A
Water skiing is a sport with many social, economic and health benefits to society. It is unique in that it is a sport where able and disabled persons, and people as young as 5 years and as old as 80 years of age can participate alongside each other. It is a sport that involves more than one person, and is a wonderful family activity that gathers members together for a day of fun at a favorite waterway.
Anyone who has put on water skis can attest to its health benefits — it is a sport that demands and develops strength, ability and endurance. The sport includes several disciplines(训练) including slalom, tricks, cable, jump, ski racing, knee-board, wake-board, and barefoot, with each of these practiced for either recreational or competitive enjoyment.
Safety Tips For Water-Skiers
Don' t take unnecessary risks while water-skiing. The following tips will help you safely enjoy this thrilling sport:
ALWAYS have an observer in the boat. This is a legal requirement in many states. The boat driver cannot watch the skier and operate the boat safely at the same time.
ALWAYS wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) designed for water skiing. Ski belts are NOT recommended. Your approved PFD will help keep you afloat.
Never ski in rough water. High waves or a choppy sea will prevent the tow boat from maintaining a steady course and speed.
NEVER ski after dark. It is dangerous and illegal. Any boat traveling fast enough to tow a skier is traveling too fast to navigate safely at night.
NEVER water-ski while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Such activity is extremely dangerous because of the impairment to your judgment and ability to respond. A recent study conducted with expert skiers who were purposely drunk indicated that even their ability to ski was dramatically reduced.
Use hand signals between the skier and observer. Agree before you start what each signal means so there is no confusion at a critical moment.
56. Who can accompany you to go water skiing?
A.
A pupil in a primary school. B.
A person who is disabled.
C. A family
member. D.
All above.
57. Which is wrong according to the text?
A. Water skiing helps build up one' s strength.
B. The disciplines mentioned are only for competitions. C. Hand signals should be agreed on between skiers. D. Rough water makes the tow boat less steady.
58. Which of the following is against law while doing water skiing?
A. An observer doesn' t watch the skier. B. A skier doesn' t fasten his safe belt.
C. Go skiing at midnight. D. To go skiing after drinking wine.
59. The propose of writing the
article is to ______.
A. warn people of danger of going skiing
B. tell how to enjoy water skiing properly and safely
C. tell people, both young and old, to learn to go skiing
D. tell people not go skiing after drinking too much wine

When American students graduate from college, they must find jobs for themselves. But often they get help from their college and university, Every college has a career counseling office. The people who work there help students learn about different kinds of jobs and the chances for employment. Students can discuss their first year of college. Some use the information a counselor gives them when deciding what subjects to study.
For example, a girl student wants to be an engineer. But she does not know what kind. The counselor can tell the girl that, when she graduates in four years, there will be more jobs for structural engineers than for chemical engineers. Therefore. The student may study structural engineering.
The career counseling office also communicates with local and national companies. Company officials often visit the university to talk to students who want to work for them. The career counseling offices arrange these meetings for the company and the students. They also have classes for students. They teach the students how to find a job such as what to say to company officials and how to write letters telling about themselves.
Experts say that American students who are employed when they finish college usually find jobs in their own field of study. Those who must search for months after graduation usually take lower paid jobs, and their jobs are not connected to what they studied in college.

D
For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
68．The passage tries to highlight the importance of _________.
A．body size B．attitudes toward life
C．culture difference D．different beauty standards
69．What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．All the problems. B．All the properties.
C．The whole world. D．The absolute truth.
70．What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan.
B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
71．According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
E
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation－for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of “temporary”) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co－workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
72．How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
A．Talk to friends. B．Just ignore it.
C．Go to see a doctor. D．Ask your teachers for guidance.
73．“It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ___________.
A．temporary loneliness B．situational loneliness
C．a new place D．sleeplessness
74．Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A．Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B．Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness
C．Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D．Chronic loneliness is incurable.
75．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Three kinds of loneliness B．Loneliness and disease
C．Loneliness and social contacts D．Chronic loneliness

Recently we have a heated a discussion on whether people should keep pets an home in cities.
Some students think it is a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides , getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them form polluting the environment.
