A

The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.

Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself , from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.

56. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

A. man desires to explore what is unknown

B. man often goes wherever his dreams go

C. man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now

D. man's history is the exploration of the world

57. The word "manifold" in the second paragraph probably means ______.

A. vast B. various C. valuable D. practical

58. The author seems to be in favor of _____.

A. doubting the necessity of the space exploration B. the exploration of space

C. exploring more in space than in the sea D. his experience in space

C. that can be made use of D. helping us make further exploration

The college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.

Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.

More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.

Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students.

Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. They often go to school before 7:30 a.m.. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day.

The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-meter radius (范围) of all the test places to make sure the students have quiet surroundings.

Students are told their scores in December before they apply for (填报志愿) college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.

The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago.

Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this ,but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.

It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's .In the early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.

While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers （神经纤维）,their effect is certain .Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses（配偶）,friends and families.

What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Though many reasons other than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis（诊断）and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.

What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's disease ?A person will often go through the various stages of sadness ,shock ,anger ,and so on .If the spouse develops the disease ,you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.

Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses ,bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present ,facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

67. From the passage we know that ______ .

I'll never forget my first job interview. It was for a teaching position at an elementary school in my hometown.

I was very excited and scared, but I assumed I had an "in" because I knew many people in the district. I felt confident that the interview would be a breeze（轻而易举的事）.

I had prepared well for my interview. I had been practicing interview questions in front of my mirror for days. I wore my navy blue suit and took my portfolio（公文包） and examples of lessons I had taught during student teaching. There was no way I would not ace this interview.

After arriving at the school about a half an hour early, I waited anxiously in the office. The secretaries told me not to be nervous. "Just be yourself," they advised. When the time for my interview came, I was so nervous I didn't think I could answer any questions. Inside the interview room, five people sat at a round table: two teachers, two principals, and a member of the school board. I had been told there would only be three people at the interview, and was overwhelmed（制服，压倒） by the presence of additional interviewers.

Once the interviewers started asking questions, however, I answered with ease. Everyone smiled and we even joked. After they finished posing questions, the interviewers told me they would call me in two weeks. Two years later, I'm still waiting for the call! I eventually found out that _____________________________ that kept me from getting the job offer.

Dear editor,

I'm a middle school teacher. I'm writing this letter to tell you something.

Recently I've discovered that some of the students often go to the cyber cafes near our school. One day, I visited one and found something surprising. Most students were playing computer games, some were chatting, some were seeing films, and what's worse, some students were talking love on the screen, and some students were even watching something unhealthy on the Internet.

I don't think cyber cafes are the places for fun. We should do some useful surfing there. So I suggest that we should persuade the students not to do those things.

Yours,

Li Hua
