“All men are created equal” is one idea that nearly every American would agree upon. 36 they sometimes betray the idea in their daily lives, they have a deep faith 37 in some fundamental way no one is born superior to anyone else.
In the early years of American history, because titles of nobility(贵族) were forbidden, no 38 class system developed in the United States. Firmly believing that being born into a lower class would not 39 them from success and they would have a better chance in America, thousands of immigrants 40 to leave the European societies, where their 41 in life was determined 42 by the social class into which they were born. It was because the dreams of many of there immigrants were 43 in their new country, though there might be 44 in some situations, that Americans came to believe in equality of opportunity.
Americans do not mean that everyone should be 45 equal when they say they believe in equality of opportunity. 46 , they do mean that each person should have an equal chance for success. Abraham Lincoln once said, “We wish to 47 the humblest(最微贱的) man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. When one starts poor, free society is 48 that he knows he can 49 his condition.”
However, competition is the price to be 50 for his equality of opportunity. Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of others in a competitive contest for success, because they believe competition 51 the best in any person. Indeed, the pressure of competition causes an American to be 52 , but it also places a constant emotional stress on him. In fact, in a society that gives so much 53 to those “winners”, 54 does not compete successfully for whatever reason never 55 into it as well as those who do.

45．A．really B．totally C．actually D．truly 46．A．Besides B．Meanwhile C．Moreover D．Instead 47．A．allow B．encourage C．approve D．share 48．A．so B．the one C．such D．as 49．A．enjoy B．better C．maintain D．stand 50．A．paid B．asked C．cared D．sought 51．A．gives out B．comes out C．brings out D．stands out 52．A．exhausted B．energetic C．realistic D．effective 53．A．honor B．pressure C．happiness D．burden 54．A．anyone B．who C．one D．whoever 55．A．enters B．fits C．falls D．matches

As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly the young man could stand it no longer．Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food．
After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady．“ Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything．What is it that you are waiting for?”

When I got up, Mom was already awake. I could hear her doing something in the kitchen. It’s was my birthday, and I was afraid.
What if my husband had neglected(疏忽) to take Mom shopping for a card? Once Mom found it was my birthday, she would be sad that she had forgotten and had nothing to give me. She even can’t remember what we did two hours ago because of dementia(痴呆).
Birthdays ar e not a big deal to me. I hate growing older. I don’t mind if Mom forgets my birthday as long as she still remembers me. That someday she might not recognize me has been my biggest fear ever since Mom got dementia. I can’t imagine anything more devastating than being forgotten by my own mother.
When Mom was diagnosed with vascular dementia seven years ago, I was told she did not have Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病). I hoped that meant she would never forget her family. But as Mom’s dementia progressed, I realized that I had no idea whether vascular dementia could be as bad as Alzheimer’s. I really didn’t understand the difference.
The sleeping house was quiet except for the sound of Mom washing the bowls left last night in the kitchen. Will Mom live long enough to forget me? Will the day come when she no longer worries about remembering my birthday because she no longer knows that I exist?
In the kitchen, Mom heard me come near. She hurried to the door, face ringing with smiles. “Happy birthday to you,” she sang.
We laughed as I hugged her tightly, and both of us were very surprised that she had
remembered. Moments later she said, “Oh, there seems to be something here for you.”She brought me her card. My husband did, after all, take her shopping. The birthday-for-a-daughter card was filled with expressions of love in pink.

A．Helpless B．Optimistic C．Hopeful D．Discouraged 63．The passage mainly describes the importance of .
A．good physical health B．a happy family
C．birthday gifts D．a mother’s love

If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?", "Why am I always given the difficult problems?" Well this is the aftermath of our own karma(因果报应) of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable （数不清的）number of books in this world which will answer all your “How to?” questions. Once you read a book, you just don't run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes（诠释）it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is
stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before. Also this improves your speech-making skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to satisfy my thirst for satisfaction. So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? GO, grab a book, and let me know!
68．According to the writers opinion, which sentence is correct?
A．Our mind never feels hungry, because our mind is busy thinking.
B．Our stomach is quite the same with our mind because when they are hungry, we can know it.
C．Our mind is sometimes hungry, but we can’t realize it.
D．We know our mind is hungry because we can sense it.
69．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．It introduces the importance of reading.
B．It explains the reason why reading can satisfy hunger of the mind.
C．It introduces the correct way of reading.
D．It shows us creativity is very important.
70．What is the best title of the text?
A．Our mind is also hungry. B．The importance of thinking.
C．Feed your mind. D．Reading satisfies your mind. 71．According to the text, how does the writer improve English?
A．By practicing. B．By talking with others.
C．By reading more. D．By thinking freely.

South African surgeons have carried out the world’s first organ transplant(移植) from one HIV-positive person to another, in a groundbreaking operation that opens the way to saving thousands of lives. The South African government previously hadn’t allowed HIV-positive people to receive transplants or to donate organs-a policy criticized by some people in the medical establishment of a country where one in five adults is HIV-positive.
But the policy was ended last year, opening the way for more operations, and possibly giving HIV-positive patients a greater chance of receiving new kidneys(肾脏) than those not infected（感染）with the Aids virus, because there are more potential donors.（捐赠者）"HIV patients are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting an organ and dialysis（透析）. Even when we try to be fair, they are at a disadvantage competing with people with no chronic illness," she said. "This study opens up an opportunity to help them, even gives them a slight advantage, because of the high number of HIV-positive donors."
According to Miller, if the kidney transplants were successful in the long term it would open the way to the use of other organs such as livers, which are particularly vulnerable because anti –AIDS drugs can easily damage them.
However, the transplants remain controversial(有争议的) because they almost certainly mean that the recipient will become infected with the virus strain that infected the donor, which may be different from the one they carry and increase their resistance（抵抗）to anti-Aids drugs.
There are also concerns that HIV-positive organs could themselves have been damaged by the disease, making them less durable as transplants.
But news of the transplants has brought new hope to many. Dr June Fabian, a consultant nephrologist at Johannesburg hospital, said some of her HIV-positive patients stood to benefit from accepting HIV-positive organs.
72．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The disadvantaged HIV-positive patients in South Africa.
B．The world’s concern for patients with AIDS in South Africa.
C．The world’s first heart transplant in South African.
D．The world’s first kidney transplant is between HIV-positive patients.
73．From Paragraph 2 and 3 we learn that .
A．research on AIDS treatments is making progress in South Africa
B．HIV-positive patients are ignored in South Africa by the government
C．the status of HIV – positive patients in South Africa is better now
D．HIV – positive organ transplants are forbidden in South Africa
74．The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .
A．sensitive B．weak C．lasting D．narrow 75．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．There are an increasing number of HIV – positive patients in South Africa.
B．Organ transplants may increase the patients’ resistance to anti-AUDS drugs,
C．The successful organ transplant is helpful for the treatment of AIDS.
D．HIV-negative people will have a greater chance of receiving new kidneys in South Africa.

Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom,’ Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf(分歧). From clothing and hairstyles to activities and
expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friends.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving(演化的) roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change,but today’s pa rents, the 40-year-olds,were on the ‘after’ side,”explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent no w.”
