I went to the biggest store in town, which sold all kinds of computers. There were so many computers there that I didn’t know how to choose a right one.“Hi! What can I do for you?” A young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman but a student like me. I sensed a strange feeling—as if I had met him before. He began patiently showing me each model. With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile.A few months later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw first was still his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me. I was quite grateful to him for his sweet smile and good service.When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind. I don’t know whether we’ll meet each other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart. Smiling is the most peaceful language in the daily life.( )66.

Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas.2Usually, all around good student, which was called “thrice good”, was given to the students who were virtuous(品德高尚的), talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage young people to keep fit, study well and work hard.3 During the early 1990s, state owned company reforms(国有企业改革) were getting tough. The workers were more than the jobs in most of the cities. Many workers were losing their jobs. “Jobless” was a hot topic at that time, so the leaders hoped the laid off workers could find new jobs or start up their own business.4One of Dengs clever ideas, “one country, two systems”, was first performed in 1997. It described Hong Kong and Macao’s situation after they returned to China. This policy would also be suitable for Taiwan. There would be one China, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could have their own economies and political systems.5 Lei Feng was a soldier who was happy to help others. He died in an accident in 1962. On March 5th,1963, Mao wrote a piece, “Learn from comrade Lei Feng”, to say the Chinese should help others when necessary. After that, March 5th became a Volunteer Day.6 The phrase “harmonious society” appeared in 2004, referring to a peaceful society where all people would work together to make the life better. This idea has become the main goal of the Chinese Communist Party now.( )69. The first paragraph is mainly talking about_______.A. the population of ChinaB. the only child in ChinaC. the one child familyD. the family planning policy( )70. The underlined word “all around” (Line 1, Para.2) is closest in Chinese to “_______”.A. 与……相匹配的B. 到处的C. 向各个方向的D. 有多方面才能的( )71.

Please rearrange the events above in the correct order according to the time.A. 2→1→4→3→5→6B. 2→5→4→3→1→6C. 2→5→1→3→4→6D. 2→1→5→3→6→4CIf we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public insteadof in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friend with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch (泥潭)of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.( )73. The main idea of the passage is to _______.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girls( )74. We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret ( )75. If you are a shy person, you can ________.A. find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fall in love with other students easily( )76. A person at adolescence is ________.A. complicated(复杂的)in feelingsB. good at making friends with each otherC. old enough to fall in loveD. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of loveDIn the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted (预报) according to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief has arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.The blood-type personality theory (理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehji noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day superstition (迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions(预报) or important decisions based on this questionable theory.( )77. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.A. the difference between two blood typesB. the relationship between the two blood typesC. the influence of blood type on one’s behaviorD. the connection between personality and blood type( )78. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. It was lightly believed.B. It was brought to them.C. They liked and accepted it.D. They stole the idea from others.( )79. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Most scientists in Asia don’t believe in the theory.B. The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.C. The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.D. People don’t change their personality to match the theory.( )80. What is the best title for the passage?A. Is the blood-type theory poplar?B. Is the personality changeable?C. Is it in your blood?D. Is it in you mind?EThe world is an interesting place. Different people like different things. Some people like loud music. Other people don’t. 81._______Many people like sports, but they do not all like the same sports. In some countries, cricket(板球运动) is a very popular sport. In others it is not popular at all. No one plays it or watches it on TV. However, most people like cocker. The World Cup is very popular.82._______.Different people like different foods.
