A
An 80-year-old woman died Tuesday afternoon in a fire. The blaze(火焰) was reported about 2:30 p. m. at a home on Sunnyside Avenue. The victim was identified as Mary Cass. Her husband, Roy Cass, 80, was not at home at the time of the fire. Investigators from the local fire department were trying to determine the exact cause of the fire. They said it looked like the woman had fallen asleep on the sofa with a cigarette in her hand.
The value of the home was estimated at $700,000. The Casses were married in 1945. Both of them had been smokers throughout most of their lives.
Mr. Cass said, “Six months ago, we decided to quit smoking, because we wanted to live to be 100. So we went to a smoking cessation Clinic(戒烟诊所). The clinic Worked! We both managed to quit a month ago. At least I thought we both did. I can’t believe she was smoking behind my back.”
Mr Cass started sobbing(哭泣) after his remarks. He repeatedly cried out his wife’s name. Authorities took him to a nursing home where he could be kept under surveillance (监视).
“We’ve had too many instances of long-time married couples who, if they discover their spouse is dead, commit suicide within 48 hours,”said a nursing name spokesperson. “Cass’s behavior has been erratic(古怪的), from talking nonstop to crying to staring vacantly. We are going to have to watch him closely.”
56. What might have caused the fire that killed Mary Cass?
A. Mary forgetting to switch off the gas.
B. Mary falling asleep while smoking a cigarette.
C. Mary’s husband not putting out the cigarette before leaving the house.
D. There is no clue as to the cause of the fire.
57. Why did the old couple decide to give up smoking?
A. They had ran out of money.
B. They were both suffering from lung cancer.
C. They wanted to live longer.
D. They were tired of smoking
58. Which of the following statements about Mary’s death is FALSE?
A. She died when she was alone at home.
B. Her husband was shocked and heartbroken at the news of the accident.
C. Her husband committed suicide when he heard of the death of his wife.
D. A nursing home is going to pay close attention to Mr Cass.
59. The article probably comes from ?
A. A novel
B. A local newspaper
C. A fashion magazine
D. A research paper
B
“Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40％. Garlic(蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated(积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.
B. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.
C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
61. The author develops the third paragraph mainly .
A. by cause and effect
B. by order in space
C. by order in time
D. by examples
62. The phrase “hold water”in the last paragraph most probably means “”.
A. to be believable
B. to be valuable
C. to be admirable
D. to be suitable
63. What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives” tales in the text?
A. Subjective
B. Objective
C. Dissatisfied
D. Curious

She turned up at the doorstop of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.”“No space for her any more with the baby coming.”“We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.”People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her
a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed about her. There was nothing I could to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking(舔) the four puppies(幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.”“She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
67. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked.

68. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie .

The suitcase is a black mid-sized one, 80 cm long, 40 cm wide and 25 cm thick, with my name tagged on the handle. Because it contains many important personal files and some scientific material and some academic reference books collected when I studied abroad for further research in my field. It took me much time and energy to get them and they are valuable in my scientific study. Besides, there are some presents I bought for my family members and friends, it will be a great disappointment to me if I can’t find the suitcase.
Here I sincerely express my appreciation if you could help find the lost suitcase, and I’m looking forward to bearing good news from you.
Yours truly,
Li Hua。
