A

When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.

I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.

Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.

For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.

It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.

Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

A.Bedtime used to be the writer’s favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.

C.The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.

D.Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian.

57.The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.

A.he could understand her

B.he was a fashionable monkey

C.he could talk with her

D.he was her most honest listener

58.We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.

A.keeping stuffed animals is babyish

B.maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility

C.one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up

D.human beings should be kind to animals

59.We can infer from the text that _________.

A.the writer is still a teenager

B.the writer is now a middle-aged woman

C.Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone

D.Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft(草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

60.What can we learn from the text?

A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

B.People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

C.Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

D.Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

61.What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

A.Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

B.Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

C.Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

D.Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

62.Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

A.One of Tolkien’s students. B.Stanley Unwin’s son.

C.Allen & Unwin.  D.Bilbo Baggins.

63.What is mainly discussed in the text?

A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

B.A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

C.a famous professor at Oxford University.

D.The power of the magic ring.

64.Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?

a.He had his “The Hobbit” published.

b.He became a member of the lnklings.      c.He served in World WarⅠ

d.He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

e.His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

f.He moved to England to live with his aunt.

American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection(感染). Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid(氨基酸)called L-theanine. The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. That’s the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the body’s defenses.

First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens(抗原)found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria(细菌). Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.

In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.

Two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.

Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study. He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.

Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. If the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.

68.We may know from the text that ________ can be found in different kinds of tea.

A.Gamma delta T cells        B.L-theanine

C.interferon D.bacteria

69.Tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system because it helps ________.

A.the body to produce more interferon

B.the body to produce more gamma delta T cells

C.to add some bacteria to the blood cells

D.to mix antigens with some of the cells in the body

70.According to Dr Bukowski, ________.

A.the findings of the study have already proved to be true

B.he has taken some amino acid L-theanine from tea and made a drug with it

C.further study is needed to prove the findings true

D.he is not sure whether tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer

71.What would be the best title for this Text?

A.Tea Is Better Than Coffee.

B.Tea May Help Fight Infection

C.Tea Can Help Prevent Cancer.

D.Our Body Needs Tea

Maybe you never opened that account, but someone else did ——someone who used your name and personal information to commit fraud(造假). When an imposter uses your name, your credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own purpose –in short, when someone takes your personal information without your knowledge –it’s a crime, pure and simple.

The biggest problem is that you may not know your identity(身份)has been stolen until you notice that something’s wrong: you may get bills for a credit card account you never opened, your credit report may include debts you never knew you had, a billing cycle may pass without your receiving a statement, or you may see charges on your bills that you didn’t sign for, and even don’t know anything about.

If someone has stolen your identity, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) suggests that you take three actions immediately.

First, contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit offices. Tell them to flag your file with a fraud alert(警告)including a statement that creditors should get your permission before opening any new accounts in your name.

Then, ask the credit offices for copies of your credit reports. Credit offices must give you a free copy of your report if it is not correct because of fraud. Review your reports carefully to make sure no additional fraudulent accounts have been opened in your name or unauthorized(侵权的)changes made to your present accounts. In a few months, order new copies of your reports to check your corrections and changes, and to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.

72.What’s the subject discussed in the text?

A. What you should do if your credit card is stolen.

B.What you should do if your identity is stolen.

C. What an imposter always does to make money.

D.What the Federal Trade Commission is about.

73.What should you do first when you find your identity is stolen?

A.Inform creditors not to open any new accounts in your name without your permission.

B.Ask for copies of your credit reports and make sure no other frauds have been made.

C.Keep ordering new copies to check what you have already changed and corrected.

D.Always lock your ID card in your cupboard in case it should be stolen.

74.What is the most difficult thing for people to deal with identity frauds?

A.No measures can work on the billing cycle.

B.There is no strict law for this kind of behaviors.

C.It might be a long time before you realize that.

D.The FTC does nothing except for three suggestions.

75.Which is the least possible if a fraud has happened to you?

A.You may have debts in your credit card.

B.You may find charges on your bills unauthorized.

C.A new credit card may be opened in your name.

D.The fraud departments can find out the imposter right away.
