Emily, another motherthat I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of 21 .“Do you know 22 you a nd I are?” she asked. 23 I could answer, shegave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman 24 desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated, 25 ho w to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) 26 .” “We don’t 27 ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.I forgot all about her story 28 one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What 29 me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ...a (an) 30 in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen 31 in mid-air. She looked up 32 she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your33 ?” Coolly, I heard myself 34 , “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have 35 credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the 36 are in satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of 37 in the clerk’s voice as she 38 in the form.

My mom has been “green” since she became concerned abo ut the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard.With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.41. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?A. Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.C. To show how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother’s Day.42. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the gardenD. Picking dandelions on busy streets.43. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as wellB. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yardC. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the author’s mo ther used to lecture her to protect the environment.44. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Tomatoes are the author’s favourite fruit.B. It is her mother who taught the author to plant tomatoes.C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.45. The writer’s attitude towards her mom’s behavior changed in the order of ______.A. understanding — negative— supportingB. supporting — doubtful —negativeC. negative — understanding — supportingD. doubtful— negative—supportingBBelow is an entry taken from an English dictionary．46. “Be careful not to scratch the furniture”most probably means “Be careful notto ”．A. remove any marksB. damage its surfaceC. make any noisesD. change its position47. The word "scratch" in "It took us some time to scratch the paint from the wall.”has the same meaning asin“”．A．We scratched some of the dirt away.B．The car's paintwork is badly scratchedC．The dog kept scratching at the door to go outD．She scratched at the insect bites on her arm.48. “She had scratched because of a knee injury”might imply that “Shecouldn't ．A．take part in a race B．cancel a prepared activityC．make a living D．make enough money49. When the French girl says “I learned German from scratch for six months”, shemeans she ．A．had previously well prepared B．was unsatisfied with her German C．knew no German before that D．found few materials availableCMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human lifegrowing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine．The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"．With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertili--ty treatment and given hope to millions of couples．It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: "His achievemen--ts have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969．Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five —the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally．Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955．He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child. Noth--ing is more special than a child.”With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment．But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the CatholicChurch who said it was "unethical and immoral"．Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive（生殖的） sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue". He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted —this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"．50．What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby．B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life．D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies．51．What does the underlined word “afflicting”（Paragraph 4）most probably refer to?A. Troubling.B. Developing.C. Improving.D. Confusing. 52．Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life．B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then．C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family．D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples．53．It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________．A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awardedB. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ findingC. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthroughD. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral54. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Life Stories of Robert EdwardsB. Preparations for Having a BabyC. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert EdwardsD. Treatment of Infertility in a LabDAndy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin!That’s right. Andy and Amy (that’s me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn characters. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal (提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.Boys would wear white or blue button-down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white. The teachers are divided:Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed. The headmaster has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before making their decisions. She will have the final word on the dress principle.I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor.I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer-labeled clothes.Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like —well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies (嬉皮士) they were!“Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform!“If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!” he declared.To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear. I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”That really made him angry. Then he said, “You’re just mimicking (模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying!”“That is so not true. I’m saying exactly what I think,” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”“You have always been stupid, and you know it!” he shouted.“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid. And that’s the stupidest thing of all!” I said.Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you vote — for or against?55. Amy and Andy quarrel because .A. they share a cupboardB. Amy likes to show offC. they both have the word for dress principleD. they always take the opposite views on issues56. The story is about .A. a conflict of opinions between boys and girlsB. a historical event and is told in the third personC. a personal experience and is told in the first personD. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students57. Amy’s opinion on school uniforms are most likely based on .A. logical conclusions drawn from her own personal experienceB. an emotional reaction to what she has been told by people in authorityC. her preference for designer-labeled clothesD. not liking anything her brother likes58. Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s opinions?A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.C. How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.59. Which of these statements from the story is a form of an emotional appeal?A. The teachers are divided: some are in favor of uniforms; others are opposed.B. You are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants.C. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.D. The hot topic in school was all about the PTA’s proposal to adopt a schooldress principle.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. A School Dress PrincipleB. My Stubborn Twin BrotherC. Endless Fights with My BrotherD. For or Against? —That Is the Question第二节：下面文章中有5处（第81–85题）需要添加小标题。

Emily hesitated, 25 ho w to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) 26 .” “We don’t 27 ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.I forgot all about her story 28 one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What 29 me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ...a (an) 30 in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen 31 in mid-air. She looked up 32 she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your33 ?” Coolly, I heard myself 34 , “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have 35 credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the 36 are in satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of 37 in the clerk’s voice as she 38 in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was 39 by my lab assistants —ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.I felt successful. Motherhood...what a great 40 .21.

My mom has been “green” since s he became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to sav e glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard.With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.41. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?A. Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.C. To show how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother’s Day.42. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the gardenD. Picking dandelions on busy streets.43. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as wellB. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yardC. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.44. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Tomatoes are the author’s favourite fruit.B. It is her mother who taught the author to plant tomatoes.C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.45. The writer’s attitude towards her mom’s behavior changed in the order of ______.A. understanding — negative— supportingB. supporting — doubtful —negativeC. negative — understanding — supportingD. doubtful— negative—supportingBBelow is an entry taken from an English dictionary．46. “Be careful not to scratch the furniture”most probably means “Be careful notto ”．A. remove any marksB. damage its surfaceC. make any noisesD. change its position47. The word "scratch" in "It took us some time to scratch the paint from the wall.”has the same meaning asin“”．A．We scratched some of the dirt away.B．The car's paintwork is badly scratchedC．The dog kept scratching at the door to go outD．She scratched at the insect bites on her arm.48. “She had scratched because of a knee injury”might imply that “Shecouldn't ．A．take part in a race B．cancel a prepared activityC．make a living D．make enough money49. When the French girl says “I learned German from scratch for six months”, shemeans she ．A．had previously well prepared B．was unsatisfied with her German C．knew no German before that D．found few materials availableCMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human lifegrowing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine．The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"．With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertili--ty treatment and given hope to millions of couples．It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: "His achievemen--ts have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969．Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five —the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally．Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955．He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child. Noth--ing is more special than a child.”With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment．But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the CatholicChurch who said it was "unethical and immoral"．Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive（生殖的） sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue". He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted —this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"．50．What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby．B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life．D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies．51．What does the underlined word “afflicting”（Paragraph 4）most probably refer to?A. Troubling.B. Developing.C. Improving.D. Confusing. 52．Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life．B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then．C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family．D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples．53．It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________．A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awardedB. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ findingC. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthroughD. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral54. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Life Stories of Robert EdwardsB. Preparations for Having a BabyC. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert EdwardsD. Treatment of Infertility in a LabDAndy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin!That’s right. Andy and Amy (that’s me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn characters. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal (提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.Boys would wear white or blue button-down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white. The teachers are divided:Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed. The headmaster has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before making their decisions. She will have the final word on the dress principle.I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor.I also wouldn’t mind not having to see gu ys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer-labeled clothes.Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like —well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies (嬉皮士) they were!“Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform!“If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!” he declared.To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear. I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”That really made him angry. Then he said, “You’re just mimicking (模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying!”“That is so not true. I’m saying exactly what I think,” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”“You have always been stupid, and you know it!” he shouted.“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid. And that’s the stupidest thing of all!” I said.Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you vote — for or against?55. Amy and Andy quarrel because .A. they share a cupboardB. Amy likes to show offC. they both have the word for dress principleD. they always take the opposite views on issues56. The story is about .A. a conflict of opinions between boys and girlsB. a historical event and is told in the third personC. a personal experience and is told in the first personD. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students57. Amy’s opinion on school uniforms are most likely based on .A. logical conclusions drawn from her own personal experienceB. an emotional reaction to what she has been told by people in authorityC. her preference for designer-labeled clothesD. not liking anything her brother likes58. Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s opinions?A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.C. How one dresses should be an expression o f one’s individuality.D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.59. Which of these statements from the story is a form of an emotional appeal?A. The teachers are divided: some are in favor of uniforms; others are opposed.B. You are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants.C. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.D. The hot topic in school was all about the PTA’s proposal to adopt a schooldress principle.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. A School Dress PrincipleB. My Stubborn Twin BrotherC. Endless Fights with My BrotherD. For or Against? —That Is the Question第二节：下面文章中有5处（第81–85题）需要添加小标题。

She will have the final word on the dress principle.I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on thefloor. I also wouldn’t mind not having to see gu ys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer-labeled clothes.Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies (嬉皮士) they were!“Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform!“If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!” he declared.To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear. I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”That really made him angry. Then he said, “You’re just mimicking (模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying!”“That is so not true. I’m saying exactly what I think,” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”“You have always been stupid, and you know it!” he shouted.“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid. And that’s the stupidest thing of all!” I said.Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you vote — for or against?55. Amy and Andy quarrel because .A. they share a cupboardB. Amy likes to show offC. they both have the word for dress principleD. they always take the opposite views on issues56. The story is about .A. a conflict of opinions between boys and girlsB. a historical event and is told in the third personC. a personal experience and is told in the first personD. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students57. Amy’s opinion on school uniforms are most likely based on .A. logical conclusions drawn from her own personal experienceB. an emotional reaction to what she has been told by people in authorityC. her preference for designer-labeled clothesD. not liking anything her brother likes58. Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s opinions?A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.C. How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.59. Which of these statements from the story is a form of an emotional appeal?A. The teachers are divided: some are in favor of uniforms; others are opposed.B. You are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants.C. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.D. The hot topic in school was all about the PTA’s proposal to adopt a school dress principle.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. A School Dress PrincipleB. My Stubborn Twin BrotherC. Endless Fights with My BrotherD. For or Against? — That Is the Question第二节：下面文章中有5处（第81–85题）需要添加小标题。

Every day they are very 26 trying to make money in order to 27 the expensive education for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt*. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said with a smile. “What?” she replied, still doing her work. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a 28 voice. With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. “Susan,” she said 29 , “Look at this thread*. Sometimes it 30 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and warm. If life is a 31 , then love should be a thread. It can 32 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 33 .” I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next 34 .At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to 35 with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, every day my mother helped my father walk slowly on the 36 road. My father had always been so gentle. In the countryside, the trees turned green and the flowers started to come out. The sun shone brightly through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t 37 me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like 38 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply. 39 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 40 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm. （▲）26. A. busy B. strict C. interested D. worth （▲）27.
