My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.
There was no 48 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned（斜靠） 49 and focused carefully on the music. 50 I came to the end of the page, a warning 51 inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!

A
Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils（化石）in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons（骨架）of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

A. have more opportunities to become successful
B. can not get the highest honors in the world
C. go through difficulties to be successful
D. had better pay more attention to their families
57. Mary Anning was one of the first women to ______.
A. win the Nobel Prize for Science after getting married
B. make achievements in the study of ancient Earth

58. Mary Anning failed to be famous for her discoveries of fossils when she was 12 because ______.
A. nobody recognized them B. they weren’t worth studying
C. she didn’t want to be known to anyone D. she sold them for money

When our second child was born, Jim and I thought she was perfect, but the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward. “Left uncorrected, it would be a problem,” he told us.
We decided to do anything we could to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts（模子）, her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.
Eventually the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward（笨拙的）steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps had appeared quite normal. Encouraged by her progress, we expected her to become much stronger.
When she turned six, we persuaded her to attend skating lessons and soon she was very good. Of course, she had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her dedication（奉献）paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pair skating and the ladies’ single skating at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events! At the World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies’ single skating. Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.
I thought back to the early years of challenge for Kristi. During those years, we didn’t expect gold medals and professional career ahead of her. We respected her strength and hard work. In our eyes, Kristi had always walked in the life with the grace（优美）of a true champion.
61. According to the first paragraph, all the followings are true EXCEPT that _________.
A. Jim is the author’s husband
B. the author’s second child is female
C. the author’s second child’s feet were normal
D. the author’s second child’s feet were unusual
62. When the author’s daughter went to preschool, ________.
A. she tried to learn to walk B. she could not walk at all
C. she walked with other’s help D. she seemed to walk normally
63. Paragraph 5 mainly tells us ____________.
A. the author’s daughter was worried about by her parents
B. the author’s daughter was hard-working and succeeded finally
C. the author’s daughter spent a lot of money in learning to skate
D. the author’s daughter was encouraged to learn to skate by her parents
64. The author’s daughter won the gold medal in the Olympic Games at the age of _______.
A. 19 B. 16 C. 18 D. 15

As parents we like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients（营养）they need. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves. Don’t say things like that, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert.” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your child new varieties of foods will help her/him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don’t work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, they will hopefully help them lean to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, celery and assemble（聚集）them in a creative way on a plate with dip for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping the vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the cooked or uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn’t lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I’ve listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you’re not just getting them to eat vegetables；you’re helping them live a healthier lifestyle.
66. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day because ________.
A. their parents like to make sure that their children are eating well
B. they can get different nutrients by eating different kinds of vegetables
C. parents like to make sure that their children are fond of eating vegetables
D. if they eat these vegetables, they can get dessert
67. According to the passage, all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT _______.
A. making vegetables much sweeter B. putting cheese on top of vegetables
C. preparing carrots in an attractive way
D. dipping vegetables in cheese sauce while eating
68. If you want your children to develop the habit of eating vegetables, you should______.
A. be very patient with them B. set an example to them
C. give dessert to them as a award D. cut vegetables into different types
69. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage
A. Children need to eat vegetables every day.
B. Parents should help children live a healthy lifestyle.
C. Sugar can make children keep a healthy diet.
D. It is necessary to think of creative ways to make children to eat vegetables.
70. The best title for this passage would probably be “_________”.
A. Vegetables Are Important for Children
B. A Lot of Children Like Eating Vegetables
C. Different Kinds of Vegetables for Children
D. How to Make Your Children Eat Vegetables
D
Does technology pose a threat to the purity of Chinese language Many Chinese use instant messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and log on the Internet using ADSL — most without knowing the literal Chinese translation of the abbreviations（缩略语）.
But they don’t have to, as many English letters have become part of the local lexicon.
A dozen abbreviations including GDP, NBA, IT, MP3, QQ, DVD and CEO are among the 5,000 most-frequently used words in the Chinese-language media last year, according to a report on the 2006 Language Situation in China, which was released yesterday in Beijing.
The report said some parents are so keen on English letters that a couple tried to name their baby “@”, claiming the character used in email addresses reflects their love for the child.
While the “@” is obviously familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word “at” to pronounce it, which with a drawn out “T” sounds something like ai ta, or “love him”, to Putonghua speakers.
The study collected more than 1 billion language samples from newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and websites. The annual report is jointly compiled（编撰）by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission.
“Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of the contemporary language,” said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China.
“The abbreviations have gained popularity because of the ease of usage,” Hou said.
For example, DNA is much simpler to use than its Chinese version tuoyang hetang hesuan.
“As more Chinese people learn foreign languages, especially English, in recent years, using abbreviations has become a trend among educated people,” she said.
Some language scholars fear such usage will pollute the purity of Chinese and cause confusion in communication.
71. MSN is a kind of ________.
A. MP4 player B. instant messenger tool
C. photography making tool D. video game software
72. The report on the Language Situation in China is ________.
A. compiled by the Ministry of Education alone B. sponsored by Sina
C. compiled every two years D. compiled every year
73. Why does the author use the example of a couple who tried to name their baby “@”
A. To show Chinese is badly polluted by English.
B. To express the writer’s love for the child.
C. To indicate “@” is a very common sign among the email users.
D. To show some parents are very enthusiastic over English letters.
74. Why are the English abbreviations becoming more and more popular
A. English is the most common language in the world.
B. Using English abbreviation is a fashion.
C. English abbreviation are good to pronounce.
D. English abbreviations are easy and simple to use.
75. ________ is the best title.
A. English abbreviations become popular in China
B. Some Language Scholars Fear the English Abbreviations
C. Language Situation in China
D. English Abbreviations May Cause Confusion in Communication

Recent studies show that many young people in the United States never finish high school. Some researchers say about fifteen to twenty percent of public school students do not complete their education. But many other experts and policymakers believe that for the past twenty years, the dropout rate has been around thirty percent. For Latino and black students, the numbers are even higher. Researchers say almost half of them leave schoo1. At the same time, almost half the states let students leave school before the age of eighteen without letting their parents know.
Finding a good job without a high school education is _________. A recent study found that almost half of all dropouts aged sixteen to twenty-four did not have a job.

The main reason why many students drop out of school is that they are failing. Many are bored with their classes or feel disconnected from their school and teachers. Some students feel that educators place low expectations on them.
There have been efforts to increase graduation rates through education reforms （改革）during the past twenty years. Some communities are working on dropout prevention programs. These include alternative（其他的）high schools to meet special needs. In addition, experts suggest “early warning systems” to help identify（识别）young school children at the risk of dropping out of high schoo1.
