A
One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works..
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I moved on.
I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.
And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.
56. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.
B. The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his jacket.

D. The husband allowed blindness to change his life.
57. The underlined word “encountered” in the passage means “________”.
A. saw B. met C. talked D. argued

A. positive B. neutral C. bored D. admiring
59. What can be inferred from the passage is ___________.
A. the man had his eyes blinded in a fight
B. the man must be a painter before
C. the woman was very devoted to his husband
D. the man often killed time by visiting exhibitions
B
Goats are amazing animals. They can survive just about anywhere. Altogether there are nine species of goats in the world.
Goats have more uses than you could ever imagine. Goat’s meat can be eaten and goat’s milk is becoming popular as a healthy choice to drink milk. Goat’s milk is easier to take in than cow’s milk and it is called universal milk as it can be used to bottle-feed most animals. In nutrition, it is also good. Goat’s skins are still used today to make gloves and other items of clothing. The initial reasons for domesticating (驯化) goats were to get goat’s hair, meat and milk. Goat’s skins were used up until the Middle Ages for making bottles to hold water and wine for people who were traveling or camping.
Just like sheep, goats are considered to be the first domesticated animal. The domestication process began over 10,000 years ago in a North Iranian town. A lot of people keep goats as pets nowadays.
Goats are easily trained and you can teach them to pull carts and walk on ropes. Goats are also known for escaping their pens (圈). If you have unsecured fencing, your goats will be interested in it and test it out and soon you will know where the openings are. Goats are also widely known for their ability to climb trees, although the tree generally has to be at a slight angle (角度).
If goats are raised correctly and trained from an early age, they never develop any bad habits. Goats will attack each other. However, if they’re corrected from an early age they never attack humans or other animals.
60. The passage is written mainly .
A. to tell people how to raise goats B. to let people know more about goats
C. to explain how goats are domesticated D. to describe goats of different uses
61. Why is goat’s milk called universal milk?
A. It is rich in nutrition and easy to take in. B. It is good for our health.

62. If you want to keep a goat as a pet, it is important .
A. to get along well with it B. to find a professional trainer
C. to develop its ability D. to train it when young
63. Which of the following words can best describe goats?
A. Curious and clever. B. Unfriendly and naughty.
C. Careful and lazy. D. Stubborn and quiet.
C

So you have been called for an interview-well done. Your effort has paid off. Now go to get the job. You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.
Ask someone who already does it or check it out with one of the advisers.
Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you a practice interview. Afterwards discuss how it went.
Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look. Remember most of the employers are over 30. It is not wise to buy new clothes that will be worn for the first time at the interview. It’s best to wear a familiar dress.
Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time. This will give you a chance to have a look around，read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Being late at interviews produces a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door，so take a couple of deep breaths.
Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers.
Don’t take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably.
Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time.
Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to leave a better impression. Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays， pension (养老金) and so on. You can check on these later when the hopedfor job is offered.
And if you fail，look upon the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it.
We wish you good luck and good job hunting.
68. To make a good impression on the interviewer, it is important for you __________.
A. to walk through the door quickly
B. to be a little late for the interview
C. to wear your new clothes for the first time
D. to remember the interviewer’s name and use it sometimes
69. Which of the following can you do during a job interview?
A. Remain quiet to show your calmness.
B. Discuss the pay，holidays and such things with the interviewer.
C. Ask the interviewer some personal questions such as age, marriage.
D. Be brave enough to say something about your advantage in choosing the job.
70. In which order do people usually do these steps before a job interview?
a. Asking a friend to give you a practice interview.
b. Understanding the nature of the organization.
c. Paying attention to your clothes.
d. Arriving at the place of the interview ahead of time.
e. Getting some information from the advisers.
A. a， e， b， c， d B. d， c， b， a， e
C. b， e， a， c， d D. b， d， a， c， e
71. The underlined sentence “Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job” means ________.

B. carelessness might lead to your failure in the interview
C. to be successful in job hunting，you should pay for it
D. it sometimes needs carelessness to make you feel comfortable

Some people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day. I’m not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered. I have trouble remembering things. And all I want to do is go to bed.
How do you feel after you’ve stayed up late to finish schoolwork or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.
New research suggests that a gene called “period 3” influences how well you function without sleep. The “period 3” gene comes in two forms: short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.
Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of “period 3”. Study participants (参与者) had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed (闪过) on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.
Results showed that the people with the short form of “period 3” performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning.
After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests (those with the short form of “period 3”) took about 18 minutes to nod off.
While people with the long “period 3” gene fell asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time on deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.
I think I must have the long form of “period 3”. What about you?
72. The purpose of this passage might be ___________
A. to tell us the importance of plenty of sleep.
B. to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene.
C. to inform the harm of lacking sleep.
D. to announce the sleeping rules of humans.
73. What kind of people need less sleep according to the research?
A. Those with two short copies of the gene.
B. Those with two long copies of the gene.
C. Those with one short and one long copy of the gene.
D. Those with three short copies of the gene.
74. If one lacks enough sleep, one should avoid doing important or dangerous things ___________.
A. at noon B. at night
C. in the afternoon D. at dawn
75. Why did the writer think he or she had the long form of “period 3”?
A. Because the writer could remain energetic without enough sleep.
B. Because the writer could do things correctly at dawn.
C. Because the writer needed more sleep to keep energetic.
D. Because the writer recovered quickly after sleep.

Boys and girls,
May I have your attention, please? Now I’d like to make a speech here.
Nowadays, some of us students have formed some bad habits on campus. For example, some students leave lights on during the day time, or let water running after washing. Some leave over food on the table after eating. Besides, waste paper and spoiled books can be seen everywhere. As we all know, these bad habits will have a bad influence on our character and behavior. What’s more, they can not only increase our cost and add financial burden to our parents, but also waste the limited resources.
Dear friends, we should start with ourselves to save everything. We should try every possible means to change the present situation.
That’s all. Thank you.
