Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The p laces are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
56. People with little education usually ________.
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs D. have fewer chances to get a good job
57. The earliest education was probably to _______.
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
58. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the pass age means“________”in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
59. It is expected that educated people will be able to ________.
A. accept education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
60. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
C
Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children often get hurt or die because they are not careful. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lower traffic accidents?First，(64)all of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers，they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast，it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians (行人)，first，they must be careful when they are walking on the road. When we walk across the road，we must try to walk underpasses (地下通道) or footbridges (步行桥). We must walk the crosswalk. (65)We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first，next look right，then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear can we cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quic kly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road，they may fall down. Second，try to help children，old people or the blind people to cross the road. Third，never play in the street.

二、笔试部分
Ⅰ. 21. B in front of“在……前面”，指在某物外部的前面。
22. A nobody “没有人”;everybody “每个人”;somebody “某个人”;anybody “任何人”。由答语后句句意“我自己打扫的”可推知没有人帮助她，故选 A。
23. C be full of=be filled with“充满，装满”。
24. D A项意为“尺寸，尺码”;B项意为“设计”;C项意为“价格”;D项意为“颜色”。由答语句意“当然!你穿红色总是看起来很漂亮。”可知问句句意应为“你认为这条裙子的颜色适合我吗?” 故选D。
25. A get on“上车”。
26. B 由本题题干及句意“大部分学生喜欢那些很理解他们的老师。”可知本题含有定语从句，引导定语从句时which修饰表示物的先行词;who修饰表示人的先行词;where修饰表示地点的先行词;when修饰表示时间的先行词。空格前的teachers是表示人的名词，用who来修饰，故选B。
27. D look out of “向……外看”。句意：不要向窗外看，危险!
28. A even if引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”。句意：即使我一夜不睡，也要帮助你。
29. B as usual“像往常一样”;at first“最初;起初”;after all “毕竟”;so far “到目前为止”。由But now it’s widely used in every field.(但是它现在被广泛应用于每一个领域)中的now(现在)及表示转折关系的but推知前句句意：“最初网络只被政府使用”。故选B。
30. B 本题考查一般过去时态。由句中的时间状语“last month(上一个月)”可知应用一般过去时态。故选B。
31. D a few修饰可数名词复数，表示肯定意味。
32. A the number of表示“……的数目”，后面的谓语动词用单数形式。a number of表示“许多”，修饰可数名词。
33. A 问句中介词短语in red(穿红色衣服)作定语修饰woman，由此可知此处是特指，前面应加定冠词the，排除B、D两项;虽然university的第一个字母是元音字母，但其读音以辅音音素开头，故其前用不定冠词a。故选A。
34. B 句意为“六月是一年中的第六个月”。
35. B visitor的所有格是visitor’s;后句用名词性物主代词mine作主语，代指my car。
Ⅱ. 36. A conversation意为“交谈，谈话”;report意为“报告”;survey意为“调查”;speech意为“演讲”。由文章第三段第三句中的this phone call changed his life(这次通话改变了他的人生)可知，此处应 选A项，表示“但最近和他妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生”。
37. D so意为“所以”;but意为“但是”;therefore意为“所以”;however意为“然而”，用于句首时，与句子其他部分要用逗号隔开。由前句句意“他过去不常给他妈妈添麻烦”和空格后面的叙述，特别是第二段第二句Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems.可知，此处应表转折关系。再由空格后的逗号可知，应选D项。
38. C 空格后的more difficult是形容词的比较级，而选项A和D用于修饰形容词或副词原级;选项B是形容词，修饰名词复数;much可修饰比较级，表示程度，故选C。
39. B 由上文His mother couldn’t afford to pay for her child’s education.(他的妈妈不能支付她孩子的教育费用。)可知，此处句意应为“为了做到这一点，她不得不工作，所以经常不在家”。have to意为“不得不”，表示由客观原因决定必须做某事，故选B。
40. C look after意为“照看，照顾”，是动词短语，应用副词修饰，故排除D项。而A、B两项意思不符合语境。well是副词，意为“好，好地”，符合语境要求。句意：他的妈妈尽可能好地照顾他。
41. D 由上句句意“不幸的是，马丁仍然闯了不少的祸”和后半句句意“他经常麻烦缠身”可知，此处句意应为“他对学习不感兴趣”。短语be interested in doing sth.意为“对做某事感兴趣”，故选D。
42. B worried意为“担心的”;patient意为“有耐心的”;careful意为“仔细的”;serious意为“严肃的”。由马丁四处闯祸可知，此处句意应为“幸运的是，他的妈妈非常有耐心，而且她从未放弃过尽力帮助他”，故选B。

44. D argue with意为“与……争吵”;say 不与with搭配;discuss的搭配为discuss sth. with sb.;talk with意为“与……谈话”。由后面的with可知，B、C两项首先排除;而A项在此不符合语境，故应选D项。句意：老师说马丁有必要跟他妈妈谈一下。
45. C to one?s surprise是固定搭配，意为“令某人惊讶的是”，此处surprise用作名词，意为“惊讶，惊奇”。
46. B 分析该句结构可知，空格处在此引导一个表语从句，且在从句中作needed的宾语，what有此双重功能，故选B。
47. D see意为“看见”，强调看见的结果;notice意为“注意”，指注意到某事或某物，强调动作;help意为“帮助”;watch意为“注视”，强调状态。分析上下文可知，此处表示“……爸爸虽然不再与我们在一起了，但他一直在注视着我……”，强调的是一种持续的状态，故选D。
48. A since意为“自从”;before意为“在……之前”;after意为“在……之后”;when意为“当……的时候”。由后面my father died, I have been afraid of being alone...可知，此处符合“since+一般过去时态的从句，主句用完成时态”这一句型特点，所以选A。
49. C always意为“总是，一直”;hardly意为“几乎不”;really意为“确实”;just意为“仅仅”。由下文的He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class.(他一直努力学习，并且现在是班上最好的学生之一。)可知马丁发生了很大的变化， 故正确答案为C，表示“现在马丁确实变了”。

Dear Tina,
Thank you for your letter.
I know that you want to visit China. That’s a good idea. As you know, Beijing is the capital of China. It has a long history, and there are many places of interest, such as the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. Summer and Autumn are the best time to come to Beijing. You can go surfing in Dalian or Qingdao in summer. The waves there are terrific. I’m sure you will have a good time in China. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming

Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot,wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water,and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
56. The diaries above show the writer’s _________ days in Thailand.
A. 3 B. 7 C. 15 D. 30
57. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.

58. Which of the following is TRUE?

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
59. People with little education usually ________.
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs D. have fewer chances to get a good job
60. The earliest education was probably to _______.
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
61. It is expected that educated people will be able to ________.
A. accept education as a way of living B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and math
62. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
C
My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed，and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage，they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children，but now not anymore. Everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore;everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day，even in winter. But now we don’t. And in school，the children don’t have to think anymore. In math class，for example，we used to add，subtract(减)，multiply(乘) and divide(除)in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads anymore;instead，they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past，we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now less and less people eat home-cooked food anymore.
And people don’t talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk ，too busy to eat，too busy to think...
Life used to be simple，but it isn’t anymore.
63. What does the writer’s grandfather think of the life now?
A. He thinks the life is the same as it used to be.
B. He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
C. He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.
D. He thinks the life now is very good.

A regular dish on the menu was fried (油炸的) potatoes, which was an idea that had started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were cut into thick slices(片).
One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he did not like them so thick. So Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. That made Crum angry, so he thought he would just show the man. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them, thinking that the man would say nothing about it. However, to his surprise, the man loved the thin potatoes very much. Other guests tried them and liked them. So, Crum’s potato chips were added to the menu. They were called Saratoga Chips.

Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to t urn salt water into fresh water.
On some places, the sun is not hot enough or it does not shine every day. In such places, people begin to get fresh water from the sea water by heating it. This way costs more money, but it works faster than the sun.
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. People are trying other ways.
One way is to make the sea water cold less than zero. The fresh water will turn into ice first. Take the ice out. That’s the fresh water you want.
Which way is the best? The one that gives most water with the least money. It may be a different way for each place.

I know that you want to visit China. That’s a good idea. As you know,Beijing is the capital of China. It has a long history,and there are many places of interest,such as the Great Wall,the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. Summer and Autumn are the best time to come to Beijing.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
51. People with little education usually .
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
52. The earliest education was probably to .
A. make a man lead a better life
B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living
D. teach people to read good books
53. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
54. It is expected that educated people will be able to .
A. accept education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
55. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
B
Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!
Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause and effect, could you tell?
56. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect?
A. Someone puts on a heavy jacket.
B. Someone works in the penguin pen.
C. Someone will go outside into cold weather.
D. Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.
57. Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible cause?
A. He bullied another student.
B. He is going shopping.
C. He is being picked up early.
D. He is being given a prize.
58. What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?
A. He was going outside.
B. He was reading a story.
C. He was sleepwalking.
D. He was looking for his dad.
59. Which of the following is cause and effect?
A. Tony got up and had a glass of water.
B. We came home and found him sleeping.
C. The ball was lost and a window was broken.
D. Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.
60. What is the best title for the text?
A. Truth and lies B. Work and sleep
C. Cause and effect D. Life and dreams

(2015•山东烟台)The story took place in a small town in winter. One day a man met an old lady standing by an expensive car. It was clear that her car broke down. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. “Is he going to hurt me?” The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car to get warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” It took Bryan about fifty minutes to fix the car. The lady felt quite thankful and she asked how much she should pay him.
But Bryan wanted no money. ①对他来说，帮助别人很正常。He said, “If you want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, just give out your friendly hand.”
After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road till she reached a small café. She stopped for something to eat. As the pretty waitress stood next to her, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕). ②Although she looked tired, she still served the customers with a smile on her face. As the old lady was going to pay the $10 bill, she remembered Bryan’s words.
The old lady paid one hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change, the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. Her eyes were filled with tears when she read it, “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others. ” Under the note were nine more $100 bills.
Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell the story.“Bryan…Bryan Anderson my dear…you’re not going to believe what has happened… ”

11～15 BCCAB
16. basketball 17. July 18. ten/10 19. week 20. gym
21. A 由“不要紧”可知“没有人可以让任何人都满意”。故选A。
22. B try to do sth. 意为“努力做某事”，是固定用法，故先排除C、D两项;由“但他们失败了”及“他们打了一架”可知“他们努力不生气”，故B项正确。
23. D be busy doing sth. 是固定用法，意为“忙于做某事”，故排除A、C两项;B项后少了介词for，故正确答案是D。句意为“我们都在忙着为即将到来的英语考试做准备”。
24. A 形容词修饰不定代词时，形容词要后置;肯定句中用something，否定句和疑问句中用anything，故选A。
25. C 本题考查“祈使句+or+陈述句”结构。or意为“否则，要不然”。故选C。
26. B be home to...是固定用法，意为“是……的家园”。
27. C until“直到……为止”;unless“除非”;though“尽管”;because“因为”。四个选项只有though放在句中才能使句意完整，符合结构要求。句意为“我喜欢乘火车旅行，尽管它不如乘飞机快”。故选C。
28. A according to“根据，依据”;look forward to“期望”;lead to“导致”;thanks to“多亏”。 根据句子前后的内容可知according to能使句意完整。句意为“根据这篇短文，那是一个激动人心的故事”。故选A。
29. B 表示“百分之……”要用“数词+percent”，percent没有复数形式。故选B。
30. C a number of…“许多……;大量……”，作主语时谓语动词用复数;the number of…“……的数量”，作主语时谓语动词用单数。故C项正确。
31. C 动词不定式短语作目的状语。
32.B 句意:为了使孩子远离危险，我们建议父母不要把孩子单独留在家里。advise sb. to do sth. “建议某人做某事”， advise sb. not to do sth. “建议某人不做某事”，均为固定搭配。结合句意应选B。
33. B offer to do sth. 意为“主动提出做某事”。
34. C try to do sth. 是固定用法。
35. B 在主动语态中，make后跟动词原形;在被动语态中，make后的动词原形前要加上to。故选B。
36. A conversation“交谈，谈话”;report“报告”;survey“调查”;speech“演讲”。由第三段中的this phone call changed his life(这次通话改变了他的人生)可知，此处应选A，表示“但最近和他妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生”。
37. D so“所以”;but“但是”;therefore“所以”;however“然而”，用于句首时，与句子的其他部分要用逗号隔开。由“他过去不常给他妈妈添麻烦”和空格后面的叙述，特别是第二段的Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems. 可知，此处应表示转折关系，再由空格后的逗号可知应选D项。
38. C 空格后的more difficult是形容词的比较级，而选项A和D用于修饰形容词或副词原级;选项B是形容词，修饰名词复数;much可修饰比较级，表示程度，故选C。
39. B 由His mother couldn’t afford to pay for her child’s education. 可知，为了做到这一点，她不得不工作，所以经常不在家。
40. C look after“照顾，照料”，是动词短语，应用副词修饰，故排除D项;A、B两项意思不符合语境。well是副词，意为“好，好地”，符合语境“他的妈妈尽可能好地照顾他”。
41. D 由“不幸的是，马丁仍然闯了不少的祸”和“他经常麻烦缠身”可知，他对学习不感兴趣。be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”，故选D。
42. B worried“担心的”;patient“有耐心的”;careful“仔细的”;serious“严肃的”。由“她没有放弃尽力帮助他”可知：他的妈妈非常有耐心。故选B。
43. A make a decision是固定搭配，意为“做出决定”，故选A。
44. D argue with“与……争吵”;say不与with搭配;discuss的搭配为discuss sth. with sb. ; talk with“与……谈话”。由后面的with可知，B、C两项首先排除，而A项在此不符合语境，故应选D项。此处句意：老师说马丁有必要跟他妈妈谈一下。
45. C to one’s surprise 是固定搭配，意为“令某人吃惊的是”，此处surprise用作名词，意为“惊讶，惊奇”。
46. B 分析该句结构可知，空格处在此引导一个表语从句，且在从句中作needed的宾语，what有此双重功能，故选B。which可以引导表语从句，但意为“哪一个”，表示有范围的选择;that可以引导表语从句，但在从句中不作任何成分;how也可以引导表语从句，但只能在从句中作状语。
47. D see“看见”，强调看见的结果;notice“注意”，指注意到某事或某物，强调动作;help“帮助”;watch“注视”，强调状态。分析上下文可知，爸爸虽然不再与我们在一起了，但他一直在注视着我，强调的是一种持续的状态，故选D。
48. A since“自……以来”;before“在……之前”;after“在……之后”;when“当……的时候”。由my father died, I have been afraid of being alone…可知，此处符合“since+一般过去时态的从句，主句用完成时态”这一句型特点，故选A。
49. C always“总是，一直”;hardly“几乎不”;really“确实”;just“仅仅”。由下文的He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. 可知，马丁确实发生了变化，故选C。
50. B advice“建议”;love“爱”;idea“主意”;decision“决定”。通读全文可知，是妈妈的爱使他改变了，故选B。
51. D 根据文章第一段第二句话“In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. (换句话说，他们有更多的机会来选择一份好工作，然而接受过较少教育或没接受过教育的人却不行。)”可知选D。
52. C 根据文章第二段第一、二句话“Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. (有些人也许认为一个人应该把他一生中最好的岁月用来获取教育，只是为了一种生存的方式。这可能是最早的教育的原因之一。)”可推知此题选C。
53. D 该单词所在的句子是第三段的主题句，而该单词是该主题句的关键词。由本段的内容可知，教育的目的是从各个方面提高人的素质，由此可推知该单词的意思是“全面的”，故选D。
54. B 根据文章第三段的最后一句话“Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world. ”可知，受教育的人被认为能够听好音乐、读好书、观看戏曲，而最重要的是对世界感兴趣，故选B。其他选项都片面。
55. A 根据文章第三段的第一句话“Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. ”可知，教育是全面的，它主要是为了提高人的整体素质。故选A。
56. A 由第二段中For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. (例如，你可以看到有人穿上厚的夹克。这是结果。)可知，“有人穿上厚的夹克”是结果。
57. B 由第三段中What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize! 可知，A项“他欺负别的学生”;C项“他被提前接走”;D项“他获了奖”，这三项都可能是Abi去校长室的原因。只有B项“他去购物”在文中没有提及，不可能是原因。故选B。
58. C 由最后一段中Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug...Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. 可知，当Cait要睡觉时，她的弟弟在梦游。
59. D 本题为推理判断题。根据文章所述，D项中，Tim再次迟到是原因，他老师生气是结果。而其他三项都没有因果关系。
60. C A项“事实和谎言”;B项“工作与睡眠”;C项“原因和结果”;D项“生活和梦想”。通读全文可知，本文以实例的形式阐述了原因和结果的辩证关系。故选C。
61.No, she didn’t. Because she thought the man would/was going to hurt her. 由第一段中的Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. “Is he going to hurt me?”可知，这位老妇人起初并不信任Bryan,因为她认为Bryan会伤害她。
62.It was very normal for him to help others. 用It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.表达“对某人来说做某事是……的”。
63.虽然她看上去很疲倦，但是她还是微笑着为顾客服务。 although引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管，虽然”;look tired 意为“看起来很疲惫”;serve the customers意为“为顾客服务”;with a smile on her face意为“她面带微笑”。
64. a(small)note，nine (more) 100-dollar bills(under the note) 由第五段内容可知，当女服务员带着找回的零钱返回时，她发现在桌子上有一张小纸条和九张100美元的钞票。
65.Love/Kindness needs to be passed on./We should give out friendly hands to others. 通过这个故事我们明白了“爱需要不断传递下去/我们应该向别人伸出友爱之手”。
66～70 EBDAG
One possible version:
With the development of science and technology, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. To communicate with other people around the world well, it’s important to know about different cultures. Here are some different opinions of learning different cultures.
Jack is from America; he thinks the best way to learn different cultures is to read books written by authors from a particular culture. Maybe you can learn the food, music, language and the way of life of other groups of people. Lisa, an English girl, thinks the way to learn about different cultures is to learn a foreign language. John is an Italian student; his opinion is to watch television shows or movies made in that part of the world. I am from China. I think travelling around the world and experiencing the amazing cultures and traditions is a good way. In this way, you can see and feel other cultures yourself.
