All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

68. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful.

C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.

69. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because _______.

A. she had already finished them B. my mother had taken them away

C. she forgot where she had left them D. someone in my family was holding them

70. The underlined part to the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.

One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. 21   in the 22   store, I had my pocket 23  and my whole salary was gone with it. I was so angry that I almost lost 24  of myself. What could I do? We were not very rich. The money was really not a small sum for my family. It would 25  our life greatly. How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even 26  for losing the money then I got home. To make up for my 27   mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then prepared a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to 28   her.
When she came home, I 29   a smile to 30   her. She was 31   to see the neat house and delicious meal. We sat at the table and began to eat. I told my story   32   . She did not 33   .It was as if she had not heard my words.
“I’ve lost my salary,” I murmured to her again.
“I see,” she did not shout at me as I had  34   . She didn’t lose her  35   . So I was afraid she was trying hard to  36  her anger.
A moment later, my wife was still 37   and seemed to be enjoying her favourite dish. At last I could not keep asking, “I’ve lost the money. Why not shout at me?”She  38   her eyes, looking at me and said, “oh, on the contrary, I’m thinking about how to  39  you. It’s  40  who is to blame.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：选择题（共15小题，每小题２分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house, reduced to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty．

Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate．“You from New Orleans?” she asked．I said I was, “No charge,” she said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened．

As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押贷款）on our ruined house．We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory．We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine, and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans．

It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plans to go back．Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．

Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity．It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance．

56．What do we know about James Kennedy?

A．He was a writer of an online magazine．

B．He was a poet at the University of Florida．

C．He offered the author a new house free of charge．

D．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail．

57．It can be inferred from the text that ______．

A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty

B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster

C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area

D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank

58．The author learned from his experience that ______．

A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary

B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases

C．people benefit from their sad stories

D．human beings are kind after all

My wife was driven mad, so don’t be _________ by products claiming to help you lose weight in a week．
