Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 16 tuition for my brother and me. They don’t 17 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 19 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 20 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 22 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a 23 , then love should be a thread. It can 24 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next 26 . At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 27, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 28 on the country road. My father had never been so 29 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 30 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 31 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,” he said gently, “to tell you the truth, I just like 32 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33 his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.

A
What should you think about in trying to find your career（职业）? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any special strong or weak subjects but your records may show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions, and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs（拇指） when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures, it is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for example, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead, recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
36. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?
A. Using school performance to help to choose a career.
B. The importance of doing well at school.
C. The importance of being good at all subjects.
D. The direct value of school work.
37. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _____.
A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study
B. helpful for his future work
C. a good way to make money
D. a good way to find out his weak points
38. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he _____.
A. will be a complete failure in his future work
B. will not be able to find a suitable job
C. will regret not having worked harder at school
D. may do well in his future work, too
39. The whole passage centers on _______.
A. picking out one’s strong and weak points
B. requiring knowledge by working hard at school
C. choosing a career according to what one is good at
D. developing one’s useful abilities through school work
B
People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources.
B. Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water.
C. Reducing the Word Population.
D. Saving the Babies of 1991.
41. What does the author mean by “the problems of the baby class of 1991”?
A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.
B. Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.
C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.
D. The problems caused by babies born in 1991.
42. This short passage is probably taken from ______.
A. a news report B. a guide to the world
C. an article by a medical worker D. a government report
43. Which of the following is not mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
A. Officials B. Industrialists C. Businessmen D. Scientists

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Ling Ling. I’m a girl student of eighteen in Beijing Yingcai Senior High School now. At six, I began to study at primary school and six years later, I went to junior high school. Now I have been studying here for three years and always doing well in all my subjects. I like English best, so I often practice English with Mr. Brown, my English teacher from America. I’m so good at English that I have won many prizes in English competitions. Now having read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain as well as The Old Man And The Sea by Hemingway in original, I find myself interested in American literature and hope to be admitted to advance my study of American literature at your university. Thank you!
Yours,
Ling Ling

Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 16 tuition for my brother and me. They don’t 17 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 19 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 20 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 22 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a 23 , then love should be a thread. It can 24 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,” he said gently, “to tell you the truth, I just like 32 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33 his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.

What should you think about in trying to find your career（职业）? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any special strong or weak subjects but your records may show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions, and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs（拇指） when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures, it is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for example, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead, recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
36. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?
A. Using school performance to help to choose a career.

A. will be a complete failure in his future work
B. will not be able to find a suitable job
C. will regret not having worked harder at school
D. may do well in his future work, too

People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources.
B. Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water.
C. Reducing the Word Population.
D. Saving the Babies of 1991.
41. What does the author mean by “the problems of the baby class of 1991”?
A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.
B. Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.
C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.
D. The problems caused by babies born in 1991.
42. This short passage is probably taken from ______.
A. a news report B. a guide to the world
C. an article by a medical worker D. a government report
43. Which of the following is not mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
A. Officials B. Industrialists C. Businessmen D. Scientists

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Ling Ling. I’m a girl student of eighteen in Beijing Yingcai Senior High School now. At six, I began to study at primary school and six years later, I went to junior high school. Now I have been studying here for three years and always doing well in all my subjects. I like English best, so I often practice English with Mr. Brown, my English teacher from America. I’m so good at English that I have won many prizes in English competitions. Now having read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain as well as The Old Man And The Sea by Hemingway in original, I find myself interested in American literature and hope to be admitted to advance my study of American literature at your university. Thank you!
Yours,
Ling Ling
