     Grandpa Nybakken loved life-especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times,
his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, "Oh,
forevermore!" But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on
him, and grandpa wasn't laughing.
     Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes
his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to
find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back
to the church.His search proved fruitless.
     Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and
fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for
those glasses that very morning.
     "It's not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration. "I've been very faithful in giving of my time
and money to your work, and now this."
     Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States.He wanted
to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's
small church in Chicago.Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation
(教堂会众).
     "But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year."
     "Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses.Along with not being
able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer
about this.Then your boxes arrived.When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses
lying on the top." After a long pause, he continued, "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though
they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!"
     The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses.But the director surely must have confused their
church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.
     But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the
Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

1. Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage?

A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.
B. He had a large family to support.
C. He was a carpenter working in the church.
D. He was a loyal Christian.

2. The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because ________.

A. Grandpa didn't tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses
B. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it
C. the director could not get such glasses in their own country
D. the glasses were not included in the donation list

3. Who does "the Master Carpenter" in the last paragraph probably refer to?

A. Grandpa's master.
B. One of Grandpa's friends.
C. God.
D. Grandpa's co-worker.

4. Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Grandfather's life

　　Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn't say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

　　“I'm going to cut off these flowers. They're getting old and ugly. So I'll cut them off…”

　　The needle on the machine climbed quickly from zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.

　　“No, no!” he cried.“I won't cut you. You're my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I'll take you outside, into the sunshine. You'll like that, won't you?”

　　The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

　　All plants enjoy their owner's love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people's thoughts. So if you have flowers of your own, think about them with love. They will return your kindness in the only way they can: they will grow strong and beautiful.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者)landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”—a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designed a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
36.. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” ____.
A. knew so much about the earth
B. understand their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology
37.. What does the underlined word “it ”(paragraph 2)refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.
B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. meeting the “moon people ”again.
D. Traveling to outer space.
38.. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
39.. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities-cities of the future
B. Space travel with H.G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up

“It is what?” the man asked，naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen．But the following week she received a call．It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name，” said the public relations man who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn't wait to meet the brave girl bearing it．”

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．

The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授权）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．

We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?

Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?

Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．

Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．

56．This passage is probably from ________．

A．a magazine B．a newspaper

C．a text book D．a radio program

57．This passage is mainly about ________．

A．how to get an American education online

59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?

A．Ask the members of CHEA． B．Go on the website of chea.org．

C．Ask Michael Lambert for help． D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．

60 According to Michael Lambert，________．
