    When Susan White went back to high school a couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma.

    “I just wanted to learn more,” she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs. White recalled, “I said my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”

    She seems to have been right. As soon as she finishes a history course, Mrs. White will graduate next month. And when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.

    Mrs. White is 98 years old; and nobody has finished high school at an older age.

    Mrs. White dropped out of school (退学) in the 10th grade, but her ability to learn has obviously not been dulled(减弱) after she left school for 80 years. Since going back to her studies, she has kept up a straight record that is the highest possible.

    Now that she is about to get a diploma, Mrs. White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.

    “I don't like anyone dropping out of school,” she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations(后代) will have to know even more than we do in order to survive(生存).”

46. Mrs. White dropped out of school when she was about                 .

"The Chinese Dream" is a hot topic of this year. Many Chinese young people are inspired by the Chinese Dream. Everyone has their own dreams. They give us courage and confidence to keep us going through difficulties. Here are some advice on how to realize our beautiful dreams.

    Never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail from time to time, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our goals. Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms.

    Cooperation is also necessary. Everyone likes a person who is good at cooperating with others. Besides, in our society most problems can't be solved by one person alone. Cooperation is becoming one of the most important ways for people living in the developing society.

    At the same time, we should learn to examine our abilities because it helps us know our advantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. Then we may be confident enough to face challenges.

    Follow the suggestions above, and our dreams are sure to come true.

49. How many suggestions of making dreams come true are mentioned in this passage?

 A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

50. The underlined word "It" in the second paragraph refers to                 .

 A. never giving up our dreams B. our life

 C. a long journey D. learning from failure

51. Which is the best title for this passage?

 A. The Chinese Dream

 B. Cooperation is Necessary

 C. Examine Our Abilities

 D. Advice on How to Realize Our Beautiful Dreams

C

    You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? Do you know there is such a thing as "a banana person"? How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a "banana", he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.

    Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don't speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas(海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.

    But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People's Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous pop singer Leehom Wang (王力宏). Chinese people love him, especially young people. But he is an American citizen.

52. "ABCs" in this passage means                 .

 A. three English letters B. a kind of banana

 C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in China

53. Chinese in Western countries are called "banana persons" because         .

 A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside

 B. they think like Westerners but look like a Chinese

 C. they were born in China but go to study in America

 D. they like to eat bananas

54. Which of the sentences is WRONG about ABCs?

 A. They are Chinese citizens.  B. They are overseas Chinese.

 C. They may speak little Chinese.  D. ABCs may know little about China.

55. This passage mainly talks about                 .

 A. different kinds of bananas B. overseas Chinese

 C. the Nobel Prize D. the story of Leehom Wang

D

    What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects(建筑师) believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.

The tree house

    Many architects in the world would like to build a "tree house". Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The "root"(根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil(土壤) to the home's temperature.

The lizard house

    Like a lizard(蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Meals at home

    This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.

Learning from the past

    Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney(烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.

56. What is the best title of the passage?

 A. Green Houses of the Future B. Different Kinds of Houses

 C. The Greener, the Better D. How to Build Green Houses

57. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home                 .

 A. with the root of a leaf   B. with the energy from sunlight

 C. with the soil under the ground  D. with the tree built at home

58. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it's in the bright sun?

 A. It will turn white. B. It will produce energy.

 C. It will produce light. D. It will turn dark.

59. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future                 .

 A. will be more delicious B. need more cooks

 C. will be greener D. will be easy to cook

60. A chimney can be a useful air-conditioner but it used to cause                 .

 A. pollution B. accidents C. noise D. change

六、短文6选5（共5小题；共10分）

    What will life be like in the future? Will it be much better than it is now? Genetic engineering (基因工程) may help us make the perfect human. Babies may grow up to play basketball like Yao Ming. 61.                 Also, we may be able to bring the dead back to life. Maybe people will be able to meet and talk with their dead members.

    Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the differences between humans and machines. 62.                 We may appear to be alive long after we are dead. We may be able to find ways of putting the life of a person into a new body.

    Narobots(纳米机器人) will be important 63.                 For example, when we have a stomachache, we will take a narobot and it will travel through our stomachs, seeing what's happening there. 64.                 In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have less work to do. 65.                 Some will look like humans, and others might look like frogs or snakes. Before an earthquake, a frog robot could foretell(预告) it. After the earthquake, a snake robot could help look for anything under buildings.

    What will we be able to do in 20 or 30 years? Will our life be much better in the future?

 A. In this way, it helps the doctor cure(治愈) us.

 B. We may be able to copy ourselves.

 C. We will use them when we are sick.

 D. People may be interested in using computers and Internet.

 E. New robots will have many different shapes.

 F. And they may grow up to run faster than Liu Xiang.

七、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）

    Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you're good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aim in fife.

    Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course, they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.

    It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well. 

    It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work,forget it.

    It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your interests are.

 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

66. Is it possible to decide what you like without trying?

                                                                      67. To decide what to do in the future, which is more important, to find out what you like, or to find out what you don't like?

68. In which way is failing important to people?

                                                                      69. How can you find out your true interests?

70. What does it take to become a great pianist?
