(
I feel 46 for every valuable minute of my time that it takes.
My working day starts with "clocking-in"(打卡上班). In a job such as mine this is one of the most reasonable parts of the day. For those who don't know what it is: a 47 is pressed and, in blue figures, a time you begin your work is 48 on one's card. You just dare to be late: then you will find that your time has been stamped in RED print. It's so mechanical(机械的) that one 49 the time to be always
After thought. Nothing is 50 from work itself- it is nothing to offer. What's important is not to do a job well, but to finish it 51 .The trouble is, one never finishes it. Either one job is followed by another which is equally 52 or the job goes on and on forever. You never feel you have done something meaningful.
Time is what the factory worker sells: not labour, not skill, but time. From Monday morning on, the rest of the working week is spent 53 Friday night. Everybody seems to be washing his life away. And away it goes sold to the man who owns the factory.

Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分读与写)
IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing to complain about the TV advertisement for your product Cheese in a Tube. In my opinion, there is some false information in it, and it also encourages children to have bad eating habits.
In the advertisement, there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is "the best cheese in the world". This is, of course, not true. However, I have two young children who love the cartoon character in the advertisement. Now they hope to eat the cheese every day.
They believe that your cheese is the best in the world and they don't want any other kind.
The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is "good for young kids". Well, I checked the information on the packet. There certainly isn't very much cheese in your product - only 5% - and it has more fat and calories(热量) than chocolate! It's probably one of the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket. Child obesity is a huge problem in our country. Our children are the fattest in the world, and products like yours just make things worse.
Finally, the advertisement ends with two beautiful, slim, healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV. Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a vegetable salad. The children say they're watching their favourite cartoon - the same character who is in the advertisement, of course - so what does the mother do? She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tube! The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children enjoy the cheese in front of the TV! I believe that it's good for children and parents to eat together, but obviously (明显地) your company doesn't.
Please change this terrible advertisement. And why don't you start making healthier foods too?
Yours sincerely,
Maddy Moore
69. "Cheese in a Tube" is a ______.
A) TV advertisement B) bad eating habit
C) product of a company D) cartoon character
70. Maddy's two children believe the cheese is the best in the world because ______.
A) they eat the cheese every day B) they believe what the cartoon tells them
C) the cheese is very popular D) the cartoon character is very popular
71. Maddy checked the information on the packet of Cheese in a Tube in order to ______.
A) prove it has more fat and calories than chocolate
B) find out how much cheese there is in the product
C) be sure Cheese in a Tube is good for young kids
D) decide which cheese to buy in the supermarket
72. The underlined word "obesity" in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A) product B) program C) advertisement D) fatness
73. In Paragraph 4, Maddy wants to tell us ______.
A) the ending of the advertisement is too long
B) parents and children should have the same meal
C) children should have good eating behaviors
D) family members should enjoy a meal together
74. Maddy writes the letter to ______.
A) ask the company to stop showing the advertisement
B) complain about the bad quality of Cheese in a Tube
C) discuss the importance of good eating habits and manners
D) describe a terrible experience of having Cheese in a Tube
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)（12
分）
Have you ever seen the Man in the Moon? If you 75 the Moon closely on some nights, you can see the face of the Man in the Moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying sticks. Others say that they can see a girl reading a book. Long long ago, the Romans and Greeks thought that the stars and planets they could see were gods living in the sky. They gave these stars and planets the names of their gods and goddesses and the Moon was 76 as Diana, who was also goddess of the hunts (狩猎女神) .
People used to think that the moon was made of green cheese because of the 77 of the Moon's surface and the small dark areas on it. People also thought that the dark areas formed a kind of face which they called the Man in the Moon. We now know that there are mountains, plains and holes on the Moon's surface.
The word "lunatic" comes from the Latin word "luna" meaning "moon". People used to believe that anybody who was mad had been affected in some way by the Moon. 78 people were supposed to be more mad at the time of the full moon.
Werewolves (狼人) are said to be affected by the Moon. In some areas people still think that some people change into wolves at the time of the full moon. But in fact, like vampires (吸血鬼), werewolves 79 exist in horror films and books! And we can see them nowhere.
There are many superstitions (迷信的) connected with the Moon. It is said to be not 80 to look at a new moon through glass, but the full moon is the time to make wishes or choose a husband.
75. A) measure B) protect C) observe D) describe
76. A) used B) written C) acted D) known
77. A) colours B) sizes C) shapes D) names
78. A) Calm B) Crazy C) Close D) Cute
79. A) only B) ever C) seldom D) even
80. A) precious B) funny C) lucky D) regular

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
I've got an important job to do. I'm really nervous about it. It's a big responsibility. I'm in Grandad's garden, sitting outside his pigeon loft (鸽房). I'm waiting for Goldie to come home.
Goldie's proper name is Goldeneye. She's Grandad's champion (冠军) racing pigeon. She's famous as she's won lots of cups. This morning she had a race - flew two, hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she's racing back home.
"Come on, Goldie. Come on Goldie!" That's me, calling Goldeneye back home. But I can't see her yet.
I really want Goldie to win this race. I want to give Grandad the good news when I see him tonight in hospital. My eyes search the blue sky. Still no sign of Goldie.
"Calm down, Danny!" I tell myself. That's what Grandad would have said: "Calm down, Danny!"
But it's hard to be calm. This job is very important. I'll tell you why.
Before a race they put a rubber ring on every pigeon's leg. When Goldie comes back, I've got to catch her, as soon as she lands. I've got to take her ring off, as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube. I've got to put that tube in Grandad's special timing clock. That records the time that Goldie finished the race.
But I'll have to move like lightning. I can't waste a second. I've got to get that ring into that clock as quickly as I can!
So that's why I'm nervous, waiting for Goldie. I'm getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie should be here by now. But the sky is blue and empty.
"Calm down, son," I tell myself. "Goldie always comes back." But where is she? What am I going to tell Grandad?
I wait until it's nearly dark. I give up! Then I lock the other pigeons in the loft. I've got to see Grandad tonight at the hospital. What am I going to tell him?
88. Where is Danny waiting for Goldie?
He is waiting _____________________________________________________________.
89. What race did Goldie have that morning?
________________________________________________________________________
90. What good news does Danny want to tell Grandad?
________________________________________________________________________
91. Why does Danny think his job is very important?
________________________________________________________________________
92. When does Danny give up waiting for Goldie to come home?
________________________________________________________________________
93. What do you think Danny is going to tell Grandad? Why?

Hi, I'm Wendy. I'd like to introduce my Aunt Emily. Of all my relatives, I like Emily the best. She's my mother's youngest sister. She is still single and she lives alone in a small village near Bath. She's in her late fifties, but she's still quite young. She has thick brown hair and dark brown eyes. She has a kind face, and when you meet her, the first thing you notice is her lovely, warm smile. Her face is a little fat, but I think she is still rather attractive. She is friendly and helpful. I have to say she is the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem.
I love her because whenever Aunt Emily comes for a stay with us for a few days, the dull lives were suddenly changed into happy time.
While she stays alone, she likes reading novels and gardening, and she goes for long walks over the hills with her dog. She's a very active person. Either she's making something, or mending something, or doing something to help others. She does the shopping for some of the old people in the village. She's extremely generous. But she is easy to be angry if you don't agree with her. I hope that I am as happy as she is when I'm her age.
