• 1．I got my first driver's license （執(zhí)照） in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte，North Carolina．Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman．Henry and I were living in Baltimore，Maryland．Two weeks before my 20th birthday，Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon．When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21．"Mr．Henry Smith，your husband，will have to sign for you．"he said．
  I argued，pointing to a very large belly （肚子） of mine，"I am married．I am having a baby．Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive？"He answered coldly，"It's the law，madam"
  Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get the license and be done with it．"No，"I said．I refused to have him sign for me．So I left without a Maryland license．
  I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown．And thus it was for the next twelve years．Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license．By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam．Since then I just go in and renew every four years--sign the name Susan Brown，have my new picture taken，and walk out with a license to drive．

  ．
  A．when she was twenty years old
  B．before she got married to Henry
  C．a(chǎn)fter she finished high school
  D．when she just moved to Maryland
  （2）Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because

  ．
  A．she insisted on signing for herself
  B．she lacked driving experience in Maryland

• 2．About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son．After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled （注冊(cè)） my son in kindergarten．Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office．
     In the teacher's office，an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions "Is your son mentally retarded （弱智的）？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？"
     Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？No，no，it can't be．What a helpless lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead．I asked him why he was asking me all these questions．
     My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class．Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet？
     He was angry： "Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？
     No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied．I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language．Well，wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times？Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？"
     Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of "those people"．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left．
     As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over．He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures．He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted contented life．And he has benefited from being bilingual（雙語(yǔ)的）．
     Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others it teaches people about other cultures and other places--something very basic and obviously lacking in the "educator" I met in New Jersey．
  
  （1）The teacher asked the author to his office

  ．
  A．to discuss Scola s in-class performance
  B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
  C．to find a language partner for Scola
  D．to work out a study plan for Scola
  （2）What does the underlined word "disrupting" in Paragraph 4 probably mean

  ．
  A．Breaking．
  B．Following．
  C．Attending．
  D．Disturbing．
  （3）The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as

  ．
  A．critical
  B．casual
  C．positive
  D．passive
  （4）This text is likely to be selected from a book of

  
  A．medicine
  B．education
  C．geography
  D．history

• 3．Dust storms don't just happen in the middle of the desert．They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up．The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours．Smaller bits of particles （微粒） stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away．Dust from the Sahara is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps travelling as far as Caribbean．
     The scary thing about sandstorm is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10，000 feet （305 meters）．They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles per hour （40km）．Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding．
     Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way．Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust．The dust makes driving impossible．Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind．If you are in a car during a dust storm，remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights．
     In mild （輕微的） dust storms，it's still impossible to walk around although you wouldn't want to．You can't see anything because of the dust particles flying around．It's not just the dust you want to avoid．The wind carrying the dust will leave things as if they were just hit by a tornado．
     The best thing to do is find a safe place in a building．
  
  （1）What can we know from paragraph l？

  
  A．Sand blown into the air can float for months．
  B．Dust storms don't happen in the heart of the desert．
  C．Dust blown into the air can travel a very long distance．
  D．Smaller bits of particles stay in the air for only a few hours．
  （2）What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The speed of the wind．
  B．The harm of dust storms．
  C．The movement of dust．
  D．The power of dust storms．
  （3）What should a driver do when he is caught in a dust storm？

  
  A．Stop by the roadside．
  B．Slow down a little bit．
  C．Turn on the headlights．
  D．Drive along the side of the road．
  （4）Which of the following statement is TRUE when the dust storm is not strong？

  
  A．You should find a safe shelter．
  B．You can walk around as usual．
  C．There is no need to avoid dust．
  D．People can see everything clearly．

• 4．When Tom was growing up，other kids felt sorry for him．His parents always had him weeding the garden，carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers．But when Tom reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood friends．He had more job satisfaction，a better marriage and was healthier．Most of all，he was happier．Far happier．
     These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston．The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not． "Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，" said George Vaillant，the psychologist who made the discovery． "And because they felt good about themselves，others felt good about them．"
     Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail．Interviews were repeated at ages 25，31 and 47．Under Vaillant，the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores．Points were awarded for part-time jobs，housework，effort in school，and ability to deal with problems．
     The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp．Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people，five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed．The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out．
     Working-at any age-is important．Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility，independence，confidence and competence-the underpinnings （基礎(chǔ)） of emotional health．They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals．The most competent adults are those who know how to do this．Yet work isn't everything．As Tolstoy once said， "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love，to work for the person one loves and to love one's work．"
  
  （1）What do we know about Tom？

  
  A．He received little love from his family．
  B．He had few childhood friends
  C．He enjoyed his career and marriage．
  D．He was envied by others in his childhood．
  （2）Vaillant's team obtained their findings by

  ．
  A．recording the boys' effort in school
  B．comparing different sets of scores
  C．evaluating the men's mental health
  D．measuring the men's problem solving ability
  （3）What does the underlined word "sharp" probably mean in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Clear and definite
  B．Quick to react
  C．Having a thin edge
  D．Sudden and rapid
  （4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Competent adults know more about love than work．
  B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life．
  C．Love brings more joy to people than work does．
  D．Independence is the key to one's success．

• 5．There was a park near my home.But I didn't go there very often.Many people said there was nothing special.One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small.I walked quickly because there wasn't much to see.I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.（1）

  I found that the two paths were different from each other.
   The left one was wide and clean.There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path.Though the flowers weren't very beautiful，they made me feel good.I decided to take this path.But wait!I looked at the right one.The path didn't look nice.（2）

  Grass grew everywhere.For a long time I couldn't make up my mind.
     （3）

   Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park.Now I'd like to tell them that if they had followed the right way，they would have felt differently.But when I told them about what I had seen in the park，they just smiled at me without saying a word.I knew they didn't believe me.They couldn't even remember that path because it was so small.
     （5）

  Don't be afraid to choose a different path.You may get a big surprise!
  
  A.There is nothing that I want to see.
