It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. I thought of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person just nodded to my 35 “Happy New Year” when I sat in front of him.
He was busy at that moment. After a few minutes he took my form and started filling in my details. I sat there 36 why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms.
After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all 37 of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. He shouted even without looking at me, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”
Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned 38 cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man must be feeling when customers 39 me came always in a hurry to get their work done. We did not even 40 the need to thank them for being there. He must be feeling so 41 that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”
On an instinct(直觉) I told him, “Sir, please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” He suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact. I saw both of us sailing in the same boat. I felt that he was also 42 the small things in life like a cup of hot tea for a few more minutes. He gave me a smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but 43 else will come, who will be in a hurry.”
He really touched my heart with his wise 44 . I felt that we had all put shields (盾牌) on our hearts like we put gloves on our hands. All this time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, 45 today I suddenly felt a strange closeness with him. I promised to be more friendly with people who helped me and be 46 that they were there for me.

（共26分，每小题2分）
C
A great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings(环境), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.
In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(贴近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men.
Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents' homes and lived in places of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.
As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依恋). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. "Son," he said, "I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time."
53. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents' homes?
A. Because they can afford the money to live outside.
B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around.
C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety.
D. Because they are not actually satisfied with their environment.
What can we learn from the article?
A. Surroundings influence the way that people act.
B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home.
C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society.
D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of the young.
What is the best title for the passage?
A. The History of Home
B. People and Home
C. Different Ideas of Home
D. Ideas of Home Have Changed
D
Depression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not "crazy" or "weak".They have a serious yet highly treatable disease.
Feeling down? You’re not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And that’s what has scientists confused. If depression caus es harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit. It may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection (感染).
Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive (免疫反应性的)
condition known as inflammation (炎症), even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow l inked to the body’s ability to fight disease.
Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression might have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics (抗生素). Infection was a major cause of death in early human history. Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation.
They doubt that depression helped people, especially children, stay alive from infection. Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading. Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection. Sleeplessness, which is associated with both depression and immune system activation, may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert(机警) to fight off enemies after injury.
If scientist s are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the person’s own body, known as auto immune diseases. It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also.
56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ____.
A. there is a depression line between different groups and societies
B. people at a higher social position may tend to suffer from depression
C. people who are living with depression could connect with each other
D. anyone can get depression whatever their economic states and backgrounds are
57. In Paragraph 2 the author ______.
A. introduces an idea on depression
B. gives an example to show his idea
C. explains how depression works
D. describes the depression problems
58. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Depression can spread infection.
B. Stress may affect the function of the immune system.
C. Women are less likely to suffer from depression.
D. Modern medicine is widely used for treating depression.
59. The writer mainly wants to tell people that depression _____.
A. is serious but highly treatable disease
B. could have its advantages in scientific research
C. may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection
D. is a true medical condition like high blood pressure

Beijing is a crowded city of high-rise buildings everywhere. When there is a fire, it can spread easily and quickly. Every year, there are thousands of people losing not only their property (财产)but also their loved ones in fires. In many cases, these fires happened because people were careless. To prevent fires at home, it is important to monitor(监督) some household activities.
Use of electrical appliances
Always pay attention to the electrical wiring and electrical appliances（电器）that you are using. Choose proper electrical appliances and use them correctly. For example, allow enough
space behind your TV sets to make sure that there is room for the heat to escape. Do not put heaters near newspapers or other materials that can burn easily. When the electrical appliances are not in use, disconnect them from the electricity supply. When you notice problems with your electrical appliances, make sure to repair or replace them quickly. It is also important to avoid connecting too many plugs to the same socket（插座）as fires may result.
Fire risks in the kitchen
The kitchen is a place where we can find fuel（燃料）, cooking stoves and many different kinds of electrical appliances. Because of this, you have to be more careful when working in the kitchen. Before cooking, open the windows to allow fresh air into the kitchen. Do not leave the kitchen when a stove is in use. Keep food packages and waste paper away from a stove as well. If you smell strong gas in the kitchen, disconnect the gas supply and contact your gas supply company immediately.
Matches and lighters
Put matches and lighters in safe places. Do not let children play with them.
Emergency exits
Do not block the emergency exits（紧急出口）or lock them. When there is a fire, the emergency exits are your main escape paths.
64.Why did fire happen in many cases?
65. Where shouldn’t we put the heater?
66. Is it important to avoid connecting too many plugs to the same socket?
67. What should we do before cooking?
68. What is the purpose of the passage?

Both of my parents love music. So it would be a great idea to buy a wonderful CD for them. Last Sunday, I went to a bookstore and chose one among the top 10. While we were having dinner together, I played the CD. It was beautiful. With great joy, they gave me a warm hug and a big smile. I felt very sweet.
I was really proud that I did something for my parents. Their smiles were the best encouragement for me. I made up my mind to do things like this more often.。
