judgments about some information, the first thing that we should do is to .
A. ask for the information B. cut off all channels of information
C. receive and go through the information D. become information "hermits"
73. What does the author say is the more reasonable approach to processing the information wave?
A. A skeptical approach. B. A subjective approach.
C. A cynical approach. D. A philosophical approach.
74. What can we conclude from the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
A. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too optimistic.
B. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too pessimistic(opposite of optimistic).
C. Skeptics take a position but cynics are extreme in their attitude.
D. Skeptics reject all new ideas but cynics only reject some of them.
75. When faced with an incredible or fantastic claim, what shall we do according to the author?
A. Ask questions and look for proof. B. Ignore the information and its source.
C. Change the subject immediately.
D. Try to consult an expert who knows the truth.

(江西省抚州一中2009届高三第四次模拟考试A篇)
Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other way by signals.
Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In the Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant “man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time of day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.
To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.
The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.
He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he attempted to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.
An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he removed the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.
Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.
56. The whole text is mainly about _______.
A. different tribes have different languages
B. the Indians had many kinds of languages
C. how Indians communicated between different tribes
D. why the Indians used many languages
57. An Indian used a mirror to do all the followings EXCEPT _______.
A. send messages in code
B. get the attention of someone in the distance
C. warn someone of danger
D. to tell a friend from an enemy
58. Sign language is _______.
A. to write one’s signature
B. a secret way of talking to some Indian tribes
C. a kind of gesture only for Indians
D. a way to express one’s ideas by making gestures
59. Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language because _______.
A. they thought they could easily make themselves understood
B. they could use signals or sign language
C. different tribes lived far away and never met each other
D. they never communicated with one another
