A
When I
was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs―two large ones with arm
rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the
table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except
when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad
always sat at the end, at the “head” of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad
was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees
and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at the table; it was a place
in which he was situated against the yard and trees. It was the holy (神圣的) and
protected place that was his, and ours through him. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
After
Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me
at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was
no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice
questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at
the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family,
but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting
in that “head” place in my Dad’s presence? And how would he handle it? I was to
find out on the occasion of our youngest child’s first birthday.
Mom
and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his
usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the
table, I took a deep breath and said, “Dad, this is going to be your place,
next to Mom, on the side.” He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt
sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to
say, “My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit.” But I didn’t.
When
he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don’t know how Dad
felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to
share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the
delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a
change, which we continue to live with.
It
wasn’t easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which
has occurred. I am beginning to learn that “honoring one’s father” is more than
the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening,
wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to
tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about
whose chair is whose.
56. Where did the writer’s mother sit when one of the
children was away?
A. She
didn’t change her chair.
B. She moved her own chair next Dad’s.
C. She
moved to an empty chair on the side. D. She sat opposite to Dad.
57. How did the writer feel when he told his father to sit
on the side?
A. He
didn’t feel bad because his father was going to sit there anyway.
B. He
felt happy at having carried out the difficult task.
C. He
was thoroughly satisfied with the new seating arrangement.
D. He
regretted what he had done and wanted to blame his wife.
58. What happened during the meal after the family had all
taken their new seats?
A. The
writer’s children removed their grandfather from his usual place.
B. The
writer’s father didn’t appear to mind where he sat.
C. The
writer’s father shared his favorite dishes with the grandchildren.
D.
They became tense and nervous about their future as a family.
59. What did the writer learn about “honoring one’s
father”?
A.
Fathers always long to tell stories about their early years.
B.
Providing the right chair is the only way to honor one’s father.
C.
Respect for one’s father doesn’t depend only on where he sits.
D. The
family should dine together at the same table as often as possible.

We
continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the United States.
Now we move on to college life once you are admitted to a school. The first
thing you need to value is a place to live. Housing policies differ from school
to school. Students might have to live in a dormitory, at least for the first
year there.
Dorms
come in all sizes. Some have suites. Six or more students may line in one
suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two
students in each room . Many students say dormitories provide the best chance
to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments
or other housing not owned by the school.
Most
colleges and universities offer singe-sex dorms, but usually males and females
live in the same building. They might live on the same floors and share the
same common bathrooms. They may live in the same room only if they are married.
Edward
Spencer is the associate vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech in
Blacksburg. He
says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will
live. He advises students to ask questions before they decide about their
housing. For example, if a student requires a special diet, will the school
provide it ?How much privacy can a student expect ? Will the school provide a
single room if a student requests one ? And what about any other special needs
that a student might have?
Virginia
Tech, for example, had a ban against candles in dorms . But it changed that
policy to let students light up candles for religious purposes. The university
also has several dorms open all year so foreign students have a place to stay
during vacation time.
60 .Why do some students in the U.S. choose to live in dorms,
according to the passage ?
A.
Dorms allow students in the U.S.
choose to live in dorms
B.
Dorms are safer for students to live in most cases.
C.
Dorms offer the chance to meet other people and are cheap as well.
D. In
most schools students are required to live in the dorms.
61. The second paragraph is mainly about ______.
A.
what suites in American schools are like
B.
what dorms in American schools are like
C.
what dorms are owned by schools
D.
when people get to know each other
62. We can infer from what Edward Spencer says that ______.
A.
colleges usually don’t provide a special diet
B.
housing rules differ from one building to another
C. a
ban against candles in dorms is necessary
D. the
U.S.
college always satisfies students’ requests
63 .What is the passage mainly about ?
A.
Places to live in U.S.
colleges
B.
housing polices in the U.S.
C.
Advantages of dormitories
D.
Rules of single-sex dorms

They
once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta
and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力車) can now
be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe
that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also
cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce
this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist
attractions and city parks.
“It
is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to
help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman
for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a
million people this year.
While
the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their
taxis’ green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist
attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin
people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
“It’s
better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman,
36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
“
This is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok
instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
In
Amsterdam,
driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow
rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my
passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another
passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although
increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are
considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
Nearly
500 bike-rickshaws are running in London
and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other
taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
64. Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
A. Delhi, Berlin, Paris. B.
Amsterdam, Bangkok,
Delhi.
C. Athens, London,
Berlin. D. Berlin, Amsterdam, London.
65. Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the
past?
A.
They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.
B.
They have been banned because they are too cruel.
C. The
streets of India
are too crowded for them to move through easily.
D.
Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.
66. What does the underlined sentence "This is
something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok
instead of Berlin"
suggest?
A. The
passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok
.
B. The
passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin
more than in Bangkok .
C. The
passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.
D. The
passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin .
67. What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?
A. He
gives no personal opinion.
B. He
believes they will be of no use.
C. He
thinks they will reduce pollution.
D. He
thinks they are old-fashioned.

Reading
poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people.In fact, many
people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is
worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America.In the
nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in
the evening and read poems aloud.It is true that there was no television at the
time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion.However,
poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other
people or to the world beyond one’s own community.Reading them
was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social
than individual.Writing poems to share with friends and
relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry
has a place in everyday life.
How
did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry,
and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and
that they can do well without poems?
There
are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者):poets, teachers, and we ourselves.Of these, the
least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us
more than we have betrayed the poem.Early in the twentieth century, poetry in
English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry.Readers
decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and
that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets
failed the reader, so did teachers.They want their students to know something about
the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean
something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their
high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword
puzzles.
68. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the
nineteenth century because
.
A. it
built a link among people B. it
helped unite a community
C. it
was a source of self-education D. it was a
source of pleasure
69. The underlined word “diversion”(in Para2) most probably
means “
”.
A. concentration B.
change C.
amusements D.
stories
70. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the
great gap between readers and poetry?
A.
Students are becoming less interested in poetry.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
B.
Students are poorly educated in high school.
C. TV
and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
D.
Poems have become difficult to understand.
71. In the last paragraph, the writer questions
.
A. the
difficulty in studying poems
B. the
way poems are taught in school
C.
students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D. the
techniques used in writing poem
E
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken.
After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first
legal area in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill
patients who wish to die. Almost immediately word spread on the internet and
was picked up, half a world away, by John
Hofsess, director of the Right to Die
Society of Canada.
He sent it on through the group’s on-line service, Death NET. “We posted statements all day long, because this isn’t
just something that happened in Australia.
It’s world history.” says Hofsess.
The newly-passed law has left doctors
as well as citizens trying to deal with its different meanings. Some have shown
satisfaction, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association,
bitterly fought against the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In
Australia ― where an aging population, life-extending (延長生命)
technology and changing society attitudes have all played their part ― other
states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安樂死). In the
US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers
are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can
require death ― probably by a deadly injection or pill ― to end suffering. The
patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a “cooling
off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of requirement.
After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin
citizen suffering from lung cancer, the new law means he can get on with living
without the fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing
condition. “I’m not afraid of dying, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go,
because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and tearing
at their masks (氧氣面罩),” he says.
72. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.
A. the
disagreement of euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B.
doctors and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
C. changing
technology is mainly responsible for pass of the law
D. it
takes time to realize the importance of the law’s passage
73. When the author says that observers are waiting for the
dominoes to start falling, he means __.
A.
observers are against euthanasia
B.
similar laws are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries
C.
observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
D. the
passed bill may finally come to a stop
74. When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will ________.
A.
choose euthanasia and die peacefully
B.
experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient
C.
have a strong fear of terrible suffering
D.
have a cooling off period of seven days
75. The author’s attitude towards euthanasia seems to be
that of ________.
A.
disagreement
B. doubt
C.
agreement
D. cold

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a student from Xinhua University. I’m glad to learn that
you want a few part-time English reporters. I’m quite interested in
it.
I think I’m fit for the job. As
a student, I’ve read a lot and have much knowledge in many fields. I’m fond of English and
do well in both speaking and writing. Besides,I’m easy to get along
with and enjoy working together
with others. Above all, I once worked as a reporter for my school broadcasting
station. So I’m sure I can do the job well if I can get the position.
I’m looking forward to an early reply
ifpossible. And I’d appreciate it very much if you could call me at
13936925255.
Thank you very much.
Yours
sincerely,
Li Hua
