Our lives are measured by the passing years and shaped by major milestones such as graduating from school, getting jobs, getting married and having children. Sometimes, however, it’s the little things that we find play an important role. Often we don’t even notice them until they change or we suddenly don’t have them anymore.
My wife and I live on the top floor of an apartment. Looking out of the bedroom window, there were no buildings as high as ours and, as a result, we never had to close our curtains at night. If I was awake in bed at night, I could look up and see the stars. I would wonder if there were planets revolving around them, and were any of those planets like ours. I’ll probably never know the answers but the questions themselves intrigue me.
Last summer, the neighbors sold the little house next door and it was bought by a developer to build a new apartment building. It will be four floors tall, the same as ours. When the new building is ready for new residents, we have to start closing our curtains at night.
Perhaps I will be able to wait until everyone else is likely to be sleeping and reopen my curtains. That’s one possible course but I really doubt we’ll do this. More likely we will close the curtains before going to bed and not reopen them until morning. That means that when I wake up in the middle of the night as usual, the room will be dark and there will be nothing to see, no view out the window of the beautiful night sky and no interesting questions to think about.
I’m sure the night sky is filled with wonders we may never actually see and probably can’t even imagine. With that mind-set I have enjoyed lying in bed in the small hours of the night and looking at the heavens and wondering. Our little town is growing as it unavoidably would but I’m going to miss the stars.
Sometimes, it’s the little things.
24．What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Trick. B．Interest. C．Shock. D．Escape.
25．What may the author do when the new building is ready for use
A．Plan to move out of the town. B．Communicate with neighbors.
C．Keep the curtains closed when sleeping. D．Appreciate the appealing night sky as usual.
26．What does the author think of the development of the little town
A．Destructive. B．Understandable. C．Beneficial. D．Meaningless.
27．What is the purpose of this text
A．To arouse readers’ interest in the star observation.
B．To state the inconvenience of living on the top floor.
C．To remind the readers of the significance of little things.
D．To complain about the damage of building construction.

Dear Laura,
How are you It has been several weeks since I heard from you. I have been missing you a lot these days, so I think I should find out how you are doing. Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. Things here are fine, though they seem to be a little boring now without you.
Since school started, I have made some new friends who are great company. But I keep remembering what a great time we had during our summer vacations. Those long rides in the woods, often shopping at the mall and our video game matches were all so much fun. Things here are a little different, and it is going to take me some time to get used to them.

However, there are some really boring science classes that I just don’t seem to enjoy. They all sound so difficult, but I have to learn them. After a few years, I am going to drop these subjects forever! The good thing is that ail the friends I’ve made feel just the same way about these science classes.
How have things been with you How about your school and all those great friends you keep talking about Did you join that guitar class you wanted to so badly Look forward to hearing from you.
By the way, Dad has bought me the latest video game controller. It is really amazing! Wait for you to come back here so that we can have some more video game matches!
Yours truly,
Aaron

Often, when you buy a computer, the laptop bag is overlooked (忽略). Most choose a laptop simply because they want to be able to transport it from place to place. 36 Because it not only protects the computer from dirt or damage, it can also be used to carry other laptop parts, such as spare batteries and a computer mouse.
The first thing to consider when choosing the best laptop bag is what style of bag you may want. The most common styles are the briefcase (公文包) and the backpack. 37 The briefcase gives a sense of professionalism while the backpack may be easier to carry much of the time.
A laptop bag should have both a computer sleeve along with several separate sections. The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving too much in the bag. The sections are good for storage of documents and other things. 38
Another thing when you buy a laptop bag is making sure it is strongly sewed and has a solid bottom. These two things will make your bag much stronger. 39 For example, it may last just a few months before you have to buy a new one. However, if made properly, laptop bags can last five or more years.
40 Buying a cloth bag may be a cheaper option, but leather bags are generally made better. Besides, leather offers a natural barrier to water when the computer is transported through rain or snow.
A．Obviously, the former is more important.
B．Each one has their own advantages.
C．Materials also make a difference.
D．You will benefit a lot from a good laptop bag.
E．There are many choices when you choose laptop bags.
F．So documents won’t rub up against the computer.
G．Choosing a cheap bag could reduce the life of the bag.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociably outstanding people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously expected the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to callout names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

66．Dear Martin,
How is everything going with you these days I would like to invite you to take part in the “Build Beautiful Countryside” voluntary activity.
In this activity, not only will we gather rubbish from the river but we are also expected to plant some flowers along the road. In addition, what needs to be emphasized is that it is scheduled to be held on Sunday afternoon in the countryside in the south of our city. I have the idea that you will know more of Chinese traditional countryside and realize the importance of environmental protection, which, without doubt, requires joint efforts.
Looking forward to your participation.
Yours,

67．I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why... ” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them ” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.
As I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat, I could hear the laughter from my friends. I sat down and we started research. Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. I was given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions in later years. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Also, I was always genuinely happy to see them. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment. We should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.

Hello everybody. Today I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon. John was born on April 26th, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France, where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful. And he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he realy enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.
