One Sunday night, a teenager, Rory Campbell heard noises next door to his home in Bonita Mews, off St. Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat. He then saw the man covered in black soot(黑灰),tying himself to the window, shouting for help.
The 15-year-old boy called the fire brigade( 队) and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his 30s, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘help me, help me, get a ladder, get a ladder’. He was a bit wild. I didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the fire brigade was on his way.”
Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Fire crews from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving. He was taken to a south London hospital where he is still recovering from smoke inhalation.(吸入)
There was 25 percent fire damage done to the flat.
Rory, studying music, added, “ As the man walked past me, he said ‘thanks’ and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good that I helped save his life.”
Another neighbor added, “ I heard a lot of noise but thought it was the railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The boy next door really did save his life by calling the fire brigade.”
56. According to the passage, what might caused the fire?

D. Carelessly cooking.
57. Before the fire brigade arrived, what did Rory do?

D. Holding a ladder.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that____.

Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.ebay.co.uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you .The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away form your credit card(信用卡).
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday.
The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
60. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to make payment online.
B. Ways of making delivery online.
C. Advantages of an online auction system.
D. How to use an online-auction system.
61. After bidding for an item, a buyer________________.
A. will get what he wants in ten days
B. should make payment immediately
C. has chances to make higher bids
D. must pay through PayPal
62.The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is___________.
A. through an online payment system
B. through a local banking system
C. by sending the money to the seller
D. by paying the deliveryman directly
63. Which of the following is Not right according to the passage?
A. An eBay deal is popular with people.
B. You can see pictures, accounts and prices for most items ready for auction online.
C. Everything you want to buy can be sent by post.
D. Online auctions usually last up to 10 days.

In the United States, there are growing calls to do more to help young people learn skills in financial education. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet, not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about saving, investing (投资)and using money.
The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in 2003. This government group takes charge of financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies. Information on financial education can be found at its Web site. The address is MyMoney.gov. It includes links to agencies that deal with banking, buying a home, investing and other areas.
The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in 1998. As of three years ago, half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen, from twenty-five to twenty-two. The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.
Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their parents. Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab, for example, has a Web site to help parents teach their kids about money and investing. The address is SchwabMoneyWise.com.
One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs. Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost three-fourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.
64. If you want to get some financial information you can visit ________.
A. SchwabMoneWise.com
B. ncee.net
C. The National Council
D. MyMoney.gov
65. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that________.
A. all states asked students to learn economics
B. the number of the states has greatly reduced
C. students are required to take financial lessons
D. textbooks on economics sell well in America
66. Who is most likely to teach children about money?
A. The school teachers.
B. The parents.
C. The government.
D. The companies.
67. The children would like to have a summer job in order to________.
A. join in Junior Achievement
B. receive more social experience
C. take part in more activities
D. learn more financial knowledge

One Saturday afternoon years ago I was working in the parsonage(牧师住宅) yard. It was cold and windy. I welcomed it. Christmas was approaching. I noticed an unusual amount of traffic on our county road. All of it was southbound.
“Lois, much traffic is going south today, have you noticed that?”
“It must be Christmas in the Country.” she said.
“What’s that?”
“A lady turns her whole house into a Christmas open house for the weekend. Every room in the house and the whole barn are filled with beautiful handcrafted(手工的)items. She serves wassail(酒宴) and cookies and plays Christmas music. I hear it’s quite an event.”
“Why don’t you take me?” she asked.
“Sure.”
We all got in the car to check it out. The Christmas in the Country open house was on a country road back a bit of lane. When arriving, we saw a field turned into a parking lot full of cars. We had to wait in line to get in. Everyone was in a festive
mood, laughing and joking. They were all dressed warmly and wearing Christmas things. It was so delightful that we went back year after year and always looked forward to it. The next year Lois sold her own crafts in the show and did very well for a number of years in a row there. It was early in the Christmas season and a good way to get in a Christmas mood.
People will travel a long way for good things. If you can brighten their life they will usually find you wherever you are. If you will help people in the hard struggle of life you will not be alone. That was true in the beautiful countryside of Knox County Ohio and I believe it’s true in downtown Flint, Michigan and wherever you live, too.
68. The underline word “southbound” in the first paragraph means______.
A. moving forward the south
B. in the south

C. To earn a lot of money for them.
D. To look after their own crafts there.
71. Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. A gentleman turned his house into a Christmas open house.
B. A field turned into a place where people could enjoy and buy beautiful crafts.
C. People usually went there in cars.

B. To offer readers a life lesson.
C. To ask readers to attend Christmas in the Country.
D. To show the author’s interest in Christmas.

Read and answer the following questions.
The United States is one of the biggest countries in the world. It has all sorts of geography, from deserts to beaches, mountains to flatlands. These conditions help create all sorts of weather: mild, moderate and extreme. Sometimes all in one day!
In the summer, some areas get very hot and the air is very wet. But others have
dry air, so the heat does not feel so bad.
In the winter, parts of the country get cold and snowy while others stay warm and sunny. This is the difference between, for example, New York City on the East Coast and Los Angeles on the West Coast. Yet even the East Coast has its warm places in winter, like Florida.
The oceans affect weather along the coasts. The Pacific coast has smaller temperature changes and calmer conditions than along the Atlantic.
Alaska and Hawaii are the only states not connected to the forty-eight mainland states. Alaska is in the Arctic area, so it gets very cold. Hawaii, out in the Pacific, is warm all year long.
Weather in the central and northeastern parts of the country is affected by cold air from Canada and warm air from the Caribbean. Conditions can change quickly.
Hurricanes are ocean storms that strike mainly in the Southeast. The hurricane season is, officially, June through November. Tornadoes are a risk across the country. These are locally severe windstorms. They generally happen in spring and summer.
In fact, March eighteenth happens to be the eightieth anniversary of the most deadly tornado in United States history. The nineteen twenty-five “Tri-State Tornado” hit parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The National Weather Service says the horrible twister killed nearly seven hundred people.
73.Why does America have all sorts of weather? (回答词数不超过8个)

One Sunday night, a teenager, Rory Campbell heard noises next door to his home in Bonita Mews, off St. Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat. He then saw the man covered in black soot(黑灰),tying himself to the window, shouting for help.
The 15-year-old boy called the fire brigade( 队) and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his 30s, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘help me, help me, get a ladder, get a ladder’. He was a bit wild. I didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the fire brigade was on his way.”
Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Fire crews from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving. He was taken to a south London hospital where he is still recovering from smoke inhalation.(吸入)
There was 25 percent fire damage done to the flat.
Rory, studying music, added, “ As the man walked past me, he said ‘thanks’ and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good that I helped save his life.”

Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.ebay.co.uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you .The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away form your credit card(信用卡).
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday.
The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.

In the United States, there are growing calls to do more to help young people learn skills in financial education. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet, not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about saving, investing (投资)and using money.
The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in 2003. This government group takes charge of financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies. Information on financial education can be found at its Web site. The address is MyMoney.gov. It includes links to agencies that deal with banking, buying a home, investing and other areas.
The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in 1998. As of three years ago, half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen, from twenty-five to twenty-two. The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.
Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their parents. Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab, for example, has a Web site to help parents teach their kids about money and investing. The address is SchwabMoneyWise.com.
One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs. Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost three-fourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.
64. If you want to get some financial information you can visit ________.
A. SchwabMoneWise.com
B. ncee.net
C. The National Council
D. MyMoney.gov
65. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that________.

One Saturday afternoon years ago I was working in the parsonage(牧师住宅) yard. It was cold and windy. I welcomed it. Christmas was approaching. I noticed an unusual amount of traffic on our county road. All of it was southbound.
“Lois, much traffic is going south today, have you noticed that?”
“It must be Christmas in the Country.” she said.
“What’s that?”
“A lady turns her whole house into a Christmas open house for the weekend. Every room in the house and the whole barn are filled with beautiful handcrafted(手工的)items. She serves wassail(酒宴) and cookies and plays Christmas music. I hear it’s quite an event.”
“Why don’t you take me?” she asked.
“Sure.”
We all got in the car to check it out. The Christmas in the Country open house was on a country road back a bit of lane. When arriving, we saw a field turned into a parking lot full of cars. We had to wait in line to get in. Everyone was in a festive
mood, laughing and joking. They were all dressed warmly and wearing Christmas things. It was so delightful that we went back year after year and always looked forward to it. The next year Lois sold her own crafts in the show and did very well for a number of years in a row there. It was early in the Christmas season and a good way to get in a Christmas mood.
People will travel a long way for good things. If you can brighten their life they will usually find you wherever you are. If you will help people in the hard struggle of life you will not be alone. That was true in the beautiful countryside of Knox County Ohio and I believe it’s true in downtown Flint, Michigan and wherever you live, too.

Read and answer the following questions.
The United States is one of the biggest countries in the world. It has all sorts of geography, from deserts to beaches, mountains to flatlands. These conditions help create all sorts of weather: mild, moderate and extreme. Sometimes all in one day!
In the summer, some areas get very hot and the air is very wet. But others have
dry air, so the heat does not feel so bad.
In the winter, parts of the country get cold and snowy while others stay warm and sunny. This is the difference between, for example, New York City on the East Coast and Los Angeles on the West Coast. Yet even the East Coast has its warm places in winter, like Florida.
The oceans affect weather along the coasts. The Pacific coast has smaller temperature changes and calmer conditions than along the Atlantic.
Alaska and Hawaii are the only states not connected to the forty-eight mainland states. Alaska is in the Arctic area, so it gets very cold. Hawaii, out in the Pacific, is warm all year long.
Weather in the central and northeastern parts of the country is affected by cold air from Canada and warm air from the Caribbean. Conditions can change quickly.
Hurricanes are ocean storms that strike mainly in the Southeast. The hurricane season is, officially, June through November. Tornadoes are a risk across the country. These are locally severe windstorms. They generally happen in spring and summer.
In fact, March eighteenth happens to be the eightieth anniversary of the most deadly tornado in United States history. The nineteen twenty-five “Tri-State Tornado” hit parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The National Weather Service says the horrible twister killed nearly seven hundred people.
