There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用) coffee”. There you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one, so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way, no-money people can still enjoy coffee.
Now, this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (劣势的) than us. On the other hand, some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also, how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?
This is really a trust issue. In fact it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.
But all in all, hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.
44. Who can enjoy suspended coffee in the country?
A. Every person. B. The rich. C. The old. D. The poor.
45. For suspended fast food which of the following do people worry about?
① Some are just out for a free lunch.
② Some people don't pay for the meals.
③ The restaurant owners don't give out the food.
④ There will be more and more homeless people.
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
46. What does the underlined words “trust issue” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是) ？
A. Eating habit. B. Honesty problem. C. Big decision. D. Clever idea.
47. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. We shouldn’t believe the beggar. B. We have to make sure who are homeless.
C. We can trust those enough to do the right thing. D. What is “suspended fast food”.
C
Some time ago I found that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any trouble in repairing it, for there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So one morning I carried the chair with me and left home. I went into the first shop and hoped to get a friendly welcome. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. I knew that I had to try another way. So I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.
I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds,” I said.
“OK. I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,” he said.
“It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I added.
“Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing,” the shopkeeper replied.
Everything was going as I planned and I was getting excited.
“What will you do with it?” I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell after the repair is done.”
“I’ll buy it,” I said.
“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” the man asked in surprise.
“Yes, I know. But I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” I answered.
“You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. He shouted, “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”
“You’re right,” I said, “And what would you say if I walk in and ask you to repair my chair?”
“I wouldn’t agree to do it. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Five pounds will be the cost,” the man answered.
What an amazing plan! Both of us laughed and made the deal happily.
48. What happened to the writer in the first shop?
A. He broke his leg. B. He had the chair repaired.
C. The shopkeeper didn’t agree to repair it at all. D. The shopkeeper bought his chair.
49. What does the underlined phrase “the penny dropped” in the passage mean?
A. The shopkeeper changed his mind. B. The shopkeeper agreed on the price.
C. The shopkeeper decided to help the writer. D. The shopkeeper found out the writer’s plan.
50. How much did the writer pay the shopkeeper at last?
A. 5 pounds. B. 7 pounds. C. 20 pounds. D. 27 pounds.
51. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The writer wanted to sell his chair for 20 pounds.
B. It was not easy to repair the writer’s broken chair.
C. The writer used his head and had his chair repaired at last.
D. The man in the first shop thought the chair was too old to repair.
D
If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three love the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies produce(生产) too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make correct decision (决定) by themselves, but the pink can affect(影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburm, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. "Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all." People forget that things change all the time," he says.“My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change." Turner explains (解释) that his 12-ycar-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore.“This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds. "It was until the 1940s that people didn't start dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys."
52.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

53.The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means _____________.
A.being soft and gentle B.being strong and powerful
C.being gentle but powerful D.being cute and beautiful
54.According to Grayson Turner, _____________.
A.parents needn't worry about pink toys B.all little kids love the color pink
C.pink has always been a color for girls D.his girls now like the color blue better
55.The writer wrote this passage to _____________.
A.explain why girls are interested in the color pink B.make parents less worried about the color pink
C.ask girls not to play with pink toys D.show people's different ideas about the color pink

There are many different types of birthday cards to choose from, and it is very important to send a card that the receiver will enjoy. It is a great way to know about his or her special day, especially if you cannot be there to help celebrate it in person. Even if you can't afford a present, in fact a card can be a gift in itself. 56
The most common birthday cards are the traditional paper birthday cards. 57 Others are blank (空白的) so the senders can write his or her own message. There are different kinds of cards from being very simple to very wonderful and the prices are different depending on the card you choose.

Another type of birthday card is one that is made of paper, but is musical, A sound chip is placed inside the card so that when the receiver opens it, the card plays the music. 60 . Some can play a great number of songs including those from popular singers. A similar card to the musical birthday card is one where the sender can record his or her own voice message to the receiver.
A. There are many sites which can send e-cards.
B. There are many types on the market for every person you can think of.
C. Sometimes, people just forget to send birthday cards.

One possible version:
I would like to tell you something about DIY. DIY stands for “do-it-yourself”. It’s an active way of living.
Many people like doing things themselves because it is interesting and they can get fun from it. Also, DIY can help people save money. They don’t need to spend much money buying things they can do or paying someone to do them.
DIY also has some problems. It can be dangerous. Sometimes, people may hurt themselves if they are careless. Besides, it usually takes more time.
People can learn to do DIY from teachers, parents or friends. They can also buy books about DIY and learn by themselves. They can take a course in DIY too.
I think people should be careful when they do things themselves. Using brain and hands more often is also a good way to help us be more creative.
