Be 31 to complete the mile run within 10 minutes. We will practice it during gym class 32 the test.”‎ The class started complaining. My complaint was the 33 because I was the worst in my class in running. For me, it meant 34 for being the slowest in the class, as well as physical pain and too much 35 . Not to mention the fact that I would have no one to run with----all my good friends were much 36 than me.‎ I stood 37 at the school track. As my teacher explained the run, I made a desperate decision to 38 with my fastest friend Lily for as long as I could during the run.‎ The sharp whistle blew, and we 39 . Lily sped ahead of the entire class in three long strides(大步). Sucking in great amounts of air, I 40 right behind her. Every time I felt the urge to 41 , I pushed my body a bit farther. When I ‎ finally gave in to my self-request and slowed to a walk, I realized that I had 42 half of a mile running directly behind Lily.‎ Although I 43 the remaining half mile, I finished before some of my faster friends. 44 as I was at my unexpected skill, I couldn’t help thinking that it was accidental.

Well trained staff members.‎ C. Various less expensive medicines. ‎ D. Nursery for newly-born babies B ‎ One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date.‎ ‎ Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label(标签)?‎ When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent. Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.‎ To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.‎ ‎ In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly not the type of people you would want your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreigner down the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your son’s or daughter’s next employer.‎ ‎ The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.‎ ‎56. By mentioning a European and a Beijinger, the author tends to tell us _______.‎ A. it’s no long proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces ‎ B. the label of foreigners can never be removed C. most foreigners can do well in learning languages D. it’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad ‎57. What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?‎ A. In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago.‎ B. Today, more and more Asian travelers like to shop in Chicago.‎ C. There are more Asian immigrants today than in 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.‎ D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago. ‎ ‎58. Which is NOT the feature of the traditional foreigners according to the author?‎ A. They didn’t have good command of the local languages.‎ B. It’s hard for them to marry local people.‎ C. They rarely got familiar with the local customs and lifestyles. ‎ D. Most of them didn’t live at the bottom of the local society. ‎ ‎59. The underlined part in paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to_______. ‎ A. the term “foreigner” should be redefined B. the term “foreigner” should no longer be used C. there are no more foreigners in the world today D. the term “foreigner” is not proper to define people ‎ ‎60. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Globalization and mobility caused more and more immigrants.‎ B. The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.‎ C. America is a cultural melting pot.‎ D. Immigration is a global social phenomenon.‎ C The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850~1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”，almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.‎ The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom ‎ price.‎ Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit---Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, they would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.‎ ‎61. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. City and Countryside B. A New City in ‎Chicago C. The Invention of the Garden City ‎ D. A Famous Garden City in England ‎ ‎62. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?‎ A. Through his observation of the country life.‎ B. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.‎ C. By taking other people’s advice.‎ D. Through the combination of different ideas.‎ ‎63. According to Howard, garden cities should be built _______.‎ A. as far as possible from existing cities B. near cities where employment opportunities already existed C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed D. in the countryside where the land was cheap ‎ ‎64. The underlined phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.‎ A. making use of B. making comments on C. giving an explanation of D. giving a description of ‎ ‎65. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?‎ A. People would live and work in the same place.‎ B. Each one would continue to become larger.‎ C. Their number would continue to rise.‎ D. Each one would contain a certain type of business.‎ D ‎ Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.‎ ‎ The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in two thousand eight. At that time, the people were between the ‎ ages of eighteen and eighty-five.‎ ‎ The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.‎ ‎ Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.‎ ‎ Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.‎ ‎ The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National‎ ‎Academy of Sciences.‎ Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.‎ ‎ Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.‎ ‎ The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.‎ ‎ The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.‎ ‎66. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. The older a person is, the happier he grows.‎ ‎ B. The more lighthearted a person is, the happier he is.‎ ‎ C. The older a person is, the more clever he grows.‎ ‎ D. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels.‎ ‎67. We can learn from the research that _______.‎ A. only when people get older, will they feel happier B. older people usually have no worries in their life C. older people are more likely to be thankful in life D. stress levels among the youngest are the highest of all ‎ 68. According to the researchers, what is probably the reason why people grow ‎ ‎ happier when they get older?‎ ‎ A. When people get older, they can’t remember bad experiences.‎ ‎ B. When people get older, they have no young children to care about.‎ ‎ C. When people get older, they don’t care about their feelings.‎ ‎ D. When people get older, they learn to adjust their feelings.‎ ‎69. What would the writer probably deal with in next paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Advice to the young people on how to keep happy.‎ ‎ B. Why women at all ages are more sad, stressed and worried.‎ ‎ C. Advice to the old people on how to live longer.‎ ‎ D. Why people will grow happier with their ages. ‎ ‎70. What do you think the Proceedings of the National‎ ‎Academy of Sciences is?‎ ‎ A. A Gallup organization. B. A university in New York.‎ ‎ C. A popular science magazine. D.

Kathy Vitzthum thought many times about dropping out of her accounting program at Iowa State University: She had two children and a job at Electronic technology Corp. She’d only enrolled (报名) in the first place because her boss offered her a promotion if she took a few accounting courses.‎ Because she only had enough time to take one class at a time, it took her seven years to complete the coursework her boss had asked her to take on. She received the promotion as promised, and wasn’t planning to continue on to a degree. But a request from her father, who was dying from cancer, made her think twice. He said to her, “Kathy, why don’t you just keep going and get your degree?”‎ Before he passed away 11 years ago, he made her promise that she would finish it. And he made her a promise in turn: Vitzthum’s parents had agreed to give each of their children a valuable gift when they graduated from college, and Vitzthum was obsessed with an antique she’d come across and knew that she couldn’t afford. After she promised to graduate from college, her parents bought the antique for her. Her father told her, “I’m not going to be around when you graduate, so I’ll give this to you on loan now.”‎ After that, Vitzthum looked at that antique every day and remembered the promise she had made to her father. Despite an abustle life as wife, mother, and full-time employee, she’s taken one course every semester for the last 19 years. And finally, at the age of 48, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.‎ 71. Why did Kathy enroll in the first place to take her accounting program? (No more than 12 words)‎ 72.
