閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳答案。
We’ve talked about snails (蝸牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (殼) —sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all  the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail  looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (觸角), are very weak. But its sense (感覺) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大頭針). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
51. A snail _________.
A. moves more slowly at night        B. has thousands of  feet
C. doesn’t move at all                     D. sleeps much of the time
52. In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”,  the word “draw” means _____.
A. to make with a pencil        B. to push      C. to pul     D. to move away

A. a snail’s shell is very thin           B. a snail can’t see well
C. a snail’s nose is quite short        D. a snail’s body changes                                    in different seasons
54. A snail goes to sleep when _____.
A. it feels hungry   B. it is put into a paper box  C. spring is coming   D. it rains heavily
55. Which of the following is wrong?
A. In winter the snail doesn’t eat or move.

When I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.
Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life's precious quirks ( 偶發(fā)事件 ) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.
小題1:The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________ .       
A.he can't afford his house

“Lately, I have been feeling very stressed and easily lose my temper at people around me,” said Susan Huang. Her troubles are typical of someone her age, according to a survey by the Chinese Academy of Science’s Psychology Institute. In 2000, the institute’s researchers began surveying close to 8,000 people nationwide. People were studied in relation to the pressures they felt during periods of transition.
The results of the survey were released last week, and they make for the interesting reading. For example, people used to take for granted that the older they were, the more pressure they felt.
But, surprisingly, the results have shown that young people in their twenties are the most stressed. This is because young people are forming their values at a time when Chinese society is undergoing great changes, explained Chen Long, a member of the survey team.
“Society is changing and neither their parents nor their teachers can teach them enough to know how to cope with it,” Chen said. Some of them get anxious from the overwhelming amount of information in the wired world, Chen added.
Another problem is that the economic reforms have forced people to develop a more competitive attitude. Those surveyors said they felt more pressure from heavier work-loads, increased peer competition, and greater responsibilities.
Medical disputes and business activities increasingly find their way into people’s free time and simply add to their stress, the survey showed.
Then there is the pressure to achieve more also weighing heavily on people. This is particularly true for those with higher education. Those people really want to acquire new knowledge and use their ability to get ahead and get more out of society.
The researchers hope their survey will throw some light on the state of mental health among the Chinese during this period of major economic and political reforms.
61.Which of the following is one of the reasons for the pressures people felt?
A.people are forming their values.
B.Chinese society is not undergoing a period of transition.
C.The economic reforms have forced young people to develop a more competitive attitude.
D.People with higher education really want to achieve more.
62.What does the underlined word “they” refer to?
A.People getting stressed.               B.The results of the survey.
C.Periods of transition.                 D.The researchers.
63.According to Huang, people with pressure are likely to ____.
A.form their values                    B.a(chǎn)chieve more out of society
C.lose their temper                    D.make for interesting reading
64.The purpose of the author in writing this article is to ____.
A.share the state of people with pressure
B.tell us how to deal better with pressure
C.a(chǎn)dvise people to develop an active attitude to life
D.a(chǎn)ttract more attention to people’s mental health
