Did you watch the magic shows played by Liu Qian from Taiwan in the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival Gala(春节联欢晚会)? They attracted great attention and wide interests of the audience(观众). During the gala, Liu managed to drop a coin into a glass which was placed upside down(倒置) and transferred a finger ring into an egg. The two magic shows were so successful that everyone is now mad about him and all want to know how to play magic tricks.“I saw the surprise on everyone’s face. It was cool.”Liu said.
However, you may not believe that Liu didn’t go to any magic school. He just learned by himself. When Liu was seven, he saw a coin trick in a big store. At that moment Liu decided to learn magic. He worked hard at it. He practiced hard to improve his skills. Then one day he was able to put on a show for his class.
After years of hard work, now Liu is a great magician. But he isn’t satisfied with what he has got and keeps on trying every day. He may spend three years working out a new show. 67．Liu Qian becomes famous ________.

Most American students have to say goodbye to fancy(高档的) fruits these days. In school restaurants across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
“People are afraid to spend now.”said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store.“They don’t know what the future will bring”. During the financial crisis(金融危机), several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive things.
The crisis began last year. Experts(专家) think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(国界), the whole world was in trouble.
This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure
whether it will help or not. Last week presidents from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
70．This passage is probably taken from ________. A．a story book B．a novel
C．a newspaper D．an advertisement 71．Why are people in the US afraid to spend?
A．Because they think it’s unnecessary.
B．Because they don’t have the habit of spending money. C．Because they worry about their future. D．Because they don’t have any money.
72．From the passage, we still don’t know ________. A．when the financial crisis began B．when the financial crisis will end C．why some of the US banks closed
D．whether the crisis has spread to other countries 73．The best title for the passage is ________.

In America, when people say“man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal：a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to
people’s life. ①Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die! Animals can help people, too. ②People can teach dogs to become the“eyes”for a blind person or“ears”for a deaf person. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for“visits.”
Americans hold“Be kind to Animals Week”the fist week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. ③As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves. 74．根据①处完成下面的句子(每空一词)
Some people ________________ their pets ________________ their children. 75．根据②处完成下面的句子(每空一词)
Dogs can ________ ________ to become the“eyes”for a blind person or“ears”for a deaf person. 76．将③处的句子翻译成汉语。

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格。
Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.
Preview-if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long
magazine articles and business reports. Here’s how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs(段落) and the last two paragraphs carefully. ●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want-or need-to read.
Skim-if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading-like popular magazines or the
sports and entertainment of your daily paper. Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line. ●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about.
①First, we should read 77．________________ carefully. How do we preview? ②Then we can read 78．________________ of the other paragraphs. ①We should move our eyes fast and 79．________________ How do we skim? ②We just need to 80．________________ in each line. 第四部分 写作(共三节，满分26分)
