28、 in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mo

29、rris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on Judy'. Theyldfen sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was c

30、oming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The ne ws didn ' t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn ' t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at fir

31、st. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn ' t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I ' m worried about my motherhas been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honestAndrew and my mother have nev

32、er got on well. Wd ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I ' ve heard that MMorris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was me

33、ntioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she ' s still living alone and I' m still living in the basement room61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a relative

38、Aged .Passage TwoOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossing

39、s. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is h

40、eld up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risk

41、ing their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young,

42、 should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city

43、.C. Taller trucks can pass under them.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they save money for the government.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they prevent traffic from bei

44、ng held up.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of bi

45、g cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.69. The underlined words a zebra crossing" probably mean.A. a safe place across a road for old people to rest inB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a s

46、afe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road 70. What is the writer ' s attitude towards overhead bridges? A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. To build overhead bridges is the business

47、 of the governmentC. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up an

48、d offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone

49、when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you ' re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women aanferiors (能力低

50、下的人)unable to open door for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she' ll probably insiston paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts, perhaps that ' s nosuch a bad idea.It's no wonder that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which th

51、ey used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (man) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can seewomen as equal human beings.Maybe that's worth standing in the bus or train.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded

52、 bus or train, a gentleman would probably.A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaper C. look out of the window D. not stand up and offer her his seat 72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train is. A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD.entirely wrong73. The ne

53、w generation of women wants to be.A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT correct?A. Some women may get angry of you open the door for them.B. Girls don't

54、want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that.A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some pol

55、iteness they used to show to women C. women often get angry if you 're polite to them D. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage FourFamily "is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of“ family “ in its narr

56、ow, peculiarly European sense of mother,father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family-hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and t

57、he woman, marriage means leaving one' s parents and starting oneown life. The man ' s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife' s to her husband. He wientirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and t heirs alone. Neither the wife' s plaeents norhusband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with th
