I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古色古香的)—all those little houses, looking terribly old fashioned but nice, like doll’s house. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentleman, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You are forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middleses I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

The writer doesn’t like London because she___________.

   A. is not used to the life there now

   B. has lived there for seventeen years

   C prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

   D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

A. In a café      B. In a restaurant    C. In a nightclub       D. In a pub

The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to__________.

A. a taxi    B. the money   C. a bomb      D. public transport

The writer took her neighbor the France for Christmas because she__________.

A. felt lonely in England                                B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family            D. didn’t like the British idea of family

The unimaginable earthquake in Haiti has shocked the world. Thanks to modern communication technology, the world has seen the scale of destruction by the 7.0- magnitude quake. Images on TV and the Internet show the Haiti capital has been reduced to rubble and helpless survivors waiting for relief.
So far, at least 50,000 people are feared dead, and tens of thousands left injured or homeless in one of the poorest countries in the West. The number of dead is rising with each passing hour for a few days. Considering Haiti’s total population is only about 8.5 million, the extent of damage will reach every field of the country’s social structures.
Rescuers from countries such as China, the United States, France and Dominican Republic have already reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food and medicines, life-detecting devices and other rescue equipment. Politicians，workers and Hollywood actors have opened their wallets and called for donations to help disaster relief. The whole world is ready to help them. The world is a village today where no one can remain indifferent when a neighbor falls in disaster.
The suffering of people anywhere in the world strikes the hearts of Chinese people. The death of eight Chinese peacekeepers in Haiti has little to do with it. Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because just less than 20 months ago they were struggling to rise from the earthquake.
Though Beijing and Port-au-Prince have no diplomatic relations, China was among the first nations to send a rescue team and to announce a donation. In the face of natural disasters, respect for human lives overtakes diplomacy and national boundaries. We share the pain of the Haitian people, and we believe China’s experience in rescue and operations and reconstructions will help reduce that pain.
The most pressing task after a quake is the golden-hour rescue operation. Many Haitians are buried under rubble, and relentless efforts must be made to save as many of them as possible. Yet there remains a question on how effectively the flows of aid from around the world be managed. It is here that the UN can play the leading role, for it should be responsible for common humanitarian efforts from across the globe to reach the benefits to the maximum number of people.
After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Asia, some experts said the UN needed to build a well-equipped and trained force disaster rescue specialists and keep it on standby to help people after natural disasters such as the Haiti quake. It is time the UN gave the idea a serious thought, for a life-saving force could play as important as its peacekeeping soldiers.
60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.The number of Haiti’s total population is about 8.5 billion
B.Rescuers from many countries have reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food, water and medicines.
C.Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because we have the same experiences.
D.The flows of aid from the world has been managed well.
61.The word “indifferent” underlined in the third paragraph most probably means ______.
A.cruel         B.friendly        C.cold         D.warm
62. We can infer that people around the world actively help the Haitians because ______.
A.people among countries have close relations
B.earthquake is a natural disaster, people respect human lives, and show common feelings to people in trouble
C.people should be responsible
D.people have ever been rescued by Haitians
63.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.The UN plays an important role
B.We are with you, Haiti
C.People share the pain with the Haitian people
D.Modern communication technology is used widely

When I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.

When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.

Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡樹(shù)) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.

I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.

The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.

1.What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?

A．To build a forest.                        B．To save more lives.

C．To make a lot of money.                   D．To study plants.

2.One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.

A．he often talked to the trees               B．he kicked the trees heavily

C．he never watered the trees               D．he buried the leaves around the roots

3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A．Trees are not as weak as we think.

B．We should listen to others’ advice.

C．Difficulty is necessary for growth.

D．Planting trees is good for the environment.

The world needs more people who are truly kind and caring. Yesterday it was about 11:00 p.m. _36_ my telephone rang. The number was that of a Best Western Hotel.  _37_ I don’t pay attention to this type of call. _38_, this time, for some reason, I went ahead and answered it.

The man on the _39_ end asked if I knew Samuel K., my 91-year-old grandfather. I didn’t _40_ why I was the one he had called. The caller went on to tell me that I was the only _41_ listed in my grandpa’s phone book.

The _42_, Mr. Mason, was the manager of the hotel at which my grandpa had shown up, wanting to rent a room. The _43_ was that my grandpa had no money with him. He was _44_. He had been going _45_ else but had taken the wrong bus and _46_ 100 miles from home. My grandpa just wanted me to tell Mr. Mason that he was a(n) _47_ guy and would pay the money once he got home.

The manager did all he could to help my grandpa, since he didn’t want to _48_ my grandpa, and wanted him to spend a _49_ night. Not only did he take the time to _50_ me, but he also charged just $39 to let my grandpa _51_ safely and comfortably overnight. The rooms in that _52_ normally go for about $140! And then the staff there all _53_ him until my uncle could drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

This is just one more _54_ to show that there are still good people out there. Everywhere you go, you can find someone who _55_ . Thanks, Mr. Mason!
