While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货） ，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性） as a whole. And it has influenced（影响） us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 31Why was the bike so important to the couple? AThe mans job was bike racing BIt was their only possession. C It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D They used it for work and daily life. 32We can infer from the text that _. Athe couple worked 60 hours a week. Bpeople were busy before Christmas Cthe stranger brought over the bike Dlife was hard for the young family. 33How did people get to know the couple s problem? AFrom radio broadcasts. BFrom a newspaper. CFrom TV news D From a stranger. 34What do the couple learn from their experience? AStrangers are usually of little help. BOne should take care of their bike. CNews reports make people famous DAn act of kindness can mean a lot. Passage B Our “ Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “ I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I ll take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “ Mommy and Me” time. Christie s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “ She s like a different child when there s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn t have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering （口吃的） son, Tom, doesn t stutter once during our activities since he doesn t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together. The “ Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child -talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves （应得到） to be an only child at least once in a while. 35What is the text mainly about? AThe experience of the only child being with mother. BThe advantage of spending time with one child at a time. CThe happy life of two families. DThe basic needs of children. 36Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _. Ahappy B curious Cregretful Dfriendly 37What is one of the changes the author finds in her children? AThe daughter acts like a leader. BSam holds her hand more often. CThe boys become better followers. DTom has less difficulty in speaking. 38The author seems to believe that _. Ahaving brothers and sisters is fun Bit s tiring to look after three children Cevery child needs parents full attention Dparents should watch others children 四、Directions: Complete each of the following sentences with the proper form of the word derived from the one in brackets. Example 1: Tom does not have a job. He is _. (job) （每小题2 分， 20 分）Answer: joblessExample 2: It is _ to talk with one s mouth full of food. (polite)Answer: impolite 39.

Part I Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television. The device, known as a V- chip (the “ v” stands for violence), allows parents to control their television set so that programs which are unsuitable for children cannot be watched on a particular television. The V-chip works by using an electronic code. When a program is broadcast, the signal from the television transmitter carries a code, which indicates the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. The V-chip inside the television then examines the code for each program and blocks transmission of those programs which contain certain codes. Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable. V-chip technology has attracted a lot of interest. President Clinton passed a law last year which will require all new televisions to be fitted with V-chips by 1998. And the European Parliament（欧洲议会）has included the V-chip in its new Directive on Broadcasting. But critics say that the system will not be fool-proof, and that children will find ways of getting around it. There are also concerns that foreign satellite television companies may not abide by the rules. Others say that if viewers come to rely on the V-chip, other controls on program content may start to be relaxed. 1. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to _. A) turn off the television when they are not home B) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their children C) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV set D) control the amount of time that their children spend on watching TV 2. What do we learn from the passage about the electronic code? A).It is a computer program built in a TV set to examine the V-chip. B) It contains information about the television transmitter. C) It is the signal that is sent out by the V-chip. D) It shows the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program 3. The word “ they ” in Paragraph 4 refers to _. A) makers B) children C) parents D) programs 4. We can conclude from the passage that _. A) TV sets sold in America after 1998 are required to have V-chips B) a law had been passed to prohibit sex and violence on TV C) President Clinton attracted a lot of interest D) the European Parliament decided to import the V-chip technology from USA 5. Critics of the V-chip were concerned that _. A) children may not like the new technology B) imported TV set may not have been equipped with V-chips C) children may get addicted to the new technology D) new problems may arise even if the V-chip works Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能力). Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms. The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand). 6. Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is . A) approximately eight or eight point five thousand million B) approximately seven hundred million C) approximately one hundred and twenty-five million D) exactly twenty-four million 7. The figure of illiteracy in Britain comprises . A) zero point one per cent of that of illiteracy in the world B) zero point two per cent of the world adult population C) thirty-five per cent of Europe s population D) three point five per cent of that of the illiteracy in Southern Europe 8. It is obvious that UNESCO . A) is a company in France B) works mainly at combating illiteracy C) is a world organization attached to the U. N. D) has many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy 9. A world plan mentioned in the passage aims at . A) enforcing the functions of UNESCO B) training responsible citizens C) urging Southern European countries to take the lead in attacking illiteracy D) helping illiterates learn how to read and write 10. The author implies that this world plan is to . A) be carried out in the major areas of illiteracy like Africa B) be realized in ten years C) be drawn up by Parisian experts D) be debated at an international conference Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. In the course of the late 1930s thousands of workers transformed an old garbage dump in the New York borough of Queens into the 1939-40 New York World s Fair. For the price of a five -cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty- seven attendees could sample personally “ the wonders of contemporary life.”Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the goods produced by their nationals and by others. Alth ough London s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French w
