阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中,选出最佳选项。

                               A

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. “ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

56. What is the main subject of the passage?

A. The relationship between mark and Steve.

B. The important lesson Mark learned in school

C. Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.

D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

57.It can be inferred from the passage that when mark confessed to Mrs.Holt, __________.

A. he felt surprised  B. he was light-hearted  C. he felt frightened D. he knelt before her

58. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?

A. Respect for personal property.      B. Respect for life.

C. Sympathy for people with problems.  D. The value of honesty.

59. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?

A. Respect for living things.  B. Responsibility for one’s actions.

C. The value of the honesty.   D. Care for the property of others.

60. Which of the follow is true according to the passage?

A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.

B. Mark lost the small dog his father carved.

C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.

D. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. in addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

64. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.

A. life for a child is comparatively easy

B. a child is always loved whatever he does

C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return

D. only children are interested in life

65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. People are often satisfied with their life.

B. Life is less interesting for old people.

C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.

D. Adults should no longer rely on others.

66. The main idea of the passage is _________.

A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains

B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard

C. childhood is the move enjoyable time in one’s life

D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life

67. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _________.

A. examples of successful young men

B. how to build up one’s position in society

C. joys and pains of old people

D. what to do when one has problems in life

                       D

“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good”―these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students―“so passive”―and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’ s passivity. “We’ re talking about a generation of kids who’ ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’ s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.

68.Children are becoming more inactive in study because ____.

A. they watch TV too often B. they have done too much homework

C. they have to fulfil too many duties D. teachers are too strict with them

69.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on_____.

A. learning Latin       B. discipline

C. natural development  D. education at school

70.By“permissive period in education”(L.1,Para.2)the author means a time ___.

A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to

B. when everything can be taught at school

C. when every child can be educated

D. when children are permitted to receive education

71. The main idea of the passage is that____ .

A. parents should leave their children alone

B. kids should have more activities at school

C. it’s time to be more strict with our kids

D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that ?repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.

Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.

What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years.. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.

72. The purpose of advertising is ____.

A. to increase product sales

B. to make a product much better

C. to spend more money

D. to reduce the production

73. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase "hand in hand" ?

A. Here and there.    B. Again and again.

C. As usual.         D. At the same time.

74. What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?

A. A11 the money on advertising was wasted.

B. Not all the advertisements were well designed.

C.A11 the managers knew about advertising then.

D. Managers spent no money on advertising.

75. What does the writer think of advertising?

A. Useless. B. Unnecessary. C. Important. D. Wasteful.

Dear Editor:

I’m  a senior three student. I’m  writing to tell you my opinion on whether middle school students can go to school with mobile phones. I think they can’t do that.

 Some students think they can stay in touch with their friends and family wherever they are by using phones,and the mobile phone is a way to have fun.

However, there are some problems with using mobile phones. The ring of phones can disturb teachers and students in the classroom. Another problem is that some students can spend too much time and money on phone calls and sending messages. Especially they waste much time playing games in mobile phone.

In my opinion ,  students should  not use phones in the school. Do you agree with me?

Yours sincerely,
