A
An American man from Las Vegas opened a dog and cat hotel recently. Pats can rest on soft rugs(小地毯), watch television and get to know some new friends while their masters have fun in the city.
The American Dog and Cat Hotel opened officially on a Wednesday in March. There is everything a pet could want --- and more.
“We hear time and time again. ‘This is so nice, I’d like to stay here.’” the hotel manager said in an interview. He believed that people would want for their pets what they wanted for themselves.
Kennels(狗舍) have been around for a long time, but nowadays masters want to put their loved pets in some better places, he added.
He said the cats and dogs like to watch images on TV although they may not understand them. Anyway, they don’t have to know Britney Spe ars or Emimem to enjoy the pop music. Also, “The dogs don’t know it is a rug, but they know it is soft,” he said.
Pet masters can book a dog suite(套房) for $79 a night. Baths and other services are also offered.
The pet hotel manager believes that all the animal lovers in the world will love this great idea.
56．By “and more” in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph the writer means that ___.

C．The hotel manager D．The interviewer

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memory.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on---in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic conditional human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
60．According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _______.
A．diseases and aging B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging D．heart diseases and war
61．In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in ____.
A．medicine B．the internet
C．brain cells D．human organs
62．Humans may live longer in the future because ______.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
63．We can learn from the passage that _____.
A．human life will not last more than 120 years in the future
B．human have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C．much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
D．we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells.
C
Avocados are large, heavy, dark green fruits that are usually shaped like pears. The riper they get, the softer they get. People eat avocados in salads and sandwiches. But probably the most popular way to use avocados is in guacamole, a delicious Mexican snack. Inside the fruit is a very large seed, which you can use to grow a tall, beautiful avocado plant.
1．Wash the avocado seed with cold water. Stick four tooth-picks around the middle of the seed.
2．Fill the jar almost to the top with water that is just slightly warm. Rest the toothpicks on the top of the jar. The more pointed end of the seed should be in the water while the flatter end should face upward.
3．After that, you will have to wait for three or four weeks. During that time, be sure to add just enough water to replace the water that evaporates into the air. The bottom of the seed should always b e just below the water’s surface. The thin brown skin that covers the seed will crack(破裂) open. Roots will start growing out of the bottom of the seed. Leaves will start growing at the top.
4．When the roots are about three inches long, fill a flowerpot with soil and plant the seed. Make sure that the seed is completely covered by soil and that the young leaves are above the soil.
5．Find a sunny spot for the plant. Water it every few days to keep the soil moist (潮湿的). Watch it during the next few months. Your avocado plant will grow a tall, straight stem and large oval leaves.
64．The main idea of the first paragraph is to ______.
A．tell us how to grow an avocado plant
B．give us a brief introduction to avocados
C．tell us the shape and color of avocados
D．tell us that avocado is a fruit
65．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The two points of the seed are of the same shape.
B．The soil in the flowerpot should be neither too dry nor too wet.
C．We’d better use ri pe avocados to make some guacamole.
D．The most popular way to use avocados is in guacamole.
66．The word “evaporates” in the fourth paragraph means _______.
A．turns into ice because of cold weather
B．becomes very hot by the sun heat
C．turns into other things because of chemical change
D．becomes vapor and disappears
D
The scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kms away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible. Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.
Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world.
67．The passage is mainly about ___________________.
A．Felton, California B．the scientists
C．how to work with computers D．sending prints by pigeon
68．This story is unusual because pigeons ____________________.
A．don’t like carrying things B．are often expensive to keep
C．seem out of place now D．aren’t friendly to the scientists 69．Something that’s effective means something________________________.
A．that usually costs more B．that works
C．that is often unhappy D．that is often done by animals
70．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Pigeons were used as messengers.
B．Human messengers were used.
C．What the scientists input was sent to the computer.
D．Felton is far away from Lockheed..

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892．His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
1．What can we learn from the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with old English.
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
2．What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B．Hobbit was a local people who was very tall and strong.
C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
3．Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A．One of Tolkien’s students.B．Stanley Unwin’s son.
C．Allen & Unwin. D．Bilbo Baggins.
4．What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C．A famous professor at Oxford University.
D．The power of the magic ring.
5．Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
A．He had his “The Hobbit” published.
B．He became a member of the lnklings.
C．He served in World War I
D．He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
E．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

Hopkins did not want to miss anything, but as it was a cold night, he wrapped himself in a blanket before he went out. The two men were still shouting and struggling. Hopkins went close to them, but as soon as he was within reach, they seized his blanket and ran away. Hopkins was too old to run after them, so he could do nothing but go sadly back to bed. “Well,” said his wife, “what were they fighting about?” “It seems that they were fighting about my blanket,” answered Hopkins, “because as soon as they got it, their quarrel ended.”

IV. Writing sample:
One possible version:
Advertisements are helpful to producers. With the help of advertisements producers provide people with information about their new products---their good quality, their cheap prices and their popularity. As a result, the new products may sell well and the producers may benefit a lot.
Advertisements are also helpful to customers. They tell the people who are badly in need of a certain thing where to get it. In addition, they can help people to choose some products to their liking. Without advertisements, people might have to grope in the dark.
As far as I am concerned, I seek information from advertisements, but I don't trust them so much. Sometimes the products are not really like what the advertisements claim them to be. And I never buy a product just because an advertisement says that a famous football player or a movie star like it.。
