阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

A
Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons.“To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered.“It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”He called his three sons to him.“Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”
“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.
“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.
But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market.”
The eldest son bought straw with his coin.But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.
The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.
“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don’t have any straw.”
“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don’t have any sand.”
“I bought this,” said the youngest son.
“A candle!” cried his brothers.“What good is a candle?”
“Watch”, said the you ngest son.
He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!
“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.
And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.
51. Who would get father’s fortune?
A. The oldest son.
B. The richest son.
C. The cleverest son.
D. The silliest son.

Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent (具备智能的).They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
The touch-screen devices (触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week.“These devices are able to cr eate value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexandor, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM’s “shopping buddy”, has recently been test marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
“The whole model is driven by advertisers’ need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexandor.
“They’re not watching 30 second TV ads anymore.”
People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system (系统) that will organize the trip around the store. If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160 000,and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.
55. The underlined word “they” (Paragraph 1) refers to_________.
A. supermarkets
B. shop assistants
C. shopping carts
D. shop managers
56. Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts?
a. Start the system.
b. Make a shopping list.
c. Find the things you want.
d. Go to a self-checkout stand.
A. abdc
B. bacd
C. acbd
D. bcad
57.We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.
A. intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money
B. the Concierge is more expensive than the Buddy devices
C shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid
D. average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices
C
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweets and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worried, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
58. Why do we have to form good eating habits?
A. Because we want to eat more.
B. Because we enjoy our meal.
C. Because we want to save time.
D. Because we want to keep fit.
59. When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?
A. When we are happy
B. When we have a good appetite.
C. After a meal.
D. Before a meal
60. The word“swallow” means______.
A. take into the stomach through the throat
B. eat with difficulty
C. break with the teeth before taking in
D. drink like a fish

With the rapid development of the mobile service, more and more people are using Weixin in their daily life. Seeing her friends and neighbors have circles of friends and chat anywhere and anytime, my mother bought a new smartphone and wanted to do that as others. But she had no idea how to do that. Noticing that, I showed her how to do it. When I was not at home, she still got confused. So I drew some pictures about the mobile. even each step for her. Day by day, she could operate it very smoothly. On watching her bright face when she chatted on Weixin or showed it to her neighbors, I felt satisfied because I could finally do something for my mother.。
