Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at a restaurant. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the check. Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I paid the meal, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.

Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister.” These events in my life are called “milestones”（里程碑）.

There have been other milestones .The policemen of my youth always seemed huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill ,I was over it.

I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra（乐队）attracts me. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, and echo (模仿) my father in arguments with my son. I still lose …

One day I bought a house. One day —what a day！— I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too, another milestone.

60. The tone established in the passage is one of .

A. sad regret B. amusement C. deep feeling D. happiness

61. “Then they were suddenly neither .” suggests that .

A. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid.

B. suddenly I knew that they were neither bigger nor older than I was.

C. suddenly I realized that I made a mistake.

D. suddenly they became older than I was.

62. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ？

A. One day is worth two tomorrows.

B. To save time is to lengthen life.

C. When an opportunity is lost ,it never comes back to you .

D. Time and tide wait for no man .

C

In many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial or ethnic group.

The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world. More and more people with dark skin are using skin-lightening products, even if they may face health risks.

They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.

Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. This process is also called bleaching. But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. One of the most dangerous is hydroquinone(对苯二酚).

Hydroquinone has been banned in several countries. This chemical has been linked to kidney damage and some kinds of cancer. It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy.

At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter. But after long-term use they can cause problems. They can even make some skin darker. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin. The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse.

Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital. Dakar. Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal. She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger. Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin damage.

And these are not the only risks. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regret and sadness. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.

63. Why has the skin lightening become a common activity all over the world?

A．There are many products that can make the dark skin light.

B．Relatively speaking, light skin has more advantages over dark skin

C．Many people with dark skin have no confidence.

D．People with dark skin are forced by the pressure of their families.

64．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “bleaching” ?

A．whitening B．changing C．lighting D．pleasing

65．According to the text the following are the risks using the bleaching products EXCEPT______.

A．blackened fingernails B．permanent skin damage

C．a waste of time and money D．emotional damage

66. From the text we can conclude the writer’s attitude toward using the bleaching products probably is ___________.

A．supportive B．positive C．doubtful D．negative

D

When Chato’s barking didn’t wake up Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling (轻咬) on the teenager’s leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.

No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.

Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”

“Seals called me screaming,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal’s boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”

It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet — until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”

According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord (绳索) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates (估算) for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this.” Clyatt said.

67. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Dogs Saves Teen Girl From House Fire

B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire

C. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors

D. Family Needs Help Due To House Fire

68. By saying “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this.” in the last paragraph, Clyatt means _________.

A. it’s a wonder that Seals survived the fire

B. such a bad fire was seldom seen

C. the house was badly damaged

D. Chato is a very clever dog

69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

A. The owner of the house.

B. The possible cause of the accident.

C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia.

D. The person who called the firefighters.

70. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph most probably refers to

________.

A. the firefighters B. Hamilton family members

C. Vega and her brother Garcia D. other neighbors

I suppose robots could be used as dust people during night time, as they don’t need to sleep and they are comparatively safe in polluted environment.

B

I suppose small remote control robots could be used as sea rescuing workers to search through wreckage（打捞）in a disaster looking for people in the sea. Bomb defusers（扫雷管）are now robots reducing the risk of losing a life.

C

I suppose robots could be used to do jobs that are dangerous, as they can lift heavy objects, paint, handle chemicals, and perform the same job hour after hour, day after day without stop.

D

I suppose robots could be used as chemical researchers. At least they can help us carry harmful chemicals in a chemical plant or help to go into small areas inaccessible to us. It can be used to examine the inside of a nuclear reactor（核反应堆）.

E

I suppose robots could be astronauts and they could travel very far away, like Pluto. If they can, we don’t need to especially train human beings to be astronauts as it costs quite a lot and it also takes many years to make a professional astronaut.

F

I suppose robots could be used as car assembly（装配）workers, in parts of a car building line. Assembly lines make the process move faster, get more work done and cost less. But the job is so mechanical and boring.

G

I suppose robots can do such dangerous jobs as sky-scraper builders that would be safer for human beings. If injured or broken, they can be fixed easily. They can also work in unfavorable conditions such as dark, extreme heat, extreme cold etc.

Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is“Being a Good Listener”.

Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.

Be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.

Thank you for your listening!
