A
At times Marty made it sound too easy. On a visit to his home I heard him say, “People need to decide to be happy.”
I pressed him. “What do you mean by that?” His face took on an skeptical look. “You have to ask me?” At that moment I felt a little foolish. Complex human problems, at least to me, often prevent people from being happy. To Marty it was a matter of common sense. I wondered, what was I missing? That night Marty told me a story
that was very personal for him. I knew Marty and Mickey had four children. I didn’t know there had been a fifth. She was their second child. She died shortly after birth. “The funeral director was a super guy,” Marty said. “He knew we didn’t have any money, but he told us he would take care of our little girl. He went out and built a
wood casket (小盒) for her.”
Marty’s voice started to break. “He only charged us five dollars. It’s stuff like that. You can look for the good in people and you’ll find the good. You can look for the bad in people and you’ll find the bad.”
I didn’t know what it was like to grow up poor. Marty’s life was filled with
minimum-wage jobs, borrowing on insurance policies, and working overtime to make
a little more money.
In my lifetime I had seen people in similar circumstances grow angry. Bitterness took hold of their lives and choked them.
“I never had much money, and I don’t think I ever will.” Marty said. “People think
they need to have a lot of things to make them happy. They ought to look around and see what’s really important.” When Marty looked around, he saw the most beautiful
girl in the world as his wife, four children who loved him, a home he took pride in,
and a job that made him feel alive. He was happy because, in his mind, he had it all.
56. The underlined word “skeptical” in the text can be replaced by “_____”.
A. embarrassed
B. doubtful
C. disappointed
D. curious
57. Marty shared one of his personal stories to _____.
A. tell the author he experienced something sad
B. prove the funeral director was a good person
C. help those who gave him a hand once
D. tell the author to find the goodness in life
58. What does the author learn from Marty?
A. Everyone needs to live a hard life.
B. Never let others affect your mood.
C. Everyone can choose to be happy.
D. Complex problems can become simple.
B
What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
59. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _________.
A. doing shopping
B. reading a message
C. having a debater
D. leaving for Wyoming
60. The author's inspiration for the gift came from _________.
A. a call from the mother
B. a story about a kid
C. a photo of a flower
D. a text about Christmas
61. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _________.
A. the father
B. the author
C. William Blake
D. Edgar Allan Poe
62. The author made the gift by _________.
A. matching the words with pictures
B. drawing the background by hand
C. painting the letters in three colors
D. searching for the poems online
C
The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two
million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food suppl y against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0ºC. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security door.
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0ºC. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
63. The project is meant to ______.
A．increase the world’s food output in the future
B．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C．build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
D．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage? A．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place. B．The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the threat unclear war forever. D．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
65. We can infer from the text that _______.
A．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year. B．Norway had meant to build the storage centre about 20 years before. C．There haven’t been any seed storage centres in the world before.
D．The storage center will greatly promote world agriculture.
66. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A．The Best Place to Store Seeds B．A New Way to Feed the World C．Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟）of Plant Seeds in Plan
D．Concerns of World Food Supply
D
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场). He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back t o a story about a young man who was the son of a mobile horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. Whe n he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with much information of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project an d the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I rec eive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a mobile family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock (种马) and later you’ll have to pay a large amount of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’
“The boy went home an d thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same pa per, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranc h. I still have that school paper on the wall.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I’m sorry now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had strong determination not to give up on yours.’ ”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty a t last concluded.
67. From the teacher’s point of view, the real reason why the boy got an F is that
____.
A. the boy’s family was mobile
B. his dream was not practicable
C. the paper was not well organized
D. he could not afford to buy a horse ranch
68. Why was the boy’s schooling continually interrupted?
A. He had to help his father to train horses.
B. He had to travel along with his father from place to place.
C. His father devoted all his time to training horses.
D. They lived too far away from the school.
69. What is the turning point in Monty’s success story?
A. He wrote about his dream in the school paper.
B. He turned to his father.
C. He put up the school paper on the wall.
D. He received his paper back.
70. What did the teacher mean by saying “he was a dream stealer”?
A. He discouraged his students from keeping their dreams.
B. The dreams his students had were usually unrealistic.
C. He succeeded in stealing his students’ dreams.
D. He failed to help his students realize their dreams.

The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.
A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person’s body becomes dependent on the substance. An attempt to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal (脱瘾过程).
American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.
To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes (替代物). Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.
A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.
Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person’s blood. This helps satisfy some people’s desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for
people with heart problems.
Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.
