If he wanted to buy a bottle of orange, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, David would say, “Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.” Sometimes the shopkeepers agree d to reduce their price a little. “What is ten cents?” they asked themselves. “If it makes this man happy, it won’t hurt me much.” In this way David saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.One day he had a very bad toothache and had to see the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, “This tooth will have to come out. It is too serious to save.” “How much must I pay you to take out a tooth?” he asked. “Forty dollars.” the dentist said. “How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?” he asked. “About two minutes.” The dentist answered. “Forty dollars for two minutes’ work?” David shouted. “That is robbery.” The dentist smiled. “You are right,” she said. “Thank you for telling me.

Yet not all the people know Boxing Day.Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated on December 26th, or the first weekday after Christmas. And it is a festival only for those service persons such as postmen, newspaper boys, milkmen, etc. On that day, families traditionally give Christmas boxes to those service workers. It is a custom, but nobody is certain how it began.A popular legend tells the story. There was once a rich lady called Chatter in Britain. One morning many, many years ago, it snowed very heavily. Chatter was waiting anxiously for a very important letter from her boyfriend. Then a post boy came and gave her the letter. She was so pleased that she gave him a box with presents. Later on, more and more people followed her example. As time went by, giving boxes with presents to service persons became a custom in Great Britain. Later the custom spread（传播）to the British Commonwealth （共和政体）and America. In the United States, some people give their employees（雇员）money instead of boxes now.( ) 60.

But only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it radiates power of about 5,000,000 horsepower per square mile per day. The sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind uses in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power.Coal（煤）represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor when water changes into gas under the sunshine. Even windmills（风车磨坊）operate because of air current（流）starts moving by the different heating effects of the sun in different places.Some day, through chemistry or some types of solar engine, we should use this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly doing well, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on water to create steam.( ) 65. What do the underline words “a minute” mean in this passage?A. 一分钟B. 一点点C. 片刻D. 一份笔记( ) 66. How much energy does the sun radiate every ten square miles per day?A. About 5,000,000 horsepowerB.

This passage is mainly about ___________. A. water power B. our final source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be used(E)Whenever I was passing a city square in America on a fine day, I would see old men and women sitting alone on benches with their dogs lying at their feet. Those old people just looked into the sky, saying nothing and doing nothing. Their dogs were the only friends they could have at the time.Pets are not fed with left meals of their owners. They have their special food. Groceries（杂货店）usually have a department of pet food. There are stores which only sell food and other things for pets. When one’s dog or cat is ill or injured, he can take it to a vet, who is a doctor treating pets. Food and medical treatment for pets are quite expensive. A n operation on a dog’s leg, for example, may cost 300 dollars. So every year Americans spend a lot of money on pets.When I asked a lady why she kept two cats and loved them so much, she answered, “Oh, they are very helpful to me. In the morning, they will make noise or pull my blanket to wake me up. And they help to form my character. If I behave in a wrong way to a friend, I can apologize（道歉）to him or her afterwards. But I can’t apologize to my cats. If I am angry at them, they will stay away from me for a long time, and that will make me sad. I should always be kind to them. I might become uncaring without the cats around me.”This was the only explanation I got about the value（价值）of pets.( ) 70. Why do old people have pets? Because ________.A. they like animalsB. they think the animals are poorC. they feel lonelyD. they don’t have anything to do( ) 71. What do the pets eat according to the passage?A. Special pet food.B. Left food.C. Bones.D. Bread.( ) 72. The underline sentence “they help to form my character” means ________.A. pets can help people learnB. pets can make people happyC. pets can make people make many friendsD. pets can help people be kinder and care about others( ) 73. According to the passage, the following statements are true except _________.A. Pets cost is high in the US every yearB. People think pets are really usefulC. Pets can wake people upD. People can apologize to their pets( ) 74. From the passage we can infer（推断）that _________.A. the writer doesn’t like animalsB. pets are important in old people’s life in the USC. pets are good at waking people upD. the value of the pets is that they are worth a lot of money第Ⅱ卷语言应用一、根据首字母提示补全短文。
