阅读下列内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get
better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while
people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make
people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting
education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of
education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living. People don’t need to
spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time.
Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and
mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is
much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to
teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other
abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of
human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to
be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an
interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but
certainly not the most important or the main reason.
51.People with little education usually .
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job

A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
53.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ “ in Chinese.
圆满的
崭新的
C．公平的
D．全面的
54.It is expected that educated people will be able to .
A. accepted education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
E. 55.The passage mainly tells us that .
A. education is mainly for improving a man
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
B
Dream culture is an important part of ancient Chinese culture.
Dream interpreting（理解）is popular in China, and the most famous
reference for dream interpreting is the book of Duke of Zhou
Interprets Dreams.
Ancient Chinese people thought that dreams could suggest lucky and unlucky things.
Since different dreams have different meanings, people can get meanings of good or
bad luck by interpreting them. Actually, dream interpreting is not totally a superstition. It
does have some scientific value.
● Dreams are the reflection of the facts. Many dreams are actually something about
what happened in the daytime. This kind of dream can be easily understood without
dream interpreting.
● Dreams are the body’s self-implication ( 自我暗示). Traditional Chinese medical
science says that dreams are connected with the health condition of humans’ bodies.
When Yin and Yang are imbalanced, dreams come into being. If someone dreamt that he
or she was roasted by a big fire, it shows he or she might easily get angry or nervous.
● Dreams are usually different from the facts. It means that things will develop in the
opposite direction when they become worse.
To some degree, Duke of Zhou Interprets dreams is scientifically reasonable. Over
thousands of years has passed, the book still has many secrets waiting for us to explore.
56.According to the passage, dream culture .
A. is important in ancient Chinese culture
B. is unimportant in foreign culture
C. has no scientific value
D. is something about God
57.In the old days, Chinese people thought that dreams .
A. were very popular
B. could suggest lucky and unlucky things
C. couldn’t be interpreted
D. were always different from the facts
58.The underlined word “superstition” means “ ” in Chinese.
A. 科学
B. 预兆
C. 梦魇
D. 迷信
59.If you dream that you are roasted by a big fire, maybe you are
A. excited
B. relaxed
C．nervous
D．bored
60.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams is a book about dream interpreting.
B. When Yin and Yang are not balanced, you dream easily.
C. Dreams sometimes are the opposite of the facts.
D. There are no secrets in the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on
Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to
drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the
Romans would win.
One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest
here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or
we will die.”

four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly
they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they
came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war
would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his
sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle.
The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved
their country.

How to Deal with the Exam Stress
Everyone may have the exam stress. A little bit of stress can be a good thing to us. If we
have proper stress, we can think actively and work harder. Besides, it can remind us to
go over (review) our lessons on time to remember them. So we can pass the exam easily.
However, if we have too heavy/much stress, we can’t sleep well at night and we may
feel too tired or sleepy in class. We may fear/be afraid of exams too much and fail in
the end.
In my opinion, to deal with stress, we’d better plan and prepare everything well. We
should also form some good habits, such as enough exercise and healthy diets. Then we’ll
feel relaxed and do well in exams. (108words)
