The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By
46、9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their
47、heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30p
48、m means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time there after means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive- looking eag
49、er-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted
50、custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分）of surprise.68. The underlined words off their heads probably mean_.A. tired B. crazy C. curious D. pleased69. Jane and David s story is used to
51、show that_ .A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusing C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull70. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_.A. are likely to arrive late for a party B. care littl
52、e about the party time C. haven t really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties71. What is the general idea of the text? A. It s safe to arrive late just when food is served. B. It s wise to eat something before going to a party. C. It s important to follow social rules of party-going. D. It s ne
53、cessary to read invitations carefully.EYorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels (小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre and Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quali
54、ty as her sisters.Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlott
55、e was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn
56、money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charl
57、otte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlottes book. ( It was not published until 1869.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her wor
58、k. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once；Thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful；The other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-
59、like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year l
60、ater, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.72. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte? A. Help him write stories. B. Help him get trained in art. C. Teach him how to draw well. D. Teach him how to educate himself.73. Which of the following was published after the dea
61、th of its writer? A. Shirley. B. Villette. C. Agnes Grey. D. The Professor.74. The underlined words the other two in the 5th paragraph refer to A. Shirley and Villette B. The Professor and Agnes Grey C. Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights D. The Professor and Wuthering Heights75. What do we know about

Chatting on line, students can express their feelings and opinions more freely, and can even help their foreign language studies if they
65、chat with some foreigners.Others, however, think students shouldnt. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent on their studies. Besides, some may learn to tell lies and cheat others. Of course, they will sometimes get cheated by others.In my opinion, students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it among our classmates and other people around us.10 / 10
