A
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning,a middle,and an endwith commercials （商业广告） thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. \"Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.\"\"Drink Good Wet Root Beer.\"\"Fill up with Pacific Gas.\"Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of \"You Need It! Buy It Now!\"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring,the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrest with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit. 56.According to the passage,what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A.Buses on the road. B.Films on television.
C. Gas stations.. D. .Advertisements on the billboards. 57.What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
B. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips. C.To explain how bus trips and television shows differ. D.To describe the billboards along the road.
58.The writer of this passage would probably favor ______.
A.bus drivers who aren’t reckless B.no billboards along the road
C.a television set on the bus D. driving alone
59.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ______.
A.they both have a beginning,a middle,and an end,with commercials in between B.the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun C.the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses D.both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
60.The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are_____. A.comfortable B.tiring C.exciting D.boring

Life comes in a package．This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to handle various situations．
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could go Hayward（不归路） and also become cruel and ferocious．In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care，they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness．No mind is happy without peace．We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair．But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money，fame，pride and self-respect．Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder．The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble，modest，courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones. Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day．Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.
“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown
said.
66.We can learn from the first paragraph that________.
A．people might drive a car-plane in 2012 B.car-planes will be popular in 2012
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts 67.It takes the car-plane one minute to________.
A．fold and unfold its wings B meet flying safety regulations C．land in the airport D．unfold wings for flying 68.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land. B．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
C．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA. D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
69.The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________. A．the radio B．the transponder C．the full-plane parachute D． the GPS
70.What’s the best title for the passage? A .Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane B.Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car-Plane? C.A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly
D.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner

After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American，a new study finds．That's one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America．
The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being questioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes，such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches．In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories，including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat（饱和脂肪）.
\"People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in，\"said Sauna Cheryan，an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington.\" If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives，this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health.\" Cheryan added． Social pressures，the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem．\"In American society today, being American is associated with being white．Americans，who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English，feel that pressure to prove that they're American,\" said Cheryan．
71. The author wants to show that __________.
A. immigrants tend to eat American junk food to fit in B. more and more Asians enjoy high-calorie snacks C. most Americans are at the risk of heart disease D. all the American people have a bad eating habit 72. According to the survey, __________.
A. Asian-Americans care less about their health B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food
C. immigrants are forced to eat junk food
D. choosing food is related to Asian-Americans' situation
73. The underlined word \"fare\" in Paragraph 3 most probably means\" __________\". A. a person taking a taxi B. food offered as a meal C. money spent on food D. an arranged thing to do 74. According to Sauna Cheryan, __________. A. what immigrants have done is ridiculous B. immigrants risk their health in order to fit in C. American traditional foods are healthier D. American culture affects immigrants deeply
75. Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit? A. The pressures from society. B. The traditional culture. C. The American government. D. The situation of employment. 第四部分：书面表达（满分25分）
