My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has!" Yeah, I 41 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 42 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 43 and how much they know about football apart from 44 goals. It seems funny that we are 45 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 46 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 47 .
We need these pleasures to 48 our lives. But that doesn’t 49 to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don’t judge a book by its cover." We 50 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 51 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 52 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep 53 , we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 54 meaning. If we don’t go deeper and are just satisfied with 55 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 56 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant (无知的) 57 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 58 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 59 us, we will finally prove how much we have 60 up, how much more sensible, mature , and intelligent we have become.
41. A. like B. agree C. hope D. think
42. A. ask B. tell C. teach D. doubt
43. A. skills B. fame C. team D. appearance
44. A. kicking B. hitting C. scoring D. controlling
45. A. thankful B. crazy C. curious D. anxious
46. A. uncertain B. unhappy C. displeased D. careful
47. A. aims B. qualities C. pleasures D. truths
48. A. keep up B. brighten up C. find out D. bring about
49. A. come B. increase C. amount D. rise
50. A. dared B. would C. could D. should
51. A. thinking B. character C. looks D. ability

What do a 15-year-old high school sophomore named Tanja Vogt and Thomas Paine have in common? The answer is that both inspired major changes in their societies by writing an essay.
In October 1988, Vogt---a student at West Milford High School in New Jersey---read an article in her local newspaper that disturbed her. The article reported that the Board of Education had decided to use polystyrene tray in the lunchroom because they were less expensive than paper.
Vogt knew from her science class that polystyrene can have harmful effects on the environment. In the first place, it is not biodegradable, meaning that it can’t be broken down by natural biological process. In addition, some polystyrene product release gases called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the air. Scientific evidence indicates that these CFCs break down the protective ozone layer(臭氧层) of the atmosphere.
Vogt decided to write a paper for her social studies class on the issue of polystyrene. Her teacher, Carl Stehle, read her paper to the class. After reminding students that Thomas Paine had had to persuade many hesitant colonists to support the American Revolution, Stehle challenged his class to do something about the polystyrene problem.
Vogt and her classmates immediately conducted a survey in the high school and middle school. They discovered a large majority of students said that they wanted switch back to paper goods in the dining-room. When they presented their findings to the Board of Education, the Board’s business administrator did a survey of his own, He found that 80 percent of the students in the two schools would be willing to pay an extra nickel to eat their lunch from paper trays. As a result, the Board voted in December to change to paper trays in all the township’s schools as of February 1, 19.

Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great success at reducing population growth—but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
Martine puts it down to, among others, soap operas and installment(分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970’s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television networks, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.
“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of population, they describe middle and upper class values — not many children and women working,” says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”
Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “This led to a great change in consumption(消费) patterns and consumption was incompatible(不相容的) with unlimited reproduction(生育),” says Martine.
65. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth _______.
A. by chance B. by careful family planning
C. by reducing it citizens D. by developing TV programs
66. Many other Third World countries _______.
A.don’t pay attention to the role of TV plays in family life
B.haven’t paid attention to the importance of birth control
C.would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate
D.haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population
67. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because _______.
A.they have gradually changed people’s way of life
B.they keep people sitting long hours watching TV
C.people are drawn to their attractive package
D.they popularize(推广) birth control measures
68. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?
A.The increase in birth rate will promote consumption.
B.The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
C.A country’s production is limited by its population growth.
D.Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are incompatible.
C

Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered something the map had not told us. It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical(垂直).We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands.
Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river. Happily we came downhill along its bank without having to cut our way. However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no way round it.
Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored goal, and cheerfully waving us on.
73.Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able to .
A.track animals to the river
B.put away the maps they had been using
C.come near to the river from a different direction
D.get down to the river without much difficulty.

C.it was the only possible way out of the mountains
D.it was a quicker way than going over the mountains
75.One reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that .
A.it was too hot to move quickly
B.there was no proper path
C.they all tried to go different ways
D.they could not follow the animal tracks

Since the early 1930s, Swiss banks had prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts. Over the years, they had successfully shouldered every challenge to this system by their own government who, in turn, had been frequently urged by foreign governments to reveal information about the financial affairs to certain account holders. The result of this policy of secrecy was that a kind of mystique(神秘)had grown up around Swiss banking. There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible(难以抵抗的)to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers’ unwillingness to ask inconvenient questions of account holders. Contributing to the mystique was the view that if this secrecy was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money, and the Swiss banking system would eventually collapse overnight.
To many, therefore, it came like a bolt out of the blue, when, in 1977, the Swiss banks announced they had signed an agreement with the Swiss National Bank (the Central Bank). The aim of the agreement was to prevent to improper use of the country’s bank secrecy laws, and its effect was to control strictly the system of secrecy.
The rules which the banks had agreed to observe made the opening of numbered accounts subject to much closer examination than before. The banks would be required, if necessary, to identify the origin of foreign money going into numbered and other accounts. The idea was to stop such accounts being used for dishonest purposes. Also they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax avoidance or from crime.
The agreement represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules. Although the banks agreed to end relations with clients(客户) whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not required to inform on a client to anyone, including the Swiss government. To some extent, therefore, the principle of secrecy had been kept.
77. Swiss banks took pride in___.
A.the number of their accounts
B.withholding client information
C.being mysterious to the outsiders
D.attracting wealthy foreign clients
78. According to the passage, the widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible to wealthy foreigners was ___ by banks themselves.
A. denied B. criticized C. reviewed D. defended
79. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that___.
A.complete changes had been introduced into Swiss banks
B.Swiss banks could no longer keep client information
C.changes in the bank policies had been somewhat superficial(表面的)
D.more changes need to be considered and made
80. The people are ______ when the Swiss Banks announced their agreement with the Swiss National Bank.
A. shocked B. pleased C. indifferent D. desperate

Tidy our dining hall in school
I hate the untidy dining hall in our school .Some people seem to treat it as if it were a rubbish area. They throw the leftover food about, on the table or on the ground. This makes the hall look unpleasant for us to come and eat there.
I have several solutions. First, get more people to form good habits by putting posters around the hall asking them to be more thoughtful of their behaviors and protect our environments. Second, make people pick up their own litter. We can do this by asking some students to walk around the hall and watch out for those that drop litter .We can make those who are found dropping litter stay behind and tidy up the hall after all the students have finished their meal .
I hope you find my ideas useful.
