Why did I come to the shop today？I wondered。

anything。

So buying them gifts was 38 but fun。

When we finally 41 the checkout

treated them as though they were a 43 .
“That will be $ 6。

09,” the cashier said 。

The boy 44 into all his pockets. He finally came up with ＄3.12 。

“I guess we will have

She cried.
“Well，we’ll go home and work some more。

Don’t cry . We’ll surely 46 "he said. Quickly I handed $ 3。

Suddenly a pair of arms came 48 me and the girl said 49 ，
“Thank you ，lady。

”“What did you 50 when yousaid Jesus would like the shoes?”I asked。

The boy answered，“My mum is sick and she’s going to 51 。

Daddy said she might go before Christmas to be with Jesus”The girl spoke，“My teacher said that the Streets in heaven are shiny gold, just like these shoes. Won’t mum be 52 walking on those streets in

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)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
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father。

He was badly crippled(跛脚)and very short，and when we would walk together，his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare，I would be ashamed of unwanted attention。

If he ever noticed or was bothered，he never let on(发泄）。

It was difficult to walk together—his steps were slow，my patience was out，because of that，we didn’t say much and we went along。

But as we started, he always said，“You set the pace。

I will try to follow you。

”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he went to work, he went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day,even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him。

When snow or ice was on the ground，it was impossible for him to walk even with help。

At such times my sister or I would pull him through the street of Brooklyn，NY, on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance。

Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the tunnel air kept-free. In Mahattan the subway station was the basement（地下室)his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home。

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from such a shame and disability。

And I am surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint。

He never talked about himself as an object of pity，nor did he show an envy of the more fortunate or able。

What he looked for in others was a “good heart”，and if he found one，the owner was good enough for him。

Now that I am older，I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people，even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart" is. I know the times I don’t have one myself。

He has been gone away many years now，but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my
B When we think of plants，most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves，but there are plants that do not look or act like other plants。

Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.
Fungi may appear almost everywhere。

They commonly grow in damp places where they can get food and water easily。

Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, but fungi must take their food from animals，other plants or water。

Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss（苔藓)。

Mushrooms are the best—known fungi. There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes。

For example，cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October。

They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They commonly grow at the foot of trees。

Squirrels’bread is another kind of wild mushroom。

Its appearance
and use account for the origin of its name. These fungi，look like small golden cakes。

Squirrels can easily nibble(啃食)them or carry them off to their nests to eat later.
The mushrooms found in food stores are carefully grown by people who know they are safe to eat. Mushroom experts warn people never to touch or taste wild mushrooms because some of them are deadly。

Even less dangerous ones can still make a person very sick。

61。

A。

in wet places B。

D. it has some strange smell that does harm to people
64. Mushrooms bought from markets are safe to eat gbecause .
A. they are proved to be safe B。

they are grwn carefully by people

How long it is since we have had any communication, and I really want to hear how the world goes on with you; but my immediate object is to ask you to observe a point of me, and as I know now you are a very busy man with too much to do, I shall have a good chance of your doing what I want，as it would be hopeleess to ask a quite idle（懒散的)man. As you have a Noah's Ark，I don’t doubt that you have pigeons（鸽子）。

Now that I wnat to know is, at what age nestling pigeons have their tail feathers sufficiently developed to be counted. I want to get the young of our domestic breeds(繁殖）, to see how young, and to what degree the differences appear.
With respect to ourselves, I have not much to say：we have a terribly noisy house with the whooping cough（百日咳），but otherwise are all well. At the end of the year we had two of our little boys very ill with fever and bronchitis(支气管炎）,and all sorts of troubles。

Partly for amusement，and partly for a change of air, we went to London and took a house for a month，but it turned out a great failure，for that dreadful frost just set in when we went，and all our children got unwell，and my wife and I had coughs and colds and rheumatism（风湿病)nearly all the time。

We had put it down first on our list of things to do, to go and see Mrs。

Fox but literally after waiting some time too see whether the weather would not
improve，we had not a day when we both could go out。

I do hope before very long you will be able to manage to pay us a visit. Time is slipping away, and we are getting older. Do tell us about yourself and all your large family.
I know you will help us if you can with information about young pigeons, and anyhow do write before very long.

There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns。

It is sometimes placed among “situation vacant”although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted ”although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job。

“Contact us before writing your application”，or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae(求职简历）or job history", is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course，a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment。

It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae（or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own weight.
There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name，address，age and whether you have passed any exams"，was about the average level of advice offered to young
people applying for their first jobs when I left school。

The letter was really just for openers，it was explained，everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest。

Later, as you moved up the ladder，something slightly more sophisticated(老练的)was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest。

It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”，was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded。

Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view。

There is no doubt, however，that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.
71. What’s the function of the new advertisement appearing in newspaper columns?
A. informs job hunters of the opportunities available。

B. promises useful advice to those looking for employment。

C。

divide available jobs into various types.
D。

informs employers that people are available for work.
72。

Why has a demand for this specialized type of service been created nowadays？
A。

Because there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people.
B。

Because there are so many top-level jobs available。

C. Because there are so many people out of work.
D。

Because the job history is considered to be a work of art.
73. In the past it was expected that first-job hunters would 。

A. write a long letter giving their life history。

B。

pass some exams before applying for a job
C. have no qualifications other than being able to read and write。

D. keep any detailed information until they got an interview。

There are numerous physical effects of stress. It can affect the heart。

It can increase the pulse rate，make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure。

the respiratory（呼吸道的)system, as well. It can lead to asthma(喘)，it can cause a person to breathe too fast，resulting in
a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digestiong food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress。

Emotions are also easily affected by stress。

People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems。

For example，a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice。

Stress can make people angry，moody，or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses。

Depression，an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders，such as anorexia（厌食症)，sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress。

If stress is allowed to continue，then one’s mental health is put at risk。

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem。

It attacks the body。

It affects the emotions. Untreated，it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings，and our minds。

So, reduce stress：stop the world and rest for a while。
