    When I was quite young, I discovered that somewhere inside the telephone lived an amazing
    person - "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know.　
    One day while my mother was out, I hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but
    there was no one home to give me any sympathy. I walked around the house, finally arriving at the telephone! Quickly, I called “Information Please" and told her what happened.  She told me to open the icebox and hold a little piece of ice to my finger.
    After that, I called "Information Please" for everything. When my pet bird died, I told
    "Information Please" the sad story. She tried to comfort me, she said quietly, "Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in." Somehow I felt better. Another day I was on the telephone, “How do you spell ‘grateful’? ". All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was 9, we moved to Boston.
    A few years later, on my way to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about half an
    hour or so between planes. Without thinking, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information, please."    　　
    Surprisingly, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well, "Information." I hadn't planned on
    this but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell ‘grateful’?"  
    There was a long pause. Then came the soft-spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have
    healed by now."   I laughed. "So it's really still you," I said, "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time."  I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and asked if I could call her again. "Please do," she said, "Just ask for Sally."　　
    Three months later I was back in Seattle. A different voice answered me. I was told that Sally
    passed away five weeks before.   　　
    Before I could hang up she told me that Sally left a message for me—“Tell him I still say
    there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean.”  I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.
    Never underestimate the impression you may make on others. Whose life have you touched
    today?　
    59. What does “Information, Please” refer to in the passage?
    A. An amazing girl.
    B. A special kind of telephone.
    C. A communication system.
    D. A service that helps telephone users.
    60. What happened to the little boy one day when he was at home alone? 
    A. He was amused by the telephone.
    B. He hurt his finger with a hammer.
    C. He found an amazing telephone.
    D. He got a piece of ice from an icebox.
    61. What did “Information, Please” give the little boy whenever he was in trouble? 
    A. Information and conversation.
    B. Good memories and happiness.
    C. Sympathy and information.
    D. Friendship and cheers.
    62. When did the author get in touch with “Information, Please” again after he moved to
    Boston?  
    A. When he was in trouble on his way to college.
    B. When his plane stopped in Seattle for half an hour.
    C. When he went back to Seattle to visit his sister.
    D. Three months later after he moved to Boston.

    As the bus came near the Mile, a  40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your  41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your  42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and  43 the person next to you.”

    C
    When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
    A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
    The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First, don’t’ let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong – even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
    64. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Easy Ways to Make Friends            B. Ups and Downs in Friendship
    C. How to Mend a Troubled Friendship      D. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends
    65. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _______.
    A. who has been mistaken for another        B. who has been blamed unfairly
    C. who has treated friends badly             D. who has admitted his mistakes
    66. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _______.
    A. we have much in common              B. we know our friends’ mistakes
    C. we treat our disagreements wisely      D. we have know one another for long
    67. What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?

    第三部分: 阅读理解（共20题，每题2分，满分40分）
    A
    It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
    It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.
    For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
    When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success, if you ask before you really start doing it.
    Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble—— it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
    Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.
    If you plan to control your life, you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
    56. _______ are to blame for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to this article.
    A. Parents                           B. Young people
    C. Neither parents nor their children      D. Both parents and their children
    57. This article is particularly written for__________
    A. parents                          B. both parents and their children
    C. young people                     D. teachers
    58. According to the text, young people tend to__________.
    A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything
    B. do things without thinking carefully ahead
    C. be very strict with themselves           
    D. think in the same way as their parents do
    59. Older people tend to__________.
    A. remember how they themselves felt when they were young
    B. act on the spot without thinking very carefully
    C. plan things before they act               
    D. ask for advice from others
    60. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their own way, because ___.
    A. they want to make their parents angry           
    B. they try to get their parents into trouble
    C. they want to try on something new and look different from the older people
    D. they know they are cleverer than the older people
    61. According to the text , young people want to make a new culture of their own, because ___.
    A. they don't feel they belong to the world of the older people
    B. they do not want to get into trouble
    C. they feel they are cleverer than the older people
    D. they want to show they have grown up

    One day, four lawyers were riding their horses along a country road. There had been a rain. Water was dripping(滴) from the trees, and the grass was wet. They rode slowly, talking and laughing. Suddenly they heard some noises from the tree above them. “What is the matter?” asked the first lawyer. “Oh, it’s only some old birds!” said the second lawyer. “The storm made one of the babies fall out of the nest. It is too young to fly, and the mother bird is very worried.” “What a pity! It’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer. “It doesn’t matter. It’s only a bird,” said the second lawyer. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and took the little one in his big warm hands.
    “Never mind, my little fellow,” said Mr. Lincoln. “I will put you back in your little nest.” He climbed up the tree and put the bird softly into their warm little home. A few minutes later, Mr. Lincoln joined them again. His shoes were covered with mud and he was wet. Then the other three laughed at him. They thought it was foolish for a strong man to do so much just for a young bird. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I could not sleep tonight if I had left the helpless bird in the grass.” Later Abraham Lincoln became very famous as a lawyer. He also became the president of America. He was one of the greatest American presidents.

    D
    A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.
    　　One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
    　　In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
    　　Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.
    　　No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
    69. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ____________.
    A. the generation gap suddenly appeared
    B. the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
    C. people can reduce the generation gap
    D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
    70. The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means ____________.
    A. on all sides     B. near               C. in every direction   D. in existence
    71. In American society, young people often ____________.
    A. depend on their parents to make a life
    B. stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
    C. seek the best advice from their parents
    D. have very little in common with their parents
    72. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A. Parents should be strict with their children.
    B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.
    C. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
    D. The generation gap does not exist in American society.

    Why People Get Tattoos

    Jack lay, quiet and unmoving, for thirty minutes while a stranger
    repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour
    steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had
    recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he
    decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media
    influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for
    wearing tattoos today.
    The desire to be accepted by one’s friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand – name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, that person in more likely to do the same thing.
    The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images(人物，图像) show tattoos－people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
    Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings－in other words, to show their individuality(个性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.
    As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform, a sign of fashion. or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.
    63．Jack has got tattoos in order to           .
    A．show his great bravery                         B．gain a special experience
    C．make himself more healthy                   D．be different from others
    64．According to the passage, media images are linked to         .
