【題目】 In the age of digital printing (數(shù)字印刷), almost all newspapers articles are typed with computers. But The Musalman, the oldest Urdu-language daily newspaper in India, is still being published as the world’s l【1】 hand-written newspaper.

The newspaper has four pages. The front page is for national and international news. The second and the third pages are for local news. The fourth page is for sports news. Some s【2】 is left blank at the bottom right corner of the front page, in case there is breaking news.

Every day, it takes three calligraphers (書法家) three hours to write a page before the paper is printed and sent to its 21,000 readers. These calligraphers must be very c【3】 not to make any writing mistakes, because even a small mistake can lead to a whole page being rewritten.

The newspaper makes so l【4】 money that costs are hardly covered. But for Syed Arifullah, who took over the newspaper from his father, it is his duty to keep the paper alive as a way to protect the Urdu language and especially its calligraphy. He says that calligraphy is the heart of The Musalman, and if someone removes the heart of the paper, there will be n【5】 left.

People working for the newspaper also feel very p【6】 to be part of it. They are really devoted to (致力于) their work and believe that their work helps preserve a dying art.

First published in 1927, the newspaper is l【7】 to exist for another 90 years. Let’s wait and see.

【題目】America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while— then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be___________Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

【2】From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend，we will probably be ______.

A.warmly welcomed at the airport

B.offered a ride to his home

C.treated hospitably at his home

D.treated to dinner in a restaurant

【3】The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.

A.strict with timeB.willing to spend time

C.careful with timeD.serious with time

【4】A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

A.Friendships between Chinese

B.Friendships between Americans

C.Americans’hospitality

D.Americans’and Chinese’s views of friendships

【題目】 In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo— a joyous zoo. Not surprising. I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember little steps add up to big dreams.

【1】When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.

A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor

【2】The underlined expression “withdraw from college” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A. quit collegeB. graduate from college

C. start collegeD. leave for college

【3】Why did the author withdraw from school in her second year of college?

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

【4】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.

C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.

【5】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-minded.
