George, when your big brother and your little dog and I walked you up to schools today, you
had no idea how I was feeling.
You were so excited. You had packed and unpacked your pencils and safety scissors in your backpack a dozen times. I am really going to miss those lazy mornings when we waved your brother and sister off to school.
Because you are my youngest, I had learned a few things by the time you came along. I found out that the seemingly endless days of babyhood are gone like lightning. I blinked(眨眼), and your older siblings were setting off for school as eagerly as you did this morning, I was one of the lucky ones; I could choose whether to work or not. By the time it was your turn, the shining prizes of career advancement and a double income had lost their brightness. A splash(濺水) in the pool with you in your bright red boots or "just one more" rereading of your favorite book, Frog and Toad Are Friends, meant more. You didn't go to preschool and I hope that doesn't hold you back. You learned numbers by helping me count the soda cans we returned to the store.
I have to admit that in my mind's eye, an image of myself while you're in school has developed, I see myself updating all the photo albums and starting that novel I always wanted to write. As the summer wound down and more frequent quarrels erupted between you and your siblings, I was looking forward to today. And then this morning, I walked you up the steep hill to your classroom. You found the coat hook with your name above it right away, and you gave me one of your characteristically fierce, too-tight hugs. This time you were ready to let go before I was.
Maybe someday you will deliver a kindergartner to the first day of school. When you turn at the door to wave good-bye, he or she will be too deep in conversation with a new friend to notice. Even as you smile, you'll feel something warm on your cheek.
And then, you’ll know…
64．What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?

B．She could only recall her good job at home now.
C．Many good jobs with better pay attracted her but she didn’t take them.
D．Compared with bringing up the baby, work seemed to fade to her.
65．Which statement is NOT TRUE about George’s family according to the letter?
A．George’s parents gave birth to three children
B．The Georges is a double income family.
C．The children had more arguments during the summer.
D．They recyled soda cans.

閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，共15分）
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)要求回答后面的問題。（注意字?jǐn)?shù)要求）
[1] If you are applying for an American higher education, you probably dream of getting into an Ivy League （常青藤聯(lián)盟） university．The eight schools with the best reputations attract top students from the United States and many other countries．However, on average, the Ivy League schools accept less than 15 percent of applicants．And with the applicants growing in size year on year, it is becoming more and more difficult _________．
[2] So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?
[3]Having a high school grade point average （GPA） in the top 10 percent of your class and being ranked among the top few students dramatically betters your chances．But although GPA and SAT scores are important, they only tell admission deans（主任） part of the story．
[4] The whole admissions process will single out （挑選出） from a large pool of academically strong applicants the unique individuals．They stand out because they have shown in their interviews a range of virtues （優(yōu)點(diǎn)） expected of these universities．Take Harvard for example．Although there is no guarantee of admission, the school judges applicants based on 15 additional criteria．
[5] Intellectual curiosity （求知欲） comes first tor almost all admission deans．Schools look to such students because they believe their peers find them slimulaling（激勵(lì)人的）inside and outside the classroom．
[6] Leadership also weighs heavily．The school would rather see an applicant who takes on additional responsibility in one or two areas where he or she is good at, rather than one who is merely "very good" academically．This can mean the class presidencv（主席職務(wù)）, leading the cheerleading team or being the officer of a student union．
[7] Whether a person has personal warmth and cares about others counts a lot with the admission deans．Writing an essay on a personal experience, like a summer spent raising funds for the earthquake victims or teaching in a local school, can show that a person has qualities in addition to academic experience．
76．What is the purpose of the passage? （no more than 15 words）
77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
The universities pay attention to the students with this virtue in that they can inspire their fellow students at school.
78．Fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (no more than 5 words)
79．Based on the passage, list three additional criteria for admission besides academic performance．（no more than 10 words）
①_________________ ?②_______________ ?③____________________
80．Translate the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph into Chinese.

Inventor，physicist，surveyor，astronomer，biologist，artist…Robert Hooke was all these and more．Some say he Was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century．In the course of his work，he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton，and the great architect, Chrish@ler Wren．
Hoocke's early education began at home，under the guidance of his father．He entered Westnfinster School at the age of 13，and from there went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England．Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments．In 1662，at the age of 28, he was named Curator of
Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating new experiments at the society’s weekly meetings．Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favorite pastimes．He invented a compound microscope for this purpose．One day while observing a cork(軟木塞)under a microscope，he saw honeycomb-like structures．They were cells—the smallest units of life．In fact，it was Hooke who invented the term“cell” as the boxlike ceils of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
Another achievement Of Hook’s was his book Micrographi which introduced the．Enormous potential of the microscope．It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the  microscope．The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity，light and combustion(燃燒)that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenomena．
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too．A crater(坑)on the moon is named  after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science．
68．Why possibly did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments?

B
A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(顯出) it wasn’t.
When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.
But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.
An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.
John Renehan:
Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.
Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.
41．John Renehan cremated his “father”         .
A．in 2003                  B．in 2000                   C．in 2005                   D．in 2008
42．What mistake did police make?
A．They couldn’t find Mr Delaney as soon as possible.
B．In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.
C．They didn’t give any information to John Renehan.
D．They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.
43．The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that        .
A．he had memory loss.                                   B．his family disliked him
C．he liked to live outside                     D．he met with a friendly family
44．It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney       .
A．has recovered his memory
B．often quarrelled with his family
C．loitered(游蕩) in the streets for 5 years
D．was once a man with luck
45．Which of the following is the best title?
A．A Badly-rotten Body                                   B．Missing Body
C．Missing Father                                       D．Dead Father

C
After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why answer to the
question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife?” Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.
Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second．class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society  made“going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day?  I would be every curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would  pie up．Food in the house would run out．There would be no learn clothes when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last? Not 1ong, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after clearing out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to craw（爬）into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.
64．What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?
A．Cooking.            B．Tidying the house.  
C．Driving a taxi.         D．Some unpaid work.
65．The underlined word “notion” in the second paragraph can be replaced by the word        .
A．mother     B．citizen      C．similarity  D．thought
66．We can learn from the second paragraph        .
A．mothers are actually great women  B．our society looks down upon housewives
C．housewives should go on a strike    D．doing housework is not important at all
67．The possible main idea of the third paragraph is        .
A．men should share housework with their wives
B．a(chǎn)ttitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well
C．kids are the most challenging part of the housework
D．men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife
