    Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
    I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
    The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
    Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
    I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反复试验）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
    41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
    A．to get into trouble                                                               B．to play better than he did
    C．people to stop and listen to him             D．to be told to move somewhere else
    42．The first man who gave him money           .
    A．was too busy to stop                            B．wanted to get rid of him               
    C．dropped the money by mistake              D．did not want to attract attention
    43．He gradually became confident that day because           .
    A．nobody looked at him                          B．he played the violin very well       
    C．people continued to give him money      D．he earned a lot of money
    44．On the following days, he           .
    A．made a lot of mistakes                         B．learned how to do the job better    
    C．get better at playing the violin               D．did not make so much money
    45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
    A．play in different streets                        B．leave all the money in the hat        
    C．empty the hat at regular times               D．leave a small amount of money in the hat

    I will never forget what my old headmaster taught me. Normally when you are only 15          years of age you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.
    It was a normal Monday morning, and he was making a speech to the students on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
    An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench(恶臭)came out of the house and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
    The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house to tell the good news to him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
    59. The headmaster told the story to the students to__________.
    A. make the students relaxed in the lesson             B. remind the students to think deeply
    C. show how poor the old man was                            D. encourage the students to become rich
    60. After hearing what the officer said, the old man_________.
    A. believed the officer was playing a joke on him. B. didn't know many people respected him a lot.
    C. was very angry to find his house broken into.     D. was not so excited as the officer had expected.
    61. What did the author learn from the story?
    A . One should devote himself to his dream.            B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.
    C. What the headmaster taught was very important.
    D. People must have a plan before taking action.
    62. Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the old man?
    A. Pity.           B. Disappointment.                 C. Respect.          D. Anger.
    63. We know from the passage that ___________________.
    the author had a big dream at the age of 15.         
    B. the headmaster was popular with the students.
    the old man begged every day without stopping.  
    D. the neighbors took great pity on the old man.

    In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
    Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
    Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine - laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
    This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV - infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
    A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, " I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me. "
    64. What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?
    A.  optimistic.      B.  pessimistic.   C. sorrowful.              D. fearful.
    65. Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because ________.
    A. red is a lucky color                 B. red might help to cure him
    C. his mom could spot him easily        D. he could find more mates by wearing red
    66. Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
    A. My unusual profession.                 B. A caring mother.
    C. Mother and son.                         D. Dying in red.
    67. The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means ________.
    A. a promising and helpful youth       B. an extremely energetic person
    C. a rare and beautiful flower          D. a magic and understanding superstar

    If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then I have found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood Holiday Village, which is open from May until October.
    Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather is like. Its main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young and old can have fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
    For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your children are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place for families as it is traffic-free-you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
    Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area. Before going, I thought the apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised ― it was not too crowded at all.
    I'll definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don't you give it a try? Visit their website for further information now!

    A
    Events took place around the world last week to celebrate International Women’s Day.
    The March eighth observance came as thousands of delegates from one hundred thirty countries met at the United Nations in New York. They discussed progress on a plan of action for women's equality. The document was approved ten years ago at a conference in Beijing.
    It calls for improved health care for women, along with economic and political gains. It also calls for efforts to reduce human rights violations against women.
    In Asia last Tuesday, there were demonstrations against unfair treatment of women.
    In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a Conference of Women Leaders. Laura Bush, the president's wife, spoke at the event which had representatives from fifteen Muslim nations. The first lady praised recent political gains for Muslim women.
    In Afghanistan, for example, President Hamid Karzai has appointed the first female governor of a province. In Iraq, women hold almost one-third of the 249 seats in the newly elected National Assembly. And Missus Bush noted that nearly half the voters in the Palestinian presidential election were women.
    International Women’s Day began in nineteen ten in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was designed to build support for voting rights for women worldwide. Missus Bush noted that it took American women many years to be recognized as full citizens with the right to vote.
    Last week, just before International Women Day's, hundreds of women and men demonstrated in Kuwait to demand the right for women to vote. The government urged parliament to act quickly to debate such reforms.
    Also last Monday, Human Rights Watch released a report on sexual violence by soldiers and members of armed groups in eastern Congo. The New York-based group says tens of thousands of women and young girls have been raped and beaten. Yet it says almost all the crimes have gone without punishment.
    51．According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
    A. The document on women’s equality has not been approved yet.

    A wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.
    In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm found that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation,  had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity（长寿）than her own class.
    “Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a consequence, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm.
    The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women hodling university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 per cent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.
    According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drivers carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated woman may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.
    The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.
    68. In this passage the author intends to_______.
    A. encourage women to get higher education
    B. present the results of a study.
    C. analyze the relationship between education and life
    D. discuss why women usually live longer than men
    69. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because______.
    A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men do
    B. most women have higher degrees than their husbands
    C. most men marry women with higher degrees
    D. women have a leading role in the home life of most families
    70. A woman with higher education is likely to_____.
    A. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers.
    B. marry a man without many bad habits
    C. earn more money than her husband
    D. teach her children well
    71. We learn from the passage that_______.
    A. a man with a lot of education live longer than one with little.
    B. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own.
    C. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their families.
    D. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated men.
