A
In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened(變平的) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation(構(gòu)造) like five dots （點(diǎn)）. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain—usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it .Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke ,or farmers were making them to attract tourists .To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn’t do it .They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate（交流）with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash（墜毀）.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
61. In the summer of 1978 , an English farmer discovered in his field that______.      
A．some of his wheat had been damaged
B．his grain was growing up in circles
C．his grain was moved into several circles
D．some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground
62. According to the text, the underlined part “hoax” (line 1, para.3 ) probably means       .
A．a(chǎn)n action made to fool people
B．a(chǎn) special way to plant crops
C．a(chǎn) research on the force of winds
D．a(chǎn)n experiment for the protection of crops
63. Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？
A．The farmers couldn’t step out of the field.
B．The farmers couldn’t make the circles round.
C．The farmers couldn’t leave without footprints.
D．The farmers couldn’t keep the wheat straight up.
64. That the crop circles are made by       is probably true.
A．a(chǎn)ir movement                               B．a(chǎn)irplane crashes
C．new farming techniques                 D．unknown flying objects

71     You don’t need to admire those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
72    When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; when you get success, people will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy.     73    If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.   74   _  When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly that you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋轉(zhuǎn)的） door.  75  If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
A.All these are your happiness.
B.Without money, we can live a happy life.
C.Happiness is for everyone.
D.She has no chance to go to school.
E.It is a feeling of your heart.
F.You are happy when you help a helpless man.
G.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.

FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.
"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.
During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time. "I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained. Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams. The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.
Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends. "I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dear dad with me," she said.
Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong. "I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.
Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel (好強(qiáng)的). It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.
56. Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.
A. her father was badly injured in a car accident  
B. her grandma died when she was 12
C. her mother passed away when she was 3  
D. misfortune in her life forced her to do so

A. Li Qinmei doesn’t like others talking about her father
B. many young students hate going to school with their parents
C. Li Qinmei has made great progress in her study
D. Li Qinmei has lost three relatives and has to take care of her father
58. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “hanging out” in the passage?_________.
A. playing outside    B. working hard    
C. exchanging ideas    D. talking happily

B
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo(竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience （恢復(fù)力）comes to mind.  When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（突然折斷）? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
　　During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured（忍耐） unpleasant physical symptoms（癥狀）.
　　Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
　　If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!
60．When the writer talks about the bamboo trees, he wants to tell us          .
A．he can’t forget those bamboo trees
B．he used to watch them bend under pressoure and return to their upright position
C．he still remembers the good days as a child
D．he admires the character of the bamboo trees
61．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience.
B．When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient.
C．If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate.
D．If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms.
62．What does the writer mean by saying “Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you?”
A．You should make the best of the situation.
B．You should try your best to get the best situation.
C．You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation.
D．You should try your best not to give up the best situation.
63．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My fondest memories     B．Good times and bad times
C．Enjoy the peace and quiet       D．Bend, but don’t break

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.  71 
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration.  72 Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.
  73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful.  74 
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.  75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
A．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.
B．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
C．They are not less likely to make mistakes.
D．Some children get a weekly allowance.
E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.
G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
