Relations between the United States and Colombia suffered for many years because of an incident involving（牵涉）the Republic of Panama. By the end of the Spainish－American War in 1898, many Americans felt that an easier and faster way was needed to get ships from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Some people in the United States first believed that a canal across Nicaragua was the answer. However, President Theodore Roosevelt decided that a canal through Panama would be a better choice.
In order to build the canal, the United States had to negotiate（谈判）a treaty with Colombia, which at that time controlled Panama. Roosevelt offered Colombia $ 250,000 a year for 99 years for a six-mile-wide strip of land across Panama. Colombia rejected the United States’ offer. This angered President Roosevelt, and negotiations with Colombia ended.
In 1903, a revolution broke out in Panama. The United States ships were sent by President Roosevelt to protect the Panamanian revolutionaries from Colombian forces. The revolution succeeded, and Panama declared its independence from Colombia. The United States then negotiated with the newly formed government. A treaty was signed, and the United States began building the canal.
As a result of the incident, Colombia and the United States remained on bad terms for many years. Not until 1921, when the United States agreed to pay Colombia some compensation （赔偿）for its lost territory, did relations between the two countries improve.
64. According to the passage, the United States and Colombia were on bad terms because the United States had ________.
A. at first wished to build a canal through Nicaragua
B. promised to pay Colombia $ 10 million for Panama
C. wished to build a canal through Panama
D. supported Panamanian revolutionaries in their fight for independence from Colombia
65. From the information in the passage, it can be concluded that the United States _______.
A. wanted to build a canal because it considered starting a war
B. felt that building a canal through Panama was worth the risk of running relations with Colombia
C. believed that a canal through Nicaragua would be profitable
D. had lost the Spanish-American War
66. It can be inferred from the passage that an important reason for the decision of the United States to build a canal was to ______.
A. develop trade relations with Europe
B. improve relations with South American countries
C. prevent European ships from reaching the Pacific Ocean
D. reduce travel time for its ships in case of war
67. The tone of the passage can be best described as _______.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send …”and so on. Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learn a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it?
Some people try at home with books and records or tapes; some use radio or TV programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
68. According to some advertisements, you ________.
A. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
B. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
C. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
D. needn’t pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
69. Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to ________.
A. read the literature of the country
B. read books and reports
C. do their work better
D. go to foreign countries
70. Learning a foreign language is a hard job _______.
A. only for scientists and doctors
B. only for the students at school
C. for those people at home
D. for most people
71. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Don’t believe advertisements.
B. How to learn a foreign language.
C. Is a foreign language easy to learn?
D. Why do people learn a foreign language?
E
In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally （晚期的）ill patients －even when those patients are their parents. This deprives （剥夺）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally ill patients
in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential（潜在的）outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies （幻想）. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up －to－date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
72. The e lders of today’s Americans _________.
A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying
B. are unfamiliar with birth and death
C. usually see the birth or death of a family member
D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
73. Children in America are deprived of the chance to _________.
A. visit a patient at hospital
B. visit their family members
C. learn how to face death
D. look after the patients
74. The need of a dying patient for people to accompany （陪伴）him shows ________.
A. his wish for communication with other people
B. his fear of death
C. his unwillingness to die
D. he feels very upset about his condition
75. It may be concluded from the passage that _________.
A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition
B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided
D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need

Report on the survey about our school uniforms
I did a survey about our school uniforms in which I asked some of my classmates what they thought about our uniforms. The result is that the majority（60%）like it. They think it’s fashionable and has a nice color. Besides, it’s neat and tidy. At the same time, they feel there is no need to follow fashion. However , another 30% don’t like it. They find it uncomfortable to wear it and the color is too dull. Moreover, they consider it old fashioned and simple－styled. The rest of the people I surveyed, i.e. 10% have no idea about it, because they don’t care about clothing.

（Text 10）
Many people go to school for a good education. They learn language, history, maths and other subjects. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula in maths, but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to maths problem. Great inventors do not get everything from school. but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things, he didn’t have much school education. How do they do all this? Because they know how to study. A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their heads.
