When I came home at night, Mum asked, “How did you 32 your lunch, dear?” I answered, “I made some new friends in the supermarket, twin brothers, their mom and dad. They were my customers. They invited me 33 lunch.” Mum was happy that I had made new friends but she wanted to know what kinds of 34 they might be.Several days later, I asked my friends to come to the supermarket where I worked 35 let Mum meet them.

What is the story mainly about?A. Father’s coat was missing.B. Sam found his grandfather through an act of kindness.C. An old man was too cold to live on.D. Sam took care of his sister by himself.BIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or n o education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.46. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a goodjob47. One of the earliest reasons of education was probably to .A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and thinkC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books48. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “” in Chinese.A.圆满的B.崭新的C.公平的D.全面的49. It is expected that educated people will be able to .A. accept education as a way of livingB. take an interest in the worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and mathematics50. The passage mainly tells us that .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get better paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of living五、句型转换（每小题2分，满分10分）51.
