Love Is Just a Thread(爱只是一根线)
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 36 tuition(学费)for my brother and me. They don't 37 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it's easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I 38 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 39 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 40 in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
41 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 42 .“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的),If life is a 43 ,then love should be a thread. It can 44 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's
really there. Love is 45 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next 46 .At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 47 ,every day in the morning and dusk(黄昏),my mother helped my father walk 48 on the country road. My father had never been so 49 .Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 51 in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like 52 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 53 from his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 54 ,I understand that love is just a 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I'm working harder than ever,” David says,“and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company,“so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said.“For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
56.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because _______.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time
D. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
57. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
58. According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?
A. Many workers don't like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.
D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
59. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _______.
A. saving worker's money
B. making workers more attractive
C. improving worker's feeling
D. making workers happier
B
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son, suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the soft and talk,” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds.“In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
60.“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son_______.
A. is always busy with his studies
B. doesn't want to be disturbed
C. keeps himself away from his parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
61. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.
A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly
C. they don't know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
62.Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
63. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

My bookshelves are full of dust—and with good reason.When it comes to cleaning that part of my home,I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance(回避反应症).
The thing is this:When I do set out to clean and re-organize my books,which seldom happens,I place myself into a really bad situation.No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust,and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall.Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these books have voices,and each wants to say its piece.“Remember me?I was given to you when you went intothe Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,”one whispers.Another says,“I was your first book of poems,given to you before you learned to love poetry.”And a third,“I was the book that made history so attrctive to you.”
Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books is the surprise—or better said,reunions—that occur. During my latest book cleaning adventure,I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.”Not an unusual title,but the words written on the first page made it very special“With Love from Mom and Dad,Christmas 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers(激光).It is filled with mathematical statements,and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,not long after the laser had been invented.I couldn’t understand a bit of it,but I did learn what “laser”meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section(横剖面)of my personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms.The books I’ve read—and kept—are not just old fiends.They’ re my resume.
64.What could be said about the author?
A.He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.
B.He considers his books treasured possessions.
C.He has made a lot of notes in his book.
D.He is a lover of sclence books.
65.By saying that his book have voices,the author means_________.
A.they bring back happy memories
B.they are recorded in human voice
C.they say a lot about human history
D.they offer good topic for discussion
66.What does the author enjoy most from re-orgazining his books?
A.Finding some missing books.
B.Putting books in good order.
C.Learning something new from the books,
D.Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
67.The underlined word “resume”in the last paragraph probably means_______.
A. personal history B. precious notes
C. good companion D. simple life forms
D
Spending beyond one’s means is becoming a national problem for Americans.Borrowing has become so easy that it takes great willpower for people to refuse it.“I received a number of gold MasterCard and gold Visa card offers in the mail during the past two months,”said one computer engineer at AT &T Bell Laboratories in Chicago.“I got three of them in one day last week.”
Lenders are providing easy credit(信贷)for borrowers.Many banks now offer every borrower a great variety of credit,a service once offered almost only to big companies.Norwest Bank Minneapolis offers lending programs for cars and boats that can cut monthly payments nearly in half .Carmakers,too,are lengthening easier terms.Ford Motor Credit states that 45 % of its recent lendings has been for sixty months,rather than the sixty-six-month period that was usual before.
The total consumer debt(债务)in the United States rose 73 percent between 1974 and 1984,as the debt for each man,woman,and child increased from $10,264 to $26,566.Huge debt now is present in our economy at all levels.As a nation,we are more than $7 trillion in debt,and the total keeps increasing astonishingly.
As we have overborrowed,so have we overspent.In late 1986,the share of after-tax income that Americans saved sank below 2 percent for a short time,less than half the figure at which we saved only 10 years ago.Americans now are buying from foreigners between about $50 and $100 billion more Mercedes and Toyotas, Paris fashions,and tours to Europe than the Boeing 747s, agriculture machinery , or Kansas wheat that the foreigners bought from America. The country could not produce and pay for all the things it wanted.
To make a long story short, we Americans have serious problems in keeping down spending and keeping up personal savings.It is high time for us American people to learn the basics of long-term money management.
68.According to the author, what is a main reason for Americans to overspend?
A.Americans buy a lot of foreign products.
B.It is easy for Americans to manage their debts.
C.Borrowing money has become a simple matter.
D.Americans have more extra money than before.
69.Ford Motor Credit lengthens 45%of its lending to 60 months in order to_______.
A.help more Americans to settle their debts
B.encourage people to buy foreign cars
C.make better use of its money
D.attract more customers
70.What does the author suggestas a way to deal with overborrowing?
A.Teaching people how to manage money.
B.Advising people on what to buy.
C.Limiting the use of credit cards.
D.Reducing average incomes.
71.Which of the following points does the author wish to make?
A.America should sell more of its products abroad.
B.A healthy society has to learn to 1ive within its means.
C.People’s income determines their money management.
D.Govemment should prevent people from overborrowing.

Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing houses as a child – pretending to be a grown-up like your parent? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults” (kid adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have man adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20 something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile-phone accessory (饰物). Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, even an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover came out in Britain. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.
“Kidults can be like vitamins (维生素) to society. Adults who treasure their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion (感情) may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said a professor in a Korean University. He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies and cartoon shows to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They cling to (舍不得放弃) childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
“So, they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalah said.
72. We can know from the passage that kidults are ____________.
A. children who can’t wait to grow up
B. grown-ups who hold on to child-like emotion.
C. people who enjoy playing sports.
D. young people who pretended to be grown-ups when young.
73. According to the passage, kidults would like to do the following except ________.
A. buy Hello Kitty mobile phone accessories.
B. read a children’s book on the subway
C. work in a busy and stressful city
D. collect toys they once played with
74. In the opinion of the professor in a Korean University, kidults are __________.
A. immature (不成熟的) and weak B. necessary to our society
C. looked down upon D. getting more and more
75. The main reason of the kidults culture lies in that ________.
A. some companies are taking advantage of it
B. modern life is stressful and hard.
C. some people like to stay young and energetic
D. some people wish to bridge the generation.
