This year, the most important event since World War II took place in Europe--- the start of the single European currency.
For 40 years, Western European countries have been slowly changing their political and economic structures. Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single united economy. Now this process has already completed. On 1 January 1999, member countries of the European Union (EU) linked their economies together. In 2002, their national currencies were replaced by a single, EU-wide currency, the “Euro”.
The single currency has taken a long time to arrive. It was first considered over twelve years ago, when the EU set up the single market. This aimed to improve EU competitiveness in world markets by allowing for the free movement of people and goods throughout the Union. A single currency was accepted as the logical extension to removal of these trade barriers.
56. The single currency is __________.
A. earlier than the single market.
B. as early as the single market.
C. later than the single market.
D. as late as the single market.
57. What does the underlined “This” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. setting up the single market
B. the European Union
C. the Euro
D. the European countries
58. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People in the EU are able to move freely throughout the union now.
B. Setting up the single market is the most important event in Europe after World War II.
C. The Euro will take the place of currencies of the member countries in the EU.
D. The USA is not a member of the EU.
59. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Euro
B. The EU
C. The Single Market
D. How to Use the Euro

In car of normal design, the petrol system is made up of three main parts: storage tank, a pump and a carburetor (化油器).
The petrol tank is fitted at the back of the car where it is out of the way, yet easily filled at a gas station. Tanks are in various capacity but they usually hold enough petrol for 250-300 miles running. Because the tank is at the opposite end of the car from carburetor, which is fitted high up on the engine, a pump is needed to draw the petrol from one to the other, as it is from the carburetor that the petrol is finally fed into the engine. Pumps can be of two kinds: electrically operated or mechanically driven from the engine.

One summer day my son Robert, then five years old, took me by the hand and asked me to go outside with him. Holding on tightly, he carefully walked around the house with me, looking at doors and windows and shaking his head. There was something he didn’t understand.
“Mummy,” He finally asked, pressing my hand with his warm, chubby fingers, “is our home broken?”
His words shot through my body, altering every protective instinct (本能), activating （激活） my private defense system, the one I hold to ward off attack against women and children.
“Oh, Robbie,” I answered, hugging him, “did someone tell you that we have a broken home?”
“Yes,” he said sweetly. “But it doesn’t look broken!” “It’s not,” I assured him. “Our house is not broken and neither are we.”
I explained that “broken” is some people’s way of describing a home with only one parent, usually the mother. Sometimes there was only one parent because of divorce, like us. “There are still lots of homes like ours. And they are still homes.”
Robbie looked relieved and went to play with his friends. I stood there, shaking with anger.
What a way to put down a little kid and me, too, I thought. I supported my three children, fed and clothed them. I was there for them emotionally and physically. I managed to keep up payments on the house. Although we struggled financially, we were happy and loving. What was “broken” about us?

A. His house
B. His mother and father
C. His mother and himself
D. Women and children
65. According to this excerpt, which of the following is the best meaning for the phrase “to ward off”?

A. Whole and broken.
B. Innocent and experienced.
C. Angry and supportive.

It is not surprising that modern children tend to look blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to “go to work and make a living”. The problem is that they can’t visualize what work is in America.
Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to make something or fix something. The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a buggy or built a table.
When a child asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” his father could answer in terms that a child could come to understand. “I fix steam engines.” “I make horse collars.”
Well, a few fathers still fix engines and build things, but most do not. Nowadays, most fathers sit in glass buildings performing tasks that are absolutely incomprehensible to children. The answer they give when asked, “What kind of work do you do, Daddy?” are likely to be confusing to a child.
“I sell space.” “I do market research.” “I am a system analyst.” “I am in public relations.” “I am a data processor.” Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly envision anyone analyzing a system or researching a market?
72. Which of the following does NOT explain why “modern children tend to look blank and dispirited”?
A. They can not mentally picture what work is.
B. Modern work often may not look like anything.
C. A child often can not watch the work being done.
D. Children don’t want to earn their own livings.
73. Why did the author use the underlined word envision in the last sentence.
A. As evidence that no one can see a system.
B. To bring the reader back to the idea in the first paragraph.
C. To emphasize (强调) how incomprehensible modern jobs are.
D. To contrast with the idea of nonsense.
74. The author’s main purpose in writing the article is to __________.
A. give facts about jobs
B. state an opinion about jobs
C. pose questions about work
D. give statistics about work
75. According to the passage, the author believes that the nature of work has become too__________.
A. impersonal
B. visual
C. concrete
D. abstract
