Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 44 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 45 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 46 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 47 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 48 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience（良心） opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 49 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 50 for my stolen pizza.

For the next two years, whenever I was 55 of the “pizza incident”,I would say to myself,“Don’t think about it....”

This reflects the saying, “A coward（懦夫） dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times.

LONDON Tuesday April 11—Dustin Hoffman fan Pamela Crack got the shock of her life when the movie star telephoned her as she was doing her housework. Crack, 58, said she was ‘flabbergasted’ when she picked up the phone and heard the star at the other end.
“It’s not every day you get a Hollywood superstar phoning you when you’re doing the housework,” Crack told the Sun. “It was a moment I’ll never forget.”
Hoffman was in the back of a London taxi driven by Crack’s husband, Dave, when he made the call after being told Pamela was a fan. Dave Crack later became the star of Hoffman’s speech at the Bafta award ceremony Sunday, where the 62-year-old American actor presented the Best Film award.
“He said to give him a mention,” Hoffman told the audience to a burst of laughter. “Cheers Dave.” Taxi driver Crack said the Hollywood star was a joy to drive from the moment he got into the taxi eating a cheese and tomato sandwich.
“I said ‘You’re that Dustin Hoffman, aren’t you?’ and he said, ‘Yes I am—would you like a sandwich?’ I was a bit surprised but I took a sandwich from him and ate it hungrily.”
61. What does the word “flabbergasted” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Pleased. B. Honored. C. Frightened. D. Surprised.
62. How did Dustin Hoffman learn that Pamela was a fan?
A. He learned it at a dinner party. B. He learned it from Dave Crack.
C. He learned it when he was at the Bafta ceremony.
D. He learned it when he was watching a Hollywood movie.
63. What was Hoffman doing when he talked about Dave Crack?
A. He was riding in a taxi.
B. He was presenting the Best Film award.
C. He was talking to Pamela on the phone.
D. He was eating a cheese and tomato sandwich.

C. to attend the Bafta award ceremony D. to meet a Hollywood superstar from America

Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain（徒劳的）search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted（萦绕心头的） him and filled him with sadness.
Wherever he went to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South America, Panama, down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs.
When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493,he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe（凶狠的印第安部落） who literally devoured（吞食） its defeated enemies after a battle. These people were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a word which came to refer, within a few years, to any eater of human flesh（食人部落,食人族）.In the similar fashion, the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region, came into English.
At times Columbus knew that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.
65. What is the best title for this text?
A. Sailing to Asia B. Columbus’ voyages C. West Indies D. Spice Islands
66. In the course of his four voyages, Columbus succeeded in .
A. finding China and the Spice Islands B. trading with many merchants
C. visiting several parts of Central and South America D. sailing to Asia
67. Columbus thought that .
A. others had sailed to Asia before him B. it was impossible to sail to Asia
C. the land he had found was not China or Japan
D. the geographers knew about the land he had found
68. The text implies that .
A. Columbus never realized the full meaning of his discovery
B. Columbus was disappointed with his voyages
C. there was no way to reach Asia from Europe at that time
D. Columbus found exactly what he had intended to
C
Compulsive（强迫的）shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress(苦恼).
“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as monomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr. Wilson said.
69. What is this article mostly about?
A. Signs of compulsive shopping. B. Studies of compulsive shopping.
C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.
D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson.
70. The underlined word“it”in the first paragraph most probably refers to .
A. compulsive eating B. a new psychological excuse
C. the study done by Blampied D. the behavior of wild shopping
71. Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?
A. Teaching them to manage their money better.
B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.
C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.
D. Treating them with right drugs.
72. When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they .
A. feel distressed after their wild shopping
B. feel better after treatment from psychologists
C. are better able to deal with stress problems
D. have a feeling of excitement after shopping
D
Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty (unpleasant) because of strong winds and sea spray(浪花). In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust（阵风）might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.
“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But...”
73. The underlined word “cycle” can be replaced by _____ .
A. ride by bike B. drive C. walk D. go by ship
74. We can infer that ______.
A. a lot of friends came to visit them in winter
B. few friends came to visit them in winter
C. friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals
D. Norah was a good cook
75. Which of the following is the best title?
A.A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea B.A Warm-hearted Couple
C.A Clever Way of Escaping D.A Visit to Norah
76. What is the hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end?
A. If I am tired, I say, “Sorry, can you come next time?”
B. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How lucky! I’ve just come in!”
C. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
D. If it is fine that day, I say, “I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place, anyhow.”

Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won't be for long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .
In Shantzis’ Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes . The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for un-recyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non-recyclables Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective. 77．The purpose in writing this text is _________. A．to encourage people to recycle their rubbish B．to introduce a recycling system for high rises C．to describe the use of computer technology in recycling D．to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises 78．When he says "You won't be for long" the writer means that _______. A．you'll soon be living in a cleaner building B．rubbish chutes will become out of date before long C．you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish D．it won't be long before you'll have to recycle your rubbish 79．Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ___________ A．lock the other floors' chute doors B．check if the container is full C．press the correct button D．break up the rubbish 80．The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________ A．it reduces the cost of recycling
B．it saves time and space C．it saves money for people living in high rises D．it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment

One possible version:
Saving Our City
It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be treated properly, otherwise it may cause problems. It may pollute the air and water. If people breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water, they may get ill.
Our city has begun to pay attention to the problem. For example, rubbish is sorted. Some rubbish, such as newspapers and glass, is recycled. The rest, which is believed to be harmful, is sent to a certain place and buried. Laws have been passed to protect the environment, so waste water should be and is treated before it is poured into rivers.
We've been trying, but there is still a long way to go. We should do our best to fight against pollution.

John liked to wear his hair very long. Some of his friends thought that it looked like a girl’s hair, but they never made jokes about it, because John was a big, strong young man, and he did not like jokes about his hair.
John always went to the barber’s twice a month to have his hair cut and washed. One day the barber said to him. “Wow, why don’t you let me cut most of this hair off and make your head clean? Nobody would recognize you if I did that, I am sure.”
John said nothing for a few seconds, and then he said, “Perhaps you are right — but I am sure that nobody would recognize you either if you did that to my hair.”
