In the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.
In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.
When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous fo r her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”
Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.
Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the
government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painting training center for them.”
Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yuan. That’s much higher than average salaries in the area.
This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.
29. How was life for the disabled people in the past?
A. With the help of the government, they led a comfortable life.
B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.
C. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.
D. They had to learn to paint to earn a living.
30. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent years
B. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these years
C. the disabled had to earn a living by working
D. more and more disabled people will learn to paint
31. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.
A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing works
B. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintings
C. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sold to foreigners
D. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brought abroad
32. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. A kind of folk art in China.
B. Knife-drawing was first developed in Dunhua.
C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.
D. China helps the disabled find jobs.

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.
Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of
things you can do. You can do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW). You can use QQ to chat with your friends, and they will make responses in a few seconds. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also go shopping by the Internet without going out.
There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or l arge companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.
There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at your spare time.
Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. It is also possible for you to discuss some projects or assign the work on the Internet instead of at a meeting. In addition, you can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?
33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Doing with information on the Internet.
B. Using the Internet to communicate with friends.
C. Things we can do by the Internet.
D. Going shopping by the Internet.
34. Which may be the most possible place for people to work in the future?
A. In the office.
B. At home.
C. At school.
D. In the company.
35. What does the writer try to tell us with the last two sentences?
A. English is important in using the Internet.
B. The Internet is more and more popular.
C. Most of the information is in English.
D. Every computer must have the Internet.

41．C根据后面的故事可以推测出，有钱人想弄清楚到底人们是否值得他去帮助。

42．A根据下文内容可知，有钱人把一块大石头放在路中央。

43．D藏到树后等待着看谁把石头搬走。

44．A该句缺少的是主语，故应表示：“是谁把这块石头放在路中间的呢？”
45．D由下文第50空所在句．.. not one of them tried to remove it可知，他没有想办法把石头搬走。

46．B根据前面的instead可判断，老人没有移开石头，而是费力地绕过去了。

with difficulty“费力地”；with anger“生气地”；with curiosity“好奇地”；with doubt“怀疑地”。

47．C根据上下文可知，老人继续赶路。

48．B根据下文的then another came, and another可知，又一个人经过，做了同样的事情(没有移开石头，而是绕过它继续赶路)，选择same最符合语境。

49．B因为没有人搬开石头，所以应该是每个人都抱怨路中心的石头。

50．C虽然抱怨，但是没有一个人去把它搬走。

前后之间是转折关系，所以用but。

51．C由下文第52空所在句The night will be very ...可知，应该是下午的晚些时候。

52．A根据下文Some neighbor will come along later in the dark可知，晚上是很黑的。

53．B在晚上人们可能会被石头绊倒(fall against the stone)。

54．B有了上文的这个想法后，年轻人就开始搬动石头。

55．B他用尽所有的力气搬动这块石头。

pushed and pulled with all his strength表示“用尽他所有的力气又推又拉”。

energy“精力，能量”；force“暴力”；effort“努力”。

56．D他只想着把石头搬走，没有想到石头底下有钱，所以见到钱一定很意外、很吃惊。

57．B根据下文内容可知，这里指的是一袋子钱。

58．A这袋子钱是为那些关心别人，把石头从路上搬走的人准备的。

thoughtful“关心别人的；考虑周到的”。

59．D根据第一段第二句．.. whether they deserved his help.可知，此处表示“那个人值得帮助”。

60．A根据上下文内容可知，如果我们能多为他人考虑、多关心他人，我们一定会生活得更好，工作得更精彩。

consideration“考虑，体谅，关心”。

Dear Paul,
I feel sorry for you and understand the great trouble you are suffering from. First of all, I suggest that you should share your trouble with your teachers and classmates so as to get help from them. Secondly, you are not supposed to care about your exams all the time, which only makes you more stressed out. Instead, you should be in search of your advantages and progress in your study, which is well worth. In addition, I advise you to take part in more exercise in your spare time to relieve your stress, because sports will also help you sleep better at night.
I hope you will get out of your trouble sooner and live happily.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming。
