D

    They once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws(人力車) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution.

In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new mode of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.

“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy,” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.

While the city still has 7,000 motor – taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.

“It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said UIF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “It feels so free.”

“This is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin.” said another traveler.

In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.

Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.

Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.

68．Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?

       A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.

       B．They have been banned because they are too cruel.

       C．The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily.

       D．Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.

69．What does the underlined sentence "This is something out of the ordinary ... you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin" (para. 7)suggest?

       A．The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok.

       B．The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok.

       C．The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.

       D．The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin.

70．What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?

       A．He gives no personal opinion.                B．He believes they will be of no use.

       C．He thinks they will reduce pollution.       D．He thinks they are old-fashioned.

Much meaning can be conveyed with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of  36  ? In a bus you may look at a   37  , but not too long. And if he is   38  that he is being stared at, he may feel   39  .

  49  , the normal eye contact for two people   50   in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener   51  , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,   52  he tries to dominate(控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to   53  only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that   54  cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific   55  .

B

As Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5a grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.

But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.

However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.

Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners, he is a joy to be around."

His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."

His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."

Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."

Now, Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.  Teddy's present,  however,  was clumsily wrapped in rough brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy's gifts, a rhinestone bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! "What a pretty bracelet! Mm, lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.

Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs. Thompson, "Today you smelled just like my Mom used to..." His teacher cried all night and, from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

60．What is the best title of this text?

       A．A Student's Best Friend                      B．How To Be a Good Student

      C．The Story of a Good Teacher             D． A Teacher's Lesson

61．How did Teddy's behavior change between Grades 1 and 4?

       A．He became better at making friends.     B．He became closer to his father.

     C．He paid less attention to school.          D． He stopped doing his homework.

62．We can learn from the last paragraph that            .

       A．Mrs. Thompson was deeply hurt by Teddy's words

      B．Teddy missed his mother and desired love very much

     C．Mrs. Thompson realized it useless to teach knowledge

     D．Mrs. Thompson cried because she lied to Teddy about his presents
