Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I

lived a 36 life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really
nice.
Then something 37 happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney
stones ( ), which had to be 38 surgically as soon as possible. But it
was not as 39 as that! Our friend could not 40 the operation, which put
him into deep 41 . I didnt know how to help him because I didnt have any
money either. 42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other 43
and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.
Before I left
the hospital, I
talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the
expenses the next day 44 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been
45 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that
much money?
All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be 46
to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to
borrow money but failed. I tried 47 my things but no one wanted them. Then
I had the idea of talking to my 48 . I asked him if I could have my next two
months salary in advancewithout even thinking on how I would 49 for
two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told
him that I had a friend who was really in need. 50 I convinced him too and
then he gave my two months salary without any 51 !
Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My
friend didnt know how to thank me. I just said, Come on! Give me a 52 !
Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you
can find it on the 53 time in your life! Ive done a good thing by being a (an) 54
friend and I think it is well worth the 55 .

Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when I
discovered Tom Sawyer. But even at the height of my admiration, I couldnt
agree with him that Anne, the main character in Anne of Green Gables, was
the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the best-known Alice. I
had read Anne of Green Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made me
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

as sick as a dog.
Another
Mark
Twains
quote will explain my problem. He said, When I was a boy of 14, my father
was so ignorant () that I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had
learned in seven years. I gradually understood his words as growing up.
When I picked up the book again a few years later, I too was astonished at
how much it had improvedand shortly afterwards shocked by the fact that
not only could I be a fool in all sporting, artistic and practical matters, I could
also be so when it came to reading too.
On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed a dear and most lovable
child. I couldnt help adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with
the e instead of Ann as she believes that is so much more distinguished.
She is a brave and determined survivor of a severe upbringing who has
refused to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and
Matthew Cuthberts farm with everything unfavorableorphaned, unwanted
and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled () face. However, she
gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through her honest
love of beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She
finally wins over the Cuthberts, their neighbors and millions of readers who
have met her over the 101 years since the book was first published.
When I settle down with it these days, Ive come to see the truth in Mark
Twains praise for the book, and this reminds me of the great truth that you
are never too young to start rereading.
59. According to Paragraph 1, we can know the writer ______.
A. believed Anne to be loveable
B. admired Mark Twain because of Anne
C. regarded Tom Sawyer as the dearest child
D. disagreed with Mark Twains opinion on Anne
60. By referring to Mark Twains remark on his father, the writer wants to
prove that ______.
A. peoples attitude may change
B. learning can change a person
C. the relationships between people can improve
D. young people never make correct judgments
61. The reason why the writer admires Anne now is that _______.
A. she is an ambitious girl
B. she is welcome by the readers

C. she adapts to her environment well

D. she changes her name to make it easy to remember
62. The writers purpose of writing the passage is to ______.
A. recommend Anne of Green Gables

C. prove that peoples first impression can not be right
D. encourage us to reread the books that we may not like at first

Why texting harms your IQ
The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than
twice as much as smoking marijuana ( ). That is the statement of
researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or
computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up
to 10 points off the users IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares
unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana,
according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of
improved stupidity as infomania. The research conducted by Hewlett
Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem
for adult workers, especially men.
It
is
concluded that
too much use of modern technology can damage a persons mind. It can
cause a constant distraction of always on technology when employees
should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that
they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent
state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in
hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be
considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At
a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts
of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.
Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a
persons mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed
during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were
addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they
scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that
they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a
meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and
anxiety and affecting ones characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that
colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting
were extremely rude.
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

University of London. This is a very real and widespread phenomenon, he

said. We have found that infomania will damage a workers performance by
reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies
should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.
63. We can learn from the passage that infomania ______.
A. has a positive influence on ones IQ
B. results in the change of part of the brain
C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration
D. is caused by too much use of modern technology
64. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______.
A. the important function of advanced technology
B. the damage to ones brain done by unhealthy habits
C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology
D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness
65. The underlined word scrutinized probably means ______.
A. examined carefully
B. copied patiently
C. corrected quickly
D.
admitted freely

It took me
more

than

10

years to realize that the world has no shortage of fashion () designers who
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

have the ability to make trendy and elegant garments, but that it is badly in
need of, simply, clothes designers. My own definitions would set fashion and
clothing greatly apart. It is a fact that, in the shopping malls, there are plenty
of beautiful garments whose unpredictability makes our life colorful and
interesting. You are almost convinced: You can buy whatever you dare to
think.
There is no
doubt

that

fashion designers are usually with high qualifications. They study fashion
trends, select colors, and make sure the final production of their designs is
done properly. However, as experience grew with age, my attraction to arts
became ever stronger. I have a strong desire for clothing to stand as does
paint to the painter, as does stone to the sculptor, as a simple and particular
language of an individual creation, which draws the audience from an
appreciation of the surface to deeper thoughts with the world of the soul. I
believe that the most meaningful creative motives should arise through caring
for other people, the great care of humanitya concern for human feeling and
spirituality. This includes love, but it is bigger than love, and it is
unconditional. I believe the greatest works of art can touch the deepest and
strongest parts of human feelings and the world of the spirit, and only these
works can be the memories of history, preserving the most valuable feelings
that have ever existed, and inspiring a greater awareness of ourselves.
I am not satisfied if people only appreciate clothing if it merely satisfies
their desire. I believe clothing could be a specific creative language for
communicating ideas and thoughts, for inspiring you and shaping your
behavior. Those clothes fashioned out of necessity possess a power that can
continue to exist across the ages. This is what I have tried to achieve, the
clothing to return to its original simplicity, the clothing to help people regain
the natural sense. The true fashion today should not follow the trends. It
should instead uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary, for I believe the
pleasure you get from the clothing is not its price, but its spirit.
67. According to the writer, most fashion designers are ______.
A. lack of imagination
C. unproductive

B. deep in thought
D. trendy

68. By saying This includes love in Paragraph 2, the writer regards love as
______.
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

A. a very important part of the spiritual world

B. what can be achieved through the works of hand
C. one of the most meaningful creative motivations
D. a form of concern for human feeling and spirituality
69. The writer indicates that the primitive clothes are made as a result of
______.
A. respect for nature

B. spiritual value

C. necessity

D. simplicity

70. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Humanity is fundamental in fashion design.
B. The growing fashion trends present human interest.
C. Designers must concern for the desire of consumers.
D. Fashion clothes have close relations with earth predictions.

Do It Yourself
Do it yourself (DIY) is a term used to describe building or repairing of
something without the aid of experts. It came into common usage in the
1950s in reference to home improvement projects which people might choose
to complete independently.

71

It promotes the ability of the ordinary

person to learn to do more than what he thinks is possible.

From
late

the
20th

century, we have given in to the convenience of being told the right way to
do things because it is convenient.
organized

entertainment,

and

even

72

We have organized shopping,

organized

marriage.

With

the

development of industrial revolution, we have had our clothes and furniture

made with the help of the machine. Our food supply has left our backyards
and ventured () into the factory. Things get cheaper and easier to find, but
we buy as one and eat as one.
DIY culture holds a powerful belief:
73
That statement may seem like
the DIY movement is quite self-centered, but there is great evidence that the
opposite is true. By creating with our own minds and hands, by relying on
what has come before and projecting what will be, we have become open to
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

many possibilities.

74

People can both create to serve their own needs and find the value in
what others create. In other words, we can both learn how to make what we
desire ourselves and consume goods made by others.

75

But the joy of

DIY culture is how we begin to find our interconnectedness, for example, our
talents of swimming and skating with the talents of others in our community.
A. Almost everything in our life has been arranged in a system.
B. DIY provides us with some particular requirements and tools.
C. People can have what they want if they can learn to make it themselves.
D. We question the lifestyle based on our values and fashioned with our
hands.
E. Of course the danger of DIY culture is that we try to become entirely selfconfident.
F. In recent years, DIY has taken on a broader meaning that covers a wide
range of skill sets.
G. We can sew our own clothes, grow vegetables, and do other activities that
put us in touch with the processes of life.
