There is no doubt that people and even highly educated adults vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading.

A great reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or 52 light reading matters. He may be able to
A type of reading which requires careful attention to 60 is proofreading(校对), in which the reader, in order to 61 misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to 62 such details. In fact, extreme practice is required to practice this task 63 and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively 64 attention to the general meaning on the text.

I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994.but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday. “Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together any more and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn’t afford all the necessary medicine for him because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life .
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone. Even me, he didn’t want to call attention to AIDS.
68. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?
A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
C. He worked hard to pay for his medication. D. He told no one about his disease.
69. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A. Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher. B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson. D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher’s words.
70. Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret?
A. She was afraid of being looked down upon. B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
C. She found no one willing to listen to her. D. She wanted to obey her mother.
71. Why did Kerrel write the passage?
A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father. B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS. D. To remember her father.
(C)
Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, right? It shouldn't. Even when the bottles are recycled，there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled water，says Melissa Peffers，the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense.
The containers are often filled in faraway lands，then shipped from abroad，and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap，filling a glass，and drinking up！
Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided，says Peffers，“Most bottled water is just tap water.”And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is astonishing that
“My parents' generation never had bottled water，”says Isabelle Silverman，an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free.“You don't need to fetch it home from the store，and it's cheaper，”she adds.
Bottled water's role as a status symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers“And what's your drink?”that's no reason to forget your conviction(信念).“Don't be afraid to say,‘I'll have tap.’Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you，”Peffers says,“And then spend that money on a dessert.”
72. In the first paragraph, the underlined sentence “It shouldn’t.”suggests that people_____
A. shouldn’t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle
B. shouldn’t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H2O
C. shouldn’t be content with just recycling empty bottles
D. shouldn’t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water
73. According to the author，tap water is________
A. as safe as bottled water B. more likely to be polluted
C. healthier than bottled water D. less convenient than bottled water
74. The underlined part “going bottle free” (in Para.4)means “________”
A. making bottled water free B. abandoning bottled water
C. recycling used water bottles D. providing free water containers
75. Why does Peffers ask people to say “I’ll have tap” loudly?
A.TO encourage them to set an example for others to follow
B.TO advise them to save the money for one more dessert
C.TO remind them to be aware of their social status
D.TO persuade them to speak confidently in public
(D)
Hunting
The days of the hunter are almost over in
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it clearly and on the animal’s own territory(领地). You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing – not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger—shoots I have seen. in which modern weapons were used. The so—called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
76. There is no more hunting in
A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals D. there are few animals left to hunt
77. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.
A. to make the countryside safe B. to earn people’s admiration
C. to gain power and influence D. to improve their health
78. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A. They hunt old animals B. They mistreat animals
C. They hunt for food D. They hunt for money
79. What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D. Modern hunters should put their safety first
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A．An online shopper’s fear of insecurity
B．The functions of the Internet --- a debatable issue
C．The great influence of the Internet on people’s lives
D．Positive effects of the Internet
E．The inconvenience caused by the disorganized database
F．The abnormal relationship between Internet users
Computers may never offer a perfect system for work and communications. Yet, in spite of the bugs that need to be worked out, there is no question that computers now shape the pattern of our activities. Almost everyone has felt the impact of change as the Internet has revolutionized the way we do things: from the way we run our daily errand to the way we relate to other human being.
With the Internet, we can now get to information, products, and friends more quickly. With a few clicks of the mouse, we can do research on specific subjects that might have taken hours or days in a library. With online shopping, we can buy what we need more quickly and efficiently. With e-mail, we can maintain friendships as well as create new ones, without ever sitting down to write or post a letter. The Internet now binds more people around the world together through their common interests. For example, many people participate in Internet “chat”. There are informal discussions in which people type their questions and answers to each other on the computer. And unlike spoken conversations, “chat” can involve hundreds of people --- all of whom are interested in the topic being discussed. The Internet has created a new kind of social life.
But not everyone feels the Internet is improving our lives. The Web is messy in that it cannot always provided clear directions on how to get where we want to go. And the Web is not an organized database; rather it is a brier patch, where people can get stuck or lost. Online shopping is an example of this mess. Although shopping from home is appealing, e-commerce is not always as convenient as one might think. Sometimes it takes a long time to order on the Internet. People can waste time to get confused filling out information on all the different screens to place an order.
Most importantly, many people are concerned about privacy issues. They are reluctant to put their personal information on the Web. Filling in information such as one’s name, address, phone number, and credit card information can shake the confidence of an online shopper. Some even fear that there is conspiracy among businesses to use consumer information for their own benefit.
Perhaps even more troubling is the belief that as people spend more time surfing the Web, they are becoming socially isolated. A recent survey indicated that 16 percent of Internet users spend less time with family and friends. The amount of time a husband or wife spends on the Web is frequently considered as one cause for divorce. Many young people say that their closest friends are those they have communicated with on the Internet, that is, their closest friends are people they have never even met.

V. Guided Writing
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to mirror some problems I run into recently and hope that the service industry will be a little improved.
This weekend I got an English-English dictionary in a bookstore near my school for its cover is well designed. But when I went home and turned the page, I found that the several pages of the dictionary had been cracked and damaged. What is the matter, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously disturbed my comprehension. With such damage and misprints to the dictionary, I went back to the bookstore to ask for a change. But to my great surprise, the assistant of the bookstore refused my request and even denied admitting the poor quality of the dictionary.
It goes without saying that today’s market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, many of the commercials fail to meet this standard and the quality of the stuff needs to be improved. It’s obvious that the poor quality of the businessmen in the service industry will not only deeply discourage customers but also block the development of the economy. As a result, with much hope for your newspaper to remind the service industry of attaching more importance to the service promotion, I write to you.
With best regards!
Yours sincerely,
John Hans
