    Even after several weeks, every time I read this little story I start to cry:
    My sister-in-law teaches physically and mentally handicapped children at a private school in Brooklyn. She recently   21   a Special Olympics and went to the starting line of the 100-metre dash with six   22   contestants.
    As the starting whistle sounded, a boy tripped, fell and began to cry. All the other   23  stopped, turned and went back to help. Then they all   24   hands and went on to the finish line together. Needless to say, everyone in the stands   25  .
    Why am I so moved? There are tears of joy   26   with tears of sadness. Tears of joy, just for the   27   friendship, selflessness and love embodied (体现) by these children. Tears of sadness, just for how   28   from such behavior we adults have wandered. Wouldn’t it be nice if, at least once in a while, we could pause in our race for money and power; turn around to see the   29   of those we have left behind; go back and   30   these less able ones to their feet; and then walk forward together with them, arm in arm.

    Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that's because you don't know how to select the perfect sch
    edule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times.
    First, you must find the right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received A's after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject.
    Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners” and “Rock Music of the 1950s”.
    Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects, you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you're one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera(肥皂剧) fan.
    Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register(注册) early. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn't register at 7:00 am, you may still be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of back-up courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.
    By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity.
    1.Which of the following statements is true?
    A.You can get copies of tests if you are willing to pay the price.
    B.“Rock Music of the 1950s” may be an easy course.
    C.It is difficult to pick the perfect class schedule.
    D.Attendance is required in all classes. 
    2.You should  ________ .
    A.register for classes in the morning if you get up early
    B.have classes late in the morning if you stay up late
    C.sign up for afternoon classes if you want to see soap operas 
    D.choose classes in the evening if you want to watch old films 
    3.If a course happens to be closed, you should  ________ .
    A.register at 7:00 am               B.sit in on the class anyway
    C.register for a back up course      D.get help from the professor 
    4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A.Course Registration Made Easy         B.How to Find the Right Courses 
    C.Classes and After?class Activities     D.How to Pick the Perfect Schedule

    Most rain forests lie close to the equator(赤道),where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine.The warmth of the land heats the air above,causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain.The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year.This wet,warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow,so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round.The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate.They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves.The wet air then forms clouds,which hang over the treetops like smoke.These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts,keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.
    Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm,but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls.Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins.Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.
    Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains.It is often called the “cloud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.
    The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees.Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.When the fruits are eaten,the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and are passed out in their droppings.The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.
    小题1:The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _______.
    A．mild,wet and windyB．hot,rainy and foggy
    C．hot,wet and cloudyD．warm,wet and sunny
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that _______.
    A．tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest
    B．there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains
    C．clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow
    D．the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees
    小题3:According to the passage,_______ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.
    A．animalsB．droppingsC．fruitsD．winds
    小题4:This passage is most likely to be found in _______.
    A．a travel guideB．a story book
    C．a technical reportD．a geography book

    　　Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.
    　　Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.
    　　Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
    　　Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
    　　This does not only mean that the villagers? sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.
    63. The purpose that the writer wrote this article for is ____ .
    　A. to tell people that trees are very useful to man
    　B. to warn people not to cut down trees any more
    　C. to warn that man mustn't destroy forests any more
    　D. to explain how trees help to prevent drought and floods
    64. In the writer's opinion, ____ , or the forests slowly disappear.
    　A. measure must be taken                      B. people shouldn't draw benefit from the tree
    　C. government must realize the serious results      D. unless trees never be cut down
    65. According to the article we know it is ____ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing.
    　A. necessary but impossible                    B. necessary but difficult
    　C. impossible and unimportant                  D. difficult and impossible
    66. In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that ____ .
    　A. where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor
    　B. where there are many trees, there are fewer floods
    　C. where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly
    　D. floods will make the land become desert

    Indians Refuse Higher Education
    On June 17,1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations． The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College． In letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
    We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you． We are certain that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you heartily． But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours． We have had some experience of it． Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces:
    They were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad manners, and they knew little of every means of living in the woods．．． they were totally good for nothing．
    We are, however, not the less obliged for your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them．
    59．The passage is about _______．

    阅读下面短文，简要回答问题。
    Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans eat often. The word also has another meaning in English. It is used to describe something—usually something someone says—that is false or wrong or foolish.
    Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian city, Bologna. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked, spiced meat from cows and pigs. But, boloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone.
    Some language experts think this different taste is responsible for the birth of the expression baloney. Baloney is an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth...in the same way that baloney sausage tastes nothing like the meat that is used to make it.
    Baloney is a word often used by politicians to describe the ideas of their opponents.
    The expression has been used for years. Fifty years ago, a former governor of New York State, Alfred Smith, criticized some claims by President Franklin Roosevelt about the successes of the Roosevelt administration. Smith said, “No matter how thin you slice it, it is still baloney.”
    A similar word has almost the same meaning as baloney. It even sounds almost the same. The word is blarney. It began in Ireland about 1600.
    The lord of Blarney castle, near Cork, agreed to surrender the castle to British troops. But he kept making excuses for postponing the surrender. And, he made them sound like very good excuses, “this is just more of the same blarney.”
    The Irish castle now is famous for its Blarney stone. Kissing the stone is thought to give a person special powers of speech. One who has kissed the Blarney stone, so the story goes, can speak words of praise so smoothly and sweetly that you believe them, even when you know they are false.
    73.小题1:Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “baloney”.
                                                                      
    74.小题2:According to Americans, what does baloney refer to? (回答词数不超过8个)
                                                                      
    75.小题3:What do you know about the lord of Blarney castle, near Cork?  (回答词数不超过6个)

    Right is right. Right? Of course. But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands). So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinister”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil” (very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isn’t much of an improvement over “evil”.
    Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.
    People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.
    小题1:What does the passage lead us to believe when one writes?
    A．He can only use his right hand.
    B．He can only use his left hand.
    C．He can use either his left hand or his right hand.
    D．He can use both his left hand and his right hand.
    小题2:The last sentence of this article means ________.
    A．Fair-minded right-handed people want to change the habit of the left-handed people
    B．Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to help the left-handed people
    C．Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to use left hand to write and so on
    D．Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to give up using their left hands
    小题3: After we read the article we can certainly know that _______.
    A．left-handed people have been treated poorly
    B．the number of the left-handed people is larger than that of right-handed people
    C．right-handed people are much cleverer than left-handed people
    D．left-handed people are less smart but hardworking
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT right, according to the article?
    A．At one time, left-handed people were forced to use their right hands.
    B．Left-handed people today are being treated better than those in the past.
    C．There are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people today.
    D．“Dexterous” comes from Latin, means “evil” and English “sinister” means “handy”.
