A
Dear Ben:
I really love reading your column。

Your words are always so witty。

H ere’s my problem: My boyfriend and I have been together for four years and we have many dreams about the future. Recently my parents and all relatives are urging me to get married and have given me a lot of pressure.
I got totally tired and lost patience and I made a mistake. I wrote
a letter to break up with my boyfriend。

He just kept silent. After a month， I calmed down and realized I still love him deeply。

I’m really regretting what happened. What should I do? Just let it be or do something like apologize? Is it too late?
E laine
Dear Elaine
I sometimes think that we stare so long at a door that’s closing that it’s too late when we see the one that’s open。

After four years together, you might think that a Dear John letter would be met with a little more than indifference， but alas this guy just walked away and gives up without a fight.
I think maybe you need to ask yourself if this guy was really worth the four years you spent with him and if you’re willing to wait another four years for him to make up his mind. A lot of what you're been feeling now is natural because you’re been together for so long.
Once you know how much time it will take, I think you should use
it to see the world of possibilities right there in front of your eyes. You should take these moments to go on some dates with some other people to see whether your ex—boyfriend is truly the man you want to spend the rest of your life with。

The main thing， though, is to use your time apart to get a clear perspective on your relationship and see whether he is or isn’t Mr。

Right, or whether the traditional form of marriage is something you ultimately need to be happy together.
B en
51。

The passage is most probably from______.
A。

the Internet B. a newspaper C。

a talk show D。

an expert’s lecture
52. The underlined part “Dear John letter” means ______。

A. an apology letter
B. a letter which make suggestions
C. an invitation letter
D. a letter to end a relationship with somebody
53. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Maybe he is silently hurting B。

Love him? Apologize to him!
C. Is he worth the four years? D。

Secrets of getting along with him
B
They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves。

Every year，millions of tourists pass through， and Mexicans jovially（高兴地）warn that a part of them will remain behind forever。

Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who wind up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun， Acapulco， Mazatlan， and Puerto Vallarta。

The beaches，of course, are among the world’s best—but those who venture inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico， which has always resided firmly in the interior。

And it is a big soul. Mexico is vast, made up of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert， rain forests， mountains, and fertile plains. From the American borderlands of the wide，agriculturally rich north， the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges，the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east，finally merging(并入) into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City—the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles， then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major
peninsulas（半岛) that are almost countries themselves. In the west is the poetically barren Baja Peninsula； to the east， protruding into the Caribbean like the end of a fish hook, is the Yucatan peninsula，bursting with rain forests， Mayan ruins， and white powder beaches.
The population is about 106 million， and the generosity(慷慨大方）of the Mexican people is unsurpassed （非常卓越的）。

Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts。

Mexico has been graced with an unusually temperate climate year round。

The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season， although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes are present only in the North and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100F. Mexico City has a year—round temperature in the high 80s， while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat， but rarely break down below a comfortable 60F.
54。

By saying “Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.”， the writer wants to show that _____.
A. Mexicans are particularly friendly to foreigners who can speak Spanish
B. Spanish is Mexico’s official language
C。

Mexicans especially welcome Spanish tourists
D. Mexicans all want to learn about Spanish culture
55. The last paragraph is mainly about Mexico's _____。

A. geography B。

climate C. population D. language
56. In the north of Mexico, _____。

A。

there are plenty of rainforests
B。

many volcanoes are very active
C。

economy mainly depends on agriculture
D. visitors can enjoy Mayan ruins in the forests
57。

The purpose of this passage is to _____。

A。

tell us the results of the writer’s survey
B。

advise us to tour around Mexico
C. give us some introduction about Mexico
D。

show the relationship between temperature and desert
58。

It can be inferred that a tourist who stays in Mexico City usually feels _____。

A。

cold B. frozen C. comfortable D. hot 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A。

Nobody prefers to leave Mexico.
B。

Mexico City has a large population。

C。

Baja Peninsula looks like a fish hook.
D。

Whoever visits Mexico can learn about Mexico’s soul。

C
Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients， during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially— decorated“ care huts"。

They talked with them and gave massages （按摩)to patients kept in their beds。

“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up.”said Deng Yetao， 20，a third - year student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies。

They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains。

”
“Even though they are suffering a lot， the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was benefited a lot,” said Mao Xiaohua， another third — year student。

Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon。

The fact that most of the patients in the 80 - room clinic are aged people with diseases what will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy。

Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic， according to a survey by the hospital. For people at this stage of their lives, loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,” said Li Wei, president of the hospital。

Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer. A total of 330， 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital。

Many continue to offer services in their spare time。

They showered them with kindnesses。

Some of them even volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives。

Yin Hang， a student from Beijing Medical College， said he felt “ the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

kindnesses" mean?

D。

They offered them whatever help with affection.
62．What did the volunteers gain from this activity?
A。

A great encouragement. B. A welcome favor。

C. A valuable lesson. D。

A good reward。

63．We can learn from the report that 。

WHILE reports of a unique form of flu———swine flu---were appearing around the world, there was the question: Is this the next big one? Is this the new virus that will kill millions, like the pandemics（流行疾病) of 1918， 1957 and 1968？
Well， even the scientists’ crystal ball may not help them come up with an answer that quickly. “It’s hard to predict，” said Anne Schuchat， liuxing PhD， of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need to be prepared for change。

”
The center of the new virus is Mexico, where it has been blamed for 152 deaths and an estimated 2,000 cases， since April 13. Health officials around the world say they are investigating suspected cases in people who have been to Mexico。

The level of concern rose even more
when the US declared a public health emergency on Sunday.
The flu makes people feel like they have a serious cold。

In more serious cases， it may bring death。

Flu viruses can be carried by humans， birds, and other animals and transmitted among themselves.
It is believed that rotating flu viruses revisit humans in intervals and can leave a huge number of casualties.（伤亡者)
Swine flu contains genetic elements from humans and birds as well as from pigs。

It seems to spread among people more easily than past swine flus ， which sometimes jumped from pigs to people.
Pigs are considered particularly susceptible（易受影响的）to both bird and human viruses。

They are a likely place for genetic change that might lead to a new form of flu that spreads easily.
68. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. measures to control swine flu
B. different opinions about dealing with swine flu
C. people's reaction to swine flu
D. a brief introduction to swine flu
69。

Which of the following statements is True？
A。

Swine flu doesn’t have any effect on the US
B. Genetic elements make a change when pigs are harmed by bird and human viruses
C。

Scientists know how to deal with swine flu
D. Swine flu is transmitted from pigs to humans
70. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Swine flu can cause deaths
B. It is not the first time that swine flu has appeared
C. The number of suspected cases is increasing
D. Pigs take revenge on Mexicans because many of pigs are killed

Our parents and teachers often warn us to stay away from video games, but many of us just find it hard to tear themseives away from them。

Last week, our class had a discussion about whether it is beneficial or harmful for high school students to play video games.
About 70％ of the4 students are concerned about the negative effects of video games。

They think that players can be addicted to them and can’t concentrate their study. Another reason is that while sitting in front of a computer they might have little time to communicate with friends and become socially isolated。

What’s worse, violent video games can lead
to a player’s aggressive behaviour， which is more harmful than violent movies.
On the contrary, about 30% approve of video games。

First of all, playing video games. First of all, playing video games requires creativity and quick response，which are both important in our study。

Beside ,as a form of entertainment they can help players get relaxed and thus study more efficiently。

In my opinion， video games should mot be encouraged among high school students because they are so fascinating that few students especnts especially boys can resist the temptation. As for some students who are crazy about video games. Our school should guide and instruct them to choose game suitable for them。
