C
I was twenty years old, and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office.
But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目錄) of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked through it, I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance companies and banks. Then I saw something that really caught my eye: “Singer” are also needed for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not, circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect occupation.
I enrolled (注冊) on the course, which to my parents’ great delight was free of charge. The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song. It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast. It was the hardest thing I have ever done—but also the most rewarding.

C. had never liked being in a teacher’s office
D. would not get a job until she was at least 45

D. almost always start their career in a law company
35. The part of the course the writer enjoyed the most was when .
A. she should sing a song with a fast beat
B. she should sign a song for the last lesson
C. her teacher sang a very sad song to the class
D. she realized that her parents didn’t have to pay
36. Which of the following best describes the writer?
A. A young woman who has found her ideal career.
B. A young deaf woman who wants to help the deaf.
C. A young woman who wants to be a businesswoman.
D. A young woman who wants to write songs for the deaf.

Experts know that a disaster is coming but they do not know when it will happen. They do know that it could cause a lot of damage. They think it will be worse than a hurricane. The disaster they are worried about is an earthquake.
There is a break in the earth’s crust (外殼). It is called the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is in California. Many earthquakes happen along the San Andreas Fault. In 1989 there was a big earthquake on the fault. The earthquake was called the “Loma Prieta Earthquake”. Many people were hurt or died. Many buildings were ruined. Lots of people lost their homes. Roads and bridges were also damaged.
A large earthquake could happen in Southern California. Many small earthquakes have happened in the last year. Earthquake experts think that a large earthquake will happen there soon. They think a big earthquake will happen in the next few years.
The S an Andreas Fault has many power lines stretched across it. There are water channels close to the earthquake fault. A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy energy and water supplies (供應(yīng)). Lots of people would be without power or water for weeks. Buildings that have not been built strong enough would be destroyed. Not all hospitals would be able to help people who were injured. Many people would die or be homeless.
People need to be prepared. They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens. Everyone in California should have a survival kit at home. The emergency kit (應(yīng)急箱) would include food and water. There should be medication and first aid supplies in the kit. A good survival kit will also have a portable radio, flashlights and spare batteries. All of the supplies in the kit should last at least 3 days.

A. All of the supplies in the emergency kit will last at most 3 days.
B. A large earthquake in Southern California would destroy food supplies.
C. A break in the earth’s crust in California is called the San Andreas Fault.
D. Lots of people would be without power or water for days after the earthquake.

Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange programme in France. I was 51 before I arrived here. But my host family is really nice. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has 52 ! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesn’t bother me like it used to.

For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I 54 it. You’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Also, it’s rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m getting used to things and don’t find them 55 any more. I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you’re having a good school year.

Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist, who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States. Born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a small town in Alabama, Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf, and blind. The illness Keller suffered (遭受) is a mystery to this day. Unable to see, or hear, Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends.
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other. Helen’s mother needed help for her anguished (痛苦的) child, which eventually led to Anne Sullivan, who was a recent graduate (畢業(yè)生) of the Perkins Institute for the Blind. The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students, and Sullivan was one of its star graduates. Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings, their friendship, and association (合作) lasted for 49 years.
Keller was determined to become educated, and to teach herself to communicate. After attending several schools, she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree. She became very well-known, and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues, including women’s suffrage (選舉權(quán)), and birth control. Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind. She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind.
On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States’ two highest civilian honours. In 1999, Keller was listed in Gallup’s Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century.

When Women Were “Ladies”
As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would d 66 of entering what was strictly a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were positive that no women could deal with a job outside her home. This was such a w 67 accepted idea that when the famous Brontë sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (偽裝) themselves by signing their books w 68 men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession (職業(yè)) open to women soon after 1800. But even so, that was not an e 69 profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to
a 70 women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became f 71 . Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the s 72 and still be “l(fā)adies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.
The i 73 of the typewriter (打字機) in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had slender (纖細(xì)的), quick f 74 , they learned to operate typewriter quickly and well. Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work.
By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even m 75 to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.

One possible version:
Recently, our class has done a survey on the hot topic “Football into the campus”. Here is the result.
Those who agree to the proposal think that football is considered as the No.1 sports all over the world. Besides, playing football can make students much healthier and stronger. Also, after-school activities will be more colourful.
Quite a few students are against the proposal. They think it dangerous for students to play football because they’ll easily get hurt. What’s more, some schools are so small that the students cannot find enough space to play football. And schools should also allow students to make choices according to their own interests.
In my opinion, “Football into the campus” offers us a good chance to do sports. If you love football, why not go to the playground and have a good time playing football with your classmates? And it is also great fun to watch your classmates playing and cheering them on.
