(A)
The dodo was a large bird that you might not think was a bird at all, for the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. The bird was discovered by a European sailor in 1507 on Mauritius Island.
When the sailor talked about the strange bird that could not fly, you can imagine(想象) people found it hard to believe the story. The Europeans who settled on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodoes were killed and by 1681 no living dodoes were found on the island. A few dodoes were brought to England in the 17th century, but for 200 years none have been seen alive. This is the reason for the phrase “as dead as a dodo”. Because they died out completely, the dodoes became well-known.
56. The writer tells us that the dodo______.
A. existed between 1507 and 1681 B. has existed since 1507
C. doesn’t exist now D. may have existed
57. What was so unusual about dodoes as birds?
A. They looked like birds but couldn’t fly
B. They lived longer than other birds.
C. They were very good to eat.
D. They were all killed.
58. Dodoes are no longer seen on Mauritius Island because they______ .
A. were killed by pigs
B. were all taken to England
C. have been driven away by the settlers
D. have all been killed for food
59. The phrase “as dead as a dodo” is sometimes used to describe something that______ .
A. cannot protect itself from being eaten
B. is sure to die
C. can not fly or move fast
D. no longer exists
60. People find______story hard to believe.
A. the Europeans’ B. the dodoes’
C. the settlers’ D. the sailors’
(B)
With the development of new computer technology(科技), more and more things have been changed. But some people don’t think new computer technology is good for their lives. They don’t want it to make their lives worse. For example, before television was invented, a family usually sat around the table to talk. They shared stories about what happened to them during the day, or talked about some news from the newspaper.
Now we spend less time talking with our friends or family members, but more time in front of the TV or computer. Some people say technology has stopped family from bonding(密切) like before.
Whatever we think about computers, one thing is clear: technology changes the way we live. Technology that sounded like science fiction ten years ago has become true now.
No one knows just how far this technology will go. Some people believe that computers will one day help us with all our housework and that computers may even help us buy something we need. Let’s just hope in the future we still cook dinner in our house, and not with our computers. Some things are fine the way they are now.
61. “Science fiction” means “______” in Chinese.
A. 科技书籍 B. 科幻小说
C. 科学常识 D. 科普文章
62. In the writer’s opinion,______ .
A. our life will become better if we use new computer technology
B. computers will change our life
C. something should be good if we keep them in the way they are now
D. computers can help us know more about the world
63. Some people think new computer technology is good for their lives, because______ .
A. they can’t understand new computer technology
B. the new computer technology will cost them much money
C. they have less time to talk with friends and family now
D. they think new computer technology will bring them a happy future
64. Why do some people think new computer technology make their lives worse?
A. Because they cannot enjoy the family pleasure as before.
B. Because they have less time to talk with their friends.
C. Because the family is not as bonding as before.
D. All of the above.
65. Which should be the best title for this passage?
A. Computer in the Future B. Things to Think About
C. New Computer Technology D. Our Life in the Future
(C)
Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their father, a present from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TVs tell children what they should do——buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present——not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
66. Father’s Day was started just because______ .
A. there was a Mother’s Day
B. there was a Children’s Day
C. businesses wanted to get a lot of money
D. people liked their fathers very much
67. The underlined word “special” in the second paragraph means “______”.
A. great B. nice C. useful D. not usual
68. In America, people have a Father’s Day to______ .
A. buy some presents for their fathers
B. help their fathers do something
C. let their fathers have a good rest
D. show their love for their fathers
69. On Father’s Day, businesses always want______ .
A. people to buy many things from their shops as presents
B. children to buy presents only for their fathers
C. women to buy presents only for their husbands
D. only the men with children to have presents
70. It can be learned from the passage that______ .
A. the writer is against Father’s Day
B. many countries have a Father’s Day
C. businesses can get more money on Father’s Day
D. Father’s Day will become more important than Mother’s Day

Once a Frenchman lived in England. He didn’t know English very well. One day he went to a post office with a letter in his hand. He bought a stamp and gave it, together with the letter, to the girl at the desk.
“Oh, no,” the girl said. “You must stick the stamp on yourself.”
He was very surprised. He didn’t believe his ears.
“Why must I stick the stamp on myself?” he asked.
“Oh,” said the girl, “I mean you must stick the stamp on the letter. You must do it yourself.”

The dodo was a large bird that you might not think was a bird at all, for the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. The bird was discovered by a European sailor in 1507 on Mauritius Island.
When the sailor talked about the strange bird that could not fly, you can imagine(想象) people found it hard to believe the story. The Europeans who settled on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodoes were killed and by 1681 no living dodoes were found on the island. A few dodoes were brought to England in the 17th century, but for 200 years none have been seen alive. This is the reason for the phrase “as dead as a dodo”. Because they died out completely, the dodoes became well-known.
56. The writer tells us that the dodo______.
A. existed between 1507 and 1681 B. has existed since 1507
C. doesn’t exist now D. may have existed
57. What was so unusual about dodoes as birds?
A. They looked like birds but couldn’t fly
B. They lived longer than other birds.
C. They were very good to eat.
D. They were all killed.
58. Dodoes are no longer seen on Mauritius Island because they______ .
A. were killed by pigs
B. were all taken to England
C. have been driven away by the settlers

59. The phrase “as dead as a dodo” is sometimes used to describe something that______ .
A. cannot protect itself from being eaten
B. is sure to die
C. can not fly or move fast
D. no longer exists
60. People find______story hard to believe.
A. the Europeans’ B. the dodoes’
C. the settlers’ D. the sailors’

With the development of new computer technology(科技), more and more things have been changed. But some people don’t think new computer technology is good for their lives. They don’t want it to make their lives worse. For example, before television was invented, a family usually sat around the table to talk. They shared stories about what happened to them during the day, or talked about some news from the newspaper.
Now we spend less time talking with our friends or family members, but more time in front of the TV or computer. Some people say technology has stopped family from bonding(密切) like before.
Whatever we think about computers, one thing is clear: technology changes the way we live. Technology that sounded like science fiction ten years ago has become true now.
No one knows just how far this technology will go. Some people believe that computers will one day help us with all our housework and that computers may even help us buy something we need. Let’s just hope in the future we still cook dinner in our house, and not with our computers. Some things are fine the way they are now.
61. “Science fiction” means “______” in Chinese.
A. 科技书籍 B. 科幻小说
C. 科学常识 D. 科普文章
62. In the writer’s opinion,______ .
A. our life will become better if we use new computer technology

B. the new computer technology will cost them much money
C. they have less time to talk with friends and family now
D. they think new computer technology will bring them a happy future
64. Why do some people think new computer technology make their lives worse?
A. Because they cannot enjoy the family pleasure as before.
B. Because they have less time to talk with their friends.
C. Because the family is not as bonding as before.
D. All of the above.
65. Which should be the best title for this passage?
A. Computer in the Future B. Things to Think About
C. New Computer Technology D. Our Life in the Future
(C)
Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their father, a present from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TVs tell children what they should do——buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present——not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
66. Father’s Day was started just because______ .
A. there was a Mother’s Day
B. there was a Children’s Day
C. businesses wanted to get a lot of money

A. great B. nice C. useful D. not usual
68. In America, people have a Father’s Day to______ .
A. buy some presents for their fathers
B. help their fathers do something
C. let their fathers have a good rest
D. show their love for their fathers

A. people to buy many things from their shops as presents
B. children to buy presents only for their fathers
C. women to buy presents only for their husbands
D. only the men with children to have presents
70. It can be learned from the passage that______ .

B) It was Sunday yesterday. I took a bus to town. When the bus came to a stop, a woman and a little boy, who I thought was her son, got on the bus. Seeing that there was only one seat left, the boy asked his mother to sit there and he sat on her knees. After a while the bus came to the next stop and a young woman got on, with a baby in her arms. Seeing this the boy at once got down from his mother’s knees and, together with his mother, kindly offered the seat to the young woman. While the young woman with her baby sat there, the boy stood beside his mother with a smile on his face.
