On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 46 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 47 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 48 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 49 with lots of unexpected challenges.

As 56 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 57 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 58 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 59 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 60 in bed living happily and 61 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 62 we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 63 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 64 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you 65 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

A
For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then from across the street someone came walking.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly，but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing(楼梯平台). She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.
66. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that ______.
A. a woman was driving the car B. someone was standing by a street lamp.
C. a man and a woman were walking up the street.
D. a woman was walking by herself up the street.
67. After the woman closed the front door, she ___________.
A. looked round quickly B. started breathing again
C. rested before moving D. walked straight towards the front door
68. When she was upstairs, the woman _______.
A. saw that there was a wash-basin in each room
B. noticed a mirror which she was looking for
C. found a torch in one of the rooms D. opened four different doors

A. might be in the kitchen B. was more likely to be upstairs

Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high. ??? There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing —very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock. ???? Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.

Many plants may survive in deserts when___________. ?A. the rain is spread out in a year????? ?B. the rain falls only in a few weeks ?C. there is little rain in a year???????? ?D. it is dry all the year round 75. Sand dunes are formed when___________. ?A. sand piles up gradually???????????? ?B. there is plenty of rain in a year ?C. the sea has dried up over the years??? ?D. pieces of rock get smaller 76.

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful — I found the old news pictures really interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so called “reality programmes”.I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
78. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
79. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
80. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
81. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then. B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone. D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.

T-shirts out; uniforms in
School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes,for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
82. In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means .
A. tasks B. messages C. differences D. advantages
83. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general .
A. prevent the wearers from being laughed at
B. help the wearers keep their duties in mind
C. are seen as a symbol of power
D. help to create social barriers
84. Some people are against school uniforms because .
A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
B. they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
C. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
D. they think that school uniforms are too popular
85. The author would probably agree that .
A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B. students’ individuality may not come from school education
C. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D. school uniforms help to create equality among students

One possible version:
A healthy diet and regular exercise may help to prevent obesity(肥胖) among children. Take Li Ming for example.
Li Ming used to be a healthy boy, but over a year ago, into the habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. Besides, he spent a lot of time lying on the sofa, watching TV, and did little exercise. As a result, he put on so much weight that he found it difficult to climb the stairs.
So Li Ming decided to change the unhealthy life style. He began to have a balanced, healthy diet. He also took part in various sports activities such as swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Months later, Li Ming became as fit as before.

She was born on 27 August, 1910 in what is now Skopje, Macedonia, and was loved and worshipped (崇拜)in India. She was given the highest honor as Gandi by the government of India. It is reported that after she died, about 400 important figures including queen, presidents, prime ministers and the former First Lady Hillary Clinton came to pay final
