阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions.And a story can be told  about each of them.Hot is a simple,easily understood word.So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot.But not always,as we shall see.
[2]The words hot potato,for example,give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression,hot potato.The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes.Imagine trying to carry a hot potato in your hand.It would be difficult,even painful to do so.Some publicly argued problems are highly emotional.The problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them.One such hot potato is taxes.Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician.And yet,if taxes are not raised,some very popular government programs could be cut.And that also can make a politician very unpopular.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
[3]Another expression is not so hot.If you ask someone how she feels,she may answer“not so hot."What she means is that she does not feel well.Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something.You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot.That means_____________.
[4]A hot shot is a person,often a young person,who thinks he can do anything.He is very sure he can succeed.But often he fails.The expression was born in the military forces.A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger.A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead.An angry person’s neck often becomes red.We say he is hot under the collar.

B  
There was a Roman general in the 3rd century BC named Regulus who always kept his word. This fact was well known even to Rome’s enemy—Cathage. Once, he lost a battle and was taken prisoner and sent to a Carthage prison for a period of time. Finally, his captors came to him with an offer, which they hoped would cause the Romans to give in, thus ending the war.
They asked General Regulus to go back to Rome. They wanted him to tell the Romans that Carthage was winning the war and it was useless for Rome to continue fighting. They also said that if he refused to do as they asked, he would have to sail back to Cathage and serve as a prisoner of war in their prison. Since General Regulus was a man of honor, they knew he would keep his word and return to Carthage.
Regulus set sail for Rome and on his arrival, he was immediately taken to the authorities (当局). He knew how the war was progressing from the enemy"s point of view. He told the Romans that they should not give up but continue fighting, as it would only be a matter of time until Rome would win the battle over Carthage. So the Romans decided to continue the war effort. Large groups of soldiers were sent to battle due to General Regulus" suggestion.
Regulus went home to see his wife and his children but only for a short time. With deep sorrow, he informed them that he had given his word that he would return to Carthage and to his prison. Though they wished he would stay, his family knew that he must keep his word and return. He returned to Carthage as promised but Rome soon won the war.
60. This passage mainly tells us that General Regulus was____.
A. a determined man                             B. a man of his word
C. loyal to his homeland                          D. a patient man
61. The underlined word “captors" (in Paragraph 1) probably refers to “____”.    
A. people who are taken prisoners             B. people who have lost a battle
C. people who have won a battle              D. people who keep others prisoners
62. After General Regulus" visit to Rome, the Romans_____.

C
The outstretched(伸出的) hand caught my eyes immediately. I’d fallen on the sidewalk, having tripped on the curb(路边). A hand was there, ready to help me. Then, warm smile and, “ Are you OK?”
I’d fallen on my hands and knees, and I was fine. But I loved seeing that hand reaching toward me. The woman helped me up, made sure I was all right, and we both went our way.
As I remembered this incident during the next few days, it became a symbol of the significance of helping another one. In the grand scheme of things, such help may often seem small, but at the moment it’s needed, it can feel very significant.
One of my most meaningful lessons on how to help others came at the end of a week-long music workshop. At that final gathering, we each had the opportunity to perform for the other participants. A woman who was  much more experienced and accomplished(技艺高超的)than I ---- a piano teacher who attended the workshop in order to learn new teaching techniques- invited me to play the piano with her. I"d actually been quite happy as part of the audience, watching the other students perform. My piano skills were elementary, and my confidence was low.
When she asked, though, it was almost as if she’d taken me by the hand and led me to the piano. As I plunked out a melody(旋律), she played a lovely accompaniment. Hearing that accompaniment to my melody moved me to tears. She was helping my music be beautiful—helping me play my song. But the lasting impact of that experience related to much more. I took away with me the lesson that we are each here to help one another “ play our songs” --- live our lives to the fullest, be the individuals whom we are.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The significance of helping one another.
B. My experience of playing the piano.
C. The people who helped me out.
D. The incident I remembered on the street.
64. Why did the author just want to be part of the audience?
A. She couldn’t play the piano quite well.
B. There was no time left for her to perform.
C. Nobody invited her to play the piano.
D. She was too shy to perform in public.
65. We can infer from the passage that the melody played by the author was ____.
A. moving  B. lovely  C. so-so  D. beautiful
66. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The author appreciated the two women’s help.
B. Small help is also important when it is needed.
C. A piano teacher invited the author to play the piano together.
D. The author was moved to tears because of the beautiful music.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.  71 
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration.  72 Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.
  73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful.  74 
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.  75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
A.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.
B.The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
C.They are not less likely to make mistakes.
D.Some children get a weekly allowance.
E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.
G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.

第二部分:阅读理解 (共45分)
第一节(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项
A
If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.
But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee(被提名): public education.
At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission(核心使命)---turning teenagers into educated college graduates--- much of the system is failing.
The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.
So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world’s largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line” tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About half of the low-income students with an average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said Mr. Bowen.
In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students -–even when they are better qualified—often go to colleges that excel(擅长)in producing drop-outs. “It’s really a waste,” Mr. Bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.” As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen.
What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer.
41.Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for the American financial crisis according to this passage?
A. The government.                      B. Public education
C. The Detroit automakers.                       D. The Wall Street firms.
42. What is a big problem with American higher education?
A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college.
B. Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.
C. Many college students stay away from classes.
D. It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government. 
43. The title of the book Crossing the Finish Line probably means______.
A. running to the end of the line                B. going to college
C. finishing college education                    D. working hard in college
44. Why do some students under--match ?
A. Because they have financial difficulty. B. Because they face ambition crisis.
C. Because they lack confidence.             D. Because they can’t get guidance.
45. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. problems with secondary American education and possible solutions
B. America’s financial crisis, its cause and influence
C. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence
D. relationship between American education and its economy
