When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand，the professor said：“If you noticed，all the nice—looking，expensive cups were taken up，leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves，that is the source of your problems and stress．”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee，not the cup，but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups．”
“Now consider this：Life is the coffee and the jabs，money and position in society are the cups.They are just tools to hold and contain life，and do not change the quality of life．Sometimes，by concentrating only on the cup，we fail to enjoy the coffee．So，don’t let the cups drive you．．．enjoy the coffee instead．”

But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro (blacks) mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks (鞋套) over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they managed it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.
I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the hot-water pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to deal with the mice: leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh, they were just like part of the family!
I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finished bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.
I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent (房租) money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet, or make up some other excuses. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet (櫥柜) because there should be only two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.
66. Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day, because _________.
A. she had to cook breakfast for her children      
B. she had to catch the first bus to the factory
C. she had to work in the white man’s house

67. What does the underlined word “scrubbed” mean in the text?
A. mopped        B. cleared               C. painted         D. built
68. Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because ___________ .
A. she thought we didn’t need to          B. we didn’t like washing hands
C. we had done everything very well       D. there was no soap or water in our home
69. Why did the writer hide in the closet when the owner of the flat came for rent?
A. The closet could only hold two kids.              
B. Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.
C. They should pay more rent for two kids.           
D. There was only one bedroom for the two kids.
70. What does the writer mainly tell us?
A. Black people lead a hard life.                       
B. Black people don’t have enough rent money.
C. White people lead an expensive life.          
D. White people have special baby doctors.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced.
And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被過度吹噓的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles?
Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others.
The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皺紋) cream.
This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity.
A compromise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.
So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective.
41.   This passage mainly tells us something about _____.
A. anti aging creams                         B. anti aging foods
C. anti wrinkle face                          D. anti wrinkle skin
42.   According to the author, we can infer _____.
A. anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age
B. skin damage must not reappear after using creams

D. skin damage will disappear forever after using creams
43.   The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that _____.
A. they remove upper layers of dead skin cells
B. they make deeper layers absorb water
C. they make layers look fuller and healthier
D. they make wrinkle faces rough
44.   The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is _____.
A. having a larger amount of money
B. having a smaller amount of money
C. having no money at all
D. having a lot of money

A. spend much money on your choice of product

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can make sure of a person's blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from parents.
The four groups must be transfused carefully. A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; therefore, it is often called the universal donor (萬能捐贈(zèng)者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient（接受者）. However, because so many reactions (反應(yīng)) can happen in transfusions（輸血）, patients usually receive only salt of plasma (liquid part of blood) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to prevent the transfusion from any bad reactions.
86. People with type A blood can receive type     .
A. AB           B. B       C. O                    D. all of the three
87. If you need a blood transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is    .
A. a mixture of type A and type B
B. a mixture of salt, plasma and type O
C. type AB
D. exactly the same type as your own
88. The phrase "universal recipient" means a person who    .
A. can receive blood of type A or B
B. can receive blood of any other type
C. can give blood to anybody
D. cannot give blood to others
89. A good title for this article is    .
A. Getting Enough Blood
B. Differences Between Blood Types
C. Man's Four Types of Blood
D. How to Give Blood Transfusion
90. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Carelessness in a blood transfusion may lead to death. 
B. AB is the mixture of A and B
C. AB is called the universal recipient because it can receive any other group.
D. In transfusions, patients usually receive only salt of plasma at first.

Whether playing, shopping, studying, or just surfing, today’s kids are taking advantage of all the World Wide Web has offered. When it comes to their personal information online, though, who’s in charge? The Federal Trade Commission has established new rules to make sure that youngsters’ privacy (隱私) is protected while they are online.
Website operators must:
Post the privacy policy. Websites directed to children or to collecting information from kids under 13 must post a notice of their information-collection practices that includes:
*Types of personal information they collect from kids, such as name, home address, e-mail address, or hobby.
*How the site will use the information, for example, to notify contest winners, or make the information available through a child’s participation in a chat room.
*Whether personal information is forwarded to a third party.
Get parental permission. In many cases, a site must obtain parental permission before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information about a child. Permission is not required when a site is collecting an e-mail address to respond to a request from the child, to provide notice to the parent, to ensure the safety of the youngster or the site, or to send a newsletter—as long as the site notifies parents and gives them an opportunity to say no to the arrangement.
Parents should:
Look for a privacy policy on the website. The policy must be available through a link on the website’s homepage, or on the homepage of the section for kids. Read the policy closely. If you find a website that doesn’t post basic protections for children’s personal information, ask for details about their information-collection practices.
Decide whether to give permission. You can give permission and say no later to collecting, using or disclosing your children’s information.
Ask to see the information your child has given. Make sure that your kid’s information isn’t given out improperly.
61. Why has the Federal Trade Commission established new rules?
A. Because the privacy of kids is used for business competition.
B. Because kids are using the Internet in a wrong way.
C. Because the privacy of kids should be safe.

When you think of the different types of advertising, several come to your mind. There are the traditional means to advertise: newspapers, magazines, radio, television commercials, billboards, and even taxicabs. Yet there are other types of advertising, such as aerial advertising, which is very different in many aspects.
Radio advertising is aimed at the local customers. The downside of using radio is that the customer needs to have the station tuned in. Placement of ads on the radio is another consideration since listening time is important to the ad being heard at the best time. The upside of using radio is that the audience does tend to remember jingles（收音機(jī)廣告中的歌曲）that are easy to remember.
Magazine and newspaper advertising is directed to the subscribers（訂閱人）. The subscriptions limit the availability to non-subscribers. The concept of being able to read information online is slowly changing the subscriptions to this advertising market. Limitations of circulation of magazines and newspapers mean fewer people viewing the advertisements.
Television commercial advertising is channeled to the viewers. Limitations of viewers based on the available channel selections lower the exposure audience. With the availability of satellite to consumers, locating the client base for advertisement can easily be lost or overlooked.
Billboard advertising focuses on the area of the billboard. Limitations of outside regions viewing the information are high. Getting the attention of the passers-by to view the information is also a subject to be considered.
Aerial banner advertising focuses on vast population of various regions. Based upon the region, the exposure is limitless. Grabbing or gaining the public’s attention is based on simple human nature to look up at the airplane that is flying overhead. People typically look up when a plane flies overhead. To have a banner with an advertisement adds more curiosity and response.
People tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate. They also tend to communicate to others about the advertisement by sharing the information by word of mouth. This word of mouth is absolutely free but is of important benefit to aerial advertising. Aerial advertising can be done throughout the entire year, but the warmer months are preferred. Aerial advertising has certain restrictions. Yet these restrictions are fewer than the other means of advertising.
59．The underlined word“downside”in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A．strength       B．weakness     C．purpose           D．instruction
60．Which of the following is the author probably in favor of?
A．Radio advertising.      B．Television advertising.
C．Aerial advertising. D．Billboard advertising
61．The first paragraph is used as a（n） _________.
A．explanation   B．introduction         C．a(chǎn)ccount           D．start
62．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Different advantages of advertising.      B．Advantages overpass weakness.
C．Various weaknesses of advertising.  D．Different types of advertising.

Vancouver ended its time hosting the 2010 Olympic games on a light-hearted note, with a closing ceremony that featured floating moose, dancing Mounties and gigantic cut-out hockey players wearing the gold medals Team Canada had won hours before.
The upbeat ending was in stark contrast to the grim beginning of these games, which were marred by protests, the death of a Georgian luger, and then by unseasonably warm weather that left organizers postponing events and trucking in snow on Cypress Mountain.
``You took on a stubborn mountain with all your might,'' said Vancouver Organizing Committee CEO John Furlong, lauding the games' blue-garbed staff in a speech during the ceremony. ``The final result: Blue Jackets 1; Cypress Mountain weather zero.''

A. snow once was a big problem for the events.   B. a Georgian coach died
