It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War. She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
54. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
A. The writer’s studies. B. The writer’s future job
C. Dinner plans D. Wars around the world
55. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother ____________.
A. doesn’t want the writer to major in English
B. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
C. gets along very well with the writer
D. doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea
56. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____________.
A. agrees B. shouts C.complains D. smiles
57. Which of following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?
A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.
B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.
D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
C
Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news interviewer with CCTV, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.
The 103-minute film was on websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She thinks that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.
To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.
In her film, Chai also emphasized (强调) that everyone can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transport. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In the film, when she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.
Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to take notice of the environment. This is what we need in the future.”
58. What is the main cause of smog according to Chai?
A. Setting off too many fireworks. B. Burning too much coal and oil.
C. Too many cars in big cities. D. Too many factories and companies.
59. Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog?
A. Using cleaner energy. B. Cleaning coal and oil.
C. Using public transport. D. Replacing coal with wind energy.
60. What can we tell from the story?
A. Only factories produce heavy smog. B. Only the government can control smog.
C. Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people. D. Living a green life can help reduce smog.
61. What’s Chen Jining’s attitude towards Chai’s film?
A. He didn’t watch it. B. He thought highly of it.
C. He disagreed with it. D. He disliked it.
D
Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits(限度) of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view now is held by most experts.
It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
62. How is man’s intelligence given?
A. At birth. B. Through education.
C. Both at birth and through education. D. Neither at birth nor through education.
63. What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?
A. The importance of their intelligence. B. The role of environment on intelligence.
C. The importance of their jobs. D. The part that birth plays.
64. What statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. No education can help make a genius.
B. Personality is as important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.
C. People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.
D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.
65. How does the writer make his idea clear?
A. By giving explanation. B. By giving an example.
C. By giving figures(数字). D. By giving suggestions.

Recently three kinds of foods are very popular in the United States.
Convenience Foods
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as soups and vegetables.
Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more money than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives(添加剂). Also they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Foods
In the 1960s, a “back to-the –earth” movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. Many people now prefer natural and organic(有机的) foods to the prepared foods sold in food stores.
Diet foods
These days Americans are more and more worried about their weight. American supermarkets sell different kinds of diet foods such as soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings(调味品). Each year lots of new diets are popularized. However, some of the diet foods are unbelievable. There are tricks in their advertisements.

Dear Mr. President,
I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think their living c 86 is terrible in China. I am writing to you to suggest w 87 we should do to help protect animals more.
I feel so s 88 for the giant panda. It’s one of the most popular animals in the world and as 89 of China. We’ve learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo. I think we should try to do more to p 90 people from destroying their forests.
Another animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator(扬子鳄). They live in some a 91 of eastern China, and now the water there isn’t c 92 enough for them to live in. The government should stop factories from p 93 the lakes and rivers.
If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more people may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important t 94 attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, e 95 some quieter places in the country.
I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.
Yours sincerely,
Huang Jing

Take action to realize our dreams
All of us have dreams, but how can we realize our dreams?
From the pictures, we know that Frank dreamed to become a doctor when he was 15 years old. However, 45 years later he still dreams to be a doctor lying in bed. It is clear that he lives in the dream without any actions. This is the reason why he has failed to realize his dream.
I also have a dream. I wish to work as an engineer when I grow up. I will study hard every day and improve my abilities to get ready for my future job, so that I can make my dream come true. (98 words)
