American writers of children’s books is Alford Strong, or Doctor strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called Doctor Strong

forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the
world.

Doctor’s strong books are known for their easy
use of the words and colorful,
hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary
creatures, The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.
The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the show. It included about three hundred Doctor
Strong’s original drawings and some of his writings.
Most of Doctor
Strong’s books, although written in
a funny way, have serious
messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of
pollution. He discusses the arm
race in The Butter Battle Book,
written in nineteen eighty-four.
Doctor Strong is
almost eighty-four old now. He says
he never plans to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest
people of all ages. He says he uses

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a
restaurant in New York City
when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of
their conversation. At one point
the woman asked：“So, how have
you been? ” And the boy, who could
not have been more than seven or eight years old, replied. “Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed
lately. ”
This incident stuck in my mind because it
confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were
“depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has
increased steadily in recent years.
Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more
like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say
but it is certainly different.
Childhood as it once was no longer exists, Why?
Human development is based not only on innate（天生的） biological states, but also on patterns of access（通路） to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another
usually includes learning the secrets of the new status（現(xiàn)狀）. Children have always been taught adult
secrets, but slowly and in stages： traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep
hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation（提示） machine has been installed in 98percent of
American homes. It is called
television. Television passes
information, and indiscriminately（不加區(qū)分地）, to
all viewers alike. Unable to resist
the temptation, many children turn
their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over
the social information to which children have access. Reading
and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and
practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex
materials.
64．According to the author, feeling depressed is ______.
A．a(chǎn) sure sign of a psychological problem in a child
B．something hardly to
be expected in a young child
C．a(chǎn)n inevitable stage
of children's mental development
D．a(chǎn) mental scale present in all humans, including children
65．Traditionally,
a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ______.
A．through contact with
society B．gradually and under
guidance
C．naturally and by
biological instinct D．through exposure to
social information
66．The phenomenon（現(xiàn)象） that today's children seem adultlike is attributed（歸因于） by the author to _______.
A．the widespread
influence of television
B．the poor arrangement
of teaching content
C．the fast pace of human intellectual（智力的） development
D．the constantly rising
standard of living
67．Why is the author in favor of communication through print
for children?
A．It enables children
to gain more social information.
B．It develops
children's interest in reading and writing.
C．It helps children to
memorize and practice more.
D．It can control what
children are to learn.
68．What does the author think of the change in today's
children?
A．He feels amused by
children's premature（過早的）
behavior.
B．He thinks it is a
phenomenon worthy of note.
C．He considers it a positive
development.
D．He seems to be upset
about it.

Millions of Americans run to the bank or visit
ATM when they need cash. They use
credit cards when they want to buy clothes, VCRs, or television sets.
But there is an underclass---people with low
incomes and no credit history---who visit their neighborhood pawnshops (當(dāng)鋪) when they need cash or a loan (貸款).
About 20 percent of the US population
has no bank account. More than half
of this group don’t have credit cards and cannot get bank loans.
“These people are borrowing an average of
$50, ” said John P. Caskey of Swarthmore College
in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
“If you add up in terms of how much dollar value pawnshops provide, they don’t look very important. If you add up how much of the population
they serve or the number of loans they make, they are important. ”
Because they make loans, pawnshops are a type of bank, often calling themselves “the bank of
the little people. ”
Caskey and Swarthmore student Brian Zidmund in
1989 looked at the importance of pawnshops in the US economy---the first serious
study of the subject since the 1930s.
Their conclusion： pawnshops are the consumer’s lender of last
resort (最后的手段).
Pawnshop customers typically cannot get credit
at banks. They have poor credit
records, low and unstable
incomes, or cannot maintain
positive bank account balances.
Typically,
pawnshop customers borrow relatively small amounts that traditional
lenders are unwilling or unable to provide on a secured basis.
“If
you look at total consumer credit,
the amounts provided by pawnshops remain small, ” Caskey said. “They are
lending mainly to low-income people.
In terms of the population they serve, they’re really important. ”
In 1988,
there were about 6, 900 pawnshops in the United States---one for every two
commercial banks. They made about
35 million loans, providing 1
percent of the nation’s consumer credit.
69．The best title for the passage would be ____.
A．Credit Cards for the
Poor B．Banks for the Poor
C．Pawnshops vs. Banks D．Commercial Banks
70．What do the underclass people do when they need cash?
A．They go to local
banks for help. B．They apply for credit
cards.
C．They ask for a loan
from large banks. D．They apply for a loan
in pawnshops.
71．What can we learn about pawnshops?
A．Poor people come to
pawnshops as their last resort.
B．Most people prefer
pawnshops for their need of cash.
C．Pawnshops are an
important part of the state economy.
D．Pawnshops are not
important because they make up only 1 percent of the nation’s
consumer
credit.
72．According to John P. Caskey, pawnshops are important because ____.
A．they provide great
dollar value to the poor
B．they make big loans
to a lot of people
C．they are serving the
majority of the population
D．they make a large
number of loans to the poor

When Is “Old” Old?
I remember when I first came to China in 1990, a student wrote in his essay at the
beginning of a new term, “I was
surprised to find that our English teacher is an old lady. ” At the time I was
also surprised, because I had never
thought of myself as old. When my students and I cross the street
together, they want to take my arm
to help me. While I am touched by
their concern, I don’t really feel
that I need their help-I am probably just too independent（自立的）.
Perhaps the day will come when they keep me from a serious fall, and then I’ll appreciate them in a way I
haven’t so far.
One of the many things we value in China is the
opportunity to spend time with our students and other young people. We are sure it keeps us younger. Isn’t there a saying that “Youth isn’t
so much a period of time as a state of mind”? If a person is enthusiastic（激情的）about his work, curious about the world and blessed with
younger friends, he will almost
certainly feel young. Health is
important too, of course, so I take care of my health. Riding a tricycle（三輪） is a wonderful way to exercise. An active state of mind plus good health
makes for a youthful outlook. My Chinese friends, am I right?
73．What was the author surprised at? ___________
A．The first she came to
China. B．A student wrote in
his composition.
C．Her Chinese students. D．The other English
teacher.
74．Which of the following isn’t true according to the passage?
__________
A．The author had never thought of herself as old.．
B．Her students want to
take her arm to help her when she cross the street.
C．The author feels that
she needs their help.
D．The author is
probably just too independent.
75．Youth is ___________.
A．a(chǎn)ge B．the younger C．time D．a(chǎn) state of mind

The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin Because Adolf Hitler
childishly insisted that his performance were members of a “master piece”. I wasn’t too worried about this. I’m trained , sweated myself for 6 years, with the Games in mind. On my way there
all I could think about was taking home one or two of those two medals. I had my eyes especially on the running
broad jump. A year before, as a
sophomore, I’d set the world’s
record of 26 feet 8.25 inches.
Nearly everyone expected me to win this event. However,
to my surprise, when the
time came for the broad-jump trials,
a tall German named Luz Long hit the pit at almost 26 feet on his
practice leaps! And Hitler hoped to win the jump with him. If Long win, it would add some new support to the
Nazis’ “master piece” theory. Angry
about Hitler’s ways, I determined
to go and really show Der Fuhrer and his “master race” Who was superior and who
wasn’t. An angry athlete is an athlete who will make
mistakes. I was no exception. On
the first two of my three qualified jumps,
I committed two fouls. “Did
I come 3, 000 miles for this? ” I thought bitterly. Walking from the pit, I kicked angrily at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my
shoulder. I turned to look into the
friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper, who had easily qualified for the finals
on his first attempt. He offered me
a firm handshake. “Jesse Owens, I am Luz Long, I don’t think we have met. ” He spoke
English well, though with a German
twist to it. “Glad to meet you. ” I sad. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, How are you? ” “I am fine.
The question is： how are you? ” “What do you mean? ” I asked. “Something must be eating you. ” He said, “You should be able to qualify with your
eyes closed.” “Believe me, I know it. ” I told him- and it felt
good to say that to someone. 1．What should be the
best title for this passage?
(Please answer within 10 words. ) _____________________________________________________________.
2．Translate the
underlined sentence into Chinese. _________________________________________________________________.
3．What did Luz Long really mean by saying “ something must be
eating you”? (Please answer within

gold medals? (Please answer within

imply? (Please answer within 20

we go to kindergarten and primary school. Then we attend junior middle school and
senior middle school when we become teenagers. As adults, we go to universities. I t seems that the learning process
comes to an end after we find a job.
However, that is not true. As a well-known
Chinese proverb says, there are no
limits to learning. That is
especially true nowadays. Knowledge
is updated rapidly and new techniques are created all the time. For example, computers were far more a must for
employees 10 years ago. But today a
great majority of our work is done on them-from on-the-job training to
self-study, people today have
various ways of learning. Life long learning is a good trend. Only through learning can we know what
we don’t know. Learning makes us
intellectual and knowledgeable. 聽力資料： Text1： W：Oh no. It’s four o’clock already and I haven’t
