Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction”(减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666 ．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city , where most of the houses were wooden and close together ．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

By eight o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire ．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames ．Tuesday was the worst day ．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s an d the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys , the famous writer , writer about the fire , “People threw their things into the river ．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment ．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat .”

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them the new St Paul’s

Here we are, afraid of losing what we have all the time, holding on to it so tight that not a soul can touch it. We think by hiding it from the world, it’s hidden and it’s ours. Nothing is. Nothing ever will be. For, nothing ever was.

If you think there is anything tha t you have, that’s yours, be it money, a house, a job, or a girlfriend…it’s nothing but an illusion. It’ll all disappear…in one blow. One blow, my man.

Here we are, so insecure that we are afraid of re-start-ing our lives, so we just carry on trying to sort out the current mess. The thought that we should give it all up and just start all over-with nothing-might cross our minds some time, sure, but we get scared and we push away anything that scares us.

There is nothing I can ever achieve or gain that I cannot lose, in a matter of seconds. You have never gained enough to not be able to lose it all, in just a few minutes. What you think is yours, was never yours and will never be yours. Whatever you make here, you leave here. You came naked and you’re going t o go back naked.

So what are you afraid of?

Let all be lost. Let them take away everything. As long as you have your heart beating strong, as long as you have your nostrils（鼻孔）working fine, as long as the blood flows in your veins, you will live , you will breathe and you can get it all back…again and again. For , if you can do it once, you can damn well do it again. It’s just a game we play—Life.

63. The writer thinks that________.

A. only after something is hidden can it be yours

B. nothing can be really yours in fact

C. if we are not afraid, we won’t lose what we have

D. we should hold on to what we have tightly in life.

A. a fact

B. a reality

C. a dream

D. a thought

65. From the passage, we can infer ______.

A. that living life just like playing a computer game

B. everything can be taken away in life

C. if you succeed once you can do it forever

D. as long as we live, we can get back everything

66. The main idea of the passage is that____________.

Money is all surrounding us．Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongue．Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?

Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task．It has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money. The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed. Usually, the old money is burned．The burned money is replaced by new paper money.

If old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint（造币厂）．Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）．These large sheets are cut into individual bills．The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks．

Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture （portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured）or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks. First, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed. Then, they ask an artist to design the new bill．A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die．The dies are made and put onto large printing machines．Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have．Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours．After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks．

67．From the passage we know that ______.

A．banks make new money B．it takes 65 procedures to make new money

C．mints decide what kind of bill is needed

D．old money that is not used is forever stored in a special place

68．We can infer from the passage that a die is _______.

A．something for dead people B．a special machine that prints the money

C．a special piece of paper that the money is made from

D．a piece of metal that puts the picture on the money

69．'Which of the following shows the right order of dealing with new money?

①New money is printed in a mint．②Bills are cut from large sheets of special paper．

③New money is sent in large amounts to banks．

④The government decides to make new money．

A．①②③④B．④③②①C．④①③②D．④①②③70．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．The reason for making new money．B．The processes of making a new bill．

C．The amount of new money needed．D．Things used to make new money or a new bill．第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分。）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words: I’m sorry. Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say, 71 .

It’s not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.

72

You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be“right”that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 73 Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 74 You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let th e fight go for so long, of that you overreacted(反应过度的) to something your friend did. If you say you are sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 75

A.Then try to be the first to apologize.

B.Stop thinking about your pride.

C.It’s about ta king some resposibility for the argument.

D.Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

E.Here are some things to keep in mind.

F.There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.

G.Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.
