A
On Mother’s Day Americans exchange 150 million greeting cards, go out to restaurants more than any other day of the year and buy 10 million flowers. Yet Mother’s Day might never have become part of our calendar without the amazing efforts of one Anna Jarvis, a West Virginia schoolteacher.
Anna Jarvis was devoted to her mother, yet her mother’s death in May of 1905 left Anna filled with regrets. If only（要是……就好了）she had done more while her mother was still alive！ She searched for a way to honor her own mother and to encourage others, especially grown children, to express their love while their mothers were living. Then she remembered the local “Mother’s Friendship Day” that her mother had organized to reunite divided families after the Civil War, and her dream of a National Day to honor mothers and bring families together.
Anna talked to her friends, and wrote letters. The minister of her mother’s church held a special service to honor Anna’s mother, and mothers everywhere. Hundreds of people attended, and Anna gave carnations –her mother’s favorite flower to everyone, which started a Mother’s Day tradition that continues to this day.
In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to make Mother’s Day an official holiday. It spread across the country, and on May 9, 1914, President Wilson signed the proclamation (公告) starting Mother’s Day nationwide.
Actually, Mother’s Day celebrations of various kinds date back to ancient times, including a ceremony dedicated (专注的) to Rhea, Mother of the Ancient Greek Gods. Although Anna Jarvis was not the only one to work for Mother’s Day, it was her total dedication that made it a national event and a living proof to the power of one person’s devotion.
61.Anna Jarvis felt regretted after her mother’s death because _____ .
A. she had not met all her mother’s demands
B. she thought she had done less for her mother
C. she had been too impolite to her mother
D. she had not stayed with her mother longer
62. Anna’s mother’s dream was to ___.
A. set up Mother’s Friendship Day
B. show her true love to Anna in a way
C. set up a day nationwide to honor mothers
D. tell women to be good teachers
63. From the passage we can know that ___.
A. Mother’s Day was set up in Greek
B. few people did something for mothers in ancient times
C. the president didn’t support Mother’s Day at first
D. Anna got lots of support in honoring mothers
B
Wendy Gallegos writes “concer” on the board. One of her students raises her hand.
“Ms. Gallegos, you should have written ‘conocer’ instead,” she said, referring to the Spanish verb for “to know.”
Gallegos looks at the board, smiles and quickly erases（擦掉）her mistake.
“You see, I have taught you so well, you pick up on my mistakes,” she said with a laugh.
To Gallegos, the scene in her classroom is typical（特有的） of the children she teaches. Gallegos teaches high school Spanish. She became part of their lives and families for three years. She is willing to help her children succeed. After a couple of years, Gallegos’ class becomes like home. Gallegos’ Spanish class is taught mostly in English in sixth grade. By the time the students are eighth-graders, they are speaking fewer words of English and more of Spanish during the 50-minute classes.
“My goal is to get my kids to say something in Spanish every day,” she said, “I want them to be able to talk to me. That’s why I help them, I praise them, I recognize them when they do good work. And we have fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I am going to consider a different job.’’
If a student needs help, Gallegos offers the student a “lifesaver,” which is help from a classmate. The lifesaver gets a piece of candy as a reward. As the students said: “Gallegos’ class is anything but boring.” It is because of Gallegos’ efforts and determination that she is the teacher who they think is most deserving（值得）of one of Collier County’s Golden Apple Awards.
“I don’t teach a subject, I teach kids. This is what I was born to do,” Gallegos said.
64. The scene（情景）in Gallegos’ class is mentioned at the beginning of the passage to ____.
A. show Gallegos, as a teacher, makes a mistake
B. show her good teaching method in daily class
C. tell the relation between Gallegos and her students
D. point out the students’ impolite behavior
65. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that_____.
A. Gallegos likes her job very much
B. having fun is Gallegos’ goal
C. Gallegos is considering changing her job
D. teaching Spanish will not last long
66. What made Gallegos get Golden Apple Award?
A. Her interesting class.
B. Her determination in study.
C. Rewarding her students with prizes.
D. Her efforts made to teach kids.
67. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Spanish classes with fun
B. Golden Apple Awards
C. This is what I was born to do
D. How to get along with kids
C
Time Zones（时区）
Strange things happen to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided（划分）into twenty-four zones one hour apart（相差）.You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋)，your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west ,you set your clock back; traveling east , you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific（太平洋）, you cross the international（国际）date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins, when you cross the line, you change your calendar one full time day, backward or forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values（价值观念）that helped me grow into an adult.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.
I also learned from Steve that personal property（财产） is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
72. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.
B. The important lessons Mark learned in school.
C. Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage.
D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.
73. When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.
A. was surprised
B. felt frightened
C. was light-hearted
D. cried before her
74. From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.
A. had a shiny silver pen
B. respected his teacher
C. hated his father very much
D. once owned a small wooden dog
75. To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?
A. Respecting life.
B. Being responsible for one’s behavior.
C. Being honest.
D. Respecting others’ property

I had applied for the nuclear（核）submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a laI wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics, electronics, gunnery – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.
76. The passage suggests（表明）that ___.
A. the atmosphere of interviews between Admiral Rickover and the author was very serious
B. the author always did his best in doing everything
C. the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends
D. Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well
77. The author chose very carefully some topics to discuss with Admiral Rickover in the interview because __.
A. he knew very little about these subjects
B. he knew Admiral Rickover would like to discuss these topics with him
C. he thought he knew these topics very well
D. these topics had something to do with the job he wanted
78. The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___.
A. satisfied
B. completely wet
C. sad
D. excited
79. When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __.
A. he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy
B. he had 820 classmates
C. the class was very large
D. only 39 students stood in front of him
80. The author left the room without answering the interviewer’s final question because __
A. he forgot what he had learned at the Academy
