A

（Mr. Jones, the owner of a farm, was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he raised. The animals were excited to be free and independent. More important, they were masters of their own and, of course, their farm. Animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.）
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a freind.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.
It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “freind” and one of the “S’s” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart.
“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders（乳房）were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets（桶）and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters（蹄子）being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.
“What is going to happen to all that milk?” said someone.
“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.
“Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.”
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.
41. Who is the leader of the animals?
A. Snowball. B. Jones. C. Napoleon. D. Cows.
42. When does the story take place?
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter.
43. What can we infer from the story?
A. The animals are doing a play.
B. The animals will live a equal life.
C. The animals are having a revolution.
D. The animals don’t think they are equal.
44. Who is regarded as the animals’ enemy?
A. The chicken. B. The human being.
C. The cow. D. The pig.

“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal（罪犯）hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.
Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide, and forests and deserts, as well. Besides, he’s usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. But the criminals know that as public enemies, they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide.
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake, they’ll get him. That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep. That’s why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound.
The FBI began on May 10th, 1924. General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer, to head the new agency（机构）. “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force, ” he said. “Criminals today are smart. They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock, using advanced technology. We can’t beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically. ”
Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers, they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle（处理）a teacup as well as a gun. But the FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.
45. A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is ________.
A. not at all useful B. very helpful for a while
C. necessary for staying free D. important and useful
46. Before he worked with the FBI, Edgar Hoover was a ________.
A. policeman B. lawyer C. teacher D. general
47. The FBI was begun in order to ________.
A. offer jobs B. reduce crimes
C. fight crimes scientifically D. bring younger men into police work
48. A man who can “handle a teacup as well as a gun” has both ________.
A. manners and courage B. kindness and strength
C. wisdom and energy D. humor and ability
C
Kids in a Sudanese refugee（难民）camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football. NBA superstar Tracy McCray watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass pitch（运动场）for $1. 000.
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do something ― anything ― to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not what the kids need.
This scene appears in 3 Point, a new documentary（纪录片）, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face to face with the reality that life is more than sport.
McGrady,29, writes on his website that
he traveled to
And he did. He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine（饥荒）. He slept in a tent. He kept away from minefields. He talked with people who have been suffering. And he swallowed（咽下）his pride.
But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass. Sports gave him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.
McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college.
Instead, he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people.
As McGrady would learn in
Only McGrady knows how this
McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.
But, perhaps, now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world.
49. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. While in
B. The trip to
C. McGrady should be blamed for wanting to buy kids grass pitch.
D. McGrady suffered as much as the African kids in his childhood.
50. What does the underlined word “eyed” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Admired. B. Selected. C. Examined. D. Researched.
51. After becoming an NBA player, McGrady ________.
A. leads a different life from ordinary people
B. lives far away from other people
C. was once removed from NBA
D. refused to go to college
52. In this passage, the writer mainly tells us ________.
A. McGrady took a trip to
B. African people lead a poor life today
C. African people don’t take sport for life
D. McGrady offered his help to African children
D
If you have a
chance to go to
Take the taxi
drivers for example. Taxis in
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记）card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
53. The underlined words in this passage means to “________”.
A. be ready to help others B. make good use of one’s friends
C. be a little ahead of others D. gain something at other’s expense
54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
B. While taking a
taxi in
C. In a big hotel
in
D. The bosses in
55. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. there are many
loopholes in everyday life in
B. the Finnish society is of very high moral（道德）level
C. in
D. everyone in
56. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Life in
C. What a Life D. Honest accounts of the Finns
E
Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media（媒体）web site has earned a fame for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my education party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had found me out, after all.
I learned from his profile（简介）that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I’m pretty sure we won’t e-mail each other quite often, let alone write letters. But he’ll remain a friend of mine until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family
members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of
friends. There are
A person could make a mission（团体）out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are fates worse than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule（安排）face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That’s normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty（内疚的）for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch（拐杖）. Some things shouldn’t be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
57. According to Paragraph 1, the web site is famous because ________.
A. it has an interesting name of “Facebook”
B. it reminds people of the events in the past
C. it can send people a greeting of some kind
D. it helps people get in touch with old friends
58. From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer ________.
A. asked the friend to email him only
B. would write to the friend quite often
C. did get some information on the friend
D. would keep in touch with the friend forever
59. What does the writer mean by saying “However, convenience can be a crutch”?
A. The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell crutch on line.
B. Convenience is dangerous for human communication.
C. Taking a crutch is a new way of making friends on line.
D. Convenience is not really good for human communication.
60. What does the author think of the convenience of communicating on line?
A. There will be no ways of making real friends on line.
B. The social web site of Facebook means nothing at all.
C. The technology could not keep true friendship forever.
D. People will not lose friends with the help of the Facebook.

One possible version:
Dear Bill,
Thank you for your letter and care. When the earthquake happened, we were about to begin our afternoon classes. The earth shook violently under our feet and we couldn’t stand steadily. The teachers and students were frightened but luckily nobody was hurt. For the next few days we didn’t go to school. But things returned to normal soon. All the school buildings were checked thoroughly to make sure that they are safe enough. Some buildings are forbidden to use and rebuilt. Since the teaching facilities in some areas were heavily damaged and the students there cannot practice listening properly, the English listening test in this year’s college entrance examination is cancelled. The entrance examination is only forty days away and we’re busy preparing for it. How about you?
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Best wishes!
Yours,
