In high school I was successful both 57 and socially. I was even 58 class president, but on the 59 I still felt like a freak（怪人）. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would hold me in her 60 and look at me with 61 eyes and encourage me with those 62 words.
When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other 63 in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant it. My mama's love and 64 gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. I had learned not only to 65 myself but to have deep love for others.

It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a ―winter wonderland‖. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of this happy song.
But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dr eam about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song ―California Dreaming‖.
During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called ―A Hazy Shade of Winter‖. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.
In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in ―Sometimes in Winter‖.
In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called ―Winter‖. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.
Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.
66. When is snow beautiful?
A. When people drive in it.
B. When people don’t have to take it away.
C. When it has snowed heavily.
D. When people sing in the snow. 67. According to the second paragraph, winter is _____ .
A. beautiful and happy
B. happy and warm
C. lovely and hopeful
D. cold and sad
68. Which of the songs can bring us hope of life?
A. Winter Wonderland.
B. California Dreaming.
C. A Hazy Shade of Winter.
D. Sometimes in Winter.
69. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Songs about winter.
B. Different ideas about winter.
C. Winter in different areas.
D. Winter is cold but happy.
70. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that the state of California is ______.
A. cool in summer
B. cold in winter
C. warm in winter
D. warm in spring
B
Ask a bachelor（单身汉）why he does not want to get married even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of taking up the duty. They think marriage is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its important benefits.
Couples with young children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy （嫉妒）: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
71. According to the author, a bachelor does not want to get married chiefly because ________ .
A. he is not ready to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that marriage is the end of happiness
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adventure and
excitement
72. From the second paragraph, we can see that couples with children ______.
A. are very lucky
B. can sleep very well during the night
C. often go on holidays
D. can hardly get enough sleep
73. Raising children, in the author’s opinion, is ________ .
A. a painful duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of continuing pain
74. In the author’s opinion, happiness and fun are ______.
A. the same
B. different
C. connected
D. useless
75. What is the author trying to tell us?
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B. One must know how to get happiness.
C. It is important to take up duty.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
C
While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.
But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology.
The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油机汽车) by 40 per cent. The program will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.
―We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the s ame time we need to reduc e pollution from them,‖ said an official.
Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.
Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index (指数) gave just 100 days as good.
―I am glad to see an improvement,‖ said a Senior 1 boy living in the no rthwest of Beijing. ―Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in fog.‖
In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off.
Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes (烟) and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.
76. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a progra m to improve Beijing’s air quality
B. progress made in Beijing’s air quality
C. the problem of Beijing’s air pollution
D. the difference between Hainan and Beijing
77. Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing’s air?
A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation.
B. Some factories have been asked to cut production.
C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed.
D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.
78. We can infer from the passage that Shougang Group ________.
A. used to send out a lot of pollution
B. used to be heavily polluted
C. has already been closed
D. has a lot of diesel vehicles 79. Which is not correct according to the passage?
A. Beijing’s air quality is getti ng worse and worse.
B. Development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.
C. Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing.
D. The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.
80. The underlined word in the last paragraph may be replaced by ______.
A. result in
B. come from
C. suffer from
D. give in

作文
Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past few years. Just several years ago, the streets in my hometown were crowded with little shops. There used to be rubbish everywhere, making the streets dirty and smelly. Many people wanted to move to other places. But now with the economical and social development, the streets have been widened and on both sides of the streets green plants and flowers have been planted. Besides, many tall apartment buildings and parks have been built. People are paying more attention to environment protection and they are enjoying a much happier life than before.。
