During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the

time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.

This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic (经济的) position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married their school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage (婚姻), with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

61. We are told that in a family about 1900________.

A. few children died before they were five

B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five

C. the youngest child would be fifteen

A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves

B. does not like children herself

C. needn't worry about food for her children

D. can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty

63. Many girls are now likely to_______.

A. give up their jobs for good after they are married

B. leave school as soon as they can

C. marry so that they can get a job

D. continue working until they are going to have a baby

64. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to _______.

A. stay at home after leaving school

B. marry men younger than themselves

C. start working again in life

D. marry while still at school

65. Now a husband probably_________.

Most schools forbid chewing gum（口香糖）, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores.

This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.

Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. That’s because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can.

That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath.

Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They’ve created a gum that could help us stay awake.

Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes.

The gum is easy to transport and it’s stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill,

it doesn’t require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use.

For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military. The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.

66. The passage mainly talks about _____.

A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in school

B. new research on chewing gum

C. different kinds of chewing gum

D. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine

67. What does the underlined word “hits” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Touches.

B. Attacks.

C. Takes effect.

D. Affects badly.

68. According to the passage, Stay Alert is a gum which can help people _____.

A. stay awake

B. fight colds

C. cure headaches

D. overcome nervousness

69. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. Stay Alert is not easy to store

B. Stay Alert needs water to swallow

C. Stay Alert is available to the public now

D. we can’t buy gums that cure bad breath now

70. The gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines into the bloodstream, because _____.

A. the lining of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly

B. the gum doesn’t require water to swallow

C. the gum is easy to transport

D. the gum is stable in cold and hot climates

Part Four Writing :（45分）

Section A :Write no more than three words for each answer

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and

wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（仿效）.It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact（联系）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

Section B Answer the question according to the information given in the

passage:

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met

and many decisions to be made: your future begins here.

However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the “ know-know,” I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experience of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find of use about life on campus;

Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there .Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely. If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer or a computer data book),Get one .Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important ? What pieces of paper need to be handed in ? What can/can’t you do in your student residence（住处）? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

Write the word STUDY on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom ,and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this----- you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do .Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.

81.What does the underlined word know-know refer to ?(no more than 12 words)

82.What is the main purpose of the passage? (no more than 7 words)

83.Why is it exciting to begin college life according to the passage? (no more than 11 words)

84.They should know what they have fought for on campus.

One day, a mother and son were taking a walk when they saw a little girl fall over. The boy wanted to help her up but his mother stopped him and said, "Don't do that, otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down." A few days later, when she got home, the mother was shocked at seeing her son just let the fallen oil bottle lie on the ground. She asked him why he didn't put it in place, but the boy talked back, "If I had straightened the bottle up, you would have thought that I did it."

I disagree with what the mother did in the story. I think parents should not only care for their children's health, but their minds. They should let their children know it's a pleasure to help others who are in trouble.
