阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
(A)
Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反复试验）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected .
A．to get into trouble B．to play better than he did
C．people to stop and listen to him D．to be told to move somewhere else
42．The first man who gave him money .
A．was too busy to stop B．wanted to get rid of him
C．dropped the money by mistake D．did not want to attract attention
43．He gradually became confident that day because .
A．nobody looked at him B．he played the violin very well
C．people continued to give him money D．he earned a lot of money
44．On the following days, he .
A．made a lot of mistakes B．learned how to do the job better
C．get better at playing the violin D．did not make so much money
45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to .
A．play in different streets B．leave all the money in the hat
C．empty the hat at regular times D．leave a small amount of money in the hat

Giving Back
Fair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong x>n one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. "No one would have known," said Wobum's instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: "The prize wasn't ours to take."
Coin Stars
"College students are lazy, but they also want to help," says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her " Change for Change" effort has collected $40,000 for charities 慈善机构) , which were decided upon by students.

Vienna ---In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries（OPEC）will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.
The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president, Charkid Kheria of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota increases were not necessary.
The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of Iraq’s output stop was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized（使…动摇）, a suitable response could be made.
Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal.（恢复）
Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude oil selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
OPEC wants the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that reduced 2.5 million barrels（桶）per day off quotas （配额）.
51. Iraq made the decision to stop oil deliveries because ___________.
A. oil price is too low in international market.
B. The U.N. Secretary Council has decided to shorten the time of extension of the oil-for-food programme
C. Many oil wells were destroyed during the war in the late 1980s
D. It couldn’t get enough money to develop its economy
52. The attitude the E.U. Commission took towards Iraq’s output stop is ________.
A. active B. concerned C. cold D. surprised
53. The underlined words “ The organization” here refers to ________.
A. OPEC B. the E.U. Commission C. Vienna D. WTO
54. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. the oil prices in the world were stable though Iraq has stopped oil deliveries
B. OPEC has controlled the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars
C. OPEC will not increase oil production to make up the shortfall that caused by Iraq
D. Oil is connected with people’s daily life
55. The 11 oil ministers decided to meet on July 3 so that _________.
A. they can persuade Iraq to continue oil production
B. they can have a talk with the U.N. Security Council
C. they can have a discussion about the effects of Iraq’s temporary output stop
D. they can make up their minds to increase oil production
第二节 信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
The following people are expressing their thoughts (56--60) to show their concern for food, environment and so on．After that are pieces of related information (A--F) ．Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---5 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet．There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
56．How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were． Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
57．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
58．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
59．I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
60．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

62．请根据以下任务说明和写作要求，写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.
As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement．
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples，with infant children, are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep of a three-day vacation. We don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

The Possible Version:
A fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equaling happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．And the real happiness always contains some pain .In the other hand, true happiness has nothing to do with fun. All those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
I have a bitter experience. When I was a child, I lived a poor life, and I had a happy and meaningful life in my childhood. And my parents were always respecting each other. And now we have some money, and our life has improved a lot. To tell the truth, it is a good thing. Unfortunately, My father always goes out and takes part in the gambling activities. And my mother sometimes quarrels with my father. I am extremely unhappy about it. I think money doesn’t equal happiness. And pain-free lifestyle also doesn’t equal happiness. The real happiness is that everyone loves each other, and does everything useful for our society. Most of my classmates support me. But some of them think money is everything. In my opinion, we can’t do things without money. But money can’t take the place of everything, such as your life, your time and your happiness.

（Text 1）
Li Hua: What are you doing, Mum?
Mum: I’m getting something ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Tree-planting Day.
Li Hua: Tree-planting Day? What do people do on this day, Mum?
Mum: Many, many people will go and plant trees.
Li Hua: Why do they do that?
Mum: To make the earth more beautiful. And to make our life better.
Li Hua: But I often see people on TV cut down many big trees. Why do they do that, Mum?
Mum: Hm… to make paper, houses, and… to make our life better.
Li Hua: To make our life better, too? I just don’t understand. Mum, why do many people go and plant trees on the same day?
Mum: Oh, my dear son. It’s hard to explain to you. When you grow up, you will understand. Just remember trees are very important to us.
（Text 2）
M: Mary, do you really like London? It must be very different from your home town.
W: Well, yes, it is. I come from a small town, much smaller than London. You come from Manchester, a much bigger town than mine, so life in London isn’t very different for you.
M: Yes. I suppose it must be quite different in a small town. But do you like living and working here? Isn’t it more difficult to get from your to your office?
W: Oh, yes. It’s easier at home. There I can alwa home ys go to work on foot; but in London I have to go by Underground. The Underground is the quickiest way of all; but it’s also the dearest.
M: I usually go by bus. It’s cheaper than the Underground for me. And it’s more interesting to look out of the window of a London bus. It is certainly the cheapest way to see the most interesting things in London.
（Text 3）
M: What’s the matter, Anne? Do you have a problem?
W: Yes. I have a chance to get another job and I don’t know what to do.
M: If it’s a better job than you have now, take it. That’s my advice.
W: It isn’t as easy as that, Robert. I like the job I have now very much. The people in my office are very nice and my work is interesting.
M: What about the salary? Would you get more money? That could effect me if I had to make a choice.
W: Yes, the salary is better. If I accept the job, I’ll get more money right away. What should I do? I have to let them know my decision today.
M: You’ll just have to decide for yourself, Anne. I’ll be anxious to know what you do. I’d like to try my luck, if you decide not to take it.
(Text 4）
M：Jane, I hear that you are leaving school now. What do you want to do? Have you made up your mind yet?
W：No, not yet. But I think I’m going to take up singing.
M：Any special reasons?
W：Yes. It’s because I am good at singing songs. All my classmates say so. Besides, singing is quite interesting and you meet a lot of people.
M：And you will have to please them too.
W：Well，you do in any job, don’t you?
M：And what do your parents think about it?
W：They don’t quite agree to my idea. That’s the only trouble.
M：Have they got any other plans for you, then?
W：Yes, um…they try to send me to art college because they want me to be an actress.
M：Then what will you do?
W：Er…I haven’t decided yet. But I usually get my own way in the end.
（Text 5）
There’s a holiday next week and I can’t decide what to do. I have a lot of work to do at home,
and this would be a good chance to do it. But I’d rather not spend the holiday that way. I can work
at home all the rest of the year.
Last year I went north to the mountains. Everything was beautiful, but it is too cold this time
of year. And it’s really too far to go for a short holiday. I have decided that this is not a good time
to go to the mountains. But I do want to go someplace.
Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach. I like to go for walks along the
seashore in the warm sunshine and watch the water. It’s only about eighty miles and I could get
there in about two hours. After thinking it over, I’m sure that this is a better time for the seashore
than the mountains. I guess I’ ll plan to go to the beach next week.
Oh, here’s a letter from Jim. He says he is going to his house in the mountains for the holiday,
and he wants me to go with him. After giving it some more thought, I guess it wasn’t really too
cold last year, and perhaps it might rain at the seashore and then I wouldn’t enjoy it at all. The
mountains are only 300 miles away. I think I’ll write to Jim right now and tell him I’ll go with
him.

If there is time for discussion of questions at the end of a class, take the chance to ask further explanations of anything that was not immediately clear. You are unlikely to be the only one who does not understand. Your questions will therefore help others and will encourage them to answer questions, and you should learn from all teacher’s replies.
Questions not only help students to learn but also show interest in the subject, and this makes the teacher’s work more rewarding. Furthermore, questions should help the teacher first to recognize things that students find difficult and then to give better lessons. More questions will come to mind during your further studies. Try to find the answers before the next class. This will help you to learn.
