When I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, I had a really unusual student named Mark Elkland．He was then in the first third grade class, in which all 34 of my students were 36 to me, and Mark was the dearest of all．Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-be-alive attitude that made 37 his occasional bad behaviors delightful．

I remembered the 50 as if it had occurred yesterday．I walked to my desk very

As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing , he winkled at me ．That did it !

A
Doctors and scientists have been doing the research for several years and they have found that men and women are exposed differently to environmental risk, and their bodies may respond differently even to the same threats．For instance, the incidence of respiratory （呼吸) illness is considerably higher among women and children, who are constantly exposed to indoor air pollution, than among men．
There are varieties of threats against both men and women．One of the latest threats to health and social welfare is the spread of HIV/AIDS．Both sexes are affected, but to different extents in different parts of the world．Globally, men account for 52 percent of infected adults．Lack of information among women on how the disease is transmitted makes people confused on the problem in many regions．In sub-Saharan Africa, 55 percent of those infected are women．In this region, women grow most of the food, and women' s agricultural labour often shows the first signs of wider community disruption（破坏) by HIV/AIDS．For example, in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe where women are responsible for most food production, there has been a progressive shift from maize（玉米) production to less labour-intensive, and less nutritious, cassava（木薯) production to compensate for the labour lost through HIV/AIDS．Why more women than men in this regions have got infected?
56．Respiratory illnesses among women are higher than among men mainly because ________．A．women are weaker
B．women grow most products
C．women stay in houses more often
D．women always stay with children
57．According to this passage, on an average in the world, ____________．
A．more men get infected with HIV/AIDS than women
B．more women get infected with HIV/AIDS than men
C．more children get infected with HIV/AIDS than adults
D．more women and children get infected with HIV/AIDS than men
58．We can infer from the text that, in sub-Saharan Africa, _________．
A．people are living happily B．men don't work at all
C．there are fewer men than women D．labourers are mainly women
59．The underlined word "shift" probably means __________．
A．raise B．change C．growth D．lift

Perhaps the best example of sportsmanlike behavior by the Brazilian public was the reaction of the 220,000 football fans who were crowding Maracan Stadium to watch Brazil play the final game of the World Cup against Uruguay．A tie would have given the home team the Jules Rimet Cup．Brazil scored first, but the Uruguayan team fought courageously to tie the game and then went on to score again and became the world champion．Brazilian fans were understandably heartbroken, but there were never any sign of disrespect towards the winners or, perhaps more important, towards the losers．
Brazil's national team is the only one that has taken part in the final round of all the World Cups up to now, and has managed to win it four times, always abroad．Even when they lose, returning players are welcomed with honor back home, and their efforts, though unsuccessful, are fully recognized by the public．The most recent World Cup competition is a case in point: although deeply disappointed by the performance of their team in the match against France, Brazilians cheered their players．After all, the Brazilian athletes had been able to beat powerful opponents（对手) and win for the sixth time the right to compete in the World Cup final．I can only hope we have better luck next, time around, but whatever happens, the team will be warmly supported by all Brazilians．And if China, a rising force in soccer, is not in the final game, we count again on the support of Chinese fans as well．
60．In World Cups ever since, Brazil has ___________．
A．reached the final 10 times
B．competed in the final 4 times
C．won the finals 6 times
D．won the 2nd place twice
61．What was the score between Brazil and Uruguay in the World Cup final this time?
A．1:1．B．0:1．C．1:2．D．1:3．62．We can infer from the text that ___________．
A．most Brazilian fans have good manners
B．Brazilians' attitude towards their soccer team is incorrect
C．Brazilian athletes are the best
D．Uruguayan players are welcomed no matter how they perform
63．The author hopes that _________．
A．all Brazilians would support their team
B．Chinese fans will support Brazilian team if it wins
C．Chinese team will have better luck in the World Cup
D．Chinese fans will support Brazilian team

BALTIMORE -When 15-year-old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn't have been prouder．On his feet, thanks to his mother's hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordans -- $100 worth of leather, rubber and status （身份) that to today's youth are the Mercedes-Benz of athletic footwear．
The next day it was James David Martin, 17, who was walking down the street in Thomas' new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school．Martin was arrested for murder．
For the Baltimore school system, Thomas' death was the last straw．He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years．Dozens of others had been robbed of name brand sneakers, designer jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry．This fall, the school board announced a dress code（规定) preventing leather skins and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items．
Clothes, said board president Joseph Smith, had just gotten out of hand．
Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree．They say that today's youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes fixated （专注)．They worry about them, compete over them, neglect school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them．
In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said．
In response, many public schools, mainly in Eastern cities, have adopted school uniforms to cut down on competition．Educators say, in the current fashion climate, dressing students alike allows them more freedom to be individuals．
64．Why was Michael so proud of himself?
A．His hard-working mother earned a lot of money．
B．He wore expensive clothes worth $100．
C．He was in a pair of name brand shoes．
D．He was good at playing basketball．
65．Martin was arrested for ___________．
A．killing Thomas
B．robbing several students
C．stealing expensive things
D．murdering three people for their clothes
66．By saying "Clothes had just gotten out of hand", the board president meant clothes were ___________．
A．wasted a lot B．thrown away soon
C．hard to control D．easily worn out
67．According to the text, adopting school uniforms means to ____________．A．have students wear ordinary clothes
B．make students more competitive
C．keep students more disciplined
D．dress students all alike

In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company made what has been known as one of the biggest marketing mistakes．The Coca-Cola Company stumbled onto the new formula （配方) in efforts to produce diet Coke．They put forth 4 million dollars of research to come up with the new formula．The decision to change their formula and pull the old Coke off the market came about because taste tests showed a distinct preference for the new formula．It was a sweeter variation with less tang（浓味), it was also slightly smoother．
A large contribution to the change was that Coke's market share fell 2．5% in four years．Each percentage point lost or gained meant 200 million dollars．A financial analyst said, "Coke's market share fell from 24．3% in 1980 to 21．8% in 1984．" This was the first flavor change since the existence of the Coca-Cola Company．The change was announced on April 23, 1985 at the Vivian
Beaumont Theater at the Lincoln Center．Some two hundred TV and newspaper reporters attended this very glitzy announcement．It included a question and answer session, a history of Coca-Cola, and many other elements．
The change to the world's best selling soft drink was heard by 81% of the U．S．population within 24 hours．Within a week of the change, one thousand calls a day were flooding the company's eight hundred number．Most of the callers were shocked and/or outraged, many said that they were considering switching to Pepsi．Within six weeks, the eight hundred number was being jammed by six thousand calls a day．The company also fielded over forty thousand letters, which were all answered and each person got a coupon for the new Coke．A retired Air Force officer, explained in a letter to the Coca-Cola Company, that he wanted to be buried in a Coke can, but now that this change had come about he was reconsidering．
68．The text mainly tells us about ___________．
A．different aspects of the diet Coke
B．the Coca-Cola company's customer service
C．customers' reaction of the new diet Coke
D．a product change of the Coca-Cola company
69．The test of the new formula ____________．
A．assured the company it will be accepted
B．made a huge profit for the company
C．caused the Coke' s market share to fall
D．pulled the old Coke off the market
70．People called Coca-Cola company mainly ___________．
A．to praise B．to persuade
C．to make complaints D．to make suggestions
71．The retired Air Force officer changed his mind because ____________．
A．new Coke cans are in different designs
B．he dislikes the new taste of diet Coke
C．Coke has become expensive
D．he wanted to try Pepsi instead

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted （抵制) in the market places in spite of the product’s clear advantages．What’s more, the advertising expenditure （支出) for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee．A lot of efforts were made to find the cause of the customers’ seemingly unreasonable resistance（抵制) to the product．The reason given by most people was not being fond of the taste．The producers have doubt that there might be deeper reasons, however．This was confirmed by one of motivation research’s classic studies, one often cited （引证) in the trade．Marson Haire of the University Of California made two shopping lists that were completely the same except for one item．There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified．The seven th item, in fifth place on both lists, read “ 11b．Maxwell House Coffee” on one list and “Nescafe” on the other．One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size．The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe , as far as they could, the kind of women （personality and character) who would draw up that shopping list．Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner．On the other hand, only one woman in the other group who described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner．Eight women felt that the instant- coffee user was probably not a good housewife! No one in the other group drew such a conclusion （结论) about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee．72．The purpose of the study made by Marson Haire was to find out __________．A．why people would not by instant coffee．
B．why instant coffee did not taste good．
C．why women didn’t like to drink coffee．
D．why regular coffee was popular．
73．The result of the study showed that ____________．
A．women who used regular coffee were good planners．
B．most of the women researched were good at reasoning．
C．many women believed that housewives who used instant coffee were lazy．
D．housewives who used instant coffee were lazy．
74．In the study, the women researched were supposed to give their opinions about ___．A．which was better, instant coffee or regular coffee．
B．women’s attitude towards shopping．
C．the necessity of making such a shopping list．
D．the personality of a woman who would prepare such a shopping list．
75．Judging by the result of the study, many women were not interested in instant coffee because ____________．
A．they didn’t trust advertisement．
B．they had a sense of shame about using instant coffee．
C．they wanted to show that they were intelligent．
