I had to keep changing the angle (角度) 52 the woman leaned （倾斜）over to talk to the man 53 the man leaned over to kiss the woman.

It tasted pretty good, 57 .After a while I heard 58 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I could only hear the 59 of the popcorn crunching (嘎扎的响声) between my teeth.

(10 marks)ALike many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.The lady Mona Lisa in the picture makes us think that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa. The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is placed.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year. Many of them are attracted by the mystery of her smile. "It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops," said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows."However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was sold to France's King -- Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by someone. He hid it under his coat and took it out of the museum. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During the Second World War, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.66. What does “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa” mean?A. Mona Lisa runs faster than the time.B. Time can run as fast as Mona Lisa now.C. The picture is getting worse.D. The picture is getting slower.67. Why do so many people go to see the Mona Lisa every year?A.Because it’s an interesting place.B.B. Because she is a famous painter.C. Because the picture was getting worse.D. Because the smile of Mona Lisa is mysterious and famous.68. When wasn’t the painting in France?A. In 1914.B. In 1912.C. During World War II.D. In2017.BIt seems that everybody tells lies —well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling white lies isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. Some studies suggest that the average person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. A recent study found that people frequently stretch(编造，夸大）the truth. Here are some ways they do it.① Lying to hide something:People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example,a son doesn’t tell his parents that he’s dating a girl because he doesn’t think they will like her. Instead, he says he’s going out with the guys.②Giving false excuses:Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.③Lying to make someone feel good:Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”④Lying to hide bad news:Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine.Read the following situations. Which of the above examples do they belong to?69. Your friend gives you an ugly vase for your birthday. You say, “Oh, it’sbeautiful!”A．①Lying to hide something B．②Giving false excusesC．③Lying to make someone feel good D．④Lying to hide bad news70. Your ex-girlfriend is getting married. She invites you to her wedding. Butyou wouldn’t like to. So you tell your friend you’re busy writ ing a book.A．①Lying to hide something B．②Giving false excusesC．③Lying to make someone feel good D．④Lying to hide bad news71. Which of the following is telling “a white lie”?A.The boy who lied to the villagers that a wolf was coming.B．A family had a car accident. People sent the mother to the hospital. When she asked about her husband and child, her friends told her that they were OK.In fact, both had lost their lives.C.When the police asked the man where he was between nine and ten o’clock onthe night of December 14, he said that he was playing cards with his friends.But when he was asked to offer the names of the people who saw him, he couldn’t.D. You say you love the rain , but you open the umbrella when it rain s.CAcross the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.Winston-Salem is one of them. It’s a mid-sized city in what’s called the plateau（high land）, between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It’s home to the nation’s biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s headquarters(总部) is inWinston-Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds’ best-known cigarette brands(商标,牌子). Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted（投票） to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it’s called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women’s work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation’s oldest boarding schools for young women — the Moravians’ Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation.Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit(非盈利的） group began to rehabilitate the historic area. It took about three years to make it like what it used to be. These days Old Salem is what’s called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-Century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.The historic community is booming(繁荣) again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.72. From the passage we can know that ___________.A. Winston-Salem is the name of a cityB. Salem is home to the nation’s biggest tobacco market.C. The city Winston-Salem has two namesD. Old Salem is the name of tobacco brand73. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that __________.A. the two cities dislike each otherB. Salem developed faster than WinstonC. R.J. Reynolds Company has moved into SalemD. the combination meets the wishes of the people74. The city Salem is special about its __________.A. boarding schoolB. lifestyle and historic areaC. respect for brainpowerD. religious belief75.
