3.I was thirteen when my father got hurt.Looking back over the years,I sometimes wonder what I could have done differently that day.Spit twice over my shoulder when I saw the single magpie (喜鵲),maybe.But that's the thing about superstitions (迷信).You don't know how much power they have until you break them.
We lived in a dark shabby house in Bucks.Wood blocks laid over dirt on the floor.That part of England was full of cherry trees.Chalky soil.
The rice had caught in the bottom of the pot that morning at breakfast and all I could smell was burned rice.Even now when I think of that day I have the taste of burned rice in my mouth.
"I'm going to cut down the old cherry tree,"my father announced.
"You've been saying that for years,"said my mother lightly touching the end of her nose.Her nose ran all year long.Her arms rested on the table,a cup of tea placed between her hands,steam rising into the air."You'll never get round to it."
My stomach,balled into a tight little knot (結(jié)) relaxed itself.
"Millie's going to cry if you cut it down,"said my younger brother,Simon,his eyes bright as a fox."Silly Millie,silly Millie."
"Hold your noise,"said my father patting Simon on the head."And put back that butter.That's a week's ration (限額) you've got on your plate."
"The war's over,"said Simon in a low voice."We haven't had rationing for ages."Simon was right.Even sugar had come off points.However,we still occasionally received food parcels from distant cousins in Canada.
My father glared at him and then went on.
"Pigs.Burt says he'll come and help me take the tree down if he can have some of the wood."
"No,"I said springing to my feet."You can't do it.That's my tree.Always has been.Always will be.I won't let you."
Tom,took a piece of toast,watching my reaction.My older brother,he knew what the tree meant to me.
"Now then,Millie,"said my father softening his face."That tree's wild.It's in the way."

76.According to the passage,how many kids does the family have at least?D
A.6.  B.5.  C.4.   D.3.
77.The magpie is mentioned to show thatB.
A.Millie got much power on seeing the bird
B.things seemed to go wrong from the beginning
C.the bird caused Father's getting hurt that day
D.but for the bird Millie would have done differently
78.By saying"balled into a tight little knot",the author means that MillieA.
A.was afraid of her cherry tree being cut down
B.hated to hear her mother saying that way
C.had a terrible stomachache that morning
D.felt like crying on hearing her brother's words

B.Mother showed little interest in the cherry tree
C.the tree was finally cut down by father that day

80.When the author calls up the day,she feelsD.
A.painful       B.joyful        C.thankful         D.regretful.

11.She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But,at nearly 500 years of age,time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture,painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre Museum (盧浮宮博物館) where it is housed."The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago."the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (現(xiàn)在的)chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year,many attracted by the mystery of her smile."It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,"said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University."It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows."
However,the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him,until it was finally sold to France's King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World WarⅡ,F(xiàn)rench hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German soldiers.Like many old ladies,the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
59.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona LisaB.
A.is losing its value gradually    
B.has been destroyed completely
C.is being damaged after so many years 
D.is getting more valuable with years passing
60.Experts haven't done any repairs on the Mona Lisa becauseD.
A.it is now in a poor chemical state
B.they don't know how to replace the wooden panel
C.they don't have the materials Da Vinci used
D.they are afraid it'll be done further damage
61.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seenA.
A.by direct vision         
B.a(chǎn)t a distance   
C.by indirect vision        
D.in shadows
62.From the last paragraph,we can infer thatC.
A.many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.
B.people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.
C.some mysteries remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.
D.many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa.

8.Because Sue was away on holiday abroad,Mathew was very happy.Expecting all day to relax,he was thinking if he should read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months."It's a piece of cake,"he said to his wife."I'll take care of our children,and you can pay a visit to your mother."
    Things worked well at first,but just after 8 o'clock,his three little"nice children"-Tom,John,and Jack-came downstairs in their night clothes and cried out"Is breakfast ready,daddy."When food had not come to the table within 30 seconds,John started using his silver spoon on Jack's head as if it were a drum.Jack began to shout loudly in time exactly to the beat(節(jié)拍).Tom chanted"I cannot find my bread,where is it?"in the background.Mathew realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
    Life was getting worse and worse after their breakfast.Tom wore John's underwear on his head.John shut himself in the bathroom,and at that moment Jack cried out again because he was going to wet his trousers.None of the three could find clean socks,although all the socks were just before their very eyes.Someone named"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Mathew knew the talk show had already started.
    By 10 o'clock,things were much worse,and later even out of control.Jack was just wondering why the fish in the jar didn't eat his bread and butter.Tom was showing off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils.John,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Mathew realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
    At exactly 12:22,Mathew phoned the daycare centre."All of a sudden I must go into work and my wife not at home.Can I bring my children over in a few minutes?"The answer was obviously"yes"because Mathew was smiling.
56.The time his wife left home,Mathew expected toA.
A.enjoy his first day off work    
B.watch TV talk show with his children
C.go out for a walk in the park       
D.read the newspaper to his children
57.Which of the following did John do?D
A.Drew on the wall.B.Read in a room
C.Fed the fish.D.Ate apple jam.
58.Which of the following is"Not Me"(underlined in Para.3)?D
A.One of the family's neighbors              
B.The father  
C.The mother                              
D.One of the three kids   
59.For what reason did Mathew ask the daycare centre for help?C
A.Because of his wanting to clean up his house
B.Because he suddenly had to go to his office.
C.Because his finding it hard to manage his boys.
D.Because he had to take his wife back home.
60.This text is developedC.
