阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. 
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle brought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. 
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,”The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 
56. What the grandfather was most worried about was           . 
A. the spread of the world war   B. the safety of his living two cousins

A. order for army service    B. train ticket for Europe
C. letter of rejection     D. note of warning

C
When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices（装置）tell the time—which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. 
But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others—apparently including some distinguished men of our time—are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £250.000 for a piece.
This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions—but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?
If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented(再投资) the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world. 
Watches are now classified as “investments”（投资）. A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly? £350, 000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15, 000 to  30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up-—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times. 
64. The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they__________. 
A. have other devices to tell the time   B. think watches too expensive
C. prefer to wear an iPod     D. hame no sense of time
65. It seems ridiculous to the writer that_______________. 
A. people dive 300 metres into the sea
B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones
C. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones
D. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell
66. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?
A. It targets rich people as its potential customers. 
B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors. 
C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. 
D. It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches. 
67. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Timex or Rolex?     B. My Childhood Timex
C. Watches? Not for Me!   D. Watches—a Valuable Collection
 D Ks5u
Find Which Direction Is South Ks5u
Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.  Ks5u
It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委
托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is.
You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the
ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The hun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.  Ks5u
Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its
shadow.  Ks5u
Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by
making a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.  Ks5u
Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.  Ks5u
Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.  Ks5u
Keep doing this until you have made several marks.  Ks5u
The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.  Ks5u
Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. That point is south of where you are.  Ks5u
Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.  Ks5u
68. To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because  Ks5u
A. it is not easy to find a proper stick   B. it is not easy to position the stick Ks5
C. it takes hours to make the marks  D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks 69.The passage would probably be most helpful to       .  Ks5u
A. those who draw maps           B. those who get lost Ks5u
C. those who make compasses       D. those who do experiments Ks5u
70. The author presents this passage by       .  Ks5u
A. telling an interesting story       
B. describing an activity in a lively way
C. testing an idea by reasoning      
D. introducing a practical method

71. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south? Ks5

六、作文范文
This year, in Chong qing , there are more than 10 thousand students who have not entered for the college entrance examination. There are a variety of reasons for their giving up the examination as follows.
First of all, many students come from the countryside and they lack money for further education at collage , Therefore, they have to quit it and go out to work ,Besides , many students think that even though they graduate from collage, they’ll have to face the serious situation of finding jobs. And some students don’t attach importance to their education, they think it useless and they are sceptical about the benefit from education.
As far as I’m concerned, students should try to pass the college entrance examination. Only by getting more knowledge at college, can they find a better job and provide more service for society
