    Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
    Germs aren’t found only in water. They are found in air  and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.

    A. You haven’t looked at it carefully.
    B. Water can’t be drunk in this way.
    C. There must be lots of germs in it.
    D. Water will make you ill.
    59. Which of the following is not true?
    A. Germs can be found both in water and in the air.
    B. Germs can go into your finger if it is cut.
    C. If your temperature is not OK, there must be germs in your body.

    It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in __22_ structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and __23__ math problems while women are better at memorizing words and_24__faces. Why the differences?
    A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions---one controlling the sense of space, __25__, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains _26__from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.
    Whatever the __27__, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed __28__ differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply __29__different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way home.

    In the modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁荣). Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another, that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
    I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is really forgotten.
    However, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often notice that they have a desire to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” They don’t believe that if they had really tried and lost, such a loss would prove their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
    小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?
    A．Competition helps set up self-respect.
    B．Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
    C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
    D．Opinions about competition are different among people.
    小题2:Why do some people value competition according to the passage?
    A．It builds up a sense of duty.B．It pushes society forward.
    C．It improves personal abilities.D．It encourages individual effects.
    小题3:The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.
    A．those who try their best to win
    B．those who value competition most highly
    C．those who are against competition most strongly
    D．those who rely on others most for success
    小题4:What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
    A．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
    B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
    C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
    D．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’.
    小题5:Which point of view may the author agree to?
    A．Every effort should be paid back.
    B．Competition should be encouraged.
    C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
    D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

    Four Insurance Policies You Can' t Do Without
    A single gap in insurance coverage could wipe out the money that yon' ve earned for many years through your hard work.That' s why it' s important to give yourself a yearly insurance checkup, whether you buy your policies through an agent or from one of the growing number of insurance companies.
    Health.Before selecting a policy from your employer or deciding among Medicare options, review your current health,predictable medical needs, and family status.This review should help you avoid a plan that fails to cover a necessary treatment or paying for services that you know you'll never use.
    Disability. Your chances of becoming disabled before you retire are far greater than your chances of dying. So every working person needs some kind of disability coverage. If you are working for an employer who offers less than that, you can buy an individual policy to promote your coverage.
    Homeowners or renters. Make sure you have replacement-cost coverage that would pay the current costs of rebuilding your home and replacing your personal possessions. A policy that would only pay for the decrease in value of these items isn' t good enough, because you could end up recovering just a small part of their costs. Don' t forget flood and/or earthquake insurance if you live in a locate that has a possible tendency to these types of disasters.
    Life. Empty nesters and retirees may. no longer need life insurance at all. But if you have dependents who would suffer financially if you died, it' s still a must.
    65. To have your insurance checkup every year is mainly because _______.
    A. the gap in insurance coverage could cost you a large sum
    B. the gap in insurance coverage could bring you benefits
    C. some insurance agencies cover few of your policies
    D. too many insurance companies prefer to sell coverage
    66. _______ can be ignored while deciding among Medicare choices.
    A. Your necessary treatment.                   B. Your personal health at present.
    C. Your social status.                           D. Your predictable medical needs.
    67. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Workers needn' t buy personal disability coverage if their bosses offer that
    B. Insurance companies can secure the full value of private possessions
    C. Earthquake insurance can cover replacement-cost caused by the disaster
    D. Divorced or retired people may need life insurance for their dependents
    68. We can infer that demand for insurance_______.
    A. varies due to individual needs of coverage
    B. stays the same whether you are working or not
    C. increases when we move to a new place
    D. decreases if we have a large family to support

    Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one, and there are plenty of political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistribute wealth and income in the United States will be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if others are relatively poor, and since power is concentrated in the hands of the rich, public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor.
    　　As Herbert Gans has pointed out, poverty is actually functional form from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that ‘dirty’ work gets done. If there were no poor people to clean floors and empty dustbins, these jobs would have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non-poor, such as police officers, welfare workers, and government officials. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners and other workers to perform basic work while their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for low-level goods and services, such as day-old bread, rundown automobiles. Poverty legitimizes (make legal) middle-class values. To the middle class, the fate of the poor---who are supposed to lack honesty, and a taste of hard work---only confirms the desirability of qualities the poor are thought to lack. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. For example, the poor bear the pressure of unemployment and it’s their homes, not those of the wealthy, that are destroyed when a route has to be found for a new highway. It cannot be said that the wealthy keep the poor in poverty. It is just that poverty is an outcome of the American economic system, which the poor are politically powerless to influence or change.
    小题1: The best title is ________________________.
    A．Functions of PovertyB．Political Power in Poverty
    C．The Fate of the PoorD．An Unequal Society
    小题2: Poverty exists in American society because ____________.
    A．the wealthy work hard and are glad to keep it　　
    B．the majority of the non-poor are totally indifferent (not paying much attention) to it　
    C．the rich are politically powerful while the poor are politically powerless　
    D．the poor like the jobs that they’re supplied by the wealthy.
    小题3:The poor take on ‘dirty work’ ___________________.   
    A．under political pressureB．for the high pay offered
    C．as they are reasonably paidD．though ill-paid
    小题4: The author thinks that _____________________.
    A．the poor lack such desirable qualities as honesty　　
    B．the poor are not supposed to work hard　　
    C．the poor are willing to bear the costs of changeD．none of the above

    Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated（瘪掉的）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.”
    小题1:Why is Justin’s room such a mess?
    A．He always forgets to clean it.B．He shares the room with his brother.
    C．He has no time to clean it.D．He never throws anything away.
    小题2: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.
    小题3:The underlined phrase "pleaded with" means
    A．ignoredB．askedC．pushedD．Ordered
    小题4:How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
    A．Annoyed.B．Disinterested.C．Grateful.D．Angry.

    The man known as the French “ Spiderman” climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming, and six hours later another climber made the same climb.
    Alain Robert, 45, the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper, told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.
    His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Robert’s climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber.
    Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him. 
    The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station.
    Several people in the crowd shouted“jump” when he stopped part of the way to rest, but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top. Wearing red pants , black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “ Malaria(疟疾) No More”, the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building.
    “ We don’t look at him as a modern spiderman,” said James Coil, a member of the police emergency services unit. “ We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well.”
    Martin Edlund, director of “ Malaria No More”, which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria, said the climber had nothing to do with them, but they appreciated his enthusiasm.

    A. In the early morning.     B. In the late afternoon.
    C. In the evening.          D. About at noon.

    D. laughed at by the people watching him
    58. The second climber did the same thing as Robert with the purpose of_____.
    A. showing that he is as good as Robert 
    B. drawing people’s attention to global warming
    C. doing something for people’s health improvement
    D. making himself well known in the world
