As a senior three student，it won't take long after I graduate．Now，I have much to share with my fellow student．
Firstly，I'd like to show my appreciation to those stand by me all the way，teachers，parents and friends included．Without their help and advice，my life will be different．Secondly，it's high time for I to say sorry to the classmates whom I hurt or misunderstand．I firm believe that communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship．Thirdly，I've made up my mind to make every effort to study，so hard work is the key to a success．Finally I want to express my hope which all the younger fellows can make full use of time，because time and tide wait for no man．

My favorite sport is playing basketball．In the middle school，I joined in the basketball team．All the teammate practised hard after school．Once our team had match against another school's．
At the very beginning，we were so nervous which we couldn't cooperate very good，because this was the first time for us to compete with the school honor．In the half match they fell behind．Our  team leader calls us together and said that we must get uniting in order to beat them．Then we tried our best and won the game at last．Play basketball makes me realize the importance of union and  teamwork．

5．下面短文中有10处语言错误．请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词．
During my second month of nursing school，our professor gives us a pop quiz．I was a careful
student and had easily dealt with the questions until I read the last one："What is the first name of  the woman who cleans the school？"Surely this was some kind of joke．I had seen a cleaning  woman several time．She was tall，dark-haired and in her 50s，and how could I know her name？I  handed out my paper，left the last question blank．Before class ended，one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade．"Absolute，"said the professor．"In your careers you meet many people．All are significant．They deserve their attention and care，even if all you do is smile and say'hello'"．I've never forgotten that lesson．I later learned her name was Dorothy．

4．Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts （滑雪场）．Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow．It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital．And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze（热潮）．
  Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago，the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase．There are now more than a dozen resorts．Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections．Mr．Wei，a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing，sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe，In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China．But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe．
  Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private （私有的） cars．This has led to the growth of a Ieisure industry  in the capital's suburbs （郊区），which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people，According to Mr．Wei，about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars．The rest are bused in by schools，businesses or government Offices．
  The problem is making money．Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money； hiring land from the local government，preparing the hills，buying snow machines，making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them，and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers．
 The ski resort where Mr．Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up．And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea，many others hash in and price wars break out．Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world，though with most people rather new to the sport，expecting a few more doing the same job．

3．When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera，the stresses （压力） of the world seem a million miles away．Hey．stop!This is no vacation-yon have to finish something!
  Here lies the problem fat travel writer and food critic （评论家） Edie Jarolim．"I always loved traveling and always liked to eat，but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things．"Jarolim said．Now you can read her travel advice everywhere-in Arts and Antiques．in Brides．or in one of her three books．The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts．
  Her job in travel writing began Some eight years ago．After getting a PhD in English in Canada．she took a test for Frommer's travel guides，passed it，and got the job．After working at Frommer's，Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London，then Fodor's，where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U．S．that she moved there．
  Now as a travel writer，she spends one-third of her year on the road．The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson，Arizona．
  As adventurous as the job sounds，the hard part is fact-checking all the information．Sure，it's great to write about a tourist attraction，but you'd better get the local （当地的） museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation．

46．Which country does Jarolim have in now？B
A．Mexico．
B．The U．S．
C．The U．K         
D．Canada

2．American cities are similar to other cities around the world：In every country，cities reflect the values of the culture．American cities are changing，just as American society is changing．
After World WarⅡ，the population of most large American cities decreased； however，the population shifts（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society．In the late 1940s and early 1950s，city residents（居民）became wealthier．They had more children so they needed more space．They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes．They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）．
Now things are changing，The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults．Many，unlike their parents，want to live in the cities．They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest．Many young professionals are moving back into the city．They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there； or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers．
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits．Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent．In the 1950s，many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs； now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．
Only a few years ago，people thought that the older American cities were dying．Some city residents now see a bright，new future．Others see only problems and conflicts．One thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again．

64．What does the author think of cities all over the world？C
A．They are alive．
B．They are hopeless．
C．They are similar．
D．They are different．
65．Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World WarⅡ？
B
A．Because older American cities were dying．
B．Because they were richer and needed more space．
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society．
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city．
66．According to the 4th paragraph，a great many poor people in American citiesA
A．are faced with housing problems
B．are forced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
67．We can conclude from the text thatB
A．American cities are changing for the worse
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities．
