A. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
Fifty years ago, Noreen Wake left American University. She had loved singing in the choir, learned to swim in the pool and spent long days in the library studying.
But she couldn’t get her mind around algebra (代数)—the Maths that she had studied before in public housing and that was meant for business, the work of accounting. She left American University because of money and her poor grades.
She always planned to come back.
She went to work for the government and, over the years, married and had children, taught at a Sunday school, travelled abroad for the US Agency for International Affairs and other jobs, struggled against heart attacks, and helped poor children in the city.
Finally, in 1995, she started taking classes again. Maths was a horror, still, but this time she attacked it: she got a tutor (私人老师). She designed the major she wanted, a mixture of education, cultures and religion (宗教), just the thing for the job she had always wanted. Her mother died, and then her husband. She had to take time off, twice, for an operation, and sometimes she felt so weak that she would sleep in her car between classes.
Ten years later, Noreen Wake did it: she graduated from American University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, a couple of weeks before her 69th birthday.
( ) 69. Wake loved learning so many things in the university except _________.
A. swimming B. singing C. art D. algebra
( ) 70. If Wake continued to learn algebra, she might become _________.
A. a teacher in a school
B. a nurse in a hospital
C. a clerk in a bank
D. a doctor in a hospital
( ) 71. Wake decided to give up her study in American University because _________.
A. she couldn’t afford her education
B. she was not satisfied with her poor marks
C. she had no interest in it

( ) 72. The underlined phrase “take ... off” means _________.
A. to leave the ground and begin to fly
B. to have a period of time as a break from work
C. to remove something from one’s body
D. to become popular or successful very quickly or suddenly
( ) 73. It took Wake _________ to receive a degree from American University after she started taking classes again.
A. 10 years B. 50 years C. 40 years D. 60 years
( ) 74. The fourth paragraph describes _________.
A. her hard work experience
B. her hard learning experience
C. her unhappy family life
D. her hard experience as a mother
