A

Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite（相反的）and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first means all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.

My ideal (理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below—he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model（榜样）. With his help I am free from all difficulties. Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence（存在）of the word “failure”.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee（裁判）or trouble to keep scores (比分). They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled（困惑） at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident（自信）, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend（假装）to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

63. What is true about children when they play games?

A. They can stop playing any time they like.

B. They can test their personal abilities.

C. They want to pick a better team.

D. They don’t need rules.

64. To become a leader in a game the child has to .

A. play well B. wait for his turn

C. be confident in himself D. be popular among his playmates

65. What do we know about grown-ups?

A. They are not interested in games.

B. They find children’s games too easy.

C. They don’t need a reason to play games.

D. They don’t understand children’s games.

66. Why does a child like playing games?

A. Because he can be someone other than himself.

B. Because he can become popular among friends.

C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.

D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.

D

For years, business people in Western Europe were worried. They knew they could not compete against business from the U.S.. The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European country.

Some European people realized that the European nations needed to join together to help each other. If they could forget their language differences and the differences in customs, they might become strong competition against other countries.

In 1958, six of the European countries—Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Italy got together and decided to cooperate. They called their group the European Economic Community, or the Common Market. These countries agreed to join their resources together.

Within a few years, the European Economic Community had worked so well that its members were more prosperous than many other European nations. Soon, other nations began to realize the advantage of the Common Market. Today the Common Market includes most of the important countries in Western Europe. It is helping Western Europe to again take its place as a leader among the industrial nations of the world.

67. From the passage we know the U.S. is much richer than ________ in resources.

A. any other Western European country B. any other country in Western Europe

they ________.

A. share their resources and produce more goods

B. can again take the place as a leader in the world

69. Which statement is true?

A. The Common Market is only a political association（协会）.

B. The Common Market is an economic and political association.

C. The Common Market is surely not an economic association.

D. The Common Market is neither an economic association nor a political one.

70. In order to ______ the Western European countries decided to cooperate.

Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.

In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.

In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers（摩天楼）and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs（郊区）of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.

But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller town and villages.

71. The underlined phrase “a residential area” means ________.

A. an area where people can buy things B. an area where people live

C. an area where people can do business D. an area near a city center

72. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?

A. Because they can live more comfortably there.

B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.

C. They do so mainly to find work.

D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.

73. In a residential area you can see ________.

A. rows of houses B. many offices and factories

C. a lot of factories and farms D. many houses with offices and factories

74. In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city__________.

A. and live there B. while living on the far away edge（边缘）of the city

C. but live in another city D. but live far away out of the city

75. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ______.

A. has been going on for more than 2,000 years B. will surely continue in the future

C. may not continue in the future D. has now stopped already
