The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 26 me.

This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked 27 or disobeyed. Mother always left a return note, but she never 28 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 29 and when we sisters 30 our childhood, she never mentioned them.

Telephone, television, radio, telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other. As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.

How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.

There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.

39. According to this passage, ________ is very important to people in a disaster area.

A. transportation B. modern technology

C. latest news D. a new idea

40. From the passage we learn that ________.

A. the world now seems smaller because of faster communication

B. the world is actually smaller today

C. the world is changing its size

D. the distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812

41. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried _____.

A. by telephone and telegraph B. by land C. by air D. by sea

42. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed ________.

A. by important people B. in 1812

C. in America D. in England

C

It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible（有責任的） for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.

If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.

My daughter Mary’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.

You can use the same technique when you evaluate（評價） your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and you should give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

43. The whole passage deals with ________.

A. social education B. school education

C. family education D. pre-school education

44. The author thinks that ________.

A. there is no way to get children to help at home

B. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will become

C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework

D. children can be forced to help with housework

45. The passage gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child’s work at home. That is to ________.

A. praise his success B. promise him a trip

C. give him a punishment D. promise him a ball game

46. The author advises readers to ________.

A. learn from himself, for he has a good way of teaching

B. take pride in Mary’s fifth-grade teacher

C. do as what Mary’s teacher did in educating children

D. follow Mary’s example because she never fails in the test

D

Queen Elizabeth II has invited 99 guests to Buckingham Palace last Wednesday, and she needn’t ask anyone’s age. All share the queen’s birth date-April 21, 1926. The queen has laid on a three-course meal for 70 women and 29 men.

“It has always been a standing joke in the family that I’ve never been invited to the queen’s birthday party. I never think it would actually come true,” said Betty Kay of Doncaster in northern England, one of the invited guests.

Prospective banquet guests were nominated(提名) by themselves or relatives, and each guest represents a part of the country. Edna Richards of Wolverhampton said she was a firm supporter of the monarchy(君主立憲制), and admired the queen for keeping a busy schedule. “I think she is a surprising person. I don’t know how she does it all. Being the same age I know how she must feel,” Richards said.

Among the excitement surrounding the birthday celebrations, the queen’s cousin, Margaret Rhodes, said that she is “perfectly sure” the queen will never abdicate(退位) the throne(王位). “It’s not like a normal job; it’s a job for life,” she said.

Buckingham Palace said Rhodes’ remarks reflected the longtime position of the queen and there was no change in her decision to give up retirement. “These are the questions that are asked around these big events,” said a Buckingham palace spokeswoman. “There is no question of the queen abdicating. She will carry on as normal.”

47. 99 guests were chosen to the queen’s birthday party because ________.

A. there were only 99 persons in the country who shared the queen’s birth date

B. they represented all parts of the country

C. the number 99 was a lucky number

D. it implied the queen would live forever

48. Which of the following can best be used to describe the queen?

A. Busy and energetic. B. Old and retired.

C. Charming and generous. D. Learned and wise.

49. Which of the following is often asked on the occasion related to the queen?

A. How old on earth is the queen?

B. Will the queen retire from the queen position?

C. Will the queen invite guests to the palace to celebrate her birthday?

D. Is the queen really fit for her position?

50. Which title can best summarize the main idea of the passage?

A. All over the country celebrated the queen’s birthday

B. 99 persons in England have their birthday on the same day as the queen

C. Lucky enough to have the birthday on April 2

D. Queen turned 80, and so did her guests

E

Such chronic(慢性的) diseases as heart disease, stroke, cancer and lung disorders are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.

The World Health Organization (WHO) points out chronic diseases lead to about 17 million early deaths each year. The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations.

Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones. The WHO estimates(估計) that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than 500,000 million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.

According to a WHO report on the problem, deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries. Infectious and parasitic(寄生的) diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific-they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.

As many as 80% of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented, health officials say. An important tool for governments is to limit the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.

The UN aims to reduce chronic-disease deaths by 2% each year by international action through 2015, that’s to say, 36 million lives could be saved, including 25 million in Asia and the Pacific.

51. According to the passage, chronic diseases ________.

A. can be avoided B. can be kept from happening

C. will disappear C. are all deadly

52. In many countries, what’s mainly responsible for increasing deaths from chronic diseases?

A. The economic development. B. The poor living conditions.

C. Infectious and parasitic diseases. D. Young people’s bad habits.

53. This passage seems to stress that ________.

A. chronic diseases only happen in developing countries

B. developing countries suffer chronic diseases most

C. young people are addicted to alcohol and tobacco

D. no good measures can be found to prevent chronic diseases

54. Which of the following statesments is NOT true?

A. Most deaths are caused by chronic diseases in the world.

B. The middle-aged are becoming victims of chronic diseases in Asia.

C. Infectious and parasitic diseases are no longer death killers.

D. To reduce chronic-disease deaths needs worldwide efforts.

55. The best title for the passage would be “________”.

A. Different Measures to Fight Chronic Diseases

B. The WHO’s Report on Heath in Developing Countries

C. The UN: the Leader of International Community

D. Chronic Diseases: the World’s Leading Killer

A Traffic Accident

Last Sunday, an old lady aged about seventy was badly hurt in a traffic accident at the second crossing of Xinhua Road. It was 9:30 p.m., and there were many cars in the street at that time. The old lady was crossing the street when a young man riding a bicycle rushed up and knocked her down. The accident happened so suddenly that it had been some time before the other people in the street understood what was happening. The old lady was badly hurt and couldn’t move at all. Someone called the First Aid Center and soon some doctors came in their ambulance and rushed the lady to the hospital. The police said that it was the young man’s fault, for he didn’tsee the red light turning on.
