C
I go to interview a great man. "What surprises you most in your life?" I ask. The great man answers, "People don't like to be children; when they grow up, they wish to be children again. They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. They think anxiously about the future, but they forget the present, so they live neither for the present nor the future. "
I have never heard of these words. I am silent for a while, write these words down, and then I ask the second question prepared ahead of time, "As a parent, what lessons do you want your children to learn from life?"
The great man answers with a smile, "I want them to learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. I want them to learn that the most valuable thing is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. I want them to learn that it is not good to compare themselves with others. I want them to learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is the one who needs the least. I want them to learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. I want them to learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but do not know how to express their feelings. I want them to learn that money can buy everything but happiness. I want them to learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. I want them to learn that a true friend is someone who likes them anyway. I want them to learn that it is not always enough that they are forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves. "
64. What makes the great man feel puzzled most in his life?
A. People don't like to be a child nor a grown-up.
B. People don't try their best to keep healthy.
C. People don't live a meaningful life.
D. People don't treasure what they own today.
65. Why is the writer silent for a while after having asked the first question?
A. Because he can't hear the great man's words clearly.
B. Because he wants to have enough time to write the answers down.
C. Because he is touched by what the great man says.
D. Because he needs time to think over what to ask next.
66. From the last paragraph, we can learn that______.
A. letting all the people like you is possible as long as you try your best
B. the things in your life is more important than the people in your life
C. the more a person loves you, the more clearly the person can express himself/herself
D. different people have different viewpoints on the same thing
67. After reading the whole passage, we can conclude that the passage is______.

SECTION B
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet
Imagine eating the dishes of 102 different countries in as many consecutive (連續(xù)的)days . That 's what Noah Galuten has done. He raced around the Southland (the name given to the are of towns and cities that surround Los Angeles county in California) for almost four months, indulging in (沉迷于)lunches, dinners and a few breakfast without a break.
Although he's not chef (廚師),Galuten grew up around good food. His mother mainly cooked Italian food, and he recalled standing on a stool (板凳)making sauce when he was sue years old. He also cooked dinners for friends during his college years. And he had experimented and adapted food from many cultures.
Galuten's food journey began after he graduated from college. Unemployed and back in Los Angeles, he decided to try something that he had a passion for. And he hoped it would help him keep his mind off his unemployment depression.
Then he set up a blog and began his food journey. The requirement was to eat one dish at each place. After each meal, he would write a blog about the food, the cost, the environment and the company, It was indeed an incredible challenge. Sometimes Galuten searched online and contacted a friend of a friend for a restaurant tip or seeking out local food companies, he mostly dined at inexpen­sive restaurants.
His journey also used up his savings. Galuten figured that he spent about $ 11, 000 during the 102 - day experiment, including groceries, meals, gasoline, rent and other living cost. Now that he has used up all his money and is $ 4, 000 in debt, he is seriously joy 一 hunting.
But he pointed out, "I feel very happy now, although I am in debt. It's not to say that a lack of money has caused my happiness, because the feeling is not related to money at all. It* s more about doing that is important to you and sticking to what makes you happy, then making it the focus of your life."
81.What led Galuten to start his daily food journey? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
82.How did Galuten collect information for his food journey? (no more than 8 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
83.What can we learn from Galuten's words in the last paragraph? (no more than 12 words)

The Internet is making the world smaller and changing every aspect of our lives. The impact of this, in my opinion, will be strongly felt in the field of education. There are three reasons for this.
First, the Internet provides equal opportunities for all students, as long as they can get access to it. In the traditional form of education, students who get higher marks in examinations may enter a good school, and those who do not, have to enter a relatively less good one. With the Internet, every student is provided with access to the same educational materials, so they have equal opportunities to improve themselves. In that case, the general quality of education will be highly improved in our country.
Second, the Internet presents a challenge to teachers. Traditionally, teachers have controlled education. With the Internet, a student may choose any teacher’s instruction as he wishes. Faced with this, a teacher is likely to try his best to improve his instruction to be attactive and this will in turn improve the educational quality of our country.
Last but not least, the Internet makes education more convenient for students. A student can learn at any time he likes and, at the same time, he can save the money spent on tuition and board. All of these may lead to a revolution in education.
It is true that the Internet may still remain out of the reach of some people and maybe less amicable (友好的) than human teachers. But the point is that the Internet is sure to accelerate the development of education in our country.
Theme
The Internet is strongly affecting 71. _________.
 
72. _________ for this
1) All students are 73. _________ with equal opportunities by the Internet, as long as they can have 74. _________ to the Internet.
In this way, our country’s education will

2) With the Internet, education becomes a little bit 75. _________ to teachers. Teachers have to try to improve their instruction to 76. _________ more students to his classes.
3) The Internet brings 77. _________ to the students and helps them save some money.
Conclusion
Though the Internet is 79. _________ the reach of every person and it is not so amicable, it will make education  80. _________ faster.

My mother seemed to be able to make dolls (洋娃娃) out of anything. She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 36 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 37 like the one our rich cousin had. Her doll 38 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 39 stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.
However, my dream 40 came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business trip with three 41 dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin’s doll and their eyes were just painted ones, but I did not 42 such differences. They were 43 "store-bought" dolls. We each chose one and I named 44 Misako.
Soon my sisters and I became 45. Our "children" kept us 46 all day. We gave them a bath, 47 them, brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them to bed. Several months later, they got more like real children — their 48 and bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
But, by then, 49 interests seemed to have moved into 50 toys. Their dolls were abandoned (被拋棄) and in bad condition. One had 51 one of her arms, and 52 was one-legged. "You can 53 them if you want," my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 54_ dolls. They were more or less handicapped (殘疾) and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 55 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed — being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.

I was born in Mississippi in the 1960s. My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I was a five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P.E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.
In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke(中風(fēng))and died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.
Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watch the house. When my high school ball came around, I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.
My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy(自我辯護(hù))Group. At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment(授權(quán))! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.
Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I ’m proud that I ’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own path.
56. When the writer was in the fifth grade, he   .

E
“How’s the basketball coming on?”
I put down my drink and looked across at the next table. I was curious about that because both the man and the woman were at least 65.
“Oh, I’m not playing much basketball these days,” the woman replied. “But I’m getting much better at golf.”
What’s this, I thought. I opened my packet of crisps, thoughtfully. “I’m still pretty hopeless at chess, I’m afraid,” the man said. “It beat me on level one this morning.”
The penny dropped. These two were the proud owners of computer games.
It’s very likely that one of the results of the development of the silicon chip(硅片) will be that a lot of people will have more exciting ways to spend their leisure time. It already has. Space invader machines are now a familiar sight everywhere. A lot of people play them, and some, particularly school children, get remarkably high scores. How, one wonders, do they find the time (and money) to become so good?
If you have your own computers, the possibilities are endless. You can play any active sports without stepping out of your living room.
You can become an expert at chess or backgammon without ever playing with another human being. Indeed, human beings aren’t needed at all.
So, what of the future? Will we see school children stealing or even robbing to feed space invader machines? Will football grounds lie empty as families sit at home playing video football, or watching the national video football championship? Perhaps, it won’t go that far. But we won’t have to wait long for the Video Olympics. I’m sure of that.
Back in the pub, I stood up, took out 20 pence, and went over to the space invader machine. I may not be much good at beating computers at backgammon, but any space invaders who arrive on Earth anywhere near me had better watch out.
72. The reason why the writer felt curious about the talk between the couple was that ____.
A. he thought they were too old to play basketball
B. they looked young for their age
C. the old seldom went to the bar
D. he didn’t believe they played basketball so well
73. The underlined sentence “The penny dropped.” in the fifth paragraph probably means ____.
A. his wallet was stolen
B. he dropped a penny into the space invader machine
C. he asked for another drink for a penny
D. he’s come to see what they meant
74. The text is mainly written to tell us that ____.
A. computers will make people have a better time in their leisure time
B. the writer was worried about the side effect of computers
C. the old couple were excellent at playing golf
D. school children shouldn’t play space invader machines so much
75. We can infer form the passage that ____.
A. we can do everything without leaving our home in the future
B. the writer was good at playing the space invader game
C. school children will certainly steal or rob to feed the space invader machines
D. the woman is better at playing chess than the man
