A

   It was the final examination for physics at the college. The examination was two hours long, and exam papers were given. The professor（教授） was very strict and told the class that any exam paper which was not on his desk in two hours would be refused and the student would fail. A half hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for an exam paper.

"You're not going to have time to finish this," the professor said slowly as he gave the student a paper.

   "Yes, I will," answered the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor began to call for the exam papers, and the students stood up and put them on the professor’s desk, all except the late student, who continued writing. A half hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his desk and busy writing something. He tried to put his exam paper on the stack（摞）of the other papers already there.

   "No, you can't, I'm not going to take that in. It's late."

   The student became worried. He thought for a while, and then he asked the professor in a low voice, "Do you know WHO I am?"

   "No, surely I don't," answered the professor.

   "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" The student asked again.

   "No, and I don't care," said the professor in a louder voice.

   "Good," answered the student, who quickly lifted the stack of exam papers, put his paper in the middle, and rushed out of the room.

56. What did the professor do before the exam began?

   A. He counted the students.                   B. He told the students some rules about the exam.

   C. He wrote some papers.                            D. He said he was very strict.

57. Why did the professor say slowly to the late student?

   A. He refused to give him a paper.         B. The exam lasted two hours.

   C. He was angry with him.                    D. He did not believe he would pass the exam.

58. What do the words “call for” mean in “the professor began to call for the exam papers”?

   A. 打电话                                                 B. 收集

   C. 检查                                             D. 上交

59. Why did the student ask “Do you know who I am?” twice?

   A. He would play a joke on the professor.

   B. He wanted to frighten the professor.

   C. He was afraid that he would fail the exam.

   D. He had a plan in his mind.

60. What do you think of the professor’s attitude(态度) to the late student?

   A. He was friendly.         B. He was rough.          C. He was cold.      D. He was careless.

B

   People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
   The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.

61. In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us ___________.

   A. why his family members want to learn Chinese

   B. where you can find people to talk to for language learning

   C. the easiest thing to do is learning Chinese

   D. Chinese isn’t so hard to learn as his friends think

62. From the second paragraph we know that QQ and AIM are __________.

   A. addresses for the Internet users          B. documents you need to get online

   C. tools for people to talk online           D. programmes of a computer

63. Offices, web cafes and homes ____________.

   A. attract the most people to learn Chinese

   B. provide both QQ and AIM in China

   C. are the best places for English learners       

   D. have the most people online

64. The writer wrote this passage mainly to __________.

   A. tell a way of learning Chinese           B. show what the Chinese people are doing

   C. tell the important of learning Chinese D. show the difference between AIM and QQ

65. The writer of this passage is probably ___________.

   A. a Chinese who works abroad             B. an expert who works at home

   C. an American who works in China      D. a salesman who sells softwares

C

A. making it a bit difficult to tell who was whom

B. sending clothes to the children

C. by taking a competition

D. finding out what our children were doing

E. while I was waiting by the school gate

F. because of the cold weather         

   It was so cold yesterday evening outside      66    , like many parents waiting for their sons or daughters, with a coat under the arm      67    . We loving parents noticed the changes of the weather to come up with the idea ―     68    . Did they think it was a duty of the parents or were they grateful for what we did?

   All the lights in the teaching building were brightly on, and at 8:30 pm, the students in their school sports suits came out of the gate in twos or threes,      69     . It was not only a competition among the students, but also among the parents―it seems to me that the parents love their only child as if they loved their pet, and that they would feel happy or unhappy if the pet,    70         won a prize or fell behind. The results of their study for the students are just like the competition for the pets. Oh, poor boys and girls! Poor Dad and Mom!

D

   The strangest thing about Lhasa is the weather, probably because the city lies so high in the mountains. It can change suddenly in a very short time, and that has happened a few times in the past days. Yesterday is a good example, when we woke up at 8:00 it was cloudy but dry. Soon after it started to rain a bit at around 10:00 am. In 20 minutes it became snowy, and it was freezing cold outside. Then at around 12:00, when we just finished our visit to the Potala, the snow stopped and the clouds became thick. In an hour the temperature went up to over 20 degrees（度）and it became sunny! Later in the afternoon it became even warmer and we had drinks at an open air tea-house in the old town. At night after dinner when we wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel, it suddenly was very cold again and it started raining at 6:30. The whole day there was hardly any wind, but while waiting for the taxi at 7:00 the wind suddenly picked up. Today it's sunny again, but windy, and about 13 degrees. But the weather report that we received this morning said it would snow again.
