Ⅳ.阅读理解
When English professor Yang Jia was younger, she dreamed of being like characters in the books she read. Yet the comparison with these characters is more than merely literary. At 29, Yang was diagnosed with macular degeneration (视网膜黄斑变性疾病), which first blurred her eyes and then led to her ultimate blindness.“Going blind was a watershed in my life. My focus shifted from outrunning others before 29 to transcending my own limits after is.”she said.
Yang now 47, won admission to Zhengzhou University when she was 15. She was called a genius by her peers and topped her class every year in university. After three years of teaching at her alma mater (母校)after graduation, Yang proceeded with her master's degree at the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Everything was smoothly sailing, but just like the Titanic, trouble comes swiftly—not only was she going blind, but her husband who once loved her very much asked for a divorce and took away their only child.“I gradually restored my confidence in the long and painful wait for blindness, and I decided to face the fact and meet the challenge.”Yang said. She taught as well as she had done before, if not better. She was not able to read books any more, but she could still listen to them by using specialized software. She even compiled a textbook for the graduate.
In 2000，Yang won the opportunity to study at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a year later she became the first blind Master in Public Administration Graduate in Harvard's history.
As the vice-chair of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Yang is happy to have the chance to contribute to promoting international exchanges for the cause of disabled people and making the cause of disabled people in China known to the world.
Yang is also a member of the National Commitee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. One of her proposals, for this year's ongoing session, is to build an online forum for these people with disadvantages, including the disabled and the elderly.
“There is always hope, as long as you don't give up，”she said in her characteristic resolute voice.

B．It took Yang three years to become the first blind Master in Harvard's history.

D．She suggested that there should be an online forum for the disabled and the elderly.
2．The main idea of the passage is “________”．
A．The adventure of a blind woman
B．How to be a successful person
C．There is always hope for a woman
D．As long as you do not give up, there is always hope
3．According to the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A．something expected happened to her
B．she did not divorce, but her husband took away their only child
C．she decided to challenge herself
D．she could not teach as well as she did before

B．She was a genius and she liked to study at senior high school.
C．She taught three years at her previous senior high school.

答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．Justin kicked the ball into his own goal.It was__________his stupidity__________we won the game.
A．thanks for；that B．on account of；which
C．owing to；which D．due to；that
[解析] 句意：Justin 把球踢进了自己的球门。就是因为他的糊涂我们才赢了比赛。这是一个强调句，故第二个空填that；due to “由于，因为”，故D项正确。
[答案] D
2．_________some people regard as a drawback is seen as a plus by many others.
A．Whether B．What
C．That D．How
[解析] 句意：一些人眼中的缺点是别人眼中的优点。从句中缺宾语，只能用B.what来引导。C.中的That 引导主语从句不做成分。
[答案] B
3．Your education will__________you to earn a good living.Work hard from now on.
A．associate B．equip
C．relate D．feed
[解析] 句意：你所受的教育会使你过上富裕的生活。从今后努力学习吧。associate “使联合(系)”；relate “适应，使相互关联”；feed “喂养，向……提供”。equip “使有能力”，符合句意。
[答案] B
4．—________it is to watch Xiao Shenyang's performance!
—So it is! Everyone present will burst into laughter.
A．What a fun B．No wonder
C．No doubt D．What fun
[解析] 考查交际用语。根据Everyone present will burst into laughter可知选D。fun是不可数名词，前面通常不用冠词。No wonder难怪；No doubt肯定地，想必。
[答案] D
5．The small fishing village has ________ into a modern city in the last thirty years.
A．extended B．existed
C．explored D．expanded
[解析] 句意：30年后，这个小渔村已扩大成了一座现代化的城市。expand扩大；extend延伸；exist存在；explore探测，探险。
[答案] D
6．I don't doubt__________the plan will be well-conceived.
A．that B．whether
C．why D．when
[解析] doubt 后可以接that，whether或if：whether 一般引导一个间接问句，所以当主语所代表的人确实不知如何选择判断时，传统上就用whether，例如：Sue has studied so much philosophy this year that she's begun to doubt whether she exists.今年苏钻研哲学下了不少功夫，现在她都开始怀疑自己是否存在了。而当doubt 用来低调表示“不相信，不信任”之意的时候，则用that，例如：I doubt that we've seen the last of that problem.我不相信我们完全解决了那个问题。另外，在否定句及疑问句中，当doubt 后的从句所作陈述被认为是真时，用that，例如本题。句意：我相信这计划会被充分领会。
[答案] A
7．Lots of waste has been dumped into the river，which has led to__________.
A．lots of fish having been killed
B．kill lots of fish
C．lots of fish being killed
D．lots of fish to kill
[解析] lead to “导致”，后接名词或动名词，可排除B项；又因此处表示“鱼被杀”，可排除D项。A项现在分词的完成时，表示已发生的动作，显然不合题意。正确的说法是：lots of fish being killed，故选C项。
[答案] C
8．At times the balance in nature is__________，resulting in a number of possibly unforeseen effects.
A．troubled B．confused
C．disturbed D．puzzled

10．—Why did you go to the wrong office?
—Well, I forgot which room I was ________ to go to.

[答案] C
11．He doesn't spend any more money on clothing than I do, but ________ he manages to look so stylish.
A．therefore B．somehow
C．furthermore D．otherwise
[解析] 句意：他在衣服上花销不比我大，但不知怎么地，他总是看上去很时尚。somehow不知怎么地；therefore因此；furthermore而且；otherwise否则。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
1．Which of the following description is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Yang Jia went to study at Harvard University in 2000.
B．It took Yang three years to become the first blind Master in Harvard's history.
C．Yang feels pleased to help promote international exchanges for the cause of disabled people.
D．She suggested that there should be an online forum for the disabled and the elderly.
[解析] 细节判断题。由文章第四段可以看出，杨佳在2000年赢得前往哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院学习的机会，一年后她成为哈佛大学历史上第一位取得公共管理硕士学位的外国盲人学生。因此B项的描述不正确，所以选B。
[答案] B
2．The main idea of the passage is “________”．
A．The adventure of a blind woman
B．How to be a successful person
C．There is always hope for a woman
D．As long as you do not give up, there is always hope
[解析] 主旨大意题。文章描述了杨佳15岁考上大学，29岁双目失明，37岁考取了哈佛大学，一年后她成为哈佛历史上首位获得MPA学位的外国盲人学生。杨佳在困境中顽强斗争，努力走出失明的阴影，最终成为了一名备受尊敬的社会活动家。事实证明了“只要你不放弃，总会有希望”。所以D项的表达最确切。

3．According to the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A．something expected happened to her
B．she did not divorce, but her husband took away their only child
C．she decided to challenge herself
D．she could not teach as well as she did before
[解析] 细节理解题。通过对文章的理解和第三段中的“just like the Titanic”可以看出，这些不幸都是意想不到的，所以A项的表述不正确。由第三段第一句中的“her husband who once loved her very much asked for a divorce and took away their only child”可知，B项的描述不正确。由第三段第二句可知，C项的表述是正确的。由第三段中的“She taught as well as she had done before, if not better.”可知，她还照常教课，即使不比之前好，至少也和从前一样好，所以D项不正确。
[答案] C
4．Which one is RIGHT according to the second paragraph?
A．Yang Jia was admitted to Zhengzhou University when she was 15.
B．She was a genius and she liked to study at senior high school.
C．She taught three years at her previous senior high school.
D．She gave up her master's degree at the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Yang, now 47, won admission to Zhengzhou University when she was 15.”可知，A项正确。由第二句“She was called a genius by her peers and topped her class every year in university.”可知，B项明显不正确。根据第三句可知，杨佳在郑州大学执教三年，所以C项不正确。根据该段最后一句中的“proceeded with her master's degree”(继续攻读她的硕士学位)可知，D项不正确。故选A。
[答案] A
5．According to the first paragraph we know that ________.
A．Yang Jia always dreams of being like English professor in the books she read
B．Yang Jia went blind at 29
C．she was blind because she fell into water by accident
D．her aim in her life is to surpass others
[解析] 细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，Yang Jia是一位English professor，所以A项不正确。由第一段第三句可知，她的眼部发生病变并因此失明，因此B项正确。由第一段第四句引号中的第一句话可知，失明成为杨佳的人生的一个分水岭，而不是她落水后失明，所以C项也不正确。由第一段第四句引号中的第二句话可以看出，29岁之前，她是努力超越别人，29岁之后，她是在超越自己，因此D项也不正确。故选B。
[答案] B

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, the holiday when many Americans eat turkey. However, people may have to pay a little more for their holiday bird this year although how much more will depend on competition between stores. ???? Production costs are going up. Turkeys are fed mainly by corn and soybean (大豆). Corn was an average of two dollars a bushel (蒲式耳,容量单位) last year. This year it was three dollars, and, at times, it even topped four dollars. The Department of Agriculture says one-quarter of the record corn crop expected this year could be used to produce ethanol (乙醇). Also, higher oil prices mean higher ???? transportation costs —another reason for costlier corn. Not only that, soybean production is down from last year. ???? Turkey producers in the United States are expected to raise two hundred and seventy-two million birds this year. That estimate is four percent higher than last year. The United States imported ten million dollars worth of live turkeys during the first half of the year and almost all of them came from Canada. During that period the United States had a five-million-dollar trade deficit (赤字) in live turkeys. ???? A turkey can be a little tricky to cook. The breast meat cooks faster than the leg meat, so if you aren’t careful, it can dry out. There are many turkey cooking suggestions on the Internet. One we found called "The World’s Best Turkey" calls for butter, two apples, a tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to prepare it.
56. All the following are reasons for the rising price of turkeys EXCEPT that ______.
A. the price of corn has risen
B. the production of soybean is down
C. the transportation costs of corn are higher ????D. the turkeys are imported from Canada
57. The underlined word "costlier" in the second paragraph probably means "______".
A. more expensive B. a larger amount of ????C. cheaper D. a smaller amount of
58. The corn price is rising probably because ______. ???? A. lots of corn is being used to produce fuel
B. most farmers don’t want to grow corn
C. farmers sell corn at higher prices ???? D. production costs are going up
59. "The World’s Best Turkey" is about_________. ???? A. how to buy a cheap turkey
B. how to find the best turkey
C. how to cook the most delicious turkey
D. where to buy the best turkey
???? ????B ???? ?
Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world at present. ???? Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, beans, fruits, garden vegetables, rice, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families harvested just enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800’s and it changed remarkably (明显地) in the following century. ???? Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive in the US. The development of improved plant varieties and chemical fertilizers (肥料) has helped double and even triple (三倍) the production of some major crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and other products animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor. ???? As farming has become less important as a way of life in the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Today’s successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting (会计), marketing and finance (金融). Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty competing.
60. We are told in the first paragraph about _________. ???? A. the history of farming
B. the importance of farming
C. the development of farming ???? D. the changes of farming
61. Which of the following describes American farming before the 19th century?
A. Farmers didn’t work hard on their farms.
B. Farmers used tractors to help them.
C. Farming was the main way of living for most people. ???? D. Farmers could supply materials to industry.
62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Traditional American farming.
B. The increase in the number of crops in the US.
C. Modern farming methods.
D. American farmers’hard work. ???? ??? ?C ????
Joan of Arc was only seventeen when she was riding at the head of the army that liberated France from the English. Sir Isaac Newton had largely discovered his famous laws by the time he was twenty-three. Henry Clay was sent to the United States Senate (参议院) at twenty-nine. Raphael painted his most important pictures at twenty-five. ???? Of course, most of us will never have the prominence of these great people. But many people feel as if they should leave more of a mark on the world. It helps to remember that there is a time for everything and everybody. Our time to bear good fruit maybe come later. In fact, we may do our best work, or find our own places later in life. ???? Colorado (科罗拉多) aspen (白杨) trees grow straight and tall. This often happens in the Rocky Mountains. After being destroyed by a forest fire, aspens are usually the first trees to return to life. They reforest an area quickly, providing shade for evergreen (常青树) trees. These evergreens grow slower, but may live many years longer than the aspens. Each tree grows in its own time. So does each person. ???? Some people come to fruition (成就) quickly, but others do greater things in their late years. If you’ve not yet come into your own, don’t worry. Do your work well and hope for your opportunity. Don’t give up, and be fairly patient. Remember, storms and disease are destructive (破坏性的), but they can also make you stronger. With proper education, you will in time enjoy a full harvest. But the time to begin is now.
63. The author uses the example of Colorado aspen trees to ______.
A. show those who come to fruition quickly are lucky
B. show they are more useful than evergreen trees
C. prove each one will do something great sooner or later ???? D. prove aspen trees are stronger than other ones
64. According to the author, if you don’t succeed now you ______.
A. should work hard and wait for your chance patiently
B. can have a good rest and then hope for chance
C. should give up trying and live a common life ???? D. can ask others to help you and encourage you
65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Everyone Has His Achievement
B. One Is Never Too Old to Do Something
C. Wait for Your Opportunity
D. Learn from Aspen Trees ?? D ???? ????Streit was an experienced safecracker who never used force —either against people or safes (保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 —from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don’t need all that much." ???? A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Streit was caught by the police. Then he was sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved Streit to the prison’s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Streit disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out. ???? Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Streit attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison." ???? In prison, Streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."
66. The underlined word "safecracker" in the first paragraph means "_________".
A. prisoner B. criminal ??C. stealer D. Robber
67. What’s the correct order of the following events? ??a. Streit was caught by German customs police.
b. Streit left a note in the bank.
c. Streit was sent to Stein Prison.
d. Streit worked in a blacksmith shop.
e. Streit escaped from prison.
A. d-b-a-c-e B. b-a-c-d-e ???? C. b-c-d-e-a D. d-b-c-e-a
68. What helped Streit escape from prison? ??A. His living alone in prison.
B. His good relations with the prison officials.
C. His cooperation with other prisoners. ??D. His working in the blacksmith shop.
69. Streit was finally caught because _______. ??A. his car was recognized by someone
B. he left a note in the bank safe
C. he was recognized by customs police ?? D. he made a phone call to his former keeper
70. Streit preferred to serve his time in Germany because _______.

When English professor Yang Jia was younger, she dreamed of being like characters in the books she read. Yet the comparison with these characters is more than merely literary. At 29, Yang was diagnosed with macular degeneration (视网膜黄斑变性疾病), which first blurred her eyes and then led to her ultimate blindness.“Going blind was a watershed in my life. My focus shifted from outrunning others before 29 to transcending my own limits after is.”she said.
Yang now 47, won admission to Zhengzhou University when she was 15. She was called a genius by her peers and topped her class every year in university. After three years of teaching at her alma mater (母校)after graduation, Yang proceeded with her master's degree at the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Everything was smoothly sailing, but just like the Titanic, trouble comes swiftly—not only was she going blind, but her husband who once loved her very much asked for a divorce and took away their only child.“I gradually restored my confidence in the long and painful wait for blindness, and I decided to face the fact and meet the challenge.”Yang said. She taught as well as she had done before, if not better. She was not able to read books any more, but she could still listen to them by using specialized software. She even compiled a textbook for the graduate.
In 2000，Yang won the opportunity to study at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a year later she became the first blind Master in Public Administration Graduate in Harvard's history.
As the vice-chair of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Yang is happy to have the chance to contribute to promoting international exchanges for the cause of disabled people and making the cause of disabled people in China known to the world.
Yang is also a member of the National Commitee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. One of her proposals, for this year's ongoing session, is to build an online forum for these people with disadvantages, including the disabled and the elderly.
“There is always hope, as long as you don't give up，”she said in her characteristic resolute voice.

1．Justin kicked the ball into his own goal.It was__________his stupidity__________we won the game.
A．thanks for；that B．on account of；which
C．owing to；which D．due to；that
[解析] 句意：Justin 把球踢进了自己的球门。就是因为他的糊涂我们才赢了比赛。这是一个强调句，故第二个空填that；due to “由于，因为”，故D项正确。
[答案] D
2．_________some people regard as a drawback is seen as a plus by many others.
A．Whether B．What
C．That D．How
[解析] 句意：一些人眼中的缺点是别人眼中的优点。从句中缺宾语，只能用B.what来引导。C.中的That 引导主语从句不做成分。
[答案] B
3．Your education will__________you to earn a good living.Work hard from now on.
A．associate B．equip
C．relate D．feed
[解析] 句意：你所受的教育会使你过上富裕的生活。从今后努力学习吧。associate “使联合(系)”；relate “适应，使相互关联”；feed “喂养，向……提供”。equip “使有能力”，符合句意。
[答案] B

6．I don't doubt__________the plan will be well-conceived.
A．that B．whether
C．why D．when
[解析] doubt 后可以接that，whether或if：whether 一般引导一个间接问句，所以当主语所代表的人确实不知如何选择判断时，传统上就用whether，例如：Sue has studied so much philosophy this year that she's begun to doubt whether she exists.今年苏钻研哲学下了不少功夫，现在她都开始怀疑自己是否存在了。而当doubt 用来低调表示“不相信，不信任”之意的时候，则用that，例如：I doubt that we've seen the last of that problem.我不相信我们完全解决了那个问题。另外，在否定句及疑问句中，当doubt 后的从句所作陈述被认为是真时，用that，例如本题。句意：我相信这计划会被充分领会。
[答案] A

B．It took Yang three years to become the first blind Master in Harvard's history.
C．Yang feels pleased to help promote international exchanges for the cause of disabled people.
D．She suggested that there should be an online forum for the disabled and the elderly.
[解析] 细节判断题。由文章第四段可以看出，杨佳在2000年赢得前往哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院学习的机会，一年后她成为哈佛大学历史上第一位取得公共管理硕士学位的外国盲人学生。因此B项的描述不正确，所以选B。
[答案] B
2．The main idea of the passage is “________”．
A．The adventure of a blind woman
B．How to be a successful person
C．There is always hope for a woman
D．As long as you do not give up, there is always hope
[解析] 主旨大意题。文章描述了杨佳15岁考上大学，29岁双目失明，37岁考取了哈佛大学，一年后她成为哈佛历史上首位获得MPA学位的外国盲人学生。杨佳在困境中顽强斗争，努力走出失明的阴影，最终成为了一名备受尊敬的社会活动家。事实证明了“只要你不放弃，总会有希望”。所以D项的表达最确切。
[答案] D
3．According to the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A．something expected happened to her
B．she did not divorce, but her husband took away their only child
C．she decided to challenge herself
D．she could not teach as well as she did before
[解析] 细节理解题。通过对文章的理解和第三段中的“just like the Titanic”可以看出，这些不幸都是意想不到的，所以A项的表述不正确。由第三段第一句中的“her husband who once loved her very much asked for a divorce and took away their only child”可知，B项的描述不正确。由第三段第二句可知，C项的表述是正确的。由第三段中的“She taught as well as she had done before, if not better.”可知，她还照常教课，即使不比之前好，至少也和从前一样好，所以D项不正确。
[答案] C
4．Which one is RIGHT according to the second paragraph?
A．Yang Jia was admitted to Zhengzhou University when she was 15.
B．She was a genius and she liked to study at senior high school.
C．She taught three years at her previous senior high school.
D．She gave up her master's degree at the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Yang, now 47, won admission to Zhengzhou University when she was 15.”可知，A项正确。由第二句“She was called a genius by her peers and topped her class every year in university.”可知，B项明显不正确。根据第三句可知，杨佳在郑州大学执教三年，所以C项不正确。根据该段最后一句中的“proceeded with her master's degree”(继续攻读她的硕士学位)可知，D项不正确。故选A。
[答案] A
5．According to the first paragraph we know that ________.
A．Yang Jia always dreams of being like English professor in the books she read
B．Yang Jia went blind at 29
C．she was blind because she fell into water by accident
D．her aim in her life is to surpass others
[解析] 细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，Yang Jia是一位English professor，所以A项不正确。由第一段第三句可知，她的眼部发生病变并因此失明，因此B项正确。由第一段第四句引号中的第一句话可知，失明成为杨佳的人生的一个分水岭，而不是她落水后失明，所以C项也不正确。由第一段第四句引号中的第二句话可以看出，29岁之前，她是努力超越别人，29岁之后，她是在超越自己，因此D项也不正确。故选B。
[答案] B

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, the holiday when many Americans eat turkey. However, people may have to pay a little more for their holiday bird this year although how much more will depend on competition between stores. ???? Production costs are going up. Turkeys are fed mainly by corn and soybean (大豆). Corn was an average of two dollars a bushel (蒲式耳,容量单位) last year. This year it was three dollars, and, at times, it even topped four dollars. The Department of Agriculture says one-quarter of the record corn crop expected this year could be used to produce ethanol (乙醇). Also, higher oil prices mean higher ???? transportation costs —another reason for costlier corn. Not only that, soybean production is down from last year. ???? Turkey producers in the United States are expected to raise two hundred and seventy-two million birds this year. That estimate is four percent higher than last year. The United States imported ten million dollars worth of live turkeys during the first half of the year and almost all of them came from Canada. During that period the United States had a five-million-dollar trade deficit (赤字) in live turkeys. ???? A turkey can be a little tricky to cook. The breast meat cooks faster than the leg meat, so if you aren’t careful, it can dry out. There are many turkey cooking suggestions on the Internet. One we found called "The World’s Best Turkey" calls for butter, two apples, a tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to prepare it.
56. All the following are reasons for the rising price of turkeys EXCEPT that ______.
A. the price of corn has risen
B. the production of soybean is down
C. the transportation costs of corn are higher ????D. the turkeys are imported from Canada
57. The underlined word "costlier" in the second paragraph probably means "______".
A. more expensive B. a larger amount of ????C. cheaper D. a smaller amount of
58. The corn price is rising probably because ______. ???? A. lots of corn is being used to produce fuel
B. most farmers don’t want to grow corn
C. farmers sell corn at higher prices ???? D. production costs are going up
59. "The World’s Best Turkey" is about_________. ???? A. how to buy a cheap turkey
B. how to find the best turkey
C. how to cook the most delicious turkey
D. where to buy the best turkey
???? ????B ???? ?
Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world at present. ???? Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, beans, fruits, garden vegetables, rice, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families harvested just enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800’s and it changed remarkably (明显地) in the following century. ???? Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive in the US. The development of improved plant varieties and chemical fertilizers (肥料) has helped double and even triple (三倍) the production of some major crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and other products animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor. ???? As farming has become less important as a way of life in the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Today’s successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting (会计), marketing and finance (金融). Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty competing.
60. We are told in the first paragraph about _________. ???? A. the history of farming
B. the importance of farming
C. the development of farming ???? D. the changes of farming
61. Which of the following describes American farming before the 19th century?
A. Farmers didn’t work hard on their farms.
B. Farmers used tractors to help them.
C. Farming was the main way of living for most people. ???? D. Farmers could supply materials to industry.
62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Traditional American farming.
B. The increase in the number of crops in the US.
C. Modern farming methods.
D. American farmers’hard work. ???? ??? ?C ????
Joan of Arc was only seventeen when she was riding at the head of the army that liberated France from the English. Sir Isaac Newton had largely discovered his famous laws by the time he was twenty-three. Henry Clay was sent to the United States Senate (参议院) at twenty-nine. Raphael painted his most important pictures at twenty-five. ???? Of course, most of us will never have the prominence of these great people. But many people feel as if they should leave more of a mark on the world. It helps to remember that there is a time for everything and everybody. Our time to bear good fruit maybe come later. In fact, we may do our best work, or find our own places later in life. ???? Colorado (科罗拉多) aspen (白杨) trees grow straight and tall. This often happens in the Rocky Mountains. After being destroyed by a forest fire, aspens are usually the first trees to return to life. They reforest an area quickly, providing shade for evergreen (常青树) trees. These evergreens grow slower, but may live many years longer than the aspens. Each tree grows in its own time. So does each person. ???? Some people come to fruition (成就) quickly, but others do greater things in their late years. If you’ve not yet come into your own, don’t worry. Do your work well and hope for your opportunity. Don’t give up, and be fairly patient. Remember, storms and disease are destructive (破坏性的), but they can also make you stronger. With proper education, you will in time enjoy a full harvest. But the time to begin is now.
63. The author uses the example of Colorado aspen trees to ______.
A. show those who come to fruition quickly are lucky
B. show they are more useful than evergreen trees
C. prove each one will do something great sooner or later ???? D. prove aspen trees are stronger than other ones
64. According to the author, if you don’t succeed now you ______.
A. should work hard and wait for your chance patiently
B. can have a good rest and then hope for chance
C. should give up trying and live a common life ???? D. can ask others to help you and encourage you
65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Everyone Has His Achievement
B. One Is Never Too Old to Do Something
C. Wait for Your Opportunity
D. Learn from Aspen Trees ?? D ???? ????Streit was an experienced safecracker who never used force —either against people or safes (保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 —from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don’t need all that much." ???? A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Streit was caught by the police. Then he was sent to Austria’s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved Streit to the prison’s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Streit disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out. ???? Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Streit attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison,"he explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison." ???? In prison, Streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I’m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn’t want to embarrass anybody by escaping. Conditions weren’t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."
66. The underlined word "safecracker" in the first paragraph means "_________".
A. prisoner B. criminal ??C. stealer D. Robber

e. Streit escaped from prison.
A. d-b-a-c-e B. b-a-c-d-e ???? C. b-c-d-e-a D. d-b-c-e-a
68. What helped Streit escape from prison? ??A. His living alone in prison.
B. His good relations with the prison officials.
C. His cooperation with other prisoners. ??D. His working in the blacksmith shop.
69. Streit was finally caught because _______. ??A. his car was recognized by someone
B. he left a note in the bank safe
C. he was recognized by customs police ?? D. he made a phone call to his former keeper
