Recently, my daughter reminded me of someone we saw at the train station a few years ago.
That day, my daughter and I were waiting for our train. We went to buy some drinks, and then we saw the old man. Dressed poorly, he was standing in front of the counter（柜台）while counting coins slowly to buy just one bottle of water. The businessman behind him said impatiently, "Hey! Can't you be quick Some of us have a train to catch!" Hearing this, the old man seemed to be very embarrassed, so he walked away quietly at once.
It was my turn. I bought our two drinks and the old man's water as well. We walked up to him and gave him the water with a smile. After walking away, my daughter complained, "Dad, the old man is so impolite. He didn't even say 'thank you' to us!" I told her that we did this not to get a "thank you" from other people. We just wanted to be nice.
Now, my daughter always reaches out to help people. She waves, makes eye contact and says "hi" to people on the street. She holds doors for people. She picks up things that other people drop.
When I mentioned this recently, she seemed surprised. I asked her why she was so kind all the time. She said, "Because it is just right to be that way." Then she added, "And because I see you do that all the time."

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said, "it's for Lilly."
I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she showed her love in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional（易动感情的）. But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found a letter inside the letter I sent to her, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
62.When did the writer begin to love her mother's desk

Most people have a favorite color，but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity（繁荣）. Red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear. In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger.Road signs and warning labels （标签）are often in red.In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death.In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals（葬礼） are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
66.In which country does the color yellow mean death
A. Britain. B. Egypt.
C. China. D. All eastern countries.
67.Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage
A. To introduce different colors in the world.
B. To choose a favorite color for readers.
C. To explain different cultures have different meanings to the same color.
D. To help advertisers decide the right colors in their advertisements.
68.Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
69.What would be the best title for the passage
A. Colors in Different Careers. B. The Meaning of Colors.
C. Colors Between China and Britain. D. Colors Around the World.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
70.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. A city of the future. B. A meeting In Songdo.
C. A plan to build a house. D. A report on public health.
71.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ______.
A. drive people out of cities B. control the world's population
C. develop his own company D. solve the cities' coming problems
72.Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Future Education B. Smart Cities
C. Government Services D. Famous companies

Lisa improved her balance on the second day and could ride a wave for a few seconds. She was crazy about it. Lisa spent the rest of her trip practicing daily and watching the more experienced surfers on the water.

Recently, my daughter reminded me of someone we saw at the train station a few years ago.
That day, my daughter and I were waiting for our train. We went to buy some drinks, and then we saw the old man. Dressed poorly, he was standing in front of the counter（柜台）while counting coins slowly to buy just one bottle of water. The businessman behind him said impatiently, "Hey! Can't you be quick Some of us have a train to catch!" Hearing this, the old man seemed to be very embarrassed, so he walked away quietly at once.
It was my turn. I bought our two drinks and the old man's water as well. We walked up to him and gave him the water with a smile. After walking away, my daughter complained, "Dad, the old man is so impolite. He didn't even say 'thank you' to us!" I told her that we did this not to get a "thank you" from other people. We just wanted to be nice.
Now, my daughter always reaches out to help people. She waves, makes eye contact and says "hi" to people on the street. She holds doors for people. She picks up things that other people drop.
When I mentioned this recently, she seemed surprised. I asked her why she was so kind all the time. She said, "Because it is just right to be that way." Then she added, "And because I see you do that all the time."

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said, "it's for Lilly."
I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she showed her love in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional（易动感情的）. But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found a letter inside the letter I sent to her, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

63.词义猜测题。根据第三段But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened.（但是作为一个年轻的女孩，我希望母亲和女儿之间进行心与心的交谈。它们从未发生过。）可知，作者想在母女之间谈心，但是没有实现，说明两人之间有鸿沟，可推测gulf意为"鸿沟"。故选C。
64.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段I cleaned the desk carefully and found a letter inside the letter I sent to her，folded and refolded many times.（我仔细清理了书桌，在我寄给她的信里发现了一封信，信被折叠了很多次。）可知，这封信被反复折叠，可推测信被妈妈反复阅读。故选B。

Most people have a favorite color，but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity（繁荣）. Red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear. In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger.Road signs and warning labels （标签）are often in red.In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death.In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals（葬礼） are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
66.In which country does the color yellow mean death
A. Britain. B. Egypt.
C. China. D. All eastern countries.
67.Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage
A. To introduce different colors in the world.
B. To choose a favorite color for readers.
C. To explain different cultures have different meanings to the same color.
D. To help advertisers decide the right colors in their advertisements.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
70.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. A city of the future. B. A meeting In Songdo.
C. A plan to build a house. D. A report on public health.
71.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ______.
A. drive people out of cities B. control the world's population
C. develop his own company D. solve the cities' coming problems
72.Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Future Education B. Smart Cities
C. Government Services D. Famous companies
【答案】A、D、B
【解析】【文章大意】文章讲述了未来智能城市的生活情况。
70. 根据第二段内容，结合One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system...可知，第二段以城市Songdo为例，说明了未来的生活，每个家庭都有一个远程遥控系统—允许用户控制暖气和锁，参加视频会议，接受教育、医疗和政府服务。在城市的周围，自动扶梯只有在有人在上面时才会移动，办公室和学校都将与系统相连。故选A。
71. 根据最后一段中so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out可知，丹希尔认为让城市变得更智能是解决城市未来问题的一种方式，故选D。
72. 根据文章第一段的开篇之句Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.（尽管这听起来有点离你有点远，但住在这样一个“聪明”的城市可能比你想象的要早。）可知，文章介绍的是未来的“智能”城市，故选B。

Lisa always wanted to learn how to surf, so she signed up for a beginner's class during her trip to Hawaii. On the first day, she found it difficult to stand on the board and fell off many times. Although feeling sad, Lisa decided to keep trying.
Lisa improved her balance on the second day and could ride a wave for a few seconds. She was crazy about it. Lisa spent the rest of her trip practicing daily and watching the more experienced surfers on the water.
Lisa rented (租) a board on her last day in Hawaii and headed out to the water by herself. She paddled (划) out to a place where the waves were bigger and waited for the perfect one to come along. When it did, Lisa paddled hard and felt the wave lift her up. She stood up on the board and rode the wave all the way. Lisa felt a sense of pride that she had never experienced before.
