5．Life offers two choices．We can live to survive or to soar to unlimited heights．The choices are modeled by two creatures．
A few months back while sitting in a boat fishing with a couple of friends，I noticed a field mouse on the river bank．He ran out of his hole，ran in a couple of directions，and then ran back inside．I thought of the existence of this little creature．His life is spent running around，frightened and panicky，following his nose．
He darts here，dashes there，turns in circles，but never really sees much beyond his nose．He is trying to smell his way to successful living，which，defined by a mouse's existence，is finding some daily food to sustain himself so that he can carry on for the rest of his life，frightened and frantic．Sounds familiar．
A few minutes later I glanced up and noticed，soaring high above，was an osprey（魚鷹）．I saw a wide winged creature using air currents to fly high．
Rather than simply fighting to exist，this keen-eyed hunter with a broad view of the river，lake and mountains was waiting for the appropriate time to catch his prey（獵物）．This amazing creature glides（滑翔）toward a nest at the top of the tallest of trees instead of returning to some tiny hole in the riverbank．
The strength in his wings，the power in his talons （爪子），the amazing ability of his vision，the effortless capacity to soar…it is the osprey，not the field mouse，that models our human potential．
I don't know about you，but it is easy for me to decide which creature I want to represent my life．I want to soar．I want to explore．I want to see the big picture．I want to conquer．I want to climb higher，go farther，dive deeper and experience more．
I want my soul enlarged，my mind expanded，my heart enlivened and my spirit energized．I want to stop running．I want the frantic chasing of my nose to end．I want new strength，fresh thinking and clear vision．I want to be more and more like the osprey．

59．What is the author's main purpose in writing the article？B
A．To discuss two animals that represent different lifestyles．
B．To discuss what kind of life he wants to live．
C．To explain how he makes difficult choices．
D．To explain how the field mouse and osprey differ in their living habits．
60．According to the author，the field mouseC．
A．has a good sense of direction
B．relies on its fast speed to find food
C．lives in fear in order to survive
D．is constantly under the threat of the osprey
61．What is the author's impression of the osprey？D
A．It is a strong and friendly creature with keen eyes．
B．It reminds us of the importance of patience and timing．
C．The way it preys has much in common with that of humans．
D．The way it lives can inspire us to reach our full potential．
62．Which of the following best describes the author？A
A．Ambitious．B．Sensitive．C．Optimistic．D．Creative．

19．When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the city in the early 1990s，he was called the"piano prince．"His smart looks and passionate（激昂的）music won the hearts of many women fans．Now the"prince"has revealed his new look-with hair shaved（剃O光） off．"It is very environmentally friendly，"Kong said，smiling．"I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair．
But when he talks about his early piano training，Kong speaks of"bitterness"and"hardship．"He says"A pianist has no childhood at all．I didn't understand the games other children played．"
Kong's mother-Lin Youling，who had a great interest in piano-provided him with a keyboard painted on paper．It was on this soundless"instrument"that he began his piano career，at the age of 5．His mother put the"keyboard"in the kitchen and asked Kong to practice on it every day．Kong had to vocalize the notes．"My interest in music declined quickly because the silent′keyboard'made practice very boring，"he said．
When he was 7，Kong's mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him．She almost spent all her savings on the instrument，so it was a real fortune．It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old，"like an old woman's teeth．"Kong used this"old granny"piano for 10years．It stimulated his real passion for learning music because he was fascinated（著迷的） by the beautiful sound of a real piano after years at the paper keyboard．He has kept the old piano to remind him of those days．
Practice is the only path to success．Knowing that，Kong was a hard-working student at school，where he wore out several keyboards on musical exercises．
58．Why did Kong Xiangdong shaved off his hair？B
A．Because his fans like it．
B．Because his hair started to lose．
C．Because it is very friendly to environment．
D．Because he never used shampoo or a hair dryer．
59．The underlined word"declined"in paragraph3means"A"
A．droped         B．enlarged          C．landed           D．raised
60．Why did Kong Xiangdong call his piano"old granny"for 10years in paragraph4？B
A．Because it was of good quality．
B．Because it was of bad quality with yellow and old keys．
C．Because it used to be played by an old woman before．
D．Because it almost took all of his mother's money to buy it．
61．What do we know about Xiangdong in this passage？D

6．However important we may regard school life to be，there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom．Therefore，the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher．They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives．
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools．Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program，manuscript writing and developmental mathematics．Moreover，the classroom teacher，with the permission of the supervisors，can also play an important role in enlightening parents．The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year，as well as new ways of reporting pupils'progress，can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home．
To illustrate，suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night．In a friendly interview，the teacher can help the parent sublimate （升華） his natural paternal interest into productive channels．He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget，buying the food，using a standard or measuring cup at home，setting the clock，calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis．
If the father follows the advice，it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics，and at the same time，enjoying the work．Too often，however，teachers'conferences with parents are devoted to petty （不重要的） accounts of children's misdeeds，complaints about laziness and poor work habits，and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home．
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher，as a professional adviser，plants ideas in parents'minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom．
In this way，the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters'capacities．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14WORDS）

78．Why do parents also have great influence on children？Because their children spend more time with them than with the teacher．
79．Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents？Through informal tea，interviews and reporting pupil's progress．
80．According to the teacher，that parent should let the boyengage in activities that have a mathematical basis if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic．
81．A more creative approach is needed forthe best utilization of the many hoursof children out of classroom．

     A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree．
      But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes （模式）of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong，he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
    I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on．
      I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？"
    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can't stand his outrageous（蠻橫的）words："I can't throw you away，let alone these old papers？"
      All the lights were off except father's．
     Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
     This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
    The light was still on．"Am I wrong？"I whispered，maybe…With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love-it is second to none．
