閱讀下列短，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
I was in a charity shop looking at the second hand books. It just so happened that the book shelves were next to the toy section. After a few inutes I becae aware of a group of woen standing behind e. They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language. As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl, about three years old, cae over to the toy section. Iediately her attention was caught by a toy pra（嬰兒車）. What is it about little girls and toy pras? I don't know, but whatever it is its incredibly cute!
She spoke to her other and, in halting English her other asked the shop assistant how uch it cost. Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars. The u looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how uch oney she would have left. Then she siply shook her head.
The child didn't react badly as soe ight. Being told “no” was obviously not a new experience for her. But she couldn't keep the disappointent fro her face.
I had the grand total of four pounds in y pocket, two two-pound coins. A oent later I tapped the other on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pra and said, "Buy her a dolly too."
I didn't hang about to see the end result. After all, it's not about being thanked. I ade y way out of the shop and into the sunshine.
The oney was an investent in the happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so uch happiness for so little oney than to buy a little girl a toy pra? And a dolly to sit in it!
26. What did the little girl say to her other according to the second paragraph?
A. She asked her other to calculate her oney.
B. She asked her other to buy the toy pra for her.

D. the little girl was often refused because she asked for too any toys.

Growing up, I reeber y father as a silent, serious an—not the sort of person around who one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in Aerica, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the huan journey. In college, when friends called hoe for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.
Today, at twenty-seven, I have coe to rediscover the in ways that y teenage ind would not allow—as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.
One night after y ove back hoe, I overheard y father on the telephone. There was soe trouble. Later, Dad shared the proble with e. Apparently y legal training had earned e soe privileges in his eyes. I talked through the proble with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies(策略).He listened patiently before finally aditting, “I can’t think like that. I a a siple an.”
Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blocks of nature. Yet huan nature is a ystery to hi. That night I realized that he was siply not skilled at dealing with people, uch less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand huan desires.
And so, there it was—it was no one’s fault that y father held no interest in huan lives while I placed great iportance in the. We are at ties born ore sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreay than our parents and becoe ore curious and idealistic than the. Dad perhaps never expected e for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent an, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of y feelings.
It has saved e years of questioning and confusion. I now see y parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and other. I now overlook their any faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed e.
I now know y parents as friends: people who ask e for advice; people who need y support and understanding. And I’ve coe to see y past clearer.
31. What was the author’s ipression of her father when she was a teenager?
A. Friendly but irresponsible.
B. Intelligent but severe.
C. Cold and aggressive.
D. Caring and counicative.

A. She did not have a phone to call hoe.
B. Her father did not care about her huan journey.
C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone.
D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice.
33. After the author overheard her father on the telephone, _________ .

B. he rediscovered huan nature.
C. he consulted with her about his proble.
D. he changed his attitude towards the author.

A baby born in India has been declared the world's seven billionth person by child rights group Plan International. Baby Nargis was born at 07:25 local tie (01:55GT) in all village in India's Uttar Pradesh state. Plan International says Nargis has been chosen sybolically as it is not possible to knohere exactly the seven billionth baby is born. In addition to baby Nargis in India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cabodia have all identified seven billionth babies. The United Nations estiated that on onday 31 October, the world's population would reach seven billion.
Populations are growing faster than econoies in any poor countries in Africa and soe in Asia. At the sae tie, low birth rates in Japan and any European nations have raised concerns about labor shortages.
Population experts at the United Nations estiated that the world reached six billion in October 1999. They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century. China's population of one and a third billion is currently the world's largest. India is second at 1.2 billion. But India is expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025.
India will also have one of the world's youngest populations. Econoists say this is a chance for a so-called deographic dividend. India could gain fro the skills of young people in a growing econoy at a tie when other countries have aging populations. But econoists say current rates of growth, although high, ay not create enough jobs. Also, the public education syste is failing to eet deand and schooling is often of poor quality. Another concern is health care. Nearly half of India's children under the age of five are alnourished（營養(yǎng)不良）.
ichal Rutkowski, the director of huan developent in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good tie for a call to action. He says, "I think the botto line of the story is that the public policy needs to becoe really, really serious about sex equality and about access to services -- to fight against alnutrition, and to provide for access to health services, water and schooling."
36. What is true about the world's seven billionth person?
A. Baby Nargis is not the only child chosen as the seven billionth baby.
B. Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth baby
C. Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cabodia have all declared Baby Nargis as the seven billionth baby.
D. The United Nations declared Baby Nargis born in India's Uttar Pradesh state as the world's seven billionth person.
37. Which of the following probles do any European countries worry about?
A. Labor shortage.
B. Poor health care
C. Not enough jobs

A. About 12 years.
B. About 40 years.
C. About 50 years.
D. About 110 years.
39. What does the underlined phrase “deographic dividend” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

ars Was Not Always Bitterly Cold
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have reported evidence that ars was warer and wetter long ago than it is today. The Caltech scientists say they have directly established the teperature of ars four billion years ago. At least, they established the surface teperature on part of the planet at that tie. The researchers say it is the first such evidence to be discovered and presented.
The Caltech scientists say carbonate（碳酸鹽） inerals fored on ars at about eighteen degrees Celsius. They reached the finding after studying a eteorite（隕石） that had its beginnings near the artian surface.
Today, the average teperature on ars is sixty-three degrees below zero Celsius.
The finding was reported on the website of the National Acadey of Sciences. Caltech Assistant Professor Woody Fischer helped to prepare the report. He says eighteen degrees Celsius is not especially cold or hot. He says this akes the finding extreely interesting. Knowing the teperature can give scientists an idea of the cliate on ars long ago. It can also help the decide whether the planet had liquid water. Spacecraft orbiting ars have shown what appear to be rivers, lakebeds and ineral deposits. These pictures suggest that, at one tie, water did flow there. ars Rover vehicles and other spacecraft have confired the inforation.
Caltech Geology Professor John Eiler was another writer of the report. He says knowing the teperature of ars fro long ago provides valuable inforation. It shows that early in the planet's history, at least part of ars could support a cliate like that of Earth.
The eteorite the scientists exained is one of the oldest known rocks in the world. It is called the Allan Hills eteorite. Its nae cae fro the place in Antarctica where it was found in 1984. The eteorite is believed to have blown loose fro the ars' surface when another space rock struck its "hoe."
41. The underlined word “establish” in Paragraph 1 probably eans “___________”.
A. to set up
B. to ake people accept a belief
C. to discover or prove
D. to start having a relationship with others
42. How did the scientists reach the finding?
A. By studying Allan Hills eteorite.
B. By using spacecraft orbiting ars.
C. By studying inerals gathered on ars
D. By studying a eteorite on the artian surface.
43. According to the fourth paragraph, what have spacecraft orbiting ars done?
A. easuring the teperature of ars.
B. Taking photos of the surface of ars.
C. Confiring that there is water flowing on ars.
D. Finding where huan beings will probably land on ars.
44. How did Allan Hills eteorite get its nae?
A. Fro its original place on ars.
B. Fro where it was found on the earth.
C. Fro the nae of the scientist who found it.
D. Fro the nae of the aircraft that discovered it
45. Where can we ost probably read this passage?
A. In a biography of scientists.
B. In a geography agazine.
C. In an environent report.

When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four suers working as a aid in housekeeping at a grand hotel in downtown Chicago. I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. I had been hoping to get a job as an office assistant. When that failed, I had no choice but to work as a aid.
It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen roos a day. y poor attitude reflected y disdain(蔑視) for cleaning toilets, changing bed sheets, dusting, and vacuuing eight hours a day for the cofort of total strangers who rarely left a tip. y aid work was just so-so until the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.
That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only tie another aid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off. If you left a little rubbish on the floor, a sall tissue under the bed, or a pillow uncleaned, Lorena would hunt you down when she returned. She’d ended her lecture to e with, “Take soe pride in your work.”
She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, Pearlie, Earline, and all the other career aids with ore than one hundred years of experience aong the.

When she was a college student, the author spent 4 suers in a hotel doing house keeping job, which had great influence on her later professional career.
When it coes to y suer vacation, I never did any part-tie job. Instead, I had to attend a series of training classes to iprove y studies.
As a atter of fact, I don’t like it when I have to bury yself in books in suer vacations. Therefore, I a deterined to do soe part-tie work after the college entrance exainations. With the oney I earn, I’ll go traveling, which will enrich y life and broaden y horizon.
In y opinion, suer vacation should not be spent on books only. As a Chinese saying goes, "Walk ten thousand iles, read ten thousand books". Apart fro gaining knowledge fro books, we should also learn fro social activities such as doing part-tie jobs, going traveling and participating in voluntary work. Only in this way can we develop healthily and adapt ourselves to the society quickly.
