Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the 39 out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact.

way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some 42 ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her 43 with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry, 47 I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice 48 a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just k now he's 49 sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay 50 it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the 51 price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to 52 you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神经
外科). The operation was completely 53 charge and i t wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and
did well.
Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have 54. Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the 55 of a little child. 36．A. As B. All C. All what D. That

I worked on my fitness by joining exercise classes in town. A few years later, my husband and I moved to a retirement community, and I wanted to teach aerobic（有氧运动的）classes. The community center wouldn’t give me a room to teach in, so I had to walk around and find any available empty room.
One day, the community center staff came to me and asked if I would help with the entertainment for a Hawaiian luau（夏威夷式宴会）they were putting on. I said yes. Then I talked five other ladies into dancing with me. We performed the hula（呼啦舞）and a war chant and brought the house down. Someone had a camera and took pictures, and then sent them to our local paper. We got requests for more engagements, which in turn led to more publicity and yet more engagements. Soon we had invitations from all over the country. The Dancing Grannies were born!

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.
During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃commonly drop to 14℃at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.
66. What’s the meaning of “complex” in the second paragraph?
A. Something that is difficult to understand.
B. A group of buildings together in one place.
C. A group of things that are connected.
D. A mental state that is not normal.
67. How is fresh air from outside drawn out?
A. By fans.
B. Via ceiling vents.
C. Through chimneys.
D. Via ceiling vents and through chimneys.
68. What is NOT the factor that makes Eastgate Building work well?
A. Skies without clouds.
B. Little dampness.
C. Daily rapid temperature changes
D. Seasonal rapid temperature changes.
69. In general, how is the daily temperature of the building?
A. It changes in a certain range with some exception.
B. It changes from one extreme to another.
C. It remains the same without any exception.
D. It is hard to endure.
70. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners.
B. How air-conditioning works.
C. Fans make Eastgate Building’s temperature comfortable.
D. How Eastgate Buildi ng’s temperature control system works.
D
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool－headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
71. According to the passage, where is it that the nicest men would become short-tempered?
A. Beside the wheel.
B. Before the wheel.
C. In a cage.
D. In the driver’s seat.
72. Which of the following is proper when drivers are forced to face rude driving?
A. Fighting and quarreling.
B. Showing great patience.
C. Calling back.
D. Beating back
73. What can be dangerous from the passage?
A. Road politeness.
B. Road sense.
C. Inappropriate politeness.
D. Traffic jams.
74. The following statements are right EXCEPT that________.
A. Modern drivers are good at driving
B. Blockages can cause unpleasant feelings.
C. Modern drivers can’t master the roadmanship.
D. All road users should understand the meaning of “give-and-take”.
75. Which section of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Health and life.
B. Health and society.
C. Human and society.
D. Human and environment.

（注意问题后的字数要求）
【1】One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door
found that he only had one dime(10分硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
【2】However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
【3】“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never t o accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
【4】Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town __________, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
【5】Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.
【6】After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words…
“Paid in full with a glass of milk”
(Signed) Dr Howard Kelly
【7】Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts an d hands.”

Every day, you will learn some new English vocabulary, idioms and phrasal verbs. And you will feel more confident in working and making friends in English. You also learn correct English pronunciation.
I always make sure my online English lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. My idea of learning English is that it is best for you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. This idea doesn’t mean a new method, but instead, it is a concept I hope you can accept, whether you are taking other English classes or not, and no matter what method you use. I can help you to achieve your English learning goals.

On October 21st, Beijing Educational Examination Yuan declared that in Beijing the total score of English in the 2016 College Entrance Examination will be declined from 150 to 100, which arouses a heated discussion. Opinions vary from person to person.
Some people think the policy will contribute to reduce the study pressure of the high school students, providing students with more time to learn other subjects especially our mother language Chinese. Additionally, a good command of English can be achieved in university instead of at high school. On the other hand, others hold the opposite opinion that since English has become an international language, that is, a practical language tool, English learning must be strengthened to keep pace with other developed countries during the economical and cultural globalization age.。
