阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling(拥挤)together inside the storm door on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin?little sandals(便鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
I looked at my shabby slipcovers(沙发套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job ? these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
56. Two children came to the writer’s front door because .
A. it was Thanksgiving Day. B. they were beggars
C. they wanted old papers D. they wanted a cup of cocoa
57. Why did the writer let the children in?
A. She showed great pity on them. B. She had old papers to sell.
C. She wanted to invite them to dinner. D. She wanted them to see how rich she was.
58. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on .
A. how much money you have had B. how you feel about your life
C. how you have helped others D. what job your husband is doing
59. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to .
A. show her husband that someone had come B. remind her that she had helped two children
C. remind her that she was very once rich D. remind her how life should be
B
Small discoveries in
Clues that the little people may have lived long ago
were first revealed last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a
three-foot-tall female on the
Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans,” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.
Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000
years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a
different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger
than we knew. It means, says Brown, that “until recently, a relative shared the
planet with us.”
Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.

Ballroom dancing
Ballroom dancing(交际舞)in the UK used to be seen as something rather unpopular that old people might do. For the past five years though, the popularity of ballroom dancing has soared(高涨)thanks to a reality TV show. Every Saturday night millions of people watch the show which airs from September right up to Christmas. In the show a number of professional ballroom dancers each partner a celebrity(名流). Every week they have to learn a different ballroom dance and perform it live on TV on the Saturday night.
Four judges, all of whom have a background in professional dance, give the celebrities scores and comments about their dances. It is then up to the public to call in and vote for their favorite couple. The two least favorite then have to dance again and the judges decide who stays in the competition and who leaves. The celebrities get to wear colorful dresses to dance in, and it looks like a lot of fun.
The TV program also shows what good exercise
it can be to ballroom dance and what hard work is involved(涉及)in learning the dances and performing them
properly. Dance schools around the country have seen an increase in the number of people wanting to learn how to dance.
And it’s not only older people who are interested. Lots of children and young
people in their 20s are eager to
learn.
The show demonstrates how glamorous(富有魅力的)ballroom dancing is. The format(形式)for the show has been copied in lots of

第一节 填空（共10小题上，每小题1分，满分10分）

注意：每空不超过3个单词。
The US Department of Labor statistics show that there is an oversupply of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly-trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which don’t require a college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts. These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating(灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments go up and up, more and more graduates are overeducated for the kind of jobs available to them.
The development of our society is made by all kinds of workers. Only when the need of them is balanced can our nation process healthily. So parents and teachers are wished to pay more attention to the children’s choices.

One possible version:
Set up a Saving?oriented Campus
It seems that wasting things in today’s campus is a common phenomenon. Sometimes students will forget to turn off the lights before leaving the classroom and the tap water is left running after the students wash their hands. Wasted bread and vegetables are seen in the dining hall everywhere. And, drinking bottles and used textbooks are thrown away while they should have been recycled.
It is true that our living standard has been greatly improved in recent years, but we must know that our country is still a developing country and some areas are underdeveloped. I believe there are many things we can do to set up a saving-oriented campus. First, we must learn to save energy. Second, we must remember that it is not easy for our parents to support us. So we should never buy more food than we actually need.
