( A )

   Beijing is the most beautiful city in China and Hong Kong the safest and second most beautiful, according to a study by the China Institute of City Competitiveness.

   The capital came in ahead of 558 other mainland cities and the two SARs（特別行政區(qū)），with a score of 0.756 points out of one for its impressive historical monuments and tourist attractions. Gui Qiangfang, the institute’s chairman, said：“The capital has a rich history and culture, which have been key to its development.”The assessment (判斷) took into consideration the cities’ urban design, architecture, culture and natural beauty.

Factors including the preservation of historical monuments, air quality, the transportation network, city life, public space and GDP were also considered. Hong Kong, which ranked second with 0.666 points, won praise for its skyscrapers, Victoria Harbor and the development of its service industry. Shenzhen took third spot with 0.664 points, scoring highly for its role as the pioneer of China’s opening up and reform policies. Shanghai finished fourth with 0.663 points for being the country’s financial center.

In the voting for the safest city, which assessed the social, economic and ecological（生態(tài)的）development, Hong Kong came first with 0.849 points. In this category, the cities’ crime rates, stability of financial politics, authority of the government, industrial accident rate, food safety and pollution situation, were considered. The institute said Hong Kong had low crime, and the number of work-related casualties（傷亡）is only 18.4 per 1,000 workers last year.

Shanghai ranked second in the safe city poll with 0.712 points, followed by Nanjing with 0.666 points. The institute said Shanghai is developing a harmonious society ahead of the 2010 World Expo.

( B.)

Important changes took place in the lives of women in the 19^th century. When men went out from their farms to cities to seek jobs in industry, peasant women had to take over the sowing, growing, and harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and raising children. When women also moved to the cities in search of work, they found that it was increasingly separated by sex and that employment opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the century, women in industry gathered mainly in cloth-making factories, though some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring jobs.

In the 1800s, service work also absorbed(吸納) a great number of women who arrived in the cities from the country. Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and upper-class homes; and as more and more men were drawn into industry, domestic service(家庭服務(wù)) became increasingly a female job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women, from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing. These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.

For thousands of years, when almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm(家庭作坊)，home and workplace had been the same, In these cases, women could do farm work or hand work, and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time. Along with the development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store, separated home from work. Faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace, western society began to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more energy than ever before.

60. We learn from the first paragraph that             had been done chiefly by men before they went to cities to seek jobs.

A.     mining, teaching, and nursing

B.      sewing clothes and mining

C.      sowing, growing, and harvesting

D.     caring for cattle and growing crops

61.  Domestic service became a female job mainly because          .

A. women took care of children

B. women took jobs as servants

C. men were employed in industry

D. men seldom worked in shops

62. We know from the passage that in the 1800s _________.

A.     more and more women began to work in domestic service

B.      women mainly worked as servants, nurses, and miners

C. service and industrial jobs absorbed more women than men

D. women enjoyed working as sellers, teachers, and miners

63.  This passage is about            in the 19th century.

       A. service and industry                           B. female and male jobs

       C. women and their work                           D. female jobs and the pay

                            (C )

I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was so naturalized to the place and to the manner of living that I could have but enjoyed the certainty that no savages (野人) would come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spend the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.

I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before.

At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than six or twenty years. How long he might live afterwards, I know not; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man the ill luck to come there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil.

My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.

As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.

Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.

I had also several tame sea-fowls（鳥）, whose names I know not, who I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be very well contented with the life I led, if it might but have been secured from the threat of the savages.

64. What does the passage mainly talk about?

   A. Robin Crusoe loved animals and savages very much.

   B. Robin Crusoe trained his animals in pleasant ways.

   C. The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.

   D. The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.

65. How many kinds of animals except humans are mentioned in this passage?

A. 3.                      B. 5.                     C. 7.                       D. 9.

66. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. savages.             B. Brazilians.      C. parrots.               D. islanders.

67. This passage is selected from a novel. The hero of this novel probably comes from ______.

A. Brazil              B. Britain              C. Australia             D. the U. S.

( D )

In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel(海峽) in an airplane. Today, modern aircrafts cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.

　　One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about airplane design.

The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette.

 Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs(海關(guān)) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not, “Have you anything to declare?” The officer demanded.

68. The flight for Bleriot was _____.

　　   A. a sad one　　　 　　　        B. a dangerous one

　　   C. his first one　　　　           D. an easy one

69. Hubert Latham wanted to fly across the Channel because _____.

　　   A. he thought he could manage it easily

　　   B. he wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel

　　   C. he knew he only had a year to live

　　   D. he had always been interested in flying

　　70. This text tells us that Latham _____.

　　   A. became a pilot on the doctor’s advice

　　   B. was born in France and later became an English citizen

　　   C. managed to fly across the English Channel

　　   D. was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking

   A few years ago, a pilot had to have perfect eyesight and a college degree if he or she wanted to land a job with an American airline. ____71____

   Airlines must hire up 62,000 new pilots in the decades. But qualified pilots are few and far between in the United States. ___72_____ At the same time, 12 to 15 foreign countries are recruiting(招募) American pilots.

   As a result, pilots are earning attracting salaries. The going rate for skilled pilots is well over $90,000 a year. Some pilots can earn about $160,000 plus free housing working for foreign airlines.

   _____73____ They fear the number of crashes will go up quickly. Each year, more and more pilots with less than 2,000 hours of experience are being hired. Airlines are also bringing on board many more pilots who are older than 50, although law requires pilot to retire at 60.

   Being an airline pilot is a difficult job that requires people to make life and death decisions under pressure. _____74_____

   The military is also having a hard time keeping pilots. Air Force pilots must commit to spending at least six years in the Air Force. The Air Force invests millions of dollars to train each pilot, so it doesn’t want to lose them.

   Experts say this problem is going to get a lot worse. Congress may establish a commission(a research group) to study the country’s pilot needs. ____75_______

A.     In the meantime, salaries of pilots will continue to rise and the number of crashes may keep pace.

B.      But today, airlines have quitted those requirements because they can’t find enough qualified pilots.

C.      Because of the shortage, some people say unqualified pilots are being allowed to fly planes.

D.     Every year there are more planes being flown.

E.      Some pilots crack under the pressure.

F.      A few years later, airlines can’t find qualified pilots.

G.     However, every year there are less planes being flown.
