Shopping in the United States changes a lot.About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family.Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.
Then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born.In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.
The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof.Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular.The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping.If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee.Malls are places for teenagers to hang out.Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends.
The recent change in American shopping was the superstore.Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States.Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.
Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close.They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.
And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States.People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet.Online shopping has lots of advantages.For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day.Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores.While, online shopping also has its disadvantages.People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store.And privacy of personal information may be let out.
56.Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
①small stores ②superstores ③shopping malls ④shopping online
⑤supermarkets
A.①②③④⑤ B.①⑤②③④
C.①⑤③②④ D.②③④①⑤
57.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
A.Shopping malls. B.Small stores.
C.Supermarkets. D.Superstores.
58.Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
A.Because they are built near small towns.
B.Because they are across the United States.
C.Because they sell all kinds of products people need.
D.Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price.
59.What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?
A.Wasting time. B.Leaking personal information.
C.Fixed prices. D.No chance to do physical activities

With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills (泄露) on people, nature, and the environment.
Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil.Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.
Of all of today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious.Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material.In the end, it breaks down naturally.There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term.
Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible.In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean.If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.
Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage.Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run I
We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil.Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power (太陽能) , electricity, hydrogen, and so on.Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal.
If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient (高效的)—and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient ?we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year.If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too.
63.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Oil spills pollution. B.What oil pollution is.
C.Oil tanker accidents. D.How to reduce oil pollution.
64.How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?
A.By giving a description. B.By making an argument.
C.By giving an example. D.By drawing a diagram.
65.What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Transportation depending more on oil.
B.Poisonous oil breaking down naturally.
C.Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea.
D.More environmental damage being caused.
66.Which suggestion, is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?
A.We should build safer tankers in the near future.
B.We should develop new technologies to cut oil use.
C.Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines.
D.Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea.

Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete.Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.If the clone was free of genetic limitations.then the other clone would be as well.The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term.Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can't get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ (s).It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life.There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development—the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment.Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance.Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear.Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven't 100 per cent.guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool".
Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent to me personally.We should rather try to look at all "shades" of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans.Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life".I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women.
B.A large number of genes will prevent us from developing.
C.Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists.
D.First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists.
68.What's the author's opinion on cloning?
A.Cloning should be entirely banned.
B.Cloning should be used in creating life.
C.Cloning will take away the right to reproduce.
D.Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.
69.Where can you read this article?
A.In a story book.
B.In a magazine.
C.In a science fiction.
D.In a brochure.
70.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street.In his hand is a black leather bag.Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms. 71
Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student.On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting.They are the two village officials.They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls. 72 ? "It’s a pity but it doesn't matter." says Zeng, who wastes no time in deciding to look for the remaining child, Su Qiuju.

二、One possible version:
In the picture we can see a boy climbing a platform.He is taking great trouble to reach, die top of the stairs, ignoring the comparatively lower stairs beside him.
The picture reminds me of those who dream of achieving great success every day.They are so eager to succeed that they hope to get to their destinations as quickly as possible.They don't realize there are longer but safer ways for them to make it.As a result, they may seem rather close to their goals, but the fact is on the contrary.
In my opinion, we should focus on the process of fighting fop success.As long as every step is proper, sooner or later we will gain what we long for.
