According to the passage，President Jackson _A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to r ead important papers by himselfC．often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading, writing or spelling58．According to the first story, the term ―OK‖____A. was approved of by President JacksonB was the title of some Official documentsC．was first used by President JacksonD．was an old way to spell“all correct’’59 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”___A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s clubD．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the electionBFor millions of years, sharks have been the kings of the oceans, the top of the food chain. But these days, the hunter has become the hunted, because of better methods from commercial fishermen who are looking for fins(鱼鳍) to make expensive soup sold mostly in Asia. Shark fins are far more valuable than shark meat, so fishermen cut the fins off live fish and throw the sharks overboard to maximize thecatch they bring back.Shark finning is illegal in the United States, but there’re tournament sport fishermen, who target and kill the biggest ones they take from the sea. These tournaments, the prizes of which can reach $5,000 or more, attract large crowds of anglers but also draw protests from animal rights groups and environmentalists.The competitors say they are enjoying a fun and legal sport, the impact on the overall shark population is very small, and most of the sharks caught are returned to the ocean. Dave Johnson, who is from Kennebunkport, Maine, said no one ever comes close to the limit set by the government of killing one shark per day during the three-month season.―I enjoy watching these animals, but I also enjoy catching and releasing (释放) them, and very rarely killing them and eating them,‖ he said. ―If I thought killing one shark was endangering (危及) the species and contributing to their decline I’d stop doing it tomorrow.‖That is exactly what marine biologists like Luke Tip ple want to happen. ―I believe that they should just stop it. In fact, we don’t need to be targeting, in any way, any of these threatened populations,‖ he said. Up to 73 million sharks are killed annually, and many species are at risk of extinction (灭绝).60.Fishermen throw the sharks back into the sea after catching them to ______.A. drop useless shark meatB. let them grow new finsC. avoid law punishmentD. make higher profits61.The underlined part ―anglers‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A. angry animal activistsB. tournament organizersC. commercial fishermenD. lovers of shark fishing62.Johnson’s words suggest that ______.A. he opposes killing sharksB. he will soon quit the hobbyC. he believes sharks are endangeredD. he feels his behavior is of little harm63.In Tipple’s opinion, ______.A. no shark should be caught or killedB. the tournaments should target common speciesC. sport fishermen should release sharks in timeD. more strict limits should be set by the governmentCIS IT TIME TO GET MP3?Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC (personal computer) if they’re in the MP3 format. What is it?MP3 compresses music into small computer friendly files. You access MP3 musicseveral ways : Music can be downloaded from websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3.

It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP3. com. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type ―MP3 sites‖into any search engine.

Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.DisadvantagesYou may find that music at many sites is limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings. Others let you download music that then can’t be copied to MP3 players.

We usually get nothing but complaints．’’68．From the passage，we understand that ________A the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB．the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers C．the author received the same education as most people during his childhood D．the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 69．According to the author ________A. giving means you will lack moneyB. the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC. you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD．when you give away money，you will be rich60．In reply to the postmaster’s question．the author said _______A．it was the special deliveryB．it was the post-office boxC．it was the note of appreciation he wroteD it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. _71__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. _72__ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ ―Academics are important. But if you don’t have e motional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,‖ she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard andreally listen to others. _75__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club o r a team that has a diverse membership, have a ―sharing circle‖ with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. ―One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,‖ Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of ―emotional intelligence‖ that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.三、短文改错英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。
