Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was incomplete and 41 could roll only very slowly. While rolling, it 42 the flowers along the way, chatted with worms and enjoyed the 43 .
One day the circle found a piece that fit 44 . It was so happy! Now it could be 45 with nothing missing. It fixed the missing piece in itself and began to roll. 46 it was a perfect circle, it could rool very fast, too fast to 47 the flowers or talk to the worms.

If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, 58 enough to share in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know 59 is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that 60 living creature will ever know.

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s a mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”
In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He ignored them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to abb, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of Jame’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.
Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
61. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because .
A、he was a man difficult to please
B、she never knew when he was coming
C、she was too busy looking after her children
D、he never stayed long enough for a meal
62. What do you know about James’ behavior?
A、He was a kind man, with love for the family.
B、He was generous, especially towards his brother.
C、He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.
D、He was rude to his sister-in-law.
63. The children did not realize that two of Jame’s wives .
A、were dead
B、suffered from loss of memory
C、had run away from him
D、might reappear one day
B
Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a large number of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.
64. The first paragraph mainly tells us that .
A、most people in the world speak Chinese
B、there are thousands of languages in the world today
C、man has much knowledge about languages
D、some people know several languages
65. Most European and Indian languages .
A、will soon die out completely
B、were once a relative of English
C、are no longer spoken
D、come from the same family
66. seems to have changed a lot.
A、Chinese B、English C、Spanish D、German
67. The word “dialect” in the last paragraph means .
A、a special language spoken by Chinese
B、the sign used by the Chinese people in a special area
C、the difference between the old and today’s Chinese
D、the form of a language used in one part of the country

The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness. People believe that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold, and it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World Was prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and them stood about dripping wet in wind. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
In the cold we have nothing to do with catching colds. Why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and painkillers such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).
68. Besides the experiments in England, the writer offered more examples to support his argument.
A、3 B、4 C、5 D、6
69. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?
A、The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B、Colds are not caused by cold.
C、People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D、A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
70. Arctic explorers may catch colds when .
A、they are working in the inolated arctic regions
B、they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C、they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D、they are coming into touch again with the outside world
71. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit .
A、suffered a lot B、never caught colds
C、often caught colds D、became very strong
D
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values－this can’t be repeated too often－are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important for them. The social services form time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to ask them to go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. Never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. At what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while there’s life, there’s hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
72. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that .
A、very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B、very old people are able to keep their rooms clean
C、social services could have nothing to do with very old people
D、very old people prefer to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom
73. Some social workers think that .
A、one should not take risks of dealing with old people
B、old people should have the idea of cleaning their rooms
C、personal freedom is more important than health and safety
D、health and safety are more important than personal freedom
74. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .
A、whether age is happy or unpleasant
B、the conclusion you have come to
C、one’s money or one’s health
D、your talk to the old people
75. The author thinks that .
A、the opinion that we should try every possible means to save old people is doubtful
B、medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctors
C、old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
D、it is always right to treat old people and push off death
