四、阅读理解
A
Last autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.
"You can't say it's not a great university, just because Papa went there." "That's not it at all. And it is a top university." She was still holding the pieces in her hand. "But we can't afford to send you to college."
"I wouldn't dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren't that bad, are they?"
"No," she said. "I don't expect you to help support us."
Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What's more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world
the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
60 How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?
A. Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five.
61.The writer tells about the "special houses" because they __________
A serve as an example of energy conservation
B. show the excellent skills of the builders
C. are heated by different sources of energy
D. are warmer than other types of houses
62.The underlined words “geothermal energy” in the third paragraph mean________
A. renewable source
B. underground source
C. heat inside the earth
D. temperature of the earth
63. At a place where the surfac e temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?

Many people have been talking about the way in which the world will come to an end in 2012. Everybody wants to find out if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayan’s prediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.
The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar.
Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.
No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.
68. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Information about end-of-the-world predictions.
B. Different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions.
C. Some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions.
D. Destructive effects of the end of the world.
69. Which of the following things will NOT happen if the end of the world really happens?
A. Humans will see two suns at the same time.
B. The earth will look completely different.
C. The earth and the moon will line up in the same line.
D. The solar flares will become stronger than before.
70. The underlined word “exterminate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.

Have you read “To Kill a Mockingbird”, The only novel by Harper Lee offers moral lessons about racial justice and respect．It tells the story of a young girl named Scout and her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer．He defends a black man ．Tom Robinson wrongfully accused of raping（强奸） a white woman．In the end, an all-white- jury （陪审团） sentences Tom Robinson to death．The book is set in the American, South in the 1930s．But it came out on July11th, 1960 as the civil rights movement in the United States was gaining strength.

五、One possible version:
Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, I heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn’t escape being hurt and killed, at which I feel greatly shocked. The reason it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring about them. We should study and publicize the information about rare animals, keep it in mind that protecting animals is the duty to do for everybody, and take active and effective
measures.。
