阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life. My spirit sank. Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself. There were some complex feelings in my mind. I was frightened, nervous and lonely.
To make matters worse, I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me than I could bear. As a result, I was always feeling down during class time.
My teacher found me spiritless. One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life: we might suffer from mistakes, but it’s important to learn lessons from them. All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process. So keep up your spirit! At last, he added, “If you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!”
Warmth rushed through my soul. I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office.
With the teacher’s help, I eventually got over my depression. From then on, I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates. I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time. Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates.
Now faced with fierce competition, we all study strenuously, and every second counts. Moreover, there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us. I love my class; I love my classmates!
To be frank, I still have a thirst for my dream university, but I’m not afraid of failure because I can profit by it. With parents and teachers’ great expectation, I’m quite certain of my success and I’m sure I can fly high.

John Ruskin, the author of several famous books on art, was considered to be one of the highly respected art critics in Victorian England. His opinion was much sought after in the fields of painting, sculpture and architecture. However, when it came to reviewing works of modern art, he could react quite unexpectedly.
On one occasion, when visiting an art gallery in
When Whistler read the article he was very angry, and decided to charge Ruskin with libel. The case came to court in 1878. Whistler was asked by Ruskin’s lawyer how long he had taken to paint the picture. He replied “Two days”. The lawyer then asked him if it was reasonable to ask ￡200 for two days’ work. Whistler replied, “I do not ask ￡200 for two days’ work, but for the twenty years it has taken me to learn how to create such a painting.” He explained that the harmonious arrangement of light, form and color was the most significant element of his painting.
Many artists gave evidence in support of both Ruskin and Whistler, and in the end Whistler won his case. However, the judge awarded him damages of just one farthing, a quarter of a penny. He also ordered the court costs of ￡800 to be shared between the two men. Whereas Ruskin was quite wealthy and had no trouble paying his part of the legal costs, Whistler had to sell his house in order to settle this debt. Moneyless, he left

(D)
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social workers from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of?
The old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to put off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is fated to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or not depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
48. What does the author mainly discuss about in the passage?
A. The ways we help very old people.
B. The moral problems about helping the aged.
C. The values very old people hold.
D. The ways to take care of very old people.
49. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that very old people _________.
A. enjoy living with their relatives
B. would not like their rooms being cleaned
C. prefer personal freedom to cleanness
D. are able to keep their rooms very clean
50. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the talk to the old people
B. whether age is happy or not
C. the ability to have fun
D. one’s money or one’s health
51. What does the author think is doubtful?
A. The very old people can live a happy life.
B. Most doctors take on their responsibilities.
C. Trying every means possible to save the aged.
D. Accompanying the aged to walk after supper.
（E）
You hear the same complaint all the time: “My memory is terrible.” Is it all in the mind, or do real changes take place in the brain with the passing of time? The answer is that the brain’s cells, the neurons, decline and die with age. However, according to Professor Arthur Shimamura of the
There are three main ways in which mental function changes. The first concerns speed, such as how quickly you can react to fast-moving incidents on the road. Drivers in their late teen react quickly but often drive too fast, while the over
The fact that adults find it harder to learn musical instrument than children points to a second type of mental decline, the loss of learning ability with age. The part of the brain which is known to control new learning is particularly sensitive to the effects of aging. The means we have to depend more on diaries and other mental aids as we get older, take longer to learn a new language and are slower to master new things at work.
“Working memory” is the third brain function that is sensitive to the effects of aging. Absent-mindedness occurs at all ages because of imperfections in the working memory system.
For example, you may continually lose your glasses, or find yourself walking into a room of your house only to find that you cannot remember what you came for. Such absent-mindedness also occurs more often as we get older.
However, evidence also shows that the principle “use it or lose it” applies to the aging brain. Professor Shimamura studied a group of university professors who were still mentally active, and compared their performance on neuropsychological tests with that of others of their age group, as well as with younger people. He found that on several tests of memory, the mentally active professors in their
52. Memory gets worse as people grow older because _________.
A. the brain starts to produce too many neurons
B. cells in the brain stop the neurons from working
C. the brain’s neurons don’t work as well as before
D. when people get old, they complain too much
53. Which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the idea of the third paragraph?
A. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
B. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D. It’s never too old to learn.
54. We can conclude from Shimamura’s test on the professors that _________.
A. active minds might keep their memory better
B. memory can improve with the time passing on
C. all of the old people will suffer memory loss
D. the principle “use it or lose it” is obviously wrong
55. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. youth and aging
B. problems of getting old
C. secrets of a good memory
D. aging and mental ability

书面表达（范文）：
We often give money to the people in poor or disaster-stricken areas. Some students don’t think it a good way to help people there. However, some prefer helping the unfortunate with money.
In their opinion, money can be used to buy daily necessities and can help people rebuild their hometowns, while sometimes the things people there receive are not what they need actually. But some other students think that giving used clothing to the people in those areas is better. Many people, especially in rich areas and in cities, have much clothing they no longer like or need. By giving it away to the needy people we can make the best use of it. Besides, we are just students, and we have no incomes of our own.
Anyhow, no matter which way is considered better, we should try our best to help those who need help.
