Many times my friend June would say, “If I ever get rich, I’m getting a completely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine. But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years ago June did come into a large inheritance(遺產(chǎn)).

At first June said very little about the money. As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared, she became excited. June is a great believer in making lists, so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.

As time went on, what had been midway down the column was now at the top. At last, I said to her, “You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once. Take some time; think about it.” “I know, I know,” she answered with a little bit anger.

Then one morning June called. “I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance. I want to see what you think,” she said. This wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so long.

As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great surprise, she had written only two words: Charities(慈善), and Grandchildren---in that order. Though I had vowed（發(fā)誓）to keep quiet, I couldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision.

“Well,” she said, “I took your advice and thought about it.” She added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need.”

I interrupted. “But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”

“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more,” she answered with a smile.

Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter. June had written: AND one new wardrobe.

41.   From the passage we can learn that the writer ____________.

A. was richer than her friend June                              B. was no richer than her friend June

C. was poorer than her friend June                             D. was interested in money as June

42.   After making a list of how to deal with her inheritance, June ___________.

A. didn’t change it at all                                            B. had a quarrel with the writer

C. asked the writer for advice                                    D. often made some changes of it

43.   When June called the writer to talk about her new decision, the writer ___________.

A. felt that June would do something meaningful

B. refused at first, but changed her mind later

C. was eager to learn more about the new list

D. had decided not to make any comments on June’s list

44.   We can learn from the text that ______________.

A. helping others is more important than buying a bigger apartment

B. friendship doesn’t mean accepting the shortcomings of a friend

C. giving away one’s wealth needs time and courage

D. money can’t bring people real and lasting happiness

“ A very disruptive(擾亂型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher.  “I  broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’  wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal .But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

     Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.

     We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young.  Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time----so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

56. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?

A. The school violence.

B. The pressure of students’ learning

C. The right to achieve students potential.

D. the responsibilities of the students.

57. The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.

A. dissatisfied          B. unconcern     C. understadning    D. tolerance

58. The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________.

A. parents and children live in their separate rooms

B. parents care little about children’s life at home

C. children don’t live with their parents in the same room

D. at home children live a different life from that of parents

59. From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.

A. schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers

B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents

C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn

D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society

60. What might be most suitable title for the passage?

  1. Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
  2. Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
  3. There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home
  4. Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?

These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.

For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.

Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as the world produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil!

But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scraps and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.

Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.

53. What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?

       A. The shortage of energy; Air pollution.

       B. The shortage of energy; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

       C. Air pollution; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

       D. Air pollution; the shortage of fossil fuel.

54.Which of the following is NOT a result of burning garbage?

       A. The heat produced is used to boil water.

       B. The steam produced is used to make electricity.

       C. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.

       D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.

55.According to the passage. Which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?

       A. food scraps and metals                   B. paper and glass

       C. metals and glass                             D. food scraps and paper

56.What is the general tone of the passage?

A. optimistic                        B. indifferent               C. advocating                D. anxious
