His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes mor

26、e commercialized (商業(yè)化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen .The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions

27、are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story : A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented,

28、“You have nice eyes and nice hair. ” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (騷擾). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do : The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several d

29、ays and dont see other children again.56. In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to _.A. businessmenB. political leadersC. organisers of the activitiesD. Santa Clauses57. The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is _.A. well-paidB. very hardC. worth doingD. dangerous58. According to the t

30、hird paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for _.A. doing something against the lawB. hanging around the dinner tableC. being lazy and sleeping in bed for daysD. not playing their roles as expected59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Christmas : Not a Good Festival for SantasB. Is

31、 Santa Claus Really Alive?C. A Christmas StoryD. What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?BWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What s

32、hould our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions (宗教) order us to be

33、 open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally(道德方面)right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give

34、to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(惡行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer

35、, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Som

36、e people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away th

37、e moral goodness of the giver.60. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people. B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver. D. Arguments on giving to beggars.61. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A.

38、People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We dont meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the governments duty to help the beggars.62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people

39、dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.63. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because_.A. the cases c

40、an be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wasted D. there are so many different argumentsCYOUR KIDS ARE AMAZINGespecially compared with everybody elses (who seem to cry all the time).

47、 gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates(種植園). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is impor

48、tant because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new

49、shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing(加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days

50、.Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves be

51、come soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment (發(fā)酵) under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea.

52、 The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.68. In the first paragraph, the word “pruning” means_.A. regular cutting of the plantsB

53、. frequent wateringC. regular use of chemicalsD. growing the plants high in the mountain69. One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that _.A. they work harder than men do in the pickingB. they can throw their pickings more easily into the basketsC. their fingers fit them bette

54、r for the job.D. they can more easily find the twin leaves.70. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.71. What is the writers purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce various methods of tea processing.B. To persuade readers to buy tea f

55、rom Sri Lanka.C. To tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens.D. To inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing.EDo you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies

56、 they belong to. In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis. In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together, go to school together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development. Regular contact (接觸) can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead to more natural re
