Hilary Smith belonged to a good family．But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had．He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison．He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay．

Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary．What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work．The thought of neither of these gave him any pleasure．Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world．He possessed an aunt．

She was his father's only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family．Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done．It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman．Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade．Of course as soon as she became "Mrs．Parks", her brother considered her dead．Later on, Mr．Parks died and left her a lot of money, but that did not bring her back to life in her brother's opinion．

Hilary discovered his aunt's address．Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill．So Hilary's star shone again．When he was feeling honest, he could talk attractively．

He frequently visited his aunt's house, and soon he was living comfortably in the building which the profits of trade had provided．

One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness．Hilary was very worried．Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it．There was only one thing that could save him: her will．

"Will?" she said, "yes, I have made one．That was when I was a girl and had not much money, I left all my money to some religious people．"

　　　 "Didn't you make another will when you were married?" Hilary asked．

His aunt shook her head．"No," she said in a low voice, 'There was no need．When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations．"

On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law．It told him what he already believed．When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value．A new will must be made． If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation．Hilary knew that he was his aunt's only relation．His future was safe．

After a few months had passed, Hilary's problems became serious． He badly needed money．He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers．They trusted him because his aunt was rich, but the debt was terrible．

Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all．In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds．Hilary was now very angry．He began to wonder about a new problem．Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer．So she was going to make a new will．Hilary thought she might leave all her money to someone else．Soon he reached a clear decision．He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman．

One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine．The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever．

“Thank you," his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look．"I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again．Is that what you wish, Hilary? I have given you your chance．Don't blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do．Sick people get these ideas, you know．One thing I ought to explain to you．Mr．Parks never married me．He already had a wife and couldn't marry again．That made your foolish father very angry with me．．．Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor．If I die tonight, you'll get nothing．．．No, Hilary, don't try to take the glass away．If you do that, I shall know, and I don't want to know．Good night, Hilary．"

　　　 Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank．

For 19 years, the owl researcher, Denver Holt, has journeyed to Barrow, Alaska, each summer to map out the relationship between lemmings （旅鼠） that crawl across the tundra （冻原） and snowy owls that hunt them from above．

As he prepares for his 20th field season in the Arctic, he says that the snowy owl has a role to play in understanding ecological changes in one of the fastest changing places in the world．"When lemmings are doing well, everything is doing well," Mr．Holt said．"If climate change results in habitat （栖息地） changes and it affects the lemmings, it will show up in the snowy owls because 90 percent of their diet is lemmings．The owls are the key to everything else．"

Twenty years of data provides an unusually deep look at the animal's population trends．And more research on snowy owls in other parts of the world ?they are found throughout the Arctic could flag changes in the global arctic ecosystem without the need for any other markers．

"It's a believable point," ．．said John W．Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Lab of Qrthinology at Cornell University．"Systems are difficult, and if we have an easily accessible marker for the system beneath it, that's a really good thing, because we can measure cheaply and easily how an ecosystem is doing．It gives us a quick understanding of the situation．"

There is an unscientific reason to study the snowy owl as well, Mr．Holt says．There is something interesting about owls．"People pay attention to owls more than other birds because they look like us," he said．'They have a symmetrical （对称的）face, eyes facing forward, a round, flat face and a round head with feathers that look like hair．"

63．From the passage, we know that lemmings ____．

　　　 A．live mostly on snowy owls　　　　　　 　 B．often change their habitat

　　　 C．are increasing rapidly these days　　 　　　 D．can affect the life of snowy owls

64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　　 B．Climate change has a direct influence on snowy owls．

　　　 C．John W．Fitzpatrick thought Mr．Holt's research and findings were useful and meaningful．

　　　 D．People study snowy owls just for scientific research．

65．The underlined word "flag" in the passage is closest in meaning to "____"．

　　　 A．influence　 　　 B．mark　　 　　　　　　　 C．measure　 　　　　　 D．cause

66．What is the best title for this passage?

A．Mr．Holt's Research on Ecological Changes 　　　　　　　　　　　

B．Changes in Snowy Owls

Today, there's hardly an aspect of our life that isn't being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail．"If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says Microsoft, "a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas．And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza．"

Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers．Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year．"We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend," says Merrill Lynch, "along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity．"

You would be hard pressed to name something that isn't available on the Internet．Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets． And even after you've moved on to your final resting place, there's no reason those you love can't keep in touch．A company called Final Thoughts．com offers a place for you to store "afterlife e-mails" you can send to Heaven with the help of a "guardian angel"．

Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable （能预测的） future．Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation．Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet．Most kids use computers to play games （some for 30 hours or more a week）, and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left．

What's clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back．"The Internet is just 20% invented," says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum．'The last 80% is happening now．"

56．What can we learn from the Microsoft's remark?

       A．Today's cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced．

       B．Information technology is developing at an amazing speed．

       C．Information technology has reached the point where improvement is impossible．

       B．there are some clever ideas on the Internet'

       C．people can find good bargains on the Internet

58．What is the message the author intends to convey?

       A．The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day．

       B．The Internet is going to influence our lives even more in the future．

College is a big deal for American students as well as for Chinese students．During the colle_36_, some parents become extremely worried．This may only _37_ the pressure．

Before I applied to the college, I told my parents I would get everything _38_ out．If I needed any help, I promised that I would ask them．

As it _39_ out, I had no problem putting everything together on my _40_, including my resume （履历） and a basic outline of my activities in high school．The _41_ part where I asked for my parents' advice was the essays．In writing and revising the essays, I needed feedback（反馈） from a（n） _42_．As my parents know me better than _43_ else, they were perfect for the job．

The essays are extremely important in college admissions．In a competitive pool of applicant; the test scores and activities, as well as the recommendations are all going to be very __44_．The essays are the one area in which students can make themselves stand _45_．Essays don't have to be big and complicated．I wrote three essays, all _46_ on small matters and using simple sentences.

The admission officers have to read hundreds of essays a day; they are already _47_ of SAT vocabularies and long sentences．_48_, a straightforward writing style is refreshing．to their eyes as well as their minds．Essays were the key to my success in the admission game．I just wrote about what I wanted to say, not ．what I thought the admission officers _49_ to hear．

In my main narrative-style _50_, I told the story of my American journey at the age of 14 During that time, I was not bogged down（陷入） by trying to fit into a new _51_; instead, I looked up to Mother Teresa for guidance and strength．I found my new _52_ and grew to love the name Teresa and the memories it held．

In my two minor essays, I _53_ the major events of my life, why I loved writing and why my dad is the person who has the greatest influence on me．Both provided details of my character．The essay about writing, which is titled, "I Shall Not Live in Vain" （_54_ by an Emily Dickinson poem）,

earned a lot of praise．

　　　 It is _55_ I really looked into my heart and thought deeply in order to reach my answers．
