阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
My mother seemed to be able to make dolls (洋娃娃) out of anything. She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 26 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 27 like the one our rich cousin had. Her doll 28 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 29 stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.
However, my dream 30 came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business trip with three 31 dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin’s doll and their eyes were just painted ones, but I did not 32 such differences. They were 33 "store-bought" dolls. We each chose one and I named 34 Misako.
Soon my sisters and I became devoted 35. Our "children" kept us 36 all day. We gave them a bath, 47 them, brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them to bed. Several months later, they got more like real children — their 38 and bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
But, by then, 39 interests seemed to have moved into 40 toys. Their dolls were abandoned (被抛弃) and in bad condition. One had 41 one of her arms, and 42 was one-legged. "You can 43 them if you want," my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 44 dolls. They were more or less handicapped (残疾) and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 45 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed — being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.

A
Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock（闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.
In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there.

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer.
Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar tings are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.
56. According to this passage, we can know      .
  A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
  B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
  C. cancer was discovered in 1945
  D. science has made food unfit to eat
57. Things that are used to keep colours in meats are      .
  A. harmful      B. useless        C. helpless         D. dangerous
58. All the additives      .
  A. are bright and colourless             B. are not bright and colourful
  C. have indirect effects on our health      D. have direct effects on our health
59. People use additives      .
  A. to make food more unfit to eat     B. to improve the colour and taste of the food
  C. to change colour of the food        D. to take off the diseases of the food
60. Which of the following is not true?
  A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.
  B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
  C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.
  D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.
D
At first, the earth’s surface layer（层）was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, there rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebble（卵石）and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.
There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack（裂缝）in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.
The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.
The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.
61. According to the passage, soil      .
  A. forms very slowly              B. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand
  C. make up the layers of the earth    D. is becoming smaller and smaller
62. How many factors are mentioned in helping the forming of soil?
  A. Three.       B. Four.       C. Five.      D. More than five.
63. Which of the following speeds up the breaks of rocks most?
  A. Hot weather.                     B. Cold water.
  C. Sharp changes in temperature.       D. More dead plants in the cracks.
64. Which of the following is NOT true?
  A. The remains of many plants of animals formed soil.
  B. If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.
  C. Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.
  D. Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks
65. The best title for this passage should be      .
  A. Soil from Rocks           B. Ways to Break up Rocks
  C. Soil on the Earth           D. Soil, Outmost Layer of the Earth

One possible version:
Dear Wang Peng,
   Here is good news for you! An English movie called Uncle Tom’s Cabin will be shown in my school on March 17. It’s a great movie. Don’t be afraid that you might not understand the story because there are subtitles and there will be native English speakers ready to help you, too. Besides, free popcorn and soft drinks will be offered. The event is organized by the English Corner in my school. I think it’s a great chance to learn English and to make new friends, too. The movie will be shown from 3:30 to 5:30 at the Lecture Hall. If you come, I’ll meet you at the school gate at 3:20.
 I’m looking forward to your reply. Best wishes!
                                                          Yours,
                                                         Li Hua
