（A）
In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.
In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home was very important.
In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind of man who has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many American are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities
There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.
The second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man takes care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children, or she may want to go to work.
Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and responsibilities of their families.

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the America from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world” . Sailors were afraid that they might sail off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator(赤道) the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,000 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,00 miles (3,200 km) wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about more than 4,000 years to dry up. On the average, the water is a little more than two miles (3.2km) deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet---almost six miles (9.6km).
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little wind. In the days of sailing vessels(船) the crew were afraid they would be becalmed (can’t move) here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is, however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
60. What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic?
A. There were no ships big enough to get across the Ocean.
B. Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.
C. The Atlantic Ocean was very unusual because it has few islands and the saltiest water.
D. Many incorrect ideas such as “the edge of the world”, “the equator with boiling hot water” made people think the Ocean was full of danger.
61. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?
A. How deep the water is.
B. How to measure the water in the Atlantic.
C. How much water the ocean holds.
D. How rain affects the Ocean water.
62. What does the underlined word “highway” mean?
A. High road
B. Broad way
C. Fast road
D. Main water way
63. Why does the writer think “this big ocean seems to have grown smaller”?
A. The water in the ocean is becoming less.
B. We have more and more advanced traveling tools now
C. The distance between the ocean and us is shorter.
D. The steamship has a higher speed.
(C)
How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes
People have strange ideas about food. For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples.”
President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored (忠实的) guests about the fact.

A. Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.
B. Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.

Du Juan, the 25-year-old painting teacher is now the only graduate of an art school employed to teach students in the nine grades at Wangji School in Dongxiang County(县), Gansu Province. She graduated from Longdong College in Gansu Province in 2009 and began teaching that autumn.
She used to feel impatient towards naughty kids. She had never expected she would become a teacher in a rural(农村的) primary school when she was in high school.
She had great trouble when she first started at the school. Very few of the first-grade students, who were mostly six or seven years old, could understand what she was saying in Mandarin(普通话). It was not until she held her first painting class that she began to realize that, besides language, one can communicate through pictures.
She well remembers the first time she stood before her class and painted. She drew a scene she guessed most rural children would be familiar with. It described a rabbit hiding under mushrooms(蘑菇) to avoid getting wet in a heavy rain. But she was surprised to see how excited the students became at watching her work. “Wow! A rabbit! It was so much like a real rabbit!” some students shouted. It was the first time that many of the students had seen someone painting. Before she started painting, the kids were even not able to talk to her because of the language difference. She now shows her students how they can draw the pictures she has copied from books. Sometimes, though, when she asks them about a particular painting, they misunderstand her. She knows there are too many things that they have never seen, and then they have no idea about what she is trying to show them.
Last year, she received a notebook as a good-bye gift from a girl who had graduated from primary school. When she opened it, she saw that the girl had drawn a small flower in different colours at the corner of every page. She has been amazed by the children’s cleverness and use of colour. “Beautiful things are always on their minds,” Du said, “The students are just very shy.”
69. The trouble Du Juan met at first was that ______.
A. her students were too young and too naughty
B. none of her students could speak Mandarin
C. her students had never seen a rabbit before
D. few students could understand what she said
70. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. girls will get more active if they learn painting
B. language is not the only way of communication
C. most rural kids prefer painting to language learning
D. many college graduates like teaching in rural schools
71. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a painting teacher.
B. To show the importance of painting.
C. To praise rural students for their cleverness.
D. To describe a notebook with colourful pictures.

阅读回答问题：阅读下列短文，并根据所获取的信息用英语按要求回答问题。

Farmers use different kinds of soil protection methods to keep their land from being damaged by farming or the forces of nature. One important form of soil protection is the use of windbreaks. Windbreaks are barriers (障碍) formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields.
There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks ______________________ fields without such protection.
But windbreaks seem to work best when they allow some winds to pass through them. If the wall of trees and plants block the wind completely, the violent air motions (移动) will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.
For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak. There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.
Windbreaks can stop the wind blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for protecting grain crops.
Questions:
72. List at least two advantages of windbreaks based on the text. (Please answer within 8 words.)
①______________________________. ②_________________________________.
73. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4? (Please answer within 8 words.)
__________________________________________________________________________
74.Fill in the blank in paragraph 2 with proper words. (Please answer within 4 words.)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 75.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
If the wind can’t pass through the windbreaks, the strong air movements will happen close to the ground.
