Sam was a fifteen-year-old boy living with his little sister, Julie. Their parents had passed away long ago. Sam had taken care of Julie by himself.
One day, Sam woke up at three in the morning as usual. When Julie was sleeping alone, Sam left their little house to send newspapers. When he found an old man sitting in front of their house, Sam was so surprised that he stopped to look at him closely. It was an icy morning and he looked very cold.
The poor old man didn’t have anything to cover himself with. Sam went into his house to get the old man a blanket. However, there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his father’s coat. It was the only thing of his father’s that he had left.

I hope it fits you well.＂ He put the note in a pocket of the coat, and covered the old man with the coat. Then he went to work. When he came back three hours later, both the man and the coat were gone. Sam thought that it was the best thing he could have done with his father’s coat.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even languages and mathematics need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
41. People with little education usually ________.
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years choosing jobs D. have fewer chances to get a good job
42. One of the earliest reasons of education was probably to ________.
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
43. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
44. It is expected that educated people will be able to ________.
A. accept education as a way of living B. take an interest in the world
C. develop their abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and mathematics
45. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

六、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）(不超过15个词。)
Cats or Dogs! These can be fighting words depending on who you’re talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog people prefer dogs and think they are “man’s best friends”, while cat people like cats because they think they are elegant and independent. Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other.
Dogs seem to be winning the battle. An Associated Press poll（民意调查）in 2018 showed that people in the US liked dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs “a lot” but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper on China’s Pet Industry also showed that there were around 11 million more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more attention online. There are even some new slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as “masters”（“喵主子”）online, while the dog owners are “servants who clean their masters’ feces”（“铲屎官”）. Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting”（“云吸猫”）, which refers to viewing pictures and videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But since cats are mainly indoor animals, they are more likely to stay at home. The internet has become a virtual（虚拟的）“cat park” for cat owners.
But it doesn’t really matter if you prefer cats or dogs. Having a connection with any animal can make us feel good.
66. What are cats like in cat people’s eyes
67. What could we know from the 2018 White Paper on China’s Pet Industry
68. How do people do something called “cloud cat petting”
69. According to The Guardian, what might be the difference between dogs and cats
70. Do you like keeping a cat or a dog as your pet Why （言之有理即可）
七、缺词填空（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）
As we grow up, we gradually have a set of our own values. They are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it is not easy to c 71 later in life. According to our different values, financial（金融的）experts put us in t 72 groups. They are the ant, the cricket（蟋蟀）and the snail（蜗牛）.
The ant—work first.
Just like ants who work very hard in summer in order to store food for w 73 , these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work h 74 and save money. They will have enough money to enjoy life when they get old.
The cricket—f 75 first.
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even b 76 money when they really want something but they are short of money. Many young people now are in this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have no money to live c 77 . They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail—living under pressure.
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for t 78 . They take big long-term loans（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as expensive houses. Sometimes they can’t afford it. This can cause p 79 in the future. They should plan more c 80 .
