The ’80s’ “important role” in the family has also meant a greater concentration and focus on the individual. And, it has made the word “me” one of the most frequently used words. Everything seems to be about “me”. This generation has a greater awareness of itself.

Some people do not seem to agree that all this is self-centred. When Cai Fuchao, Beijing’s publicity head, was asked to comment on the lack of responsibility of university students during the SARS period, his reply was: “Modern university students are ambitious, knowledgeable and have a very strong sense of responsibility to the society.”

As news analyst from sina.com, Pan Fengliang, echoed（隨聲附和）that, saying that blindly blaming them（for running away during the SARS outbreak）was prejudiced and unfair and not backed with evidence.

No doubt, the development of information technology has contributed its bit to broadening, or bending, the minds of the 80s generation.

Some people even call Gen’80 “the E-generation”. They get in touch with each other via email, QQ, ICQ and MSN.

While the people of the ’60s and ’70s swarmed（涌往）to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou, Gen’80s were on the BBS saying that it was “really dumb”.

“The internet is so much more to those of the ’80s than you can imagine,” said Wu Junyong, an IT engineer who was born in 1978.

In Wu’s opinion, it’s the Internet that separates the 70s from the 80s, “Many of the’70s don’t see why those from the ’80s can spend everyday in front of a computer.”

A new weekly Magazine/163.com survey last year found that 40 percent of the 7,000 people surveyed, born in the ’80s, thought the computer was the most important article in life; more than 70 percent of their parents preferred the home.

55. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.The development of information technology contributed to the ’80s’greater awareness of      itself.

B.The E-generation rushed to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou.

C.All the ’80s can spend every day in front of a computer.

D.Not all people think that the “born in the 1980s” are selfish and irresponsible.

56. What can we infer from the passage?

A.All the ’80s have a strong sense of responsibility to the society.

B.Computers play a more important part in the life of the ’80s, who perhaps can’t live without them.

C.The ’80s generation are ambitious, knowledgeable and responsible.

D.People can’t imagine why the ’80s like internet so much.

57. The best title for this passage could be ______.

A. The self-centred generation                    B. The internet generation

C. The “born in the ’80s”generation             D. The life of the ’80s

I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and somehow got a live-in job taking care of a woman who had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed（癱瘓）.

The woman had an electric wheelchair. She could move her head and arms but not her hands or fingers. She had this clamp（夾子）attached to her arm and I’d have to open it and put a cup or a pencil in it and then she could move it. She would tell me how to do things. She would instruct me in great detail on the correct way to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks and pillow cases. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed and tuck （塞）the corners. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to grab it and do it herself. But she never yelled（大叫）or scolded. Only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.

Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt, the right way to do the collar and sleeves. Now that I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.

51. From the passage we can infer that the writer of the passage now is ________.

A. a housewife                               B. a full-time worker

C. a clothes maker                          D. a college student

52. The writer used to take care of the lady because ______.

A.   she wanted to learn how to do housework

B.   she was a relative of the disabled woman

C.   she wanted to earn some money while sleeping and eating there

D.  she had to do something in return to the lady for her kindness

53. When the lady taught the writer how to do housework, the little girl was ______.

A. eager to learn                           B. unwilling to learn

C. forced to learn                          D. careful to learn

54. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the lady now?

A. Sympathetic        B. Fearful              C. Hateful              D. Grateful

Botany, the study of plants, plays a strange role in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was one field about which humans had little knowledge. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age Ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exists, a detailed learning of plants and their properties（特征）must be very ancient. This is reasonable. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been greatly important to the good of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, medicines, housing, and a great many other purposes. Tribes（部落）living today in the woods of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct relation with plants, and the less clear our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on a surprising amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an apple. When our New Stone Age ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10 000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer production the next season, the first great step in a new connection of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: planted crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the collected knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relations with plants in the wild would begin to disappear.

67. Which of the following assumptions（假設(shè)）about early humans is expressed in the passage?

A. They probably had wide knowledge of plants.

B. They clearly divided knowledge into separate fields

C. They did not enjoy the study of botany.

D. They placed great importance on ownership of property.

68.According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany decreased?

A.        People no longer value plants as a useful resource.

B.        Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.

C.        Research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.

D.       Direct relation with a variety of plants has decreased.

69. In paragraph 2, the underlined word “marvel” is closest in meaning to _____.

A. edge              B. sign              C. beginning          D. wonder

70. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?

A.   The invention of agriculture tools and machines.

B.   The development of a system of names for plants.

C.   The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.

For most Chinese university students, the US is a favorite destination for further education. But apart from obstacles such as the GRE and TOEFL exams, choosing a good graduate school is no easy task.

Admission is very competitive for international students, so it is important to apply to a number of institutions to have a reasonable chance of acceptance.

Since the application to most universities requires a certain fee, Chinese students usually choose seven to 17 universities according to their own financial circumstances.

Wang Yuwei, a Zhejiang University graduate, sent applications to 15 US universities.

When the 24-year-old began looking for a US graduate school in her senior year, she took time to compare the various schools and find the ones most suiting her needs. Now, studying at the University of Washington, she knows that her hard work paid off.

“To broaden your chances, at least one third of the applications should be to less selective schools,” said Wang. “Applicants shouldn’t limit their choices to the most famous institutions.”

Furthermore, one shouldn’t rely on too much on college rankings such as the Gorman Report or US News & World Report’s annual league tables.

The right school is the one that best meets your own personal needs and interests, rather than someone else’s assessment of an institution’s prestige（聲望）.

“Usually choices are based on one’s personal interests and academic background, but it is important to make sure that your chosen subject is satisfied,” said Wang.

59.The author believes that the right school is the one that _____.

A.   has the best location

B.   best meets one’s own personal needs and interests

C.   best meets one’s assessment of an institution’s prestige

D.  offers good living conditions

60. According to this passage, what can we judge?

A.   More and more students will go abroad for their further education.

B.   Choosing a good graduate school is a piece of cake.

C.   To go abroad for further education, you must pass the GRE or TOTEL.

D.  To get a better chance to go abroad, you‘d better apply to a less selective school.

61. In the passage the writer uses the example of Wang Yuwei to show ______.

A.   you must spend a lot of time comparing the various schools

B.   it isn’t worthwhile to spend time looking for the right university

C.   it is necessary to find the suitable university that meets your personal interests

D.  one’s own financial circumstances is worth considering

62. What will be continued after this passage?

A.   How hard Chinese students studied in America.

B.   Some advice on how to take care of yourself in America.

C.   The difficulties you will meet with while living in America

D.  Some other things to consider to choose the right school.

Bikaner 13/1/2007

Dear Youming,

Have arrived in Bikaner leaving Delhi behind us. Unfortunately there just wasn’t enough time to see everything in only four days. Outside Bikaner’s city walls are miles of desert wilderness. Tomorrow I look forward to exploring the wall itself. The sandstone architecture is said to be incredible. We are also going to take a camel ride through some of the desert. Can you picture me on a camel? I’ll make sure that I have lots of photographs taken. After three days here the next stop is Jaipur.

Love,

Lisa

Delhi 8/1/2007

Dear Mum and Dad,

We have just arrived in India and are in the bustling and exciting city of Delhi. This morning we visited the Red Fort. There we found magnificent palaces, mosques and splendid buildings. I could have spent hours there. This afternoon, amongst other things, we visited the India Gate---a memorial for Indian soldiers lost at war earlier this century. The gates were the largest I have ever seen.

Wish you were here,

Lisa

21/1/2007

Dear Jinao,

So far so good. Once we arrived in Agra, we went straight to the Taj Mahal. I have never seen anything so wonderful. They said that it would look something like Humuyan’s Tomb（Delhi）and it does! There really is nothing more amazing than the brilliant white of the Taj shimmering in the daylight. Apparently the pollution poses a real threat to it. We really covered a great deal in three days here.

It’s been an amazing experience and I’m sorry that we’ll be flying home this evening.

Bye for now.

Lisa
