are True or False.
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limit: 4 minutes and 57 seconds
As my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time. I made my way to the luggage (行李) office to collect the suitcase (小型旅行箱). I took out my wallet to find the receipt (收据) for my case, but the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained this situation to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously (怀疑地) and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown object no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If the list was correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed, and I wrote them down.
After I had done this, I went to look among shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and, for one terrible moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked up the receipt,
he could have easily claimed (认领) the case already. This did not happen fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet, this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the \"lost\" receipt came out with it. I couldn't help blushing (脸红) and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen.

(Each item: 2)
Directions:Read the following passage. Then fill in the blanks to complete the
statements that follow the passage.
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage. Time limit: 4 minutes and 45 seconds
My holiday wish was to dance the \"Nutcracker\" ballet (《胡桃夹子》芭蕾舞). I was 12 years old and attended ballet school. Several children from our class were to be chosen to perform minor roles in a local company's holiday ballet. Everyone thought that star students like Anna or Isabella would be chosen. I wanted it to be me.
We had four weeks before the company came. I practiced every day at home and twice a week in class. I also read stories about famous ballerinas (芭蕾舞女). Every day I thought about the roles in the \"Nutcracker\". And every night I listened to its music.
Auditions (试演) arrived in the blink (眨眼) of an eye. I danced the best I could. But finally, the company director announced who had been chosen. I was not on the list.
A friend came over to me. \"Maria, you were an inch away from being picked,\" she said. \"But, I think Isabella might have done a little better than you on some moves.\"
\"Maybe next year,\" she said hopefully.
But I was doubtful. As I left, I turned around to stare at the girls who were chosen. They were laughing and talking happily to each other. \"I will not be jealous (嫉妒的) of them,\" I promised myself as I left the building.
That night, I lay in bed re-reading a book about Sara-Anne, a famous ballerina. The last chapter was called \"Try, Try Again\". It talked about how Sara-Anne became famous.
When I finished reading it, I realized I could not get upset over not getting chosen. If I tried again and again and did not give up, I would finally get to dance in a ballet.
66. The point of the story can be best described as ________________________.
67. Before the company came, the young girl did ________________________ at home.

not chosen.

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the
four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.
There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures,
animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.
In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.
Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.

Yukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.
Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open, and honest-though he still couldn't understand them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.
But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly, and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.
But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him. But Cindy doesn't speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Yukio to stay in New York City.

Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Friends play an important part in our lives. And while we may get along well with a number of people, we can only be friends with very few. The average student, for example, has about 6 friends.
Most people spend time with others they like, but still the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get along with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Many friends avoid argument. It is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs. They have attitudes and interests in common that they often talk about and they might think
of themselves being \"on the same wavelength\". It generally takes time to reach this point however. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another for favors and to keep promises. Also, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class, or race.
81. What is True according to the first paragraph
A. A person can only have a few real friends.
B. We should put things such as age, race, economic conditions, social positions, and intelligence in the first place when making friends. C. People whom we can get along well with are our friends. D. A student has six friends at most.
82. In Paragraph 3, \"being on the same wavelength\" means ______.
A. talking as fast as others B. having the same topic as others
C. having attitudes and interests in common D. having the same experiences and emotions
83. The word \" intimately\" in Paragraph 3 perhaps means______.
A. far away B. closely C. well D. in distance
84. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Even friends may have difference of opinion. B. Friends never argue with each other. C. It takes time to become good friends.
D. Shared experiences can make for a strong friendship.
85. To strengthen friendly relationships, people______.
A. should have the same age, class, and race B. should get rid of the annoying habits C. should support and understand each other D. should hold friendship ceremonies
Questions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Ms. Ebert kept a little bakery (面包房) on the corner. Two or three times a week, she had a customer in whom she began to take an interest. He was a middle-aged man with glasses and a brown beard. He spoke English with a strong German accent. His clothes were worn and wrinkled (有皱褶的), but he looked neat and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale (不新鲜的) bread. He never asked for anything but stale bread; it cost a
lot less than fresh bread.
Once Ms. Ebert noticed a red and brown stain (污点) on his fingers. She was sure that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic, where he painted pictures and ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in the bakery.
Often when Ms. Ebert sat down to her evening meal, she would sigh (叹气) and wish the artist might share her food instead of eating his dry bread.
One day the customer came in as usual and asked for his stale bread. As the sudden noise of a fire engine (消防车) made him hurry to the door, Ms. Ebert seized her opportunity. She cut each of the loaves with a knife, put in some butter and, when the customer turned round, she had already put them into a paper bag. When the customer left the store, she felt somewhat comforted.
86. What can we know about the man from the first paragraph
A. He was neatly dressed. B. He was an Englishman. C. He had good manners. D. He liked stale bread.
