    No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.

    Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble？Have you ever dreamed something that  36  later？Maybe you have ESP.
    ESP stands   37  Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called   38  sixth sense. It seems to let people  39   about events before they happen, or events  40   are happening some  41  away.
    There are thousands of stories on  42  . Scientists are studying  43  to find out what’s behind these  44   mental messages. Here’s an example, one of hundreds of  45   that have come true.
    A man dreamed he was walking along a road  46  a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death,   47  he ran away. The next day, the  48   was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he  49  in the dream. He would not  50  the bus. As the bus drove off, it  51  crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was  52 ！
    Some people say stories like this are lies or  53  . Others, including some scientists,  54  that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about  55  mind.

    Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.
    “Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”
    Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.
    This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.
    “We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.”
    As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.
    Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.
    “The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”
    More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.
    This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.
    68. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.
    A. travel fees                                                           B. financial concerns
    C. poor exam results                                             D. worries about living far away from home
    69. The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.
    A. A text message                                                  B. A large gift package
    C. An admission letter                                          D. A scholarship letter
    70. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.
    B. Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.
    C. It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.
    D. An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.              
    71. The passage mainly focuses on ______.
    A. the calculation of different costs including tuition
    B. the extremely hard financial situation in America
    C. the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges
    D. the financial crisis of families over college entrance

    “We started as a group of friends with the same problem: difficulty in our personal life to manage our time, being always in a hurry.” This thought was recently offered by Bruno to explain the origin of The Art of Living Slowly, an organization that he founded two years ago, with his wife, Ella.

    Bruno and Ella said they decided to draw more people’s attention to the overlooked idea that “time is wealth.” On February 19th last year, they created a new holiday, the first Global Day of Slow Living. Despite its ambitious name, the event was limited almost entirely to Italy, where the couple arranged a number of events: a reverse bicycle race in which the last rider was declared the winner; an afternoon of grandfathers reading poetry to children etc.
    One Monday in late February, 2008, the couple staged a New York version (版本) of the Day of Slow Living. “It has to be a Monday, the worst day to try to slow down.” Bruno explained. Bruno was wearing a police cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a sandwich board stating, “Watch out! Speed-walking camera is in action!” He flagged down passers-by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen “slowmandments.” For example, No. 4: Write your text message on your cell phone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with “Dear …” No 7: Avoid being so busy that you don’t have time for yourself. Bruno told the passers-by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away.
    Many said, “I can’t do this. New York is too fast.” Bruno admitted. But many stopped, they read and said. “This one is good for me, because trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.”
    When asked about their plans for the future. Bruno and Ella looked at each other and chanted the name of the city they have chosen for next year’s Global Day of Slow Living, “Tokyo!”
    68. The Art of Living Slowly was founded to help people         .
    A．understand the truth of life.    B．know the difficulty in managing time
    C．avoid being in a hurry all the time  D．make friends with the same problem
    69. What did Bruno do in New York?
    A．He advertised his idea on a sandwich board.
    B．He stopped passers-by and delivered postcards.
    C．He served as a policeman to prevent accidents.
    D．He took photos for the people who walked fast.
    70. Which statement may be included in the fourteen “slowmandments” in paragraph 3?
    A．Wake up five minutes earlier.  B．Do two things at the same time.
    C．Make a habit of writing letters.      D．Don’t work on weekends and relax.
    71. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．The new holiday is usually celebrated on a fixed day.
    B．Italian grandfathers enjoy reading poetry to children.
    C．The couple tend to choose busy cities to promote the idea.
    D．New Yorkers have a negative attitude towards slow living.

    First the ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and Turkey. The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something evil (邪恶的) is happening underfoot.
    It’s not.
    While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren’t. the problem is what’s happening above ground, not underground, experts say.
    More people are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones, and they’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t withstand (经受) earthquakes, scientists believe.
    And around-the-clock news coverage (报道) and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.
    “I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end,” said Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics (筑造学) at Durharn University in the UK.
    A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Last month, an 8.8 magnitude quake--- the fifth-strongest since 1900—killed more than 900 people in Chile. And two weeks ago, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
    On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9, according to the US Geological Survey. This year is off to a fast start with 40 so far—more than in most years for that time period.
    But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many quakes this early in the year skews (扭曲) the picture, said Paul Earle, a US seismologist (地震学家).
    Also, it’s not the number of quakes, but their devastating (破坏性的) impacts that gain attention, with the death tolls (死亡人数) largely due to construction standards and crowding, Earle added. “The standard mantra (咒语) is earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do, ” he said.
    There have been more deaths over the past decades from earthquakes, said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column last month in the journal Nature, Bilham called for better construction standards in the world’s big cities.
    Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million, more than half are prone (倾向于) to earthquakes, Bilham said.
    Developing nations, where populations are booming, don’t pay attention to earthquake preparedness, Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself, you’re not really going to worry about earthquakes.”
    Another reason quakes seem worse is that we’re paying attention more. The Haiti earthquake quickly followed by the 8.8 in Chile made everyone start to think.
    But it won’t last, said US disaster researcher Deniis Mileti. “People are paying attention to the violent planet we’ve always lived on,” Mileti said.” Come back in another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again. ”
    73. What is the main idea of the article?
    A. The number of earthquakes is increasing this year.     
    B. The reasons why earthquakes are so devastating.
    C. The reasons why recent earthquakes have struck large cities.
    D. Why earthquakes seem to be more serious this year.
    74. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the seeming increase in earthquakes this year，
    according to the article?
    A. Greater underground activity.      
    B. A larger number of buildings prone to damage during earthquakes.
    C. Around-the-clock news coverage.   
    D. Better earthquake monitoring.
    75. According to the article, it is safe to say that ______.
    A. there is an evil force beneath the world’s surface
    B. large cities are always built in quake zones
    C. enough attention has been paid to reducing the impact of earthquakes
    D. the earthquake in Chili caused many aftershocks.
    76. According to the article, the greater damage of earthquakes this year can be mainly caused by ______.
    A. the occurrence of larger earthquakes
    B. insufficient warnings about earthquakes
    C. poor construction standards and overcrowding
    D. an increase in large cities

     When he thought of the past, my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school. They were brown and faded, and it was hard to believe that the blurred(模糊) figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather. Besides, he wore a cap --- all the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured. When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group, we would surely point to the wrong boy.
    On one such occasion my younger sister, aged six, burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. "How could that boy be you?" she cried. "He should have a beard." We were, of course, all convinced that grandfathers should have beards, preferably white and bushy, like our own grandfather's.
    "I was a good scholar," Grandfather would say, wagging his beard over the photographs. "I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood, and again when I came home from school."
    "But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays?"
    "Saturdays, if it was fine, I'd be out all day in the fields with the men," replied Grandfather. "And if it was wet, I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house. There wasn't much time for studying."
    We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have seen Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never, obviously, having a moment for himself. It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.
    41. In the first paragraph of this passage, what the author really tells us is that ________ .
    A. his grandfather used to wear short trousers, socks and a cap as well
    B. it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was Grandfather
    C. he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school
    D. it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward
    42. The author's sister burst into tears because________.
    A. she did not get a chance to pick out Grandfather in the photographs
    B. she was told which was the right boy before she herself could pick him out
    C. other children did not agree with her that Grandfather should have had a beard
    D. she found Grandfather in the photographs did not have a beard
    43. When Grandfather said, "I should have been top of the class...", he meant ________ .
    A. if he had had more time for studying, he would have been the best in his class
    B. he should have spent more time studying rather than playing ball games
    C. his school days should not have been so hard and miserable
    D. he could have never been the best student even if he had studied still harder
    44. In the last paragraph the author said, "We all tried hard to imagine..." because ________ .
    A. the figures of the boys in the photographs were small and blurred
    B. the children had never experienced life like that of Grandfather
    C. the photographs Grandfather showed them were brown and faded
    D. Grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail

    B
    Escaping a fire is a serious matter: knowing what to do during a fire can save life. It is important to know the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairs and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by window with the least chance of serious injury.
    The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A person of average height, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
    Windows are also very useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get enough fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.
    On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto the cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
    69. Which of the following people seldom use when trying to escape a fire?
    A. Windows.                        B. Doors.                                   C. Fire escapes.             D. Lifts.
    70. How far from the ground to the second floor window?
    A. About 12 feet.                                                           B. About 3 feet.
    C. Nearly 10 feet.                                                           D. About height of an average man.
    71. The writer tells us that ______.
    breathing in smoke might not be harmful
    smoke will enter the room by an open window
    fresh air can’t reach the second floor
    to keep your head low will help you escape a fire
