B
When I was looking at my railway timetable, I read with satisfaction that there was an express train (快車) to Westhaven. It went to the station in my hometown and the journey lasted only an hour and 17 minutes. When I got on the train, I couldn’t help noticing that a lot of villagers got on as well. At that time I was not surprised at all. I thought that there might be many people besides myself who wished to take the express train to save time. Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Wildly, a small station a few miles along the line. Even an express train can be delayed sometimes. But when the train stopped station after station, I began to wonder. It suddenly struck me that this express was not running down the line at 90 miles an hour, but no more than 30. One hour and 17 minutes passed and we had not covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was Westhaven Express, but he said he had not even heard of it. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he said there was not such an express train, I asked for his copy of the timetable. There was a sign of victory in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Looking at the timetable, he told me to look careful. At the bottom of the page it said, “This service has been stopped.”
61. The passage mainly tells us about ______.
A. the writer’s unhappy journey on a train
B. a mistake in the railway timetable
C. a careless mistake made by the writer
D. the reason why the train was delayed
62. An express train should travel at the speed of ______.
A. more than 40 miles an hour
B. no more than 40 miles an hour
C. 90 miles an hour
D. less than 90 miles an hour
63. Which of the following is true according to the story?
A. The writer got a wrong timetable.
B. The writer had wanted to take an express train.
C. The villagers got on an express train to save time.
D. None of the passengers had heard of Westhaven Express
64. The writer didn’t realize he was on the wrong train until ______.
A. he saw a lot of villagers getting on the train
B. the train stopped at a small station
C. he found the train was delayed
D. an hour passed after he got on the train
65. What was the writer’s mistake?
A. He didn’t notice the words at the bottom of the timetable.
B. He didn’t know that Westhaven Express was not in the timetable at all.
C. He got on a train which didn’t go to Westhaven.
D. The express train changed it speed.

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!
The fast day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting (刻上) upon my mind the outward (外表的, 表面的) evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could catch a vision of the eager, innocent (天真無邪的) beauty which precedes (在…之前, 先于) the individual's consciousness (意識) of the conflicts which life develops.
And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs--the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.
On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate (使陶醉) my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately (拼命地) to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance (才華, 才智) which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing (耕地) in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
When darkness had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by man-made light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.
In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!
(by Helen Keller)
The first day what Helen Keller would do (66) _________ given three days to see
In the morning
●  Look long into the faces of all her dear friends so that she would (67) _______ upon her mind the outward (外表的, 表面的) the evidences of their beauty that is within them

●  View the small simple things of her home such as warm colors, pictures, trifles.
●  Fix her eyes with (69)_____ on the books in raised type she has read and the printed books for seeing people with interest.
In the afternoon
● (70) _________ in the woods; intoxicate (使陶醉) her eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature and absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance of the world.
●  Walk past a farm, see the (71) ________ horses ploughing (耕地) in tile field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil.
●  Pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
In the (72)_______
(73) ___________the double delight of being able to see, helped by man-made light.
At night

It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and the old headmaster was addressing the students on important things in life and about   21   ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:

D
An “apple-polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe（賄賂）, but is close to it.
“Apple-polishing” is as old as human society, but the phrase itself is recent, about 50 years old. It comes from the schoolroom. For a long time, some schoolboys would leave a shiny（有光澤的，發(fā)光的） apple on the teacher’s desk. They would rub and polish the apple to give it a bright shine, so as to make it look more tasty. Such a gift, the students hoped, might make the teacher shut her eyes to their poor work and give them a good mark.
All sorts of people are apple-polishers, including politicians and people in high offices—almost everybody.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing”— “soft-soaping” or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”.
Another way that is just as effective as apple-polishing is flattery, giving someone high praise — telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how wise he is. Flattery, of course, is the cheapest kind of “apple polishing”.
To flatter another costs you nothing and you can give it as freely as you want. And you can always find somebody eagerly looking for it.
53. An “apple-polisher” is one who ________.
A. tries to please someone to get favor   
B. bribes with money to get something
C. is really friendly to everyone around him
D. plants apple trees and polishes his apples every day
54. Why did the students polish the apple for their teacher?
A. They hoped that she would not pay attention to them.
B. They didn’t want her to wash the apple by herself.
C. They wished to draw her attention.
D. They longed for her giving them a good mark.  
55. According to the passage, the cheapest way to please someone is ________.
A. to flatter him                                               B. to bribe him
C. to talk freely with him                             D. to play jokes on him
56. The author seems to suggest that ________.
A. nobody likes to be flattered                    B. very few people apple-polish others
C. apple-polishing is a kind of bribe            D. many people like to be soft-soaped

閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。
首先請閱讀以下幾種青少年雜志的簡要介紹：
A. Teens Now is a successful music magazine for teenagers that lists who is playing, where and when and how to get tickets. Interviews with well-known singers and groups as well as biographies are included. It also gives its young readers the chance to send their own articles.
B. NS Teens magazine is well-known for its wildlife and environmental content but it also has articles on the history and culture of people from all over the world. Some of the articles are long and detailed but the magazine is also famous for its fantastic photo-journalism. There are letters from readers as well as maps and fact sheets.
C. Top Teens is easy to read and full of color photographs. There are a range of different sections including those offering fashion and beauty advice. But the majority of its pages are devoted to interviews with the popular, well-known fashion models and stars of cinema, music and sports.
D. The only environmental magazine written by teenagers for teenagers is Young WB. Readers are invited to send their articles and photographs to the magazine’s office and materials are chosen for the next issue. As well as articles about the natural world, the magazine also has many special offers and competitions.
