A
It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one
passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man
coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of
the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”
“To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard
that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three
dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But
suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of
the big city.
After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. “You should pay
me fifteen dollars,” the car driver said to the young man. “What! Fifteen
dollars? Do you think I’m a fool? Only last week I took a car from the
railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen
dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip. I won’t pay you one
dollar more than I paid to the other car driver last week.”
56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The young man went past the railway station.
B. The young man was working in the railway station
C. The young man had just got off a train.
D. The young man was waiting for his friend there.
57. What do you think of the car driver?
A. He was a nice and clever man. B. He liked to work very hard.
C. He was good at driving D. He was not an honest person.
58. From the passage we know that the young man__________.
A. knew clearly how far it was from the station to the hotel
B. had been to the hotel several times
C. didn’t want to stay in this city
D. must be a stranger and didn’t know the city very well
59. The driver took the passenger through many streets so as to_________.

Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words
at the other, and a fight (打架) began.
What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the
disputants (争执者) sit down with peer mediators. Peer mediators are students
with special training (训练) in this kind of problems.
Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are
some of the ways they use:
1. Put what you think clearly but don’t say any­thing to hurt the other.
Begin with “I feel…” instead of “You always…”
2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don’t stop the
other person’s words.
3. Keep looking at the other person’s eyes when he or she talks.
4. Try to see the other person’s side of the prob­lem.
5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You are foolish (愚蠢)” makes
the talk difficult.
6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy.
Peer mediators never decide the result or the win­ner. They don’t decide
who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they help the two students to find
their own “win-win” result. A “win-win” result can make every­one feel
good.
Peer mediators’ work is often successful just be­cause it gets people to
talk to each other. And getting people to talk to each other is the first
step in finding a “win-win” result.
60. What can be done when there is a fight at school?
A. The peer mediators and the disputants talk to­gether.
B. The peer mediators decide the winner.
C. The students themselves decide who is the win­ner.
D. The two students sit down and listen to the peer mediators.
61. Peer mediators’ work is _____.
A. to give lessons to disputants
B. to help find a way to make both sides happy
C. to find out who starts a quarrel
D. to give students some special training
62. What should you do when the other person is speaking?
A. Try to tell him or her what you think.
B. Think who is right and who is wrong.
C. Listen carefully and look at his or her eyes all the time.
D. Ask the peer mediators as many questions as possible.
63. During the talk, if you say “You are lazy” or “I feel angry”, _____.
A. the other person will know he or she is wrong
B. the other person will understand you better
C. it’s easy for you to decide who is right
D. it’s hard for you to get a “win-win” result

Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit to Monaco, too.
Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a
separate principality (大公国)—though it is surrounded by its great
neighbour.
Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a
family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italian, however,
soon came to protect it one after another until 1861, when it became its
own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two
cities, Monaco, where the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo,
which is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year, about half a million
people come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and
order is kept by the French police, and the French stand for it in its
foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the franc, too.
68. Which of the following maps shows the right position of Monaco and its
neighbouring countries? (Mc=Monaco, Fr==France, I=Italy, Md=Mediterranean)
69. Monaco has a population of ____.
A. nearly 25 thousand B. no more than 20 thousand
C. about 12,500 thousand D. a little over 20 thousand
70. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The national income of Monaco must be very little.
B. Monaco isn’t a completely independent country.
C. A principality is a country ruled by foreigners.
D. Monaco belongs to France since law and order is kept by the French
police.
71. Now the head of the government of Monaco is ____.
A. an Italian B. a French C. a prince D. a
president

The first Europeans came to America in 1492 with Christopher Columbus.
Since that time people have come to America from all over the world, from
Europe, Africa, and Asia, and they have brought their music with them.
This mixing of people and music has created American music.
Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing,
drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs remind us of our
childhood or youth. Others remind of the people we love. Many important
occasions, like weddings and funerals have special music. Every nation has
a national song like the American “The Star-Spangled Banner.” In the U.S,
high schools and colleges have school songs too.
Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and
feelings of its people. As the years pass, the music grows and changes.
Modem science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radio,
movies, electric instruments, tape recorders, and videos have changed the
way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an
important form of international communication.
American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known
around the world. Music is one of America’s most important exports. It
brings the people of the world together. Even when people cannot
understand the same language, they can share the same music. Many people
learn and practice English by singing songs, understanding American music
can help you understand American people. “Put a dime(10 cents) in the juke
box(自动点唱机), baby.” Let’s listen to the music!
72. The article mainly tells us about_____.
A. how American music developed
B. when American music developed
C. what American music is
D. why American music is so popular
73. From the text we know that_____.
A. American music has spread all over the world
B. American music began in the 1550s
C. American music is special
D. American music has changed modern science in the US
74. The last paragraph probably means that_____.
A. American music is very popular
B. American music is known by people all over the world
C. American music can help us understand American people, their
history and culture
D. American music is important in our lives
75. American music is ______.
A. for dancing, drinking eating loving and thinking
B. a mixture of people and music from all over the world
C. an important form of international communication
D. a part of the history of the world

VI. 书面表达答案：
One possible version:
My Thanksgiving Day activities are very different from my normal
weekly activities. First of all, I am able to sleep later. I usually wake
up around 8:30. Then I always go downstairs and help my mother and my
sister cook. We often cook until 3:00 in the afternoon. Sometimes I take a
break from the kitchen to watch the football game on TV. We seldom eat
before 3:00. Between 3:00 and 4:00, the whole family gather around the
table to eat . Afterwards, we clean up until about 5:30 or 6:00. When the
kitchen is clean, we go outside and play games until about 8:00. Then we
come back in to eat apple pie and pumpkin pie. Our relatives usually leave
by 10:00. I never go to bed before 11:30 on Thanksgiving Day.
