Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.56. The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their ____.A. four daughtersB. five daughtersC. son and four daughtersD. son and five daughters57.

Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV”and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “against human rights and civilization”.60.

As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively taking part in the lesson. I find that creativity(创新) can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency(流利程度).Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholars in arts, psychology(心理学), business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate(applicable to the situation ) ”. This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly. Mot scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c”creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways.68. The underlined words “waiting for the bell” in the first paragraph probably means____.A. longing for a phone callB. hoping to have a bellC. expecting the end of the classD. wanting to speak in the class69. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thought the exercises in the book were ____.A. popularB. usefulC. scientificD. creative70. When you use a familiar word in a new way, you are ____.A. creative in the sense of big “C” creativity.B. creative in the sense of small “c” creativity.C. not creative in the sense of big “C” creativity.D. not creative in the sense of small “c” creativity.71.

It is expected to carry 20,000trucks and cars a day, which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the center of the city. As part of the project, twofour-kilometer road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city, one for traffic to the north and the other for the traffic tothe south. The two tunnels are about 20 meters below the surface and are 12 meters wide, providing for two lanes of traffic in eachdirection.In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel. The lighting is at the top of the tunnel, practically at its highest point. There will also be electronic signs at frequent intervals(间隔). They show traffic conditions ahead and can be seen clearly by drivers. The wall is made up of four main elements,which include a waterproofing covering and, on the inside of the tunnel, a concrete lining(混凝土衬砌).Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat. Thesurface of the road lies on the base, which is made of concrete and steel. The drainagesystem(排水系统), just below the road surface on one side, removes any extra liquid,particularly water. In the event of fire, the fire main, which is made of steel, pipes water tomany fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel. The fire main isat the side of the tunnel and at the level of the road surface. Other systems in the tunnel willinclude emergency phones.72.
