第一节：阅读下列文章,根据文章内容,从文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers most polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult so we picnicked almost every day.

The following day after our arrival was Turkey’s Children’s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children and he often said, “Children are a new beginning of tomorrow”. He even dedicated the day 23rd of April to the children. Today, it is celebrated as Children’s Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded.

On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what’s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president sit next to him. There are a very large number of things you can do but some shops aren’t open because they are celebrating as well.

All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous spirit!

Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

   Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120．She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her. 

   So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips(窍门). She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115．However, until recently she drank two glassed of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86．

   A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:

Sorry, I’m still alive!

69．How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?

       A. She is miserable and unhappy.       

B. She is cheerful and humorous.

       C. She would like to live much longer.      

D. She feels she is going to die very soon.

70．Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to _______.

       A. smoking only a little every day

       B. her giving up smoking and drinking

       C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day

       D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises

71．Which of the following could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?

       A. deal    B．trick  C．march      D．sport

72．Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?

       A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.

       B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.

       C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

       D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.
