I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly. About a year and a half ago a 59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated(切除)and she didn’t have a family to take care of her after the operation.
This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the Care Center.

In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing goods.
She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are ing forward of her quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.
We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn’t. She didn’t have a family and probably felt fotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire Care Center.

Why buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. Artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it’s worth every penny. Anyone can buy art for almost any reason. Many people buy art simply because they like it, even if the artwork may be by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.
Art Is for Enjoyment
Art is meant to be shown. Don’t ever feel pressured to buy something you won’t enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don’t buy something that doesn’t attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artwork will make a good investment. If you don’t like the artwork at all, don’t buy it!
Art Improves Your Environment
Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(不可分割的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique ambience(格调) in your home and make it more attractive.
A rt Make a Statement
The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.
Art Enriches Your Life
Love (even the love of a work of art) contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend specious time and resources on it?
Just remember to select something that will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Happy art collecting!
61. Aording to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art?
A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.
B. Whether it is fashionable at present.
C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.
D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.
62. The underlined sentence in the passage probably means_______.
A. art can show what you look like
B. art is an expression of what you are
C. a mirror has the feature similar to art
D. a mirror can be a true work of art
63. From the passage, we can learn that art ______.
A. is a good way to make big money
B. improves your sense of the environment
C. can make you live longer
D. is a waste of money for most collectors
64. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To advise people to buy art works.
B. To remind people to be careful with expensive art.
C. To teach people how to choose art works.
D. To explain the benefit art can bring to people.
65. In which part of the newspaper are you most likely to find this passage?
A. Health Report B. Art & Life
C. Life Story D. Painting & Celebrity (名人)

C
Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely act of stealing or an even cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime（犯罪）, because the criminals are birds―homing pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind―one that avoids（避免）not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (advertisement) in the newspaper asking for help.
The thought is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars?seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
66. After the car owner received a phone call, he _______.
A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C. sent some money to the thief by mail
D. told the press about it
67. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to _______.
A. the car thief who stays at home
B. one of those who put the ads in the paper
C. one of the policemen in Changwa
D. the owner of the pigeons
68. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _______.
A. how easily people get fooled by criminals
B. what Chen thinks might be correct
C. the thief is extremely clever
D. the money paid is too little
69. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. criminals B. pigeons
C. the stolen cars D. demands for money
70. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because _______.
A. he reads the ads in the newspaper
B. he lives in the same neighborhood
C. he has seen the car owners in the park
D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them
D
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a puter," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography（自传）, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an anization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ―again―and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overe her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've e to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
71. Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't plete her high school.
D. She didn't follow her mother's advice
72. We can know that before 1995 Mary_______.
A. had two books published
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a puter
D. supported the JDRF by writing
73. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her_______.
A. living with diabetesB. suessful show business
C. service for an anizationD. remembrance of her mother
74. When Mary received the life-changing news, she_______.
A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet
C. tried to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way
75. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Mary feels pity for herself.
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

第四部分：一，阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题，请将答案写在答题卡相应位置。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
[1]With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
[2]Of course, a small family had its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future suess.
[3]However, ______________________. The only child bees the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of being aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to e.
[4]On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be suessful, it may mean he or she is being a model for other children to learn from.
[5]Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is being easier to afford several children.

书面表达参考答案：
On the Inter
The Inter is playing a more and more important part in our daily life. We can not only read news from home and abroad, but also get information， send emails, make phone calls, attend on-line schools， read various books and study English by ourselves. What’s more, people can enjoy music, watch sports matches, play all kinds of games and go shopping on-line. However, it’s risky to make friends and shop on-line. What’s worse, some students who are addicted to the Inter don’t study hard and even quit school.

Americans like to have meetings. In the United States, there are about eleven million meetings taking place every workday. The reason is that people can often find better ideas when they get together. A meeting gives each member a chance to present his or her ideas and to discuss them with others. People hope that they can make better use of their time and money in this way. However, meetings must be controlled. If everyone wants to have a chance to speak during a meeting, it can be very noisy, and some people may even get angry. On the other hand, if no one wants to say anything, the meeting will be very dull and awkward. How can we deal with this problem? In fact, at meetings there is a person called the chairman whose job is to keep the discussion in order. He helps to guide the discussion and makes decisions. Therefore, whether a meeting is a suess or a waste of time often depends on the chairman
