A
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother.
A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
41.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A. Parents bring children
B. Parents give love and care to children
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up
42.What do you know from the passage?
A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.
B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past
C. Not all the children respect their parents
D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home
43. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day，．
A.people usually have family parties
B.everyone goes to visit the cemetery
C.children always go to parents’ home
D.hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts
44.What do you think “florists” do?
A They sell flowers
B They made bread or cakes
C They offer enough room for having family parties.
D They sell special clothes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
B
There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine,” or “scientific medicine.” Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(中草药). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.
The third kind is called “health spas,” or “faith healing.” Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.
45. Doctor medicine ________.
A. has a longer history than folk medicine
B. has been practiced for around 1,600 years
C. bases its treatments on observation and logic
D. was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times.
46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?
A. Magic power.
B. Various herbs.
C. Religious faith.
D. A healthy life style.
47. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis.
B. People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs.
C. The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor
medicine.
D. Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient
times.
48. The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to _______.
A. describe different types of medicine
B. argue for the importance of medicine in health care.
C. show the crucial(决定性的) role religion plays in medical
treatments.
D. compare the educational background of three different types of
patients.
C
“Congratulations, Mr Jones, it’s a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not
particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mother, only recently has literature(文学) focused on the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition(转化) to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(革新性的) adaptation(适应), on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
49.According to the author, being a father____ .
A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B. makes some men feel proud and others uneasy
C. has a different meaning for those who have daughters
D. means nothing but more responsibilities
50. It is stated in the passage that ____
A. young couples do not like children at all
B. some parents are not prepared to have a child
C. working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D. many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child
51. In the third paragraph, the author ____ .
A. criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B. excuses the American writers for ignoring(忽视) the difficulties of being a father
C. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D. complains(抱怨) about the lack of social program to help husbands
get used to the role of a father
52. The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife ____ .
A. change her clothes style in a highly innovative way
B. stay at home to take care of the baby
C. make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
D. help her husband in his resocialization process
D

1970 was World Conservation（保护）Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature.

书面表达：
Dear Jin Jing,
Your problem is a common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advice can help you.
First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to them. Next, try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interest as you. You can discuss your studies with a classmate, and you can also talk about your hobbies as well. If anyone is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possible.
I’m looking forward to hearing your good news.
Yours, Li Ming。
