閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中選出最佳選項。
A
The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid．It was Carlos．
"My, you're tall," he exclaimed． Of course, the class began to laugh．Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word．
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest．That would be the last straw．To my relief．Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it．I didn't know why I considered Reed my friend．Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I．
"Take that seat," Mr．McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room．
Carlos smiled broadly．"But I need a couple of dictionaries．" Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him．He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side．
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again．Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president．"How come?" I kept asking myself．"How come this shrimp （蝦） who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn't seem to bother you — being short, I mean．" He looked up at me．"Of course I mind being short．But there isn't anything I can do about it．When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it．My motto is — don't be afraid to be yourself．"

A．won the school election       B．is ashamed of his height

二．根據(jù)各小題的具體要求，簡要回答問題（10分）
Scientists identify “ Happiness Gene ”
If life looks joyful in spite of recession (經濟衰退) ，job insecurity and expanding waistline, then you should consider thanking your “brightside ” gene.
A gene that affects if we’re cheery or gloomy has been tracked down by British researchers, reports The Guardian.
The groundbreaking study claims that individuals who carry the gene don’t pay much attention to negative things happening in their lives and, instead, focus on the happier aspects of life. In the process, they end up becoming more sociable and are generally in better shape psychologically.
Elaine Fox, head of psychology at Essex University, said: “ We’ve shown for the first time that a genetic variation is linked with a tendency to look on the bright side of life. This is a key mechanism underlying resilience (復原力) to general life stress. ”
To reach the conclusion, the research team checked how long it took people to react to good and bad images that flashed up on a computer screen. The study involved more than 100 volunteers.
The positive snaps were that of a couple hugging and someone sailing along in a boat. The negative images included a photo of someone being mugged(搶劫).
Every individual inherits(繼承) two versions of the gene, either two short ones, two long ones , or one of each. People who had two long versions were most likely to focus on the positives, according to the study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B(《皇家學會學報B》) .
61. What is the article about?  2’  ( no more than 2 words )
_____________________________________________________.
62. Generally speaking, people have two significantly different attitudes towards life , what are
they ?  2’  (no more than 5 words )
______________________________________________________.
63. Which negative snap is mentioned ?  3’  ( no more than 6 words )
_______________________________________________________.
64. What kind of people are more likely to be sociable ?  3’  (no more than 9 words )

D
In this voyage I visited my new colony on the island, saw the Spaniards(西班牙人), had the whole story of their lives and of the villains(罪犯) I left there; how at first they treated the poor Spaniards badly,·how they afterwards agreed, disagreed, unired, separated, and how at last the Spaniards were forced to use violence with them; how they gave in to the spaniards, how honestly the Spaniards used them ---- a history, if it were entered into, as full of variety and wonderful
accidents as my own part ---- particularly, also, as to their battles with the Caribbeans, who landed several times upon the Island, and as to the improvement they made upon the Island itself, and how five of them made an attempt upon the main land, and brought away eleven men and five women prisoners, by which, at my coming, I found about twenty young children on the Island.
Here I stayed bout 20 days, left them supplies of all necessary things, and particularly of arms, powder, shot, cloths, tools, and two workmen, which I brought from England with me, namely a carpenter and a smith.
Besides this, I shared the Island into parts with them, reserved to myself the property of whole  but gave them such parts resoeetively as they agreed on; and having settled all things with them and encouraged them not to leave the place, I left them there.
From then on I landed the Brazils, from where I sent a bark, which I bought there, with more people to the island; and in it, besides other supplies, I sent seven women, being such persons as I found proper for service, or for wives to such as would take them. As to the Englishmen, I promised them to send them some women from England, with a good cargo(船貨) of necessaries, if they would apply themselves to planting ---- which I afterwards could not perform. And the fellows proved very honest and diligent after they were mastered and had their properties set apart for them. I sent them also from the Brazils five cows, three of them being big with calf, some sheep, and some pigs, which when I came again were considerably increased.
But all these things, with an account how 300 Caribbeans came and invaded(入侵) them, and ruined their plantations, and how they fought with that whole number twice, and were at first defeated, and one of them killed; but at last a storm destroying most of their enemies’ boats, they destroyed almost all the rest, and renewed and recovered the possession of their plantation, and still lived upon the Island.
All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own,  for ten years more, I may perhaps give a further account of the story.
66. From Paragraph l, we know _______ .
A. the Spaniards were always getting along well with the villains
B. the Spaniards were always the rulers of the island
C. the Spaniards and the villains both ruled the island peacefully
D. the Spaniards and the villains once had battles witll each other
67. In Paragraph 2, the place where I stayed was probably ________.
A. a wild island                    B. a deserted downtown
C. a primitive supermarket           D. a new city
68. The underlined word “respectively” in the third paragraph probably means ______ .
A. separately      B. particularly    C. specially         D. surprisingly
69. The writer of the story once went to _______.
A. Japan and Brazil                  B. England and Brazil
C. France and Spain                 D. Korea and Caribbean
70. From the story, we can judge the Writer might be _______ .
A. an invader      B. a carpenter     C. an adventurer       D. a prisoner

Mr Smith was the manager of a hotel in Springfield. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. Late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. The men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.
Mr Smith wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 414, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men agreed. Mr Smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. Each of them gave Mr Smith $10, and they went up to the room.

A
He was a funny—looking man with a cheerful face，good—natured and a great talker．He was described by his student，the great philosopher Plato，as“the best and most just and wisest man”．Yet this same man was sentenced to death for his belief．
The man was the Greek philosopher，Socrates．He was sentenced for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people．The second charge arose from his association with many young men, who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him．
Socrates’ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers，to press his students into thinking for themselves．His teaching had great influence on all the Greek and Roman schools of philosophy．Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word．
Socrates encouraged new ideas and thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the people who held traditional views．They wanted him silenced．Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily．
Socrates had right to ask for less punishment, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had sentenced him before．But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to accept the death sentence．So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank accept of poison in the presence of his sorrow-stricken friends and students．
56．Which of the following statements does NOT agree with the passage?
