My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages by the telephone for a well-known company. One day, I was get through to a man who sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal pitch (音高), expecting to hear the normal reply —"I don’t want any."
Instead, he spoke in a faint, weak voice and told me how he wished to take a vacation I was offering, but he couldn’t because he was dying of illness. He explained how he was lacking in oxygen then, and it took almost all his energy to answer the call. He asked if I smoked, which I did, and begged me to stop. He told me smoking was what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them how much I love them. At this point, I couldn’t control myself. We ended the call, but I held on my phone to prevent another call coming in so I could collect myself.
I wrote down his name and address, and sent him a card appreciating his advice and praying for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a letter from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.
About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I started to read, tears came to my eyes. She told me how Frank’s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before the Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters to Frank, and explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, to show just that, they read the 1st letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he’d never met.
56. The author was then probably working for ______.
A. a travel agency B. a cigarette company
C. an e-shopping store D. a vacation school

A. gather together B. comfort myself

If you ask Cheryl McBride about the time she stopped breathing —long enough to make her lips turn blue —she’ll tell you it was good fortune. Really！
Not that she’s fond of near-death experiences. But this one turned her life around.
Cheryl had been feeling anxious, exhausted and headachy. On top of everything, her memory was going. Everyone knows what it’s like when a word or a neighbor’s name won’t come when you try to think of it. What’s worse is it may make you terrified that you’ve got Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症). But Alzheimer’s is not the only memory robber. There are other factors —yet doctors often fail to diagnose them.
Cheryl, for instance, told her doctor she was concerned about her forgetfulness. She’d just begun caring for her elderly parents and her doctor thought the problem might be due to stress; he advised her to leave town on a trip with an old friend.
In the hotel the first night, Cheryl’s friend, Nina Freed, quickly learned something new about her. "Cheryl snored (打鼾),"she says. "Very loudly. She just snored and snored." But one night, the snoring stopped. "I looked over at Cheryl and she wasn’t breathing," Freed says. "She was very pale and blue around the lips. My heart just dropped, but then she let out a huge snort."
Having heard Nina’s description, Cheryl told the doctor about it. The moment she did, the doctor knew what was causing Cheryl’s problems. "You’re suffocating (呼吸受阻),"says the doctor. "Even in your sleep, your brain is aware of this emergency. So it interrupts you and starts you breathing again. Those starts and stops deprive (剥夺) you of sleep, which is enough to make you forgetful."
Luckily, there’s an effective treatment. "I feel so good now," Cheryl says. "I’ve almost forgotten how bad it used to be."
60. Cheryl’s suffocating turned her life around because ______.
A. she discovered her interest through the near-death experience
B. the near-death experience helped to find the cause of her forgetfulness
C. she found that her experience gave her good fortune
D. this experience made her free from Alzheimer’s disease
61. Why did Cheryl leave town on a trip with her friend？
A. She wanted to see her old friend, Nina Freed.
B. She wanted to forget about her trouble.
C. She wanted to relax to cure her forgetfulness.
D. She knew her old friend would care for her.
62. What caused Cheryl’s forgetfulness
A. She lacked sleep because of a health problem.
B. She had to look after her elderly parents.
C. She was always exhausted and anxious.
D. She led an irregular life.
63. Which is the right order of the following events
a. Cheryl left on a trip with Nina.
b. Cheryl began to care for her elderly parents.
c. The doctor found the cause of Cheryl’s forgetfulness.
d. Cheryl’s friend found that Cheryl snored when sleeping.
A. b a c d B. d b a c C. a d c b D. b a d c

If you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter’s best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(部落)as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the newest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.
The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must shuffle through (马虎地编造)many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.
"Erin Hunter" is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book wrote by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket, they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically (按字母排序). Hunter fits perfectly.
"My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He’s got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her, "said Victoria Holmes.
64. The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to _____.
A. survive in the wilderness
B. protect another warrior from disappearing
C. find the killer that murdered Ashfur
D. look for some adventure and excitement
65. From the second paragraph, we can learn that _____.
A. Jay feather likes to tell lies and is unreliable
B. the warrior code of Holly leaf’s clan is terrible
C. the journey is not easy for the three cats
D. there are lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans
66. They chose Hunter as the pen name because _______.
A. the book series is about the hunting of cats
B. they all admired the fantasy author Brian Jacques
C. the book should be placed into the bookshelf labeled "H"
D. they wanted the book series to be a best-seller just like Jacques’Redwall
67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Cinderpelt
A. She has a sense of humor.
B. She is on the side of angels.
C. She makes the best of her destiny.
D. She is a good medicine cat.
D
Experts have confirmed that youngsters who use Face book(美国一社交网站) do worse in exams.
For the study, the researchers quizzed 219 college students about their study habits and the time they spent on Face book. They found that 65 percent of Face book users use the net daily, often checking it several times to see if they have received new messages. The study said that 68 percent of students who use Face book under-perform compared with those who do not use the site.
Surfing on Face book can swallow up(消耗) hours of study time. University student Daisy Jones, 21, said: "I was in the library trying to write a 2,000-word essay when I noticed my Face book habit had gotten out of hand. I couldn’t resist going online. You do that, then someone’s photo catches your eye. Before you know it, a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word."
While they focused on Face book, the findings are also thought to hold true for other social networking sites.
A study by the National Literacy Trust recently showed that one in five youngsters aged seven to 15 never read books outside school because websites and blogs are becoming their reading matter of choice. Pupils ranked social networking sites, blogs, general websites and magazines above books in a survey of their reading habits. Research has also shown that youngsters spend up to six hours a day in front of a screen.
However students appear to ignore the effect of their usage on their study performance. The majority do not feel it has an impact on their work.
A spokesman for Face book said: "There is also research that shows the benefits of services like Face book. It’s in the hands of students, with the help of their parents, to decide how they spend their time."
68. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Studies show pupils who spend time on Face book do worse in exams.
B. People who spend more time on Face book spend less time reading.
C. Websites and blogs are becoming students’reading matter of choice.
D. The usage of Face book among younger children is growing.
69. The underlined word "under-perform" in the second paragraph probably means "______".
A. act out of rule B. perform less well
C. play above the average D. gain less
70. The third paragraph is developed by using ________ in structure.
A. an example B. an argument
C. description D. analysis

书面表达
Nowadays, “stealing vegetables” on line is becoming more and more popular, especially among the white collars in the cities. People hold different opinions over this．
Some believe the game is popular for several reasons．First, people can experience farm life and enjoy the pleasure without going out．Second．it helps forget the trouble in life and reduce pressures in work and study．Third，by playing the game，people can gain some agricultural knowledge．
However, some other people dislike the game．In their opinion，gamers get addicted to “stealing vegetables” easily, which does great harm to their health because of lack of sleep and exercise．Besides．too much time on the game means less time on work and study. Last but not the least, if children join the gamers．their social values will be affected to a certain degree, which may lead to some social problems like stealing。 （128words）
