   A
   I fell in love with England because it was quaint （古雅）—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
   Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
   I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
   As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to useit, but now I’m afraid.
   The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
   71. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
   1. is not used to the life there now
   2. has lived there for seventeen years
   3. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
   4. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
      72. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
      1. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant. C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.

73. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______.

1. a taxi B. the money C. a bomb D. public transport

74. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.

A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family D. didn't like the British idea of family

B

Laptop (便携式)computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1．500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet .In addition. they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast –food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!

At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers .The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said ,“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki（赫尔辛基）during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams（有轨电车）, you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.

The sea is always present(出现的) in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.

A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.

The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront（滨水区）of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.

However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.

78．Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ________.

A．19th century buildings, boats and parksB．19th century buildings, boats and seabirds

C．old houses, parks and tramsD．old buildings, boats and the sea

79．The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go ________.

A．by boatB．by busC．by tramD．on foot

80．The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that Helsinki is _________.

A．both splendid and traditionalB．both quiet and noisy

C．both historical and modernD．both old and new

81．This passage is most likely to be found in _________.

A．a story-bookB．a geography textbook C．a research report D．a travel magazine

D

When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.

At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city．Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly．As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then．But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.

From then on he simply got better．Some rival coaches(对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop(棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups(擦板球)．Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.

When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly．He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine．He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them．Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe．Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers．“People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player．Don’t forget that.”

82．Many schools offer Alcindor scholarships because ______.

　A．he was young B．he was hardworking

　C．he was tall for his age D．he was skillful at playing basketball

83．Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?

　 A．serious, popular and slow B．tall, skillful and successful

　C．kind, powerful and undefeated D．well-known, strict and experienced

84．Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?

　A．Their teams refused to play Power. B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor.

　C．Their teams would lose courage. D．Their teams would lose interest.

85．What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press．

B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters.

　 C．Why the press followed Alcindor closed.

D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly.

One possible version:

My parents have been wanting me to study abroad, but I don’t agree with them. I think my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. And I’m not fully developed physically and mentally. So it would be hard for me to deal with the problems I’ll face. Besides the cost will be too much for my family.

However, my parents think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country. Worse still, studying abroad at an early age will enable me to be independent. Then it would be easier for me to learn advanced knowledge and technology, which would prepare me for a brighter future.

I really don’t know whether I should obey my parents or not. I need advice!
