1．Brother James Kimpton，an Englishman，has been planting trees for a lifetime and doesn't plan on stopping now．The founder of Reaching the Unreached （RTU） has been serving among the poorest and most disadvantaged communities of India for the last 50years．
It's difficult to describe Brother Kimpton's work．He digs wells，builds homes，run schools，dresses wounds，helps the disabled，feeds the hungry，trains the unskilled，and shelters the abandoned．At 27，he was sent on foreign duty to Sri Lanka．For 12year，he taught in the slums（贫民窟）．In 1964when the government ordered all foreigners to leave the country，he caught a ship to India and travelled to the city of Madurai．"The minute I got there I knew I'd come home．"
Brother Kimpton founded an orphanage（孤儿院）in Madurai，a huge organization modeled after Nebraska's Boys Town．But this was only a beginning．The suffering and helplessness he saw in India led him to start RTU．What began as a single，modest medical clinic has today developed into a diverse network of highly efficient programs aimed at comprehensive and sustainable （可持续的）rural development．
There're many wonders at RTU．As an architect，artist，educator，economist，medical worker，James did a lot：over 2000wells have been dug in this area bringing clean，safe water to the villages； over 6000homes have been built and given away to the very poor； daycare centers have been set up that now feed and treat close to 2000poor children every day； over 2000receive free education in the schools he built and runs…
In his last will，Brother Kimpton has requested to be buried at Anbu Illam．Speaking to the audience gathered to celebrate his 50th year of service in Asia，he said，"I'm an Indian by choice．"
He's smiling，but there's something touching in his words．
51．Which of the following is TRUE about James Kimpton？D
A．He went to Madurai on a business trip．
B．He founded an orphanage in Sri Lanka．
C．He does many kinds of jobs to make a living．
D．He has devoted most of his life to helping others．
52．What did James Kimpton mean by saying"I knew I'd come home．B"？
A．He was warmly welcomed there
B．He fell in love with it
C．He was familiar with it
D．He was born there．
53．From the text，we can learn that RTUC．
A．began as a medical school
B．was modeled after Nebraska's Boys Town．
C．focus on the development of rural areas in India．

A．RTU's achievements  
B．James Kimpton's plan
C．RTU's development            
D．James Kimpton's success．
8．We are not who we think we are．
The American self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity．We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility，not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable-a place where brains，energy and ambition are what counts，not the circumstances of one's birth．
The Economic Mobility Project，an ambitious research initiative led by Pew Charitable Trusts，looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time，comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s．Here is the finding："The'rags to riches'story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street．Only 6percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top．
That is right，just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom fifth of the study sample，in terms of income，were able to bootstrap their way into the top fifth．Meanwhile，an incredible 42percent of children born into that lowest quintile are still stuck at the bottom，having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder．
It is noted that even in Britain-a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up．When the three studies were released，most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less，in inflation-adjusted dollars，than did their parents．
One of the studies indicates，in fact，that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force．This is much less true for African-Americans．
The picture that emerges from all the quintiles，correlations and percentages is of a nation in which，overall，"the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one"，as one of the studies notes．
The median income of the families in the sample group was 55，600inthelate1960s；theirchildren'smedianfamilyincomewasmeasuredat71，900．However，this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally．The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor．
Even more troubling is that our notion of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data．Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder，but there is"stickiness at the ends"-four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor，and four out often who are born rich will stay rich．

74．What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research？C
A．Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top．
B．Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches．
C．The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality．
D．The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites．
75．It can be inferred from the undertone of the writer that America，as a classless society，shouldA．
A．perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity
B．have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain
C．enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment
D．encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation
76．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．The US is a land where brains，energy and ambition are what counts．
B．Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains．
C．Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered．
D．Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder．
77．What might be the best title for this passage？D
A．Social Upward Mobility．
B．Incredible Income Gains．
C．Inequality in Wealth．
D．America Not Land of Opportunity．
18．[1]William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865．His childhood lacked the harmony （和睦） that was typical of a happy family．Later，Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered"little of childhood but its pain"．In fact，he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama and poetry．
[2]Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning． He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
[3]Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility to them．As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition．
[4]He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life．______________，he would probably now be valued as a minor （不重要的） poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75．After Yeats's Death in 1939，W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
        Earth，receive an honored guest：
        William Yeats is laid to rest．
        Let the Irish vessel （船） lie
        Emptied of its poetry．
76．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us？（no more than 9 words ）Brief introduction to his childhood．
77．Explain the underlined sentence in paragraph 2．（ no more than 10 words）His theatrical ideas were not well received at first．
78．What does the underlined word"them"in paragraph 3 refer to？（ no more than 3 words）traditional forms
79．Fill in the blanks in the last paragraph with proper words （no more than 10 words）Had Yeats stopped writing at age 58．
80．What can you learn from Yeats as a writer？（no more than 8 words）To succeed，we need faith，persistence．．
5．My morning routine includes shopping at the local convenient store to buy The Daily News．One morning not long ago，the convenience of the store prove（36）Ato people stuck in the（37）Dbehind two small boys．As I approach the counter to （38）Bthe attendant，I noticed the two little guys standing at the front of the line，which was growing （39）Cby the minutes．
The man behind the counter clearly agitated（心烦意乱的） with the boys as his （40）C rose above the morning chatter in the store and he said to them，"Look，you （41）D nineteen cents more to pay for this candy．If you don't have it，you won't （42）A it．"
I （43）C，as the small boys shuffled （移步） from one foot to another without any （44）B，just staring at the attendant，their wide eyes filled with tears．The people waiting （45）A in the line began to complain loudly，"Just go，boys!"I shouted（46）D the noise，"I've got the nineteen cents．Take this dollar for my （47）Cand keep the change towards their candy．"

 He was gone．I suppose it was a"thank you"of sorts and I was content to （52）Dthat I would be the topic of their small （53）Bthat morning．I was the"cool lady"who saved the day by paying for their candy．It made me smile to think that my small（54）Ahad brightened their little world，even if for a （55）D．

3．I was thirteen when my father got hurt．Looking back over the years，I sometimes wonder what I could have done differently that day．Spit twice over my shoulder when I saw the single magpie （喜鹊），maybe．But that's the thing about superstitions （迷信）．You don't know how much power they have until you break them．
We lived in a dark shabby house in Bucks．Wood blocks laid over dirt on the floor．That part of England was full of cherry trees．Chalky soil．
The rice had caught in the bottom of the pot that morning at breakfast and all I could smell was burned rice．Even now when I think of that day I have the taste of burned rice in my mouth．
"I'm going to cut down the old cherry tree，"my father announced．
"You've been saying that for years，"said my mother lightly touching the end of her nose．Her nose ran all year long．Her arms rested on the table，a cup of tea placed between her hands，steam rising into the air．"You'll never get round to it．"
My stomach，balled into a tight little knot （结） relaxed itself．
"Millie's going to cry if you cut it down，"said my younger brother，Simon，his eyes bright as a fox．"Silly Millie，silly Millie．"
"Hold your noise，"said my father patting Simon on the head．"And put back that butter．That's a week's ration （限额） you've got on your plate．"
"The war's over，"said Simon in a low voice．"We haven't had rationing for ages．"Simon was right．Even sugar had come off points．However，we still occasionally received food parcels from distant cousins in Canada．
My father glared at him and then went on．
"Pigs．Burt says he'll come and help me take the tree down if he can have some of the wood．"
"No，"I said springing to my feet．"You can't do it．That's my tree．Always has been．Always will be．I won't let you．"
Tom，took a piece of toast，watching my reaction．My older brother，he knew what the tree meant to me．
"Now then，Millie，"said my father softening his face．"That tree's wild．It's in the way．"
