One of today's hottest topics among women （and to an extent among men too now） is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age．The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks，ranging from economical to highly priced．
And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted （被過度吹噓的） anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do，how precisely do they perform their miracles?
Well the appropriate response to that is that they do work - after a fashion．There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application．But this really is the limit of their powers: they won't actually undo skin damage or eradicate （根除） all signs of age；they will simply modify them，some more effectively than others．
The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water，serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier．But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep，as it were，skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle cream．
This means fairly heavy regular use，which might be costly depending on your choice of product．However，if you can afford it or think it's worth the cost，it won't be such an issue．After all，what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem and sense of identity．
A compromise （折中） solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams．In addition，it's always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best．
So，to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits，depending on your objective．
71．This passage mainly tells us something about __________.
A．a(chǎn)nti aging creams B．a(chǎn)nti aging foods
C．a(chǎn)nti wrinkle face D．a(chǎn)nti wrinkle skin
72．According to the author，we can infer __________.
A．a(chǎn)nti aging creams must reverse the signs of age
B．skin damage must not reappear after using creams
C．a(chǎn)nti aging creams should be properly used
D．skin damage will disappear forever after using creams
73．The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that __________.
A．they remove upper layers of dead skin cells
B．they make deeper layers absorb water
C．they make layers look fuller and healthier.

74．The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is __________.

D．having a lot of money
75．Fairly heavy regular use will make you __________.
A．spend much money on your choice of product
B．easily afford your choice of product
C．think your choice of product wrong
D．believe your choice of product right
71．A 主旨大意題。整篇文章介紹的是抗衰老護(hù)膚霜的一些情況。
72．C 推理判斷題。ABD的表述中的must及forever均太絕對。所以C項的正確使用抗衰老護(hù)膚霜是正確的。
73．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的表述可知ABC都正確，而D項說使皺褶的皮膚粗糙顯然不是好處。
74．B 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)下文的cheaper可以知道on a tighter budget應(yīng)指的是“錢少，不寬裕，拮據(jù)”。
75．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product．”這句話中的“costly”可以知道要花很多的錢。

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.
Few places have as much ancient history and modern knowledge to offer to students as Egypt. In addition to being the site of many of the world’s greatest wonders, Egypt also hosts two major religious institutions. Al-Azhar University is one of the oldest Islamic institutions for higher studies. The head of Al-Azhar is traditionally regarded as the ruler of Sunni Muslims all over the world.
Al-Azhar University had long been known as the most archaic university in the world until 2004, when archaeologists unearthed the site of what was believed to be the first ever ivory tower in the world in the northern seaside city of Alexandria.
What the archaeological team found were 13 lecture halls that could accommodate up to 5,000 students each. These lecture halls are believed to be the University of Alexandria, home of famous Greek scholars like Archimedes and Euclid during the ancient city’s golden era.
This discovery shows that Egypt was a centre for education and learning in the early world civilizations. Its tradition of scholarship was evident even from the Pharaonic Age（法老時代）, which boasted engineering wonders such as the pyramids as well as the scientific wonder of mummies, all of which still exist tod 
ay.
During the Islamic Age, Egypt became the regional academic centre for Islamic study and Arabic language and literature. Her popularity with scholars from all over the world grew with the establishment of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, in 975.
Today, it remains a popular destination for international scholars, especially those from the Arab world, Africa, Asia and Europe, but like most modern Egyptian universities, Al-Azhar has been equipped with the latest technologies to cope with new demands from the modern world, and is an ideal place for students from all over the world.
Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “ archaic” .(one word)
Why has Al-Azhar been equipped with the latest technologies?(no more than 9 word)
What is the passage mainly about ?(no more than 6 word)
What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?(no more than 9 word)

Seventeenth-century houses in colonial North American were simple structures that were primarily functional, carrying over traditional designs that went back to the Middle Ages. During the first half of the eighteen century, however, houses began to show a new elegance. As wealth increased, more and more colonist built fine houses.
Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies, the design of buildings was left either to amateur (業(yè)余) designers or to carpenters who were engaged in translating architectural handbooks imported from England. Inventories of libraries shows an astonishing number of these handbooks for builders, and the houses built during the eighteenth century show their influence. Nevertheless, most household architecture of the first-quarters of the eighteenth century displays a wide divergence of taste and freedom of application of the rules laid down in these books.
Increasing wealth and growing sophistication (文化修養(yǎng)) throughout the colonies resulted in houses of improved design, whether the material was wood, stone, or brick. New England still favored wood, though brick houses became common in Boston and other towns, where the danger of fire gave an impetus (推動) to the use of more durable material. A few houses in New England were built of stone, but only in Pennsylvania and areas nearby was stone widely used in buildings. An increased use of brick in houses and outbuildings is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland, but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners. In the Carolinas, even in closely packed Charleston, wooden houses were much common than brick houses.
Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvements over the former ones. Windows were made larger and shutters removed. Large, clear panes replaced the small leaded glass of the seventeenth century. Doorways were larger and more decorative.
Fireplaces became decorative features of rooms. Walls were made of plaster or wood. White paint began to take the place of blues, yellows, greens, and lead colors, which had been popular for walls in the earlier years. After about 1730, advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers.
【小題1】What’s the passage mainly about?
| A．The improved design of eighteenth-century colonial houses. |
| B．A comparison of eighteenth-century houses and modern houses. |
| C．The decorations used in eighteenth-century houses. |
| D．The role of carpenters in building eighteenth-century houses. |
| A．More architects arrived in the colonies. |
| B．The colonists developed an interest in classical architecture. |
| C．Bricks were more readily available |
| D．The colonists had more money to spend on housing. |
| A．professional architects | B．customers | C．interior decorators | D．carpenters |
| A．generally ignored | B．broken by professional architects |
| C．not strictly stuck to | D．only followed by older builders |
| A．description | B．developing | C．difference | D．interest |
