第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is the part of our value system and it has a great effect on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three caegories. They are: the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail（蜗牛）.
The ant―work first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket ? fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail ? living under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure if they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
56. According to this passage, value system ______.
A. is a set of our own values or beliefs B. is the way we look after our money
C. will not change later in life D. is belief of how to manage our finances
57. The ant refers to people who _______.
A. work very hard in summer in order to store food for winter
B. could make more money if they worked harder
C. only care about enjoying the moment by working very hard
D. save money for their later life when they get old and retire
58. The crickets borrow money because ________.
A. they are young
B. they think they have no future
C. they would like to enjoy everything now
D. they want to buy insurance
59. According to the last paragraph which of the following is TRUE?
A. The snails enjoy life because they have luxury houses.
B. The snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford them.
C. The snails take big long-term loans because the interest for the long-term loans is lower.
D. The snails live under pressure and they may have problems in the future.
60. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To make us understand the difference and manage our money better.

I long to that classification of people known as wives. I am a wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.
Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his exwife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if necessary, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who eill was the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have a proper social life with their peers(同辈人), takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, mended, replaced when necessary nad who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find wha I need the moment I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and them do the washing-up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.
If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the freedom to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life. My wife will take the children and be wholly responsible for them so that I am left free.
When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties.
My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?

Managers cannot always wait for information to arrive in bits and pieces from the marketing intelligence system. They often require formal studies of specific situations. For example, Toshiba wants to know how many and what kinds of people or companies will buy its new superfast laptop computers. Or Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, needs to know what percentage of its target market has heard of Barat, how they heard, what they know, and how they feel about Barat. In such situations, the marketing intelligence system will not provide the detailed information needed. Managers will need marketing research.
We define marketing research as the systematic design, collection, analysis, and reporting of data and findings related to a specific marketing situation facing an organization. Every marketer needs research. Marketing researchers engage in a wide variety of activities, ranging from market potential（潜能）and market share studies, to assessments of customer satisfaction and purchase behavior, to studies of pricing, distribution, and promotion activities.
A company can conduct marketing research in its own research department or have some or all of it done outside. Although most large companies have their own marketing research departments, they often use outside firms to do special research tasks or studies. A company with no research department has to buy the services of research firms.
68. According to the first paragraph, what managers want is ______.
A. pieces of information B. formal studies of certain cases
C. some special situations D. the marketing intelligence system
69. The example of Toshiba shows that managers are concerned about ______.
A. the potential buyers of its production B. its new superfast laptop computers
C. what people want to buy D. their products and customers
70. Which of the following is NOT included in marketing research work?
A. Market potential and market share studies.
B. Assessments of customer satisfaction and purchase behavior
C. Studies of pricing, distribution and promotion activities.
D. A specific marketing situation
71. Where does a company make their own marketing research?
A. In their research system B. In the office.
C. In its own research department D. In their daily work.

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans “There’s no free lunch”, meaning there’s a price for everything, I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.
Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him . “ Wait until you have something major to fix,” he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite.
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t make up for the greatest gift-friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, they are professors, with plenty of things to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”
And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said,” they were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies!”
How life flies! And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know, they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly. To both give and receive.
So the next time someone says, “ No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
72. Why did the author insist on paying the repairman when he was offered free repairs?
A. Because he was an upright man.
B. Because he didn’t know the repairman.
C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service.
D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
73. The underlined phrase “figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. count B. think of C. know about D. make it clear
74. Generally, the author thinks that ______.
A. Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends
B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
C. Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
75. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Chinese seldom refuse payment for professional services.
B. When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.
C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy their life.
D. Finally, the author changed his mind and decided to do as the Chinese do.

A
When Christopher Reeve was picked to play the role superhero in films in 1977, audiences across the country cheered. Like superman, he seemed nearly invincible (5 ~ ~ ). He skied, sailed, flew planes, went diving, rode horses, played tennis-and did it all with skill and ease. No one could imagine Christopher Reeve any other way.
All that changed on May 27, 1995, when Christopher was in a three-day horse riding competition in Virginia, a terrible acCident happened to him, which resulted in paralysis (~) from the neck down and not breathing on his own. Doctors gave him only a 50-50 chance of surviving at all.
Gathering his courage, he began to fight for his life. A few days later, Christopher underwent an operation that helped restore some feeling to his upper body. Still, doctors emphasized his limitations. He would never walk again. He would never even breathe again without the aid of a respirator. But Christopher proved the doctors wrong. By the end of 1995, he was able to go home.
Soon after that, Christopher felt ready to face the world again. He had a message to spread. He wanted to tell people that no matter what challenges they faced, they shouldn't give up. Wherever he appeared, his speeches met with standing ovations (~,~)-and many teary faces. Christopher also went back to work: directing films, which proved he had not lost his creative spark.
Christopher had his share of "down" times, but after the tears, he always whispered, "And now, forward!"
He died at age 52 on Oct. 10, 2004, after several years of living and working with his severe disability. He still was -- and always will be-Superman!
56. From Paragraph 1, we learn that Christopher Reeve was __
A. nearly unconquerable like Superman in the minds of manypeople
B. more a sportsman than a film actor
C. eager to show off his acting skills
D. not interested in playing the role superhero in the films
57. Shortly after Christopher was operated on, he
A. recovered quickly and went home
B. his chances of surviving were still slim
C. still had some difficulty in breathing
D. refused to follow the doctors' advice and went home
58. What would Christopher most like to tell people in his speeches?
A. The accident that made him disabled~
B. The role superhero he played in the films.
C. The inner strength he showed in the face of great difficulties
D. The difficulties he had in his "down" times
59. The writer expresses great admiration for Christopher's
A. great fame
B. great courage of defeating fatal difficulties
C. artistic figure-superman
D. Creativity of directing films
B
Vitamin D is produced naturally in the blood. Sunlight is a major source. It is also found in some foods. Vitamin D helps to increase levels of calcium in the blood. It helps build strong bones and teeth. It also helps in muscle development.
It also appears to do more than just protect against rickets. Rickets is now r/are in the westernworld. But it is still a common childhood disease in developing countries. Rickets can cause bone pain and weakness, teeth problems and muscle loss.
Now researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston say vitamin D might protect against multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化), also called MS, which is a progressive disease of the central nervous system that affects about two million people around the world. There is no cure. MS causes problems with speech and movement. The level of severity can differ from person to person. But it is usually seriously disabling.
The study in Boston involved blood samples from more than seven million members of the American military. It found that people with higher levels of vitamin D had lower rates of MS. It found that the chance of developing MS was sixty-two percent lower among those with the highest level of vitamin D than those '~ith the lowest level.
Alberto Ascherio led the study. He says vitamin D may become a future treatment for MS. But, hesays first scientists must carry out a large, controlled study iii which some people get vitamin D and others do not.
This is not the first study to show a possible relationship between vitamin D and multiple sclen0sis. But it has provided the clearest evidence of a direct link.
The National Institutes of Health says some studies also suggest vitamin D may protect against some kinds of cancer, especially colon cancer. But it says more human studies are needed to learn if a lack of vitamin D increases the risk of cancer; or if treatment with large amounts of vitamin D could protect against the disease.
60. The best title for this passage would be
A. Vitamin D and Protection against the Disability
B. The Progressive Disease MS
C. Vitamin D and Colon Cancer

A. In western countries people are rich in vitamin D in their bodies.
B. Now doctors are able to use vitamin D to treat MS.
C. When it comes to using large amounts of vitamin D to treat some kinds of cancer, scientists
will have a long way to go.

A. the more we absorb vitamin D, the heahhier we will be
B. it's difficult to find a proper way to carry out the study on vitamin D
C. people used to pay no attention to the health value from vitamin D
D. MS is a common disease that the people in the developing countries often suffer from

You are new to the USA, and you have just figured out the right answer to the question," How are you dong today?" is typically "good" or "fine". Soon, people are beginning to ask, "So what are you doing on the long weekends?" This may cause some confusion. What's a long weekend?
A three-day weekend is a long weekend. Public holidays in the USA typically fall on or get moved to a Friday or Monday, making it a hmg weekend. Many banks, government offices and companies close on these holidays, giving their employees a chance to relax. Long weekends to some people in the USA can be compared to a religious experience.

If your American friend tells yon, "Oh, we met at Thanksgiving, dated through the holidays and tied the knot during the Memorial Day weekend," he is serious and it really happened that way. Weddings, family reunions and Christenings (洗礼仪式) are all planned on the weekend. Saturday, for example, is said to be the most popular choice fin' ti wedding in the USA. A h)t of important social events occur on weekends, and most Americans plan their long weekends way ahead of time.
In many ways, the long weekends throughout the year prepare you for the long vacation finale (大团圆) (luring Christmas and New Year. So enjoy this unique American experience, and when someone asks you what you are doing over the hmg weekend, you will know exactly what they are talking about.

These days, about half of all tlrinks sold in American schools are sugary soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi. Opponents (反对者) have fought these sales fi)r years. They say sugary soft drinks are largely responsible for the increase irt owerweight young people.
The soft drink industry has rcjected thc blame anti raised thc issue of not enough physical exercise. But earlier this month there was a big announcement. The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo anti Cadbury Schweppes have agreed to stop selling these products in schools. The conlpanies agreed to limit sales in high schools to diet soft drinks, sports drinks, juices, milk and water. High schools sell the most soft drinks. Elementary and middle ,chools wouhl be limited to bottled water, milk and juice.
Limits on serving sizes and cak)rie counts in drinks are also part of the agreement. States such as California anti Connecticut have already I)amled or restricted soft drink sales in public schools. Other places have been considering action. leading soda makers say less than one percent of their money comes fn,m school sales. But many schools face limited budgets. Marketing agreements with food and drink companies offer one solution. Marry parents.and others, though, say it is a bad solution.
The industry agreement is part of a campaign to reduce childhood obesity(肥胖). The campaign is led by the William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association. The government says five percent of teenagers were overweight in 1980. By 2004, it was seventeen percent. For younger children, the rate increased from seven to nineteen percent. The Center for Science in the Public 'Interest had threatened legal action if no agreement was reached. The group argues that sugary soda should come with health warnings, just like cigarettes.
The agreement is expected to be fully in place by 2010. But other companies do not have to honor it. And some people say it does not go far enough.
68. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part here refers to
A. taking action to carry out the marketing agreement
B. selling soft drinks in the schools
C. joining in the campaign of reducing childhood obesity
D. raising school budgets
69. According to the agreement,
A. Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo and Cadbury Schweppes will not sell their soft drinks any more
B. in the public schools of America. there are no soft drink sales
C. it's difficult for students in middle schools to buy coca-colas
D. students in high schools can't buy bottled water or juice
70. We can see what the William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association mainly do is most probably related to
A. solving the social problem-the food safety
B. taking legal action to fight against the soft drink sales in schools
C. preventing students from drinking sugary soft drinks
D. calling on people to consider overweight teenagers seriously
71.It can be concluded that

Universiity eelebrates anniveersary
Beijing Foreign Studies University celebrated its 6$th anniversary this weekend.
Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) is the cradle of Chinese diplomats. More than 350 ambassadors of the People's Republic of China used to study here," said Zhang Yesui, vice-foreign minister and an alumnus of the university.
Parents pay tutors to play with kids
With the public holiday coming next week, the education department is seeing a surge in demand for tutors who can take children to play during the vacation, reported local newspaper Beijing Daily.
The tutor agency in Beijing Normal University said that more than 400 students at the university acted as play tutors during the summer.
Other tutor agencies in the city have reported similar figures.
Major competition for jobs coupled with intense parental attention on each child, partly brought about by the one-child policy, has led to many city children having little time to simply play; they always have to do something more constructive.
"Gerrine training centre " under fire
A "Genius training centre" that claims to give young children an IQ of over 130 in just one year has received mixed responses in East China's Jiangsu Province.
Targeting parents of children aged under seven, the Huierjie Genius Training Centre in Suzhou promises that one year's education will turn their youngster into a child prodigy (神童) with a wide vocabulary and knowledge exceeding that of other children.
According to Ma Da, executive director of the centre, it uses textbooks and teaching methods developed by Chan Ching Wai, a writer and educator from Hong Kong, which combine memory, numbers, vocabulary and logic training.
But Zhang Min, father of 4-year-old Zhang Heng, who studies in the centre, was quoted by the Eastern Morning Post as saying the "teaching is not so different from that in public kindergartens."
And the centre's advertisements have provoked a mixed response from both experts and the public. It takes time to raise a child naturally, said a middle school teacher who disagrees with the "genius training program".
72. This passage is mainly concerned with
A. campus news B. the criticism on China's education
C. students' school life D. how to train children
73. Many'parents hire play tutors for their children during holidays mainly because
A. their children don't want to be free with so much work to do
B. they want the play tutors to help their children's studies
C. they think their children have too little time to relax
D. they feel the competition for jobs is too strong for their children
74. We can infer from the "genius training centre" under fire that
A. not all the public think it's worthwhile setting up such a training centre
B. the so-called training centre is nonsense
C. the Eastern Morning Post didn't cover the "genius training centre"
D. it has been proved that the teaching method used by the training centre works well
75.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Beijing Foreign Studies University is meant for cultivating Chinese diplomats.
B. The tutor agencies have done something more constructive to set the children free during
holidays than Beijing Normal University.
C. The teaching methods developed by Chun Ching Wai focus on how to enlarge children's
vocabulary.
D. The underlined word "provoked" here can be replaced by the word "caused".

Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, `I love you, son.'"

A
If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees. One would certainly think otherwise; nevertheless, selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with peril. For instance, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she found to be a bargain: a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it. Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier that we ever had before. We were pleased with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decorated it from top to bottom, and then sat back to bask(享受) in its soft light. Two or three days passed, and the truth couldn’t be hidden: we had bought a tree cut so long ago that it was now shedding its needles. There was nothing to do but undecorated it, take it down, and begin tree shopping again.
Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another challenge. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it had in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, whose nuts and bolts worked more difficultly than those of our old stand. Our only resource was to persuade two young neighbors to stop playing the basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it securely in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers’ sneakers; so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments(装饰物) were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales to tell more harrowing than these. I don’t care to hear them, for my family’s experiences, of which these are but three, are enough to tempt me to make the following suggestion: “Let’s forget the tree next Christmas. Let’s simply decorate a garland over the mirror in the hall and hang a wreath on the front door.”

A rock group called the Rocket Crew is on tour. Their agent has asked the town officials about Wilbour City on the tour. The stadium in the town is large enough to hold the expected crowd. Ticket sales in the area would be good because several towns are around Wilbur City. However, many people in the town don’t want a rock concert because they fear the damage the crowd might cause.

What is the most pressing environmental issue we face today? “Global warming”? The “greenhouse effect”? At the Oscar ceremonies, Al Gore referred to a “ Climate crisis”, but in his State of the Union address President Bush chose the comparatively comforting phrase “climate change”. They all refer to the same thing, but the first rule of modern political speech is that before addressing any problem each side must “frame the debate” in the most favorable way.
In recent years there has been a contest between “global warming” and “climate change.” Bush’s use of the latter was consistent with Republican practice, which calls for de-emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Unlike the “catastrophic”(灾难性的) meaning of global warming, strategist Frank Luntz wrote, “climate change sounds a more controllable and less emotional challenge.” So should activists favor “global warming”? Well, not necessarily. Richard C.J. Somerville, a leading researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, thinks “global warming” is problematic because it puts the focus on worldwide average temperature, rather than the more serious regional dangers of storms, floods and drought.
In any case, “global warming” seems to have won out over its rivals(竞争对手), if one can judge by The New York Times, where for each of the last three years “global warming” is more often used than “climate change” by almost exactly two to one. Both of these phrases have triumphed(胜过) over “greenhouse effect,” which was the most common term in the early 1980s. George Lakoff, the Berkeley professor of linguistics(语言学), is a strong backer of the dark house “climate crisis,” which is also favored by Gore. “ Climate change doesn’t suggest immediate action,” says Lakoff. “Climate crisis says immediate action needed. The framing is not just a matter of labels, it’s modes of thought.”
“I don’t like words that leave me anxious,” says Somerville. “Using crisis conveys the thought that this is hopeless. But there’s a lot that can be done about this. I’m still looking for the right words to describe what’s happening, but it’s not keeping me from trying to stop it.”
64. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. The War of the Words
B. The most pressing environmental issue.
C. Climate Crisis or Climate Change
D. Language and Politics
65. A republican would probably prefer to use the term .
A. climate change B. climate crisis
C. global warming D. greenhouse effect
66. Which of the followings is NOT true?
A. Politics has something to do with language.
B. Activists would certainly like the phrase “global warming”.
C. “Greenhouse effect” is not often used today than it was 20 years ago.
D. “Climate change” sounds more comforting than “climate crisis”.
67. From the last paragraph we can infer that
A. Somerville is against using the term “climate crisis”.
B. Somerville is in favor of the term “climate crisis”.
C. Somerville thinks the term “climate crisis” makes people worried.
D. Somerville thinks nothing can be done to stop using the term “climate crisis”.

One of the most expected revolution in aviation is to take off pretty soon, as new super-fast, relatively cheap airplanes called “very light jets” (VLJs) finally go into service.
Thanks to breakthroughs in the performance of engines for small jets, along with better airplane manufacturing techniques, companies such as Eclipse Aviation, the Albuquerque, and Adam Aircraft of Denver are promising a new kind of airplanes for a new travel: jet-speed transportation between as many as 5,500.US. airports and in planes that cost less than before.
Waiting for final certification by the Federal Aviation Administration, Eclipse’s six-seat E500 could be in the hands of pilots this July.
Linear Air has already ordered 30 of the Eclipse very light jets and plans to put them in service between August and late 2007. The planes can fly at more than 400 mph, twice the typical speed of private propeller-driven planes.
“This is the absolute future, and everybody in the aviation business knows it,” said Arthur Allen, chairman of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission, which oversees 38 smaller airports around the States.
Because VLJs weight as little as a minivan, they can land on runways as short as 3,000feet---compared with 4,000 or 5,000 feet required by the smaller jets today. Allen forecasts that the new jets will open up new markets for air taxi and charter services.
“It’s like an executive car service with wings,” said Bill Herp, Linear Air’s chief executive. “VLJs are going to revolutionize the way a large percentage of the traveling public gets around.” Parts of Linear’s plan with scheduled charter service is to introduce passengers who have a licence to operate a jet by themselves to the private plane experience and turn them to future consumers for $ 1,500 or $3,000 charter flights, either for business or vacation travels.
For Herp, the huge advantage of VLJs is that they will cost one-third as much to buy and half as much to operate per hour as traditional small jets, vastly extending the market for air taxi and charter services.
68. According to the text which of the following is NOT true about the new jets?
A. They can cost less both in buying and using.
B. They can carry more people on the board.
C. They can fly faster and can be more convenient.
D. They need shouter runways.
69. We may learn from the text that Linear Air is going to .
A. sell the new jets at lower prices
B. let people experience the travel of the new jets
C. make the course and the price of the tickets of all jets
D. make contracts with taxi business
70. According to the text, the underlined phrase “charter service” is a service .
A. for those who want to hire a plane for a particular purpose.
B. for those who want to have a chat while flying.
C. for those who want to save money for their travel.
D. for those who want to enjoy a cheap but pleasant flight.
71. We can infer from the text that .
A. the jets can be operated by car drivers in the future
B. only the rich can use the new jets as their private planes
C. the new jets will have a promising market
D. all companies in aviation will extend the market abroad

One year ago, when Fiona turned four, Sam and I decided to home-school her instead of sending her to pre-school. I have always felt that the 0-5 years are an irreplaceable dreamtime. As Fiona is an inventive, observant child, sensitive and funny and great company, it would be a tragedy to find school rubbing away her uniqueness and restricting the building of her personality.
I tried not to reproduce school at home. I never had the urge to get a pointer, or chalk, or a blackboard. I didn’t go and search out a curriculum(课程表). I felt that my children would learn best if I stayed accessible and stayed out of their way.
Every day we went with the flow, worked some, relaxed some, read some and played some, but Fiona did not seem particularly happy here. She lost her temper once in a while.
How strange it was that my child who was free from school didn’t want to be free at all. Her friends all went to pre-school. She felt left out of a major part of her friends’ shared lives and experiences. I thought she was not in school for very strong, clear reasons, one of which was that the quality of learning my child did at home would be good, even better than expected.
Well, here was a situation I hadn’t anticipated. When we first decided to do this, Sam and I agreed that we would reassess(再评价) the situation for each child as she turned seven. Meanwhile we would offer her non-schoolbased opportunities to give her plenty of time with other kids―ballet lessons, swimming classes and T-ball. She seemed to be enjoying all. But at times she kept asking when she was going to school. Whenever she asked this question, we told her that there would be a family meeting about it when she turned seven. She nearly always responded, “That’s when I’m going to go, then.” A fair amount of her curiosity was about school and I was afraid she was dreaming of going to school before she turned seven.
Although the advantages of home-schooling, I think, far outweigh its disadvantages, it is important for me to respect my daughter’s feelings and allow her to direct her own education. If her curiosity leads her to school, isn’t that where she should go?
Next week I’ll drive Fiona to her school. I hope that Fiona will learn to read and discover something wonderful to pursue in the world that opens up for her. I hope she will find the activities she is involved in provide her with satisfactory kid-time.
72. The writer decided to home-school her daughter, Fiona, because .
A. she thought children aged 0-5 were too young to go to pre-school
B. she was afraid that Fiona may not be accepted by schools for her bad temper
C. she knew that home-schooling was much better than school education
D. she believe that children at Fiona’s age were too young to have their characters formed by school
73. In home schooling her daughter the writer tried .
A. to make her home just like a school
B. to teach with a pointer, a piece of chalk, and a blackboard
C. to be there when her child wanted her but tried not to stand in her way
D. to teach according to a curriculum, which was suitable for Fiona
74. What was the writer’s biggest problem in home schooling her daughter?
A. She couldn’t decide what to teach and how to teach her daughter
B. She was not sure whether her teaching was suitable for Fiona.
C. She could not make Fiona give up the thought of going to school.
D. She didn’t know how to control Fiona’s temper
75. We can learn from the text that .
A. Fiona always acted against her mother’s instructions
B. it was against Fiona’s with that she was educated at home
C. home-schooling was popular some years ago
D. Fiona’s parents would ask her opinions about school education

参考范文:
On the evening of April 9th, Li Hua was watching TV while his mother was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. How attentive he was watching the TV program when the telephone rang. It was from a friend of his mother’s, who wanted to say happy birthday to his mother. “Today is my mother’s birthday?” Li Hua thought to himself, feeling ashamed.
At the story, I get deeply shocked. It is not easy for parents to bring us up. They give us lots of love and care, while we don’t care for them enough. Now it’s never too late to realize this and show our love and care for them.
