?????? 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Dear editor,
I’ve heard that original English books on some of our major subjects will be used next term.
It’s good news because we will learn something up –to- date from these books and improve our reading comprehension as well.
Using English textbooks is a tendency (趋势)nowadays. Some first-class universities such as Beida and Tsinghua are doing so. As a result, it will be easy and natural for students to pass the CET-4, even CET-6 of course. It may be a great challenge for some students who are poor in English, but what I’m concerned with is the possibility of carrying out this policy. As we know, it requires teachers to teach in two languages-Chinese and English.
However, some teachers in our college have not this ability, and they cannot express their ideas in English fluently. This situation makes us frustrated. When all the students are ready, what about our teachers?
Zhang Xing, Hunan

?????? A. Beida and Tsinghua will also carry it out next term
B. some students who are not good at English are against this policy
C. some major subjects will be taught mostly in English with original English books next term in the university
D. original English books will be used next term in some universities
? 52. What is the author’s concern and worry according to the letter?
?????? A. He doesn’t know whether this policy will be carried out next term.
B. Some students will not follow the teachers.
C. The university entrance examination will be harder.
D. Some teachers in his college are not fit for the new task.
? 53. According to this letter, which of the following is NOT true?
?????? A. Using English textbooks is a tendency nowadays.
B. This policy is very popular with some students at the university.
C. English will take the place of Chinese in class step by step.
D. Some teachers in the college should improve their English.

I was very disappointed not be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck change. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I wound not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

President Clinton was born in the little southern town of Hope, Arkansas, on August 19, 1946. But his name was not Bill Clinton. It was William Jefferson Blythe. His mother named him for his father, who had been killed in a car accident a few months earlier. When Bill was four years old, his mother married Roger Clinton who then legally became Bill’s father. Roger Clinton and Bill’s mother had a son, Roger Jr.
Bill Clinton studied international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington D. C. He won a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford University in Britain. There, he met other students with whom he has continued life-long friendships. One of them was Robert Reich, who was just nominated to be Secretary of Labor. After Oxford, Bill Clinton earned a law degree at Yale University.
In 1973 Bill Clinton became a law professor at the University of Arkansas, but he was too interested in politics to stay at the university. He campaigned for the House of Representatives but was defeated. In 1976, he was elected General for the state of Arkansas, the state government’s chief lawyer.
Two years later. Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas. He was defeated for re-election after his first two-year term. But he was elected Governor again in 1982. He had been re-elected to that office every two years since then.
Bill Clinton married lawyer Hillary Rodham in 1975. She kept Rodham as her last name until it became an issue during her husband’s 1980 campaign for governor. Since then, she has been known as Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Clintons have a daughter, Chelsea.

Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions the in others – Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are the biggest Sweetest Day cities. It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion (时机)which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and lonely, but also friends, relatives and fellows whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans (孤儿)and shut- ins (因病在家的人)too often felt forgotten and, thought out the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by handing out small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he handed out these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the following years, other Clevelanders began to join in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious (宗教的)feelings or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we are, in a tangible(可触之的)way.
? 62. This passage mainly discusses ____________.
?????? A. Sweetest Day’s popularity in the US
B. Sweetest Day’s history and meaning
C. Sweetest Day’s happiness of Americans
D. Sweetest Day’s celebrations in big cities
? 63. It could be inferred that Sweetest Day is based on the idea of ________.
?????? A. giving gifts to the poor
B. expressing thanks to helpful people
C. bringing happiness to someone
D. living a cheerful life by helping others
? 64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
?????? A. The exact day on which the Cleveland man’s first gift-giving happened.
B. The people who joined the Cleveland man in handing out gifts.
C. The cities in which Sweetest Day is most opular.
D. The reason why the first idea of giving gifts to the poor was thought of.
? 65. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?
?????? A. Not all the cities in the US pay much attention to Sweetest Day.
B. The popularity of Sweetest Day is spreading across the US.
C. The first Sweetest Day was for the orphaned and sick.
D. Sweetest Day is an occasion when most Americans give gifts to others.

第二节:书面表达(满分10分)
Dear Paul,
I’m glad to receive your letter. And thanks for your information about the life in your country. Just as in your country, there and differences between city life and country life in China.
Generally speaking, people in cities live a regular life. They go to work and of work at fixed time. But they bear great pressure and often feel stressed. They live a stressful and boring life. This is partly because they live in crowded cities with heavy air pollution and much noise.
On the contrary, life in the country is not so regular. Work hours are decided mainly by the work in fields. Only during busy seasons are people working hard. They go to work early in the morning and late at night with three breaks for meal. But for the most time of the year, they are relaxed. On the whole people in the country live a quiet and peaceful life in the beautiful country. There, the air is fresh and the water is clean. Trees are green and birds are singing. I prefer country life to city life.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Zhang Hua
