(A)
It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged without thinking, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you admit clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is admitted and regret expressed.
I remember a doctor friend telling me about a man who came to him with a sign; headaches, insomnia(失眠) and stomach trouble, no physical cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.”
After some hesitation, the man confessed that he had been cheating his brother who lived abroad of the money their father left him in the will. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you. I think I’m cured.” And he was.
A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, do something about it right now.
56. When we have done something wrong, we should ____.
A. look honest and think over the fault carefully
B. escape from being disturbed
C. admit the fault and express the regret
D. forgive ourselves
57. What will happen if we have done something wrong?
A. Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.
B. We shall lose a friend.
C. We shall apologize at once.
D. Our moral balance will be disturbed.
58. What was the cause of the patient’s disease?
A. Headaches.
B. Stomach trouble.
C. Disturbance of conscience.
D. Some unknown physical weakness.
59. What had the patient done to his brother?
A. He had sent his brother abroad.
B. He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance.
C. He had given just a little share of the inheritance to his brother.
D. He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing.
60. The patient was cured by ____.
A. writing a letter B. crossing the check
C. mailing a letter D. asking his brother to forgive him
(B)
One Saturday night, while we were sitting around our somewhat worn living room with some old friends, one of them started trying to remember how long we’d lived there.
“Since 1952” I said. “We paid off the mortgage eight years ago.”
“What
did you pay for it?”
”We paid $29,500 in 1952.”
My friend nodded knowingly and thought a minute.
“I’ll bet,” he said, “that you could get $85,000 for it today.”
I don’t know why it is such a popular topic of conversation these days, but if any real-estate dealers (房地产商) are reading this, I will give them some money-saving advice: don’t waste any stamps on me with your offers to buy.
Our house is not an investment. Our house is our home. We live there. It is the place we go when we don’t feel like going any place. We do not plan to move.
Our house provides me with a simple pleasure every time I come home to it. There’s been much talk of moving, usually brought on by a leaky faucet(漏的水龙头) or a neighbor we don’t like. But when anyone asks me how much I think our house is worth. I just smile. They couldn’t buy what that house means to me all the money in both local banks. The house is not for sale.
61. According to the passage, we can learn that the house is a ____.
A. careful investment
B. adventurous investment
C. money-lending investment
D. money-making investment
62. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

Test your Nutrition IQ (营养智商)
All of us eat every day, but most of us don’t understand nutrition. How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statement true or false?
1. People who don’t eat meat can stay healthy.
True. As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternates(替代物), they can get enough protein(蛋白质).
2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables.
False. The differences depends more on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a great amount of vitamins.
3. Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals.
True. Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can contribute to a good diet.
4. Food grown in poor soil is lower in vitamins than food grown in rich soil.
False. The vitamins in our foods are made by the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil. However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.
If you have answered the above questions correctly, you can say you know much about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a growing science and that it may be changed as new information obtained.
65. The main purpose of the passage is ____.
A. to list today’s standards of food and nutrition

Vienna---In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministries decided Tuesday in Vienna.
The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president, Charkid Khelil of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota (配额) increases were not necessary.
The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minster Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of the Iraq stop to exports was not known, so other exporters were not going to life quotas yet. If the market was destabilized (动摇的), a suitable response could be made.
Iraq on Monday stop shipments of crude oil to protest against the UN Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food program by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal (延期).
Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
OPEC wants the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that reduced 2.5 million barrels per day off quotas.
68. Iraq made the decision to stop oil deliveries because _____.
A. oil price is too low in the international market
B. the UN Security Council has decided to shorten the time for the oil-for-food program
C. many oil wells were destroyed during the war in the late 1980s
D. it couldn’t get enough money to develop its economy
69. The attitude the EU Commission took towards Iraq’s output stop is _____.
A. active B. surprising C. cold D. concerned
70. The words “the organization” in the fourth paragraph refers to _____.
A. OPEC B. the EU Commission
C. APEC D. WTO
71. The main idea of the passage is _____.
A. the oil prices in the world were stable though Iraq has stopped oil deliveries
B. OPEC has stopped the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars
C. OPEC will not increase oil production to make up the shortfall caused by Iraq
D. Oil is connected with people’s daily life
(E)
One of the most striking sights in the entire United States is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. Each year thousands of people visit northern Arizona to see it. Actually the Grand Canyon is really a huge deep valley which was cut by the Colorado River. The valley itself is 217 miles long, and it is more than one mile deep. It changes in width from four to eighteen miles. The area around the Canyon averages between 5,000 and 10,000 feet in height. The north border of the Canyon is 1,000 feet higher than the south border. So the north border has much colder temperatures than the south border does.
As for the amount of rainfall in the Grand Canyon, the north border has an average yearly rainfall of about twenty-six inches while the south border has only about sixteen inches. On the floor of the Canyon, there is less than ten inches of rainfall in a year.
The Canyon walls cut by the Colorado River hold a long record of geologic change. You can see many plant and animal fossils in these walls.
Today, plant and animal life in the Canyon is quite plentiful and varied. The Grand Canyon Park has 1,000 kinds of plants, more than 200 sorts of birds, and about sixty-seven kinds of mammals.
The first Europeans to see the Canyon were Spaniards. They were members of Cororado’s expedition of 1540. These first European visitors were guided by some Indians. Today, Indians live on much of the lands around the Grand Canyon.
In 1919, the American President Woodrow Wilson set up the Grand canyon National Park in order to protect the Park’s land and wildlife. President Wilson said that the Grand Canyon was the one sight that every American should see. Today Americans and many foreigners visit the Grand Canyon – one of nature’s finest monuments.
72. The Grand Canyon is among the most striking sights because of _____.
A. its different rainfall and temperatures

Report on the survey about our school uniforms
I did a survey about our school uniforms in which I asked some of my classmates what they thought about our uniforms. The result is that the majority(60%) like it. They think it’s fashionable and has a nice color. Besides, it’s neat and tidy. At the same time, when they wear school uniforms, they feel equal to others and no need to follow fashion. However, another 30% don’t like it. They feel it’s uncomfortable to wear it and the color is too dull. Moreover, they consider it old fashioned and simple-styled. The rest of the people I surveyed, i.e. 10% have no idea about it.

The other day a man named William Smith went to a police station. He wanted to get a license to drive a car.
Behind the desk in the police station sat a police officer. This police officer was not a very polite man.
“ I would like to get a license to drive a car,” said Mr. Smith a little timidly.
“ You have to fill out this card first,” said the police officer. He threw a small white card in Mr. Smith’s direction. “ Put your name at the top.”
“ In ink?” asked Mr. Smith very politely.
“ Of course, in ink,” said the police, “ Put your last name first and your first name last.”
“ How is that?” said Mr. Smith. He did not understand the police officer.
“ Write your name backwards. Your last name first and your first name last. BACKWARDS!”
“ Backwards?’
“ That’s right. That’s just what I said!”
Slowly, carefully Mr. Smith began to write. It seemed a little strange to him. But the police officer must know what was correct. Mr. Smith wrote his name: HTIMS MAILLIW
