Christmas was an exciting season for my six-year-old son. For weeks, he’d been memorizing   36  for the “Winter Ceremony” in his kindergarten class. I went to  37  their rehearsal(排演).
As I waited, students were led into the room. Each class,  38  by their teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each group, one by one  39  to perform their song. I didn’t expect anything other than fun.
My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large  40 , one by one, to spell out the  41  of the song. When the class sang: “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C, then another would hold up “H” for happy, and on and on,  42  each child was holding up a letter, presenting the  43  message, “Christmas Love”.
The performance was going  44 , until suddenly we noticed her, a small, quiet girl in the  45  row holding the letter “M” upside down-totally  46  that her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience began to laugh at this little girl’s  47 . But she had no idea that they were laughing at her, so she stood tall,  48  holding her “W”.  49  many teachers tried to quiet the children, the  50  continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A  51  came over the audience and eyes began to  52 . In that instant we understood the  53  why we were there, and even though it was such a busy holiday, there was a(n)  54  for celebrating Christmas. When the  55  letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: “ CHRIST WAS LOVE”. And I believe that this is why Christmas is so important.

Hummingbirds have got their name from the distinct “hum” sound made by their rapidly flapping (拍打) wings. The size of the bird decides the number of flaps it can do. The average lifetime of a hummingbird is 3 or 4 years, but some of them have lived beyond 12 years also. They are unique in many ways. Besides the number of rapid flaps they can do per second, they can also fly backwards.
Hummingbirds have an amazing sense of assessing the amount of sugar in the nectar (花蜜) they eat. They feed on the nectar of flowers. Hummingbirds do not feed on flowers whose nectar contains less than 10% sugar. Talk about a sweet tooth! As they cannot sustain themselves on nectar alone because of its poor nutritional value, they also feed on insects and spiders, and hummingbird food mixture that one can make at home.
Attracting hummingbirds to your garden will require a little planning. Plant butterfly bush, mimosa, coral bells, foxglove, morning glory, etc. These flowers attract the hummingbirds due to their high visibility (可見性) and nectar production. Avoid using pesticides (殺蟲劑), as it will not only kill the insects around the flowers, but hurt the hummingbirds as well.
A common food for these birds is the sweettasting sugar syrup (糖漿). Hummingbird food ingredients are just two: sugar and water. Take a large clean bowl, pour in it four cups of hot water, and dissolve one cup of table sugar in it. Stir slowly until all sugar has dissolved.
Hummingbirds, tiny as they are, collect a lot of nutrition. Providing them with hummingbird food mixture made of sugar water is a sure way to get all these beauties humming in your garden.
小題1:Hummingbirds will have some little animals for their meal when      .
A.they can't find any green plants
B.they can't take in enough nutrition
C.they are bored with eating nectar
D.they are too old to fly
小題2:In order to attract hummingbirds, you should      .
A.plan high trees
B.grow plants with small flowers
C.grow plants whose flowers are bright in color
D.grow plants coming into flower in the morning
小題3:The main idea of the fourth paragraph is      .
A.how to prepare food for hummingbirds
B.where hummingbirds can find delicious food
C.hummingbirds can't live for long without sugar
D.hummingbirds like manmade food better than nectar

I made the point that one reason why we’re seeing more stay – at – homw dads may be hat it’s no longer definite that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home.” A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it’s a code for “My wife, or any woman is the better parent.”
I was a stay – at – home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly. But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could.

It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.

I am sure that everybody in his/her life has used computers.Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere—at home,at school,at work and they certainly make life easier.On the other hand,there are people who can work without them.
Anyway, I believe their presence is a good thing.Life with them seems less difficult and more comfortable.You can use them to choose your meal,to withdraw your money,and also to save your time,because these operations ale all controlled by computers.Therefore,you can hardly imagine the modern world without them;the whole planet seems to be one big computer society.
Nevertheless,problems call often appear in this area,too.To have a computer means you have to be quite rich and have the necessary skills to use it.However, think about questions like,“Are computers available for everyone, for rich and poor people,for people from villages and people from cities? Aren’t they too expensive? Is everyone able to learn how to use them and does everyone have the chance to access and work with them? How could everything in the future be dependent on them?”Therefore,I think our society will be divided into two pans.One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out of society and will actually be left far behind the other group.
Another question that bothers me is,computers are important and they’re good things in our life, but they aren’t everything. They are good as a help at school, quite often as entertainment, especially for young people, as an necessary tool to help in research etc. , but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them, because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything, can’t be human and sympathetic, and every action performed by computer can be interfered(干涉) with could cause these machines to crash or work badly.
In conclusion, I would like to say I am not against computers. I use computers too, but people should be wary all the time.

①="Paragraph " ②="Paragraph2 " ③="Paragraph" 3  ④Paragraph4  ⑤=Paragraph5

A.be strongly for the use of computers because of its convenience
B.be careful with computers that will also cause problems
C.master more necessary computer skills
D.not do something that causes computers to work badly
74.In the third paragraph,the author presents his idea by      
A.a(chǎn)sking questions for people to think about
B.giving examples to support his argument
C.raising questions and answering them
D.expressing his opinion directly
75.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to       .

For better health, many people turn to doctors or self-help books.But they don’t realize that their friends could help them fight illness and sadness, slow aging and help them live a longer life.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in whole health.A 10-year Australian study found that old people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study than those with fewer friends.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated,” said Rebecca G.Adams, a professor of the University of North Carolina.“Friendship has a bigger influence on us than family relationships.” Why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear.While friends can pick up medicine for a sick person, the advantages go well beyond physical help.
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the foot of a steep(陡峭的)hill and fitting them with a heavy backpack.They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill.Some of them stood next to their friends during the research, while others were alone.The students who stood with their friends judged the hill to be lower than the hills in other students’ eyes.And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen A Roberto, director of the medical center at Virginia Tech.“Friendship is a great resource, but many people don’t realize it.The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
64.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that     .
A.friends could take the place of doctors and medicine
B.researchers have studied the importance of friendship for a long time
C.people with few friends usually die at a young age
D.people with many friends can live longer
65.Which of the following is RTUE of Professor Adams?
A.She thinks friends affect us more than family members.
B.She likes making friends with different people.
C.She advises people to choose a close friend.
D.She knows the role of friendship in her life.
66.The underlined word “estimate” in Paragraph 3 means “       ”.
A.judge         B.find      C.learn           D.imagine
67.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How to keep healthy            B.How to make friends
C.The importance of friendship     D.The meaning of real friends

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty –six days in a life-raft (救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales (鯨魚). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water— two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw (生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks (鯊魚) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
