阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my cha ir.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth...So I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?”He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said, “OK,”he said. “I'll give you twenty pounds.”“It's got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
Everything was going acco rding to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'11 buy it.”I said. “What do you mean?”“You've just sold it to me.”he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“You must be crazy. ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“You're right.”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’”“I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣) by the whole thing.
56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.
A. was rather impolite
B. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
C. was warmly received
D. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
57.Why didn’t the shops want to repair the chair?
A. It’s too difficult to repair.
B. The writer didn’t want to offer enough money.
C. No one in the shops could mend it.
D. There was too much trouble and too few profits in mending a chair.
58. From the text, we can learn that the writer was ________.
A. honest
B. careful
C. smart
D. funny
59. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. A chair with a broken leg
B. It was hard to mend a chair
C. My experience of mending a chair
D. A kind shopkeeper
B
Who is there among us that hasn't dreamed of having his or her own small ( maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans--arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
Well, in fact it isn't quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn't think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month's vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting(算账).
But this negative picture doesn't destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return--both material and mental--continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.
60. From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes_______.
A. to rule others
B. to be his or her own boss
C. to get a time clock
D. to be free from work
61. Most new business owners have to_______.
A. work more than 10 hours a day
B. devote himself to accounting
C. fly to some places in the world
D. have a day off in a week
62. The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because_______.
A. people love beautiful things by nature
B. people have a strong desire to seek personal gains
C. small businesses make big money each year in the US
D. small businesses have advantages over big companies.
63. Which is the main idea of the passage?
A.Many people have dreamed of having his or her own small business.
B.Being your own boss is painless and fun.
C.Business owners often work seventy or eighty hours a week.
D.Although being your own boss is not easy, many people are starting their own businesses
to get something wonderful in return.
C
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the building on the land”Taryn Holowka of the U.S Green Building Council in Washington, D. C. said.
According to Holowka, buildings account for(占了) 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give
off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don't destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using so]ar power. “On the lace(边) of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity,”Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It's going to be big.”
64. A green building is often built on an area of land________.
A. which has thick forests around
B. which has already been developed for building
C. where people of high income live
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
65. When Holowka says in the last paragraph, "It's going to be big", she means that green buildings________.
A. will be more comfortable
B. will take the place of traditional buildings
C. will become popular in the future
D. will be more environmentally friendly
66. What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U. S.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
C. Green buildings help save environment.
D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
67. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.The Solaire can reduce the impact of the building on the land.
B.Everyone is not eager to move into a green building.
C. Marty Dettling has come up with the idea of green buildings.
D. In the U.S, buildings consume(消耗) more than half of the total electricity.
D
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons (核武器) that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look up on international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with(与、、、一致) agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental
habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common place that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations（谈判） should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between man and the atom bomb(原子弹).
68. This passage implies(暗示) that war is now_______.
A. worse than in the past
B. as bad as in the past
C. not as dangerous as in the past
D. as necessary as in the past
69. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage_______.
A. is a supporter of some modern ideologies
B. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war
C. believes that the acceptance of some ideologies could prevent war
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
70. According to the writer,_______.
A. war is the only way to solve international arguments
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C. it is impossible for people to live without war
D. war must be ended if man wants to survive

书面表达：
I like popular music
When it comes to music, I prefer popular music to others.In my opinion, listening to music is good for my study. My reasons are as follows:
To begin with, listening to music can help me relax. When I listen to music, especially light music, I feel I’m quiet and in peace. Besides, listening to positive music does much good to us. It can help us develop a positive attitude toward life. Last but not least, listening to music, especially English songs is good for my study. I can learn more new English words by reading the English words.
In one word, I’m a music fan. By no means is listening to good music at a proper time a bad thing.。
