Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very 36 trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the 37 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too 38 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more 39 . What’s more, my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his 40 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her.
"Mom, I have a question to ask you."
"What?"
"Is there love between you and Dad?"
My mother stopped her work and 41 her head with 42 in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately.
I was very 43 because I thought I had hurt her. I was 44 a great embarrassment and I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother’s words: "Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it 45 in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can 46 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really 47 . Love is inside."
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her 48 the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the 49 for a month. When they returned from the hospital, it seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
After that, every day in the morning and 50 , my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious 51 .
The doctor had said my father would 52 in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
"Susan, don't worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet 54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our 55 . Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and concealed it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge.
Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.
Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.
Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be perspiring as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”
“No!” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “No, I must go; let me out.”
A greasy waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, soaking into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.
Just as his victim darted out the door, the grocer said, “ I reckon the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”
56. Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?
A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
B. Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.
C. Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
D. Because he didn’t want to pay for it.
57. What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?
A. The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.
B. The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.
C. The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.
D. The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.
58. What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality?
A. He wanted to make friends with Seth.
B. He wanted to be kind to him.
C. He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
D. He wanted to sell more of his goods.
59. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Great fun B. The right revenge
C. A fun-loving grocer D. A foolish customer

Pain in the neck
We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats… Well, what now… Good God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.
Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the man sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as closes you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber-neck”, always stretching his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubber-necks. They hate being spied upon.
64. Where can you find this passage?
A. Medicine dictionaries. B. Social science books.
C. Kids’ comic books. D. Science text books.
65. How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A. Ignored. B. Bored. C. Disturbed. D. Relaxed.
66. A “rubber-neck” often .
A. says bad words behind people B. quarrels face to face with neighbours
C. bargains the price with sales women D. asks about other people’s business
67. Which of the following is a “pain in the neck”?
A. Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.
B. Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.
C. Someone who throws trash out of his car window on the highway.
D. Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain on the neck.
D

Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers --- Survey
LONDON (Reuters) ----- Dealing with the dissatisfaction of aging and unreliable office computers leads to workers’ unhappiness and more sick leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.
A survey carried out by care4@free.net of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of the computer equipment.
“We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and most advanced nations,” said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It’s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,” White added.
A quarter of these using outdated computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “ very dissatisfied ” with their everyday job compared to the percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.
The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use old computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.
Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled than of men.
White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment can also be a source of worry. “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is no question about it; but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction.”
72. The underlined word “this” (paragraph 3) refers to ______.
A. workplace dissatisfaction B. computer use in most jobs
C. the aging off office computers D. the survey by care4@ free. net
73. How many office workers using old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?
A. 16% B. 25% C. 35% D. 55%
74. According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?
A. Most office workers use old computers.
B. They do some of their work with computers.
C. Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.
D. They are easier to be satisfied with new technology.
75. What is the subject of the news story?
A. Poor working conditions in offices B. Research work of the Work Foundation
C. Influence of technology in the workplace. D. People like computers very much..

One possible version:
Dear editor,
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purposes of getting on the Internet.
The girls’ favorite is chatting on the Internet, but only a few boys like doing it. What boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information or keep in touch with their friends. As for studying, the numbers of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of them will use Internet as a positive tool to study. I hope the students can focus more attention on their studies on the Internet rather than playing games or chatting.
Yours sincerely,
Sophie
