Dear Alan,
Guess what I ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve a chance to choose my new place to live in! I’m excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help
I’m not sure whet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can’t live with someone who is loud and messy. I don’t have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Love,
Victor

No one knows exactl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )azz pioneers Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) born musician. He was not only talented but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”

Liverpool city council (地方议会) want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as “robops” - will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.
59．Pigeons in Liverpool get fat because they eat ________ .
A．birds B．seeds C．insects D．high-fat junk food
60．What do Liverpool city council try to do
A．They want the pigeons to move out of the city centre.

Life comes in a packag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays an important role on our life. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment (满足). Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our thankfulness to God for bestowing (赠与; 授与) success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
62. In which section can readers probably read the passage
A. Opinions. B. Politics. C. Education. D. Lifestyles.
63. How is the passage organized
A. In order of rules.
B. In order of frequency.
C. By making comparison.
D. In order of importance.
64. What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage
A. If you work hard today, you’ll have a better life in the future.
B. When choosing b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etween “today” and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow better.
C. What you only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow.
D. Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice.
65. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To encourage people to love each other.
B. To tell people how to deal with happiness and sorrow.
C. To remind people of keeping having a beautiful dream.
D. To give reader some information about life.

66 .You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 67 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. 68 .Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 69 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

One possible version
Last Sunday, May 19, all 25 members of our school bicycle club including myself went on a wonderful trip. We gathered at the school gate at 745 am, and set off at 800. After arriving at the botanic garden at 900 am, we explored the park’s amazing collection of rare and precious plants, which broadened our understanding of nature. Then we spent half an hour riding to the reservoir, where we enjoyed picnic lunch and some fishing. Through these activities, not only did we get closer to the nature and breathe fresh air, but we also strengthened our awareness of protecting the environment.
