Recently, my class went on a three-day trip from Shanghai to Nanjing with only 200 yuan. It was fun and inspiring. We left for Nanjing early in the morning (4:52 a.m. on March 19) by train. Unfortunately, because the tickets were difficult to get, we took the train without seats. The carriage quickly became crowded with students. We stood on the train for over five hours until we arrived at our destination —Nanjing. By that time we all understood how hard it is for migrant workers to return home from a big city.

We had an educational campaign in front of the Memorial Hall to the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on the first day. We all felt the heavy weight of history as we walked quietly around the Memorial Hall. Relics of the war on display frightened and shocked us. We could imagine how hard life must have been for the Chinese people at that time.

On the second day we were divided into groups of seven to nine students. We were assigned to do research about the city, so we had to visit local people and talk with them. As we were told not to take taxis, we traveled around the city by bus or subway. At the end of the day, we were so tired that no one touched the remote control of the television in our bedroom. However, we were all happy that we had learned to get around a strange city and that we understood Nanjing more.

On the last day we went to Yuhuatai. Some students handed in applications to join the Communist Party there. We learnt about the martyrs(烈士) stories and most of us were impressed by their noble spirits. They sacrificed their lives but they won great respect.

Our three days soon came to an end. Sitting on the train back to Shanhai, we happily shared our adventures in Nanjing. Though we were tired, it was a really meaningful trip.

64. How did the students find their three-day trip in Nanjing?         .

A. It was funny but difficult        B. It was happy but tiring

C. It was tiring and meaningless     D. It was inspiring and meaningful

65. What description is the best for the fourth paragraphs?         .

A. having an educational campaign→doing research→going to Yuhuatai

B. leaving for Nanjing→doing research→going to Yuhuatai

C. having an educational campaign→doing research→sharing adventures

D. getting tickets for traveling→having an educational campaign→going

to Yuhuatai

67. What can we infer from the trip on the first day in Nanjing?         .

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.

By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship,but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.

56. In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________.

   D. Her friend’s boyfriend would be in great trouble.

58. We may leam from Paragraph 3 that the writer ________.

   A. didn’t want to go anywhere else

   B. hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend

C. couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable

   B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.

   C. Friendship should be everlasting once begun.

   D. Friendship can have magical power in life.

       At age 61, identical twins Jeanne and Susan no longer look exactly alike. Susan smoked for many years and is an admitted sun worshipper, whose habits Jeanne does not share. A new study of twins suggests you can blame those coarse(粗糙的)wrinkles, brown or pink spots on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight.

       Because twins share genes, but may have different exposures to environmental factors studying twins allows an “opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility(易受影响性),” Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and his colleagues explain in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.

       Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

       But when it comes to skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that both environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.

       Baron’s team examined facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived mostly in the northem Midwest and Eastern regions of the US, who were attending the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002. At this time, each of the twins also separately reported how their skin burned or tanned(晒黑)without sunscreen, their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking. The study group consisted of 52 fraternal(异卵双生)and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status.

       From these data, the researchers noted strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental damage. By contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared related to less skin damage.

       Baron and his colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial aging and potentially avoidable environmental factors—such as smoking, being overweight, and unprotected overexposure to the sun’s damaging rays—may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors.

67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A.Jeanne and Susan share all the habits including smoking.

       B.Skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

       C.Only identical twins can take part in the research.

       D.Sunscreen use cannot help people have less skin damage.

68.Why did Baron’s team do the research on twins?

       A.Twins are more likely to suffer from skin cancer.

       B.It may guarantee the research is not influenced by genetic factors.

       C.It gives others an opportunity to control twins’ genes.

       D.It helps find twins are exposed to different environments.

69.What can you infer from the last paragraph?

       A.This research makes people aware of dangerous lifestyles.

       B.The environmental factors are unavoidable.

       C.Being exposed to the sun is absolutely damaging.

       D.There is little relationship between skin aging and environment.

70.The passage is mainly concerned with___________

       A.skin cancer and environment

       B.identical twins research

       C.aging skin and environmental factors

       D.genes and lifestyles
