阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A
BEIJING(Associated Press) ! China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
While China may be the world's biggest toy-maker, much of the best is exported. Department stores here do not have enough high-quality toys. It is said the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company' s "mother' s club" get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost -- if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company's educational toys and childcare books.
"We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare' s president. "It starts during pregnancy, when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers -- paid by BabyCare -- advise parents, explaining toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children' s education and health that no other companies are in.
56. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Educational toys and, foreign toy markets.
B. Problems with China s toy market and education.
C. Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.
D. Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.
57. Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?
A. Club members buy BabyCare products for free child care advice.
B. Doctors in Beijing help in making BabyCare products.
C. Parents are encouraged to pay $18 for club activities.
D. BabyCare trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.
58. BabyCare is developing its business in China by_________.
A. opening stores in Beijing hospitals
B. offering 18-month courses on child-care
C. setting up children's education centers
D. forming close relationships with parents
59. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Mother's Club in China
B. BabyCare and Doctors
C. American Company Model
D. On Educational Toys
B
Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own -- their stock, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.
Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.
The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal government' s poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.
60. Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth'?
A. Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.
B. Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor.
C. Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.
D. Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.
61. What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?
A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.
B. The 1981 line didn't leave much to the poor.
C. There are more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.
D. There are more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.
62. From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 government's poverty line __________.
A. was of no good for the poor
B. was not put into operation then
C. was officially approved
D. was not helpful to the poor
C

On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Hardens' 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. 'I'm phoning to wish a happy Christmas," she said. “I love you.”
Ronals and Edwine Harden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called "Alive and Well". The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have nm away from home.
Young people can phone" Alive and Well" and leave a message for their parents. The telephone are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through "Alive and Well" they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.
The Hardens and their helpers write down the tape-recorded telephone messages and connect the addresses given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and stop a parent's worry: Is he dead or alive?

B. An "Alive and Well" call usually costs only two pence because it is quite near and short.

Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre downtown. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller town and villages.
71. We can easily know that the underlined phrase "urban areas" means ________.
A. areas of the countryside
B. areas of a town or a city
C. areas near the countryside
D. areas near a town or a city
72. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?
A. Because they can live more comfortably there.
B. Because they prefer noisy life to peaceful life.
C. They do so mainly to find work.
D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.
73. In a residential area you can see ________.
A. rows of houses
B. many offices and factories
C. a lot of factories and farms
D. many houses with offices and factories
74. In the United States, many people work in the centre of a big city__________.
A. while living on the far away edge of the city
B. and live there
C. but live in another city
D. but live far away' out of the city
75. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ______.

Education in China Today
Education in China today has been developing rapidly. Most children start school by the age of seven. They spend five or six years in a primary school and three or four years in a junior middle school, which are compulsory education. The students don' t need to take exams before they enter a junior middle school.
After graduation, some study in a professional school for two or three years before work. Most of them attend a senior middle school tot thee years. Students have to pass a series of examinations before, entering a university. Now about 50% of the students can go to university. The university life lasts two or five years, and part of the cost is provided by their families, lint they can get support from the university. After they graduate, they can go and find jobs.
Though great changes have taken place in the education system of China, it still can't meet the needs of the society.
