26、黑。（每题2分，共15题，满分30分）AOutside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to cl
27、ean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly，the old ladys work was interrupted by the cackling of her hena signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as
28、 she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proofthe children were sure that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs.There, s
29、tanding on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.“We have to go and help her, ”whispered Amy.“What if it is a trick？”replied Ben.“Dont be silly,
30、Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already，”reasoned Meg. “Come on Amy, lets go. ”The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old ladys face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was
31、definitely broken. “Go and get Dad，” Amy yelled to her brother. “Tell him about the accident.”The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.56. Why were the children hiding in the tree?A. T

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.BYou might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your finge
35、rtips. You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands. Doctors say that body touch is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin (血红蛋白) a type of matter that produces the red color in
36、blood increases greatly. This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. They became sad and negative. Studies showed the monkeys were more probable to b
37、ecome ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers. Human babies react in much the same way. Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and we
38、re not kept as clean . The reason , he concluded , was that they often had touches from nurses. Experiments show that most people like being touched. And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients fear of treatment. Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. But even if we d
39、ont like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of “happy brain” chemicals. So lets have a big smile and dont forget to keep in touch.65. According to the passage, _.A. human brains need oxygen and blood supply now and thenB. touches fr
40、om doctors and nurses have nothing to do with treatmentC. new-born baby monkeys should stay away from their mothersD. not all the people like being touched66. The word “benefits” in the second paragraph probably means _.A. to be useful or helpful B. to get something useful or helpfulC. to be ill D.
41、to be hurt67. The best title for the passage might be _.A. Why People Touch B. Smile and Touch C. Wonders of Touch D. Touch or NotCOn my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise, I didntget a lot of interesting mail, so I was intrigued when seeing a letter on my desk one mor
42、ning. The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper, the Toledo Blade. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up with the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inc
43、h), his words could not have been more exciting. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted whether I could had be a writer, I would reread Dons note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encourag
44、ing word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”Why are positive and enthusiastic note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many people away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misun
45、derstood, sound old-fashioned or flattering. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, appreciated, and treasured. What does it take to write notes that
46、lift spirits and warm hearts? Perhaps just a desire and a willingness to express our appreciation. It is difficult to be voluntary, however, when you have to hunt for letter writing materials; so, keep paper, envelopes, and stamps close at hand, even when you travel. Fancy stationery is not necessar
47、y; its the thought that counts. So, who deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or your doctor? You do not need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a life changing event, the anniversary of a special event you shared, a birthday,
48、or holiday, and do not hold back your praise. Such words as: “greatest,” “smartest,” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled. 63. On seeing the letter on the desk, the author felt _.A.
49、 annoyed B. curious C. doubtful D. shocked64. According to the author, many people dont write upbeat notes mainly because they are _.A. afraid of being out of date B. too shy to flatter othersC. prepared to make phone calls D. too concerned about what others think65. It can be learned from the last
50、paragraph that _. A. praises often run ahead of reality B. praises help in pursuing a dreamC. parents often write upbeat notes D. parents expect childrens success 66. What might be the suitable title for the passage? A. The Power of a Positive Note B. Notes Help to Fulfill DreamsC. The Necessity of
51、Writing Notes D. Note or Phone, Your Own Choice DHomeownership has let us down. For generations, Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good. Homeownership could even save babies, save children, save families and save America. A house with a lawn and a fence wasnt just a nice place to
52、 live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to transform a nation. No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy.But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: Indeed, easy lending stimu
53、lated by the love of homeownership may have aroused the financial crisis. Housing remains a drag on the economy. Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the last month, worsening fears of a double. And all that is just an obvious housing dream and what happened when it popped. The real story i
54、s deeper and darker still.For the better part of a century, politics, industry and culture lined up to create the idea of buying a house. Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades. Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home, we have ignored the downsides. And we ignored longer-term phen
55、omena too. Homeownership contributed to the building out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods. It fed Americas overuse of energy and oil. It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another. Perhaps worst of all, it helped us become casually self-cheating: By t
56、elling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores, we avoided dealing with these frightening issues.Now, as the U.S. recovers from the biggest housing bust（破产）since the Great Depression, it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of h
57、omeownership areand how much money we want to spend chasing them. Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs.67. Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses because _.A. owning a home was undoubtedly good B. homeownership was unconquerable C.
58、 houses could save families and America D. homeownership could shape a country68.

It can be inferred from Para. 3 that _.A. it is hard for Americans to get a home loanB. it is the way to wealth to have ones own houseC. many Americans choose to live out of urban areasD. homeownership has made many people out of work70.

He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picassos paintings are rich, soft, colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow
62、 us to _ for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “ What does he see and makes him paint like that ?”And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see. Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed
63、 to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye see. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.71. What is the best

Personally speaking, I strongly believe that honesty is the most important among dozens of good qualities.There is a proverb
75、that goes “Honesty is the best policy”, and it seems as true as it was when first coined. The most important element in human relationships, whether business or personal, is trust.Here is one of my secrets. I once lied to my parents because of my poor scores. Having known the real fact from teachers
76、, they praised and encouraged me, showing their deep love. Later days, my conscience swallowed me, growing as I told lie after lie in an effort to conceal my original deceit. I gave it up, and chose to be frank. Wow! It is better to stick to the truth!From then on, I have kept the following in my minds: If it is not true, dont say it. If it is not right, dont do it. Honesty is not only the best policy, but also a principle, which is absolutely essential for the good and happy living of life.
