Ⅳ.阅读理解
Besides entertainm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent and beautiful lanterns，another important part of the Lantern Festival，or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour.We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.Obviously，they get the name from the festival itself.It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century，then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.
The fillings inside ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty.Sweet fillings are made of sugar，walnuts，sesame (芝麻)，osmanthus flowers (桂花)，rose petals，sweetened tangerine (橘子) peel，bean paste，or jujube paste (枣酱)．A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling.The salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末儿)，vegetables or a mixture.
The way to make Yuan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xiao also varies between northern and southern China.The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls，make a hole，insert the filling，then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands.In North China，sweet or nut meat stuffing is the usual ingredient.The fillings are pressed into hardened cores，dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour.A layer of the flour sticks to the filling，which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour.And so it goes，like rolling a snowball，until the dumpling is the desired size.
The custom of eat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing Yuanxiao dumplings remains.This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products.They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.
1．Which of the following is NOT true

C．Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.

2．Which country does the Lantern Festival come from
A．China.
B．South Korea.
C．Jin Dynasty.
D．Tang and Song periods.
3．Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.
①make a hole and insert the filling
②roll the dough between your hands
③shape the dough of rice flour into balls
④close the hole
⑤prepare some rice flour
A．⑤③②①④ B．③⑤①②④
C．③①④②⑤ D．⑤③①④②
4．What is the best title of this passage
A．The Lantern Festival
B．The Ingredients of Yuanxiao
C．The Difference Between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan
D．China’s Traditional Food—Yuanxiao
5．Why do we eat Yuanxiao today

C．Because we love our country.

Ⅵ.阅读理解
Every year the White ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )House celebrates the day after Easter Sunday in style.The President and the First Lady throw a big party for thousands of guests—mostly kids—on the White House South Lawn and nearby.There is plenty to do at this all day affair—everything from storytelling and stage shows to art activities—and plenty to eat.But it is the egg rolling that attracts the most attention.Easter involves eggs，and the White House celebration has lots of them.Thousands of hard boiled eggs are dyed different colors，and guests go home with special wooden eggs.
Washington，D.C has be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en hosting egg parties for quite some time.Some say Dolley Madison and also Abraham Lincoln held egg rolling parties.But most people agree that the Easter Monday party got its start at the United States Capitol in the early 1870s.It moved to the White House South Lawn in 1878，when Rutherford B．Hayes was President.Two years later，it was a regular event there.
The Easter parties ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are never the same.In the late 1880s，John Philip Sousa，a famous director，started performing them.In the late 1920s，he even wrote a musical composition called “Easter Monday on the White House Lawn”．In those years，guests played Egg Ball，toss and catch or Egg Croquet (槌球戏)．Sometimes they went on an egg hunt.While egg rolling was a big part of every party，egg rolling races didn’t begin until the early 1970s.And it wasn’t until 1969 that the White House Easter Bunny was invited.He has been at every party since then.
Only a few things ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can stop the White House Easter Event.It has been cancelled because of war，weather，and work being done on the White House.But nothing seems to keep kids away from this popular public event—one of the oldest in White House history.Two years ago，more than ten thousand guests celebrated Easter and egg rolling in White House style.

D．On the day after Easter Sunday；at the National zoo.
2．When did egg rolling party become a regular event

C．In 1880. D．In the late 1920s.

4．Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following events EXCEPT ________ can stop the White House Easter Event.

Ⅲ.1.(1)However (2)but (3)however
[当however意为“然而”，表示转折的含 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )义时，与but不同。使用however时必须用逗号，使however与前后句隔开， but则不用。]
2．(1)ceremony (2)ceremony (3)ceremony；reception
[(1)ceremony指“仪式，典礼”。
(2)reception指“招待 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )会，接待会”，在结婚时，一般先举行结婚仪式“hold the ceremony”，然后再举行结婚宴会“hold the wedding reception”。]

2．A [句意为：药品价格的上涨 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是医疗费用日益增加的原因之一。contribute to是……的原因之一，符合句意。turn to转向，向……求助；get used to习惯于；come to达到(某种状态)，苏醒。]
3．A [don’t have t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o不必；oughtn’t to不应当；mustn’t禁止，不允许；can’t不可能。答语句意为：除了与父母待在一起和做你自己以外，你不必做任何事情。因此A项符合题意。]
4．D [句意为：你不必买礼物了，但是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )如果你愿意的话也可以买。本题考查情态动词。根据句意可知此处须用否定形式，故排除A、C两项；mustn’t表示禁止；don’t have to意为“不必……”。故答案为D项。]
5．A [句意为：恐怕Harding ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )先生现在不能见你，他很忙。can’t不能；mustn’t一定不要；shouldn’t不应该；needn’t不必，故选A项。]
6．B [句意为：几百年来，农 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )民一直把动植物的习性与天气变化联系在一起。refer...to...把……呈给……；link...to...把……和……联系起来；disrupt(扰乱)不与to连用；separate通常与介词from连用。]
7．B [lose job为“失业”，job只能被失去，应用被动语态；if引导的从句用一般现在时表将来，所以主句也用将来时。]
8．B [句意为：——我可以把这本书带出去吗？——恐怕不行。may可用来表示“请求、许可”。]
9．D [句意为：——你最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一次得知Jay的消息是什么时候？——今天早上他给我打电话，我们约定了见面的时间和地点。hear about/of听到有关……，听说；hear from收到……的来信；得知某人的消息；agree on sth.在……方面取得一致意见；agree to do sth.同意做某事；agree to sth.同意(计划、安排、方案等)；agree with sth./sb.同意某人(的意见)。]

Ⅵ.1.B [细节理解题。根据文章第一段前两句可知选B项。]
2．C [细节理解题。由文中第二段最后两句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )话“It moved to...in 1878，Two years later，it was a regular event there.”可知答案为C项。]
3．C [细节考查题。文章第一段第三、四 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句中的“...everything from storytelling and stage shows to art activities...But it is the egg rolling that attracts the most attention.”给出了此题的信息。C项在文中未提及。]

Dear Sally，
I’m very happy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to tell you something about our Chinese Tomb Sweeping Day.It dates back to about Zhou dynasty with a history of more than 2,500 years.The basic practice on Tomb Sweeping Day is to remember ancestors，on which everybody has his own way to express the sadness.Many people going out will put down their work，slow their feet and go back to their homes because it’s a virtue of our land to miss our ancestors on the specific day.Besides “burning money and paper”，we do something else，such as sending flowers or sweeping tombs.It is just the time of bright spring with flourishing green plants and the best time for people to have an outing，therefore，it has been a long custom to walk in the field on the Tomb Sweeping Day.

Millions of peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple crowded onto trains and buses across China on Wednesday. They were hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holiday—the Lunar New Year，or the Spring Festival.Thursday marked the end of the Year of the Pig，and the beginning of the Year of the Rat.But for a while，it looked as if severe winter weather in some regions of China would put a deep freeze on the celebrations.Due to dangerous conditions，airlines，railways and highways across the country were forced to shut down for the past few weeks.Many travelers were worried that they would not make it home for the holidays.Luckily，the crisis started winding down just in time for some roads and railways to reopen on Lunar New Year’s Eve.
More than one bil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lion people worldwide celebrate the Lunar New Year.In China，people from Beijing to Guangzhou enjoy a holiday.Businesses and government offices are closed.Many people go to temples to pray for good fortune for the future.The Lunar New Year is celebrated at the second new moon after the winter solstice (冬至)．
On Lunar New Y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear’s Eve，the Chinese celebrate with fireworks，family gatherings，and festivals.One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance.The lion is considered a holy animal.During celebrations，dancers dressed as lions (or holding up elaborate paper lions in the air) perform to bring good luck to the people they visit their homes or businesses.People often wear red，which symbolizes fire.Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck.The 15 day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers，dragon dances and visits friends and families.The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival，when brightly colored lamps are hung in parks around China.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The other day，my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party.The time printed on the invitation was 7∶30 p．m. or 8∶30 p．m. Jane went off with her husband，expecting a merry evening of wine，food，and song.
By 9∶45，everybod ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y was having great fun，but no food had appeared.Jane and David were restless.Other guests began whispering that they，too，were starving.But no one wanted to leave，just in case some food was about to appear.By 11∶00，there was still no food，and everyone was completely off_their_heads.Jane and David left hungry and angry.
Their experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suggests that the words，in the printed invitations need to be made clearer.Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently.Most of us would agree that 6∶30～8∶30 p．m. means drinks only，go out to dinner afterwards；8∶00 p．m. or 8∶30 p．m. means possible dinner, but 9∶30 p．m. and any time thereafter means no food，eat beforehand，roll up late.
But this is not alwa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys the case.If asked to a students’ party at 6∶30 p．m.，it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight，if at all，and no one cares.Being the first to arrive—looking eager—is social death.When my mother is asked to a party for 6∶30，she likes to be there，if not on time，then no later than seven.My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two，but because we still think we’re young，we’re probably closer to student time than grown up time.
The accepted c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ustom at present is confusing (混乱的)，sometimes annoying，and it often means you may go home hungry，but it does lend every party that precious element (成分) of surprise.
1．The underlined words “off their heads” probably mean ________.
A．tired B．crazy C．curious D．hopeless
2．Jane and David’s story is used to show that ________.
A．party goers usually get hungry at parties
B．party invitations can be confusing
C．people should ask for food at parties
D．birthday parties for middle aged people are dull
3．For some young peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple，arriving on time for a students’ party will probably be considered ________.
A．very difficult
B．particularly thoughtful
C．friendly and polite
D．socially unacceptable
4．According to the writer，people in their late thirties ________.
A．are likely to arrive late for a party
B．care little about the party time
C．haven’t really grown up yet
D．like surprises at parties
5．What is the general idea of the text
A．It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served.
B．It’s wise to eat something before going to a party.
C．It’s important to follow social rules of party going.
D．It’s necessary to read invitations carefully.
as soon as一……就……
1．As soon as he returned from Beijing，he began to work.
他一从北京回来就开始工作了。
2．I will tell him about it as soon as he comes back.
他一回来我就告诉他这件事。

10．C [be addicted to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )沉溺于，被迷住，为固定搭配。in front of在……前面(外部的前面)；in the front of在……前面，指在内部的前面。故排除B项。]

The little tow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n of Half Moon Bay has become the pumpkin capital of California.Each year about 6,000 tons of this unusual fruit are raised and shipped as far as Hawaii and the east coast of the United States.Yet pumpkins were first grown in the town only in 1934，when a nine year old boy planted a few seeds and grew a crop of his own.Now they are such big business that Half Moon Bay holds a pumpkin festival in fall every year and there are more than 10,000 visitors.Farmers work all summer to try to grow the biggest pumpkins in the world，and thousands of visitors come to help harvest them.
The festival i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s held at the same time with Halloween at the end of October.Children all over the country make Jack O’ lanterns (南瓜灯) out of pumpkins by emptying them，carving faces in them and putting candles inside.The insides of the pumpkins can then be used to make delicious pies.The Indians of the eastern United States had been eating pumpkins long before the first settlers arrived.But this food was not introduced in Europe until the 1500s，when the Spanish explorers brought some back from Mexico—where they were first grown some 8,000 years ago.
56．Who is the earliest of the four to eat pumpkins
A．The first settlers in America.
B．The Spanish explorers who brought some back.
C．The Indians of the eastern United States.
D．The farmers who first grew them in California.
57．When did Europeans begin eating pumpkins
A．In the 1500s.
B．About 8,000 years ago.
C．In the year 1934.
D．Before the first settlers arrived in America.
58．How long does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it take from planting the seeds to harvesting the pumpkins
A．A whole summer.
B．More than half a year.
C．Four or five months.
D．From spring to fall.

U．S. jeans maker Levi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Strauss & Co. declared，“We’re not suggesting in any way that mobile phones are dangerous.Our intention is not to make money on consumer fears but provide the consumers with what they want by starting a line of trousers with ‘anti radiation’ pockets for mobile phones.” The trousers，with a lining (衬里) which can protect against radiation，are designed by Dockers，a brand name of Levi Strauss.“The design was the fruit of extensive market research showing that the fashion conscious was also health conscious，”Jungpeter said.“The debate is open.Although no study has proven mobile phones are harmful，no study has proved the contrary either，”he added.
Worldwide studi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es into the possible dangers of mobile phones often produce conflicting conclusions.A recent one carried out by Australian researchers over a three year period showed that radio emissions from mobile phones did not cause the growth of tumors (肿瘤) in mice，and therefore probably did not do so in humans either.And another Australian study concluded cellular phones could improve tumor growth.
Swedish rese ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arch published recently concluded that long term users of first generation mobile phones faced an up to 80 percent greater risk of developing brain tumors than non users.But a Danish study last year of 400,000 mobile phone users showed no increased cancer risk.
60．The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “emissions” may have the same meaning as ________.
A．radiation B．task
C．parts of cellphone D．broadcast
61．What does the text mainly talk about
A．Cellphones with radiation.
B．A survey on a market demand.
C．Anti radiation trousers.
D．Debates on causes of cancers.
62．According to the pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssage，whether cellphone could cause tumor in humans is ________.
A．impossible
B．not certain
C．certain
D．not worth studying
63．The idea of designing anti radiation trousers comes from ________.
A．a new taste in clothing a recent survey
B．designers’ imagination lack of scientific proofs
C．the popularity of cellphones in people’s life
D．the market demand for fashion and health concern

How should one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀)？Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value，however high the interest rate is.Only a brave man，or a very rich one，dares to buy and sell on the stock market.Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past.Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks，which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life.“The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound.It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands.Men can do nothing without its permission，and it fastens its young round people’s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control.This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves.”
Whether or not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality，but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time.Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts.They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time.So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However，men quickl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time.They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun.They marked the hours on candles，used sand in hour glasses，and invented water clocks.Indeed，any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces，stately_homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks coul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d be very expensive，but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home.After all，if you are going to be ruled by time，why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit
64．According to the passage，collecting antique clocks________.
A．can hardly keep the value of your savings
B．will cost much of your savings
C．may increase your wealth
D．needs your bravery
65．By quoting (引用) t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he remark of a being from another planet，the author intends to ________.
A．suggest human beings are controlled by a clock
B．describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth
C．tell readers what clocks look like
D．compare clocks to human beings
66．The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined phrase “stately homes” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．state owned houses
B．houses in very good condition
C．grand houses open to the public
D．houses where statesmen meet regularly
67．The purpose of the passage is ________.
A．to introduce the culture of antique clocks
B．to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks
C．to compare different ways to make a future profit
D．to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
D
An Experiment
Materials：Newspaper，‘ACE’ hardware ruler (1/8” thick)，a flat table.
Purposes：We’ll sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow that there is air pressure pushing on us，from every direction while we’re on this Earth.
Procedure：
First put a t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hin ruler on a flat table with a little less than half of it hanging off the edge of the table (see the drawing on the right)．Next place a sheet of newspaper over the ruler flat against the table.Make sure to have as little air as possible under the paper so that the fold line of the newspaper is at the ruler.Then quickly strike the end of the ruler hanging off the edge of the table.If you strike it quick enough，the ruler will break near the table edge.
What’s going on
The Earth is c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )overed in a layer of air that is nearly 80 miles thick and at sea level exerts or “pushes” hard almost 15 pounds of pressure per square inch.That means that a full sheet of newspaper laid out flat has nearly 9,300 pounds of air above it.
When you break ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the ruler above，you are able to break it because of the “heavy” air pushing down on the paper while you quickly strike the ruler.At first，the table is pushing back on the paper，and if you move the ruler quick enough，other air around the edges of the paper can’t get under the paper fast enough，so you are trying to lift that 9,300 pounds with the ruler！Some air gets under the paper，but not enough，so the ruler breaks.
68．By doing the experiment，we may realize________.
A．that air exits everywhere
B．why there are directions
C．that we live with air pressure
D．how air helps on the Earth
69.How many steps are there in this experiment
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
70．The underlined word “exerts” probably means________.
A．covers completely
B．advocates actively
C．influences gradually
D．presses heavily
E
I want to let y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou know about an event that changed my life many years ago.We were living in College Station，Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston.We decided to stop at a local gas station to get something to eat since we had enough time.
When we finished， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we got back into our car and before I started it，we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building.His clothes were worn and it looked as if he didn’t have any money.It was cold and I was sure he wanted something to drink.However，it was not this that moved(感动) me.
A dog was also walki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng up to the front of the building.Being a dog lover，I noticed that the dog was a mother and that she had just had some puppies(小狗)．She was hungry and weak and I felt so bad for her.I knew if she didn’t eat soon，she and her puppies would not live on.
People walking by di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dn’t even notice her.She might not have been as pretty and clean as most，but she still deserved(值得) better.But we still did not do anything，someone else did.The homeless man，who I thought could not afford anything to eat，went back into a store and bought dog food with all the money he had.
I know that this story ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) isn’t as inspirational as most stories，but it plays a great part in our lives.You see，that was Mother’s Day weekend.And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.
71．From the passage we can know that ________.
A．the author didn’t like dogs
B．the dog was not pretty enough to be loved
C．the author wanted to help the dog but he was unable to
D．the dog and her puppies were in danger of dying of hunger
72．Which of the following moved the author
A．Most people walking by the dog didn’t notice her.
B．The homeless man wore worn clothes on the cold day.
C．The homeless man bought food for the dog with all of his money.
D．The homeless man had not any money to buy any food for himself.
73．The author did the following except that he ________.
A．had pity on the dog that was in danger
B．bought dog food with all the money he had
C．was a person who treasured dogs very much
D．went home from Houston one Sunday morning
74．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage，we know that the homeless man was ________.
A．kind and helpful B．brave and kind
C．clever and helpful D．clever and brave
75．The best title for this passage would be ________.
A．My Memory
B．My Wife and I

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Quality afte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r school programs are designed to improve academic performance，decrease youth crimes and other high risk behaviors，and help young people grow into healthy，successful adults.
The effect of quality ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) after school programs on academic performance is clear.Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits，higher rates of homework completion，improved grades，and higher scores on achievement tests.They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame.After school programs also influence high risk teen behavior.Various studies show decreased rates of crime，drug taking，and teen sex among youth who join in well run after school programs when compared to similar youth who do not.Finally，after school programs play an important role in supporting different kinds of fields of development：physical development，mental development and social development.Thus，one can safely say that after school programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is enough proof from both small and large assessments that after school programs can make a positive difference，it is important to note that not all programs are equal.First，dosage matters—young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time.Next，after school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices.Finally，program qualities matter.After school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth.They should provide opportunities，skill building meaningful involvement，expression，suggestion，service，and work.Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program.The adults should treat youth as partners，create safe and fair environment，encourage personalized involvement，and actively create learning opportunities.In short，although after school programs have a promising future，how they are designed and run matters.Title：Quality After school Programs

27．D [通过语境分析，是对方出价，故选offered。]
28．A [It couldn’t be better那就再好不过了；It’s up to you由你决定。]
29．D [it be likely that 可能……。A、C两项都是副词不能用于be之后；perhaps 无此用法。]

35．A [考查不定式的用法。句型 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sb. is/are said to have done sth.意为“据说某人做了某事”。不定式的动作在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生，故用完成时。]
36．B [一般而言，西方社会风行恋爱结婚，所以日本存在着这两种婚姻方式，the love marriage为西方人所熟悉。]
37．A [按常识，恋爱中的年轻人的约会，是他们的独立行为，不需要别人安排。]

49．B [虽然这是arranged marriage，但最终还是要这一对年轻人相互满意以后，才能再次约会，使双方的关系继续发展。]

52．B [make a decision固定搭配，且符合文意。]
53．D [从上下文看，ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ranged marriage是否成功，“决定”权在这一对年轻人，但这毕竟不是love marriage，这类arranged marriage最终还要得到父母的“认可”，体现了父母之命、媒妁之言在arranged marriage中举足轻重的作用。]

60．A [猜测词义题。emission意思是“辐射”，与radiation同义，故选A项。]
61．C [主旨大意题。本文的主要意思是介绍一种新型的，能防止辐射的牛仔裤，因此选C项。]
62．B [推理判断题。根据文章的第二、三自然段可知：手机对人类是否有辐射还不能确定，因此B项正确。]

64．C [由第一段第四、五句话可知收集antique clocks可以使财富增加。]

My Happy Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a grand and traditional festival for us Chinese people.
Before the Spring ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Festival was approaching，my parents and I were preparing for it cheerfully：houses were thoroughly cleaned and something new was purchased.On the last day of the old year，we were watching the national program—the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.Besides，I went out to set off a lot of fireworks with my cousins.To my great joy，my cellphone was ringing all the time.I received lots of short messages from my friends and classmates.They all blessed me a happy New Year.On the first day of the new year，we put on new clothes，visited our relatives and friends with some gifts and wished each other good luck in the new year.
This is how I spent my Spring Festival.I really enjoyed myself in it.
