    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中一选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
    San Francisco，unofficially regarded as one of the homeless capitals of the US，counts nearly 6,500 homeless people, with 4,300 living on the street．
    Among the many problems that the homeless face is little or no access to showers．San Francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stations to accommodate them．But Doniece Sandoval has made it her task to change that．
    “Homelessness is something you can’t really miss，”the 51-year-old woman said．She started Lava Mae，a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn old city buses into shower stations for the homeless．
    “One day I passed a woman in the street and she was very dirty and basically crying，and I heard her say that she would never be clean．But I was wondering what her opportunities were to actually get clean,” Sandoval said．
    Sandoval was inspired to start Lava Mae. The project has already been welcomed with open arms in the city．The Transportation Agency has donated one bus for the cause and is willing to donate three more if the project succeeds．Sandoval hopes the first bus will be able to hit the road in May this year．The Public Commission has also agreed to let the buses plug into fire hydrants(消防龙头)around the city if Lava Mae  pays for the water．
   One of Lava Mae’s biggest supporters is Bevan Dufty, the director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships & Engagement under the mayor of San Francisco．“For people who are unhoused，access to showers is very difficult．Shower buses are something that could potentially be deployed (部署)in response to an emergency，so it is relevant to all San Franciscans," Dufty said．“Doniece has done an incredible job as a citizen who cares about helping the poor．We are very excited to see Lava Mae become real soon．”   
  Each bus will have two shower stations and Sandoval expects that by 2015，they’ll be able to provide 2000 showers a week．

43．Which of the following best describes Doniece Sandoval?
  A．Brave and independent．    B．Caring and responsible．
  C．Honest and determined．    D．Friendly and humorous．
44．What can we learn from Dufty’s words?
  A．All San Franciscans are excited to use Lava Mae．
  B．Emergencies in San Francisco will be prevented by Lava Mae．
  C．Dufty thinks highly of Doniece's way of helping the poor．
  D．The mayor of San Francisco will support Doniece financially．
45．What can be a suitable title for the text?

  C．The health problem of the homeless
　D．Lave Mae-a new name for old city buses

     Microsoft has a problem：It desperately wants the remaining Windows XP users to upgrade to a newer version of the operating system but a good many of them still haven’t started．The latest numbers from NetMarket show that Windows XP still accounts for around 29．5％of all desktops in use even though Microsoft is due to end support for the l3-Year-old platform on April 8th．ZDNet reports that Microsoft plans to force remaining XP users to start next week by sending them notices reminding them again that it will end XP support within a month．
    However, as Computerworld reports，Microsoft may have a tough time convincing some Windows XP users to upgrade because it's trying to sell them on Windows 8，the newest operating system that has angered many longtime PC users by removing the traditional Start menu and by adding the interface(界面)a special feature．Computerworld writes that many Windows users expressed anger last month when Microsoft asked them to help switch as many people as they could from Windows XP to Windows 8 partly because Microsoft hasn’t offered any sort of discount for Windows XP users making the switch．
     This is particularly tiresome, these users said，because switching from XP to Windows 8 won’t just require a software upgrade but will instead likely force them to buy new machines capable(能够)of running Microsoft’s new operating system．Some users were also annoyed that Microsoft only mentioned Windows 8 and not Windows 7 as upgrade possibilities．
     In the end，it looks like when Microsoft ends support for Windows XP next month there will still be a large part of the desktop PC world using the platform．Hackers who have been saving up all their best new malware(恶意软件)for the day when Windows XP support ends are about to have a field day．
61．What problem does Microsoft have now?
　A．Windows XP is out of date and needs improvement．
　B．Windows 8 runs worse than Windows XP．
　C．No people like to upgrade their operating system．
　D．Lots of users refuse to switch from XP to Windows 8．
62．How will Microsoft remind users of the stop of XP support?
　　A．By sending them notices．
　　B．By sending them daily emails．
　　C．By adding the interface a special feature．
　　D．By removing the traditional Start menu．
63．Which is probably one of the reasons why users dislike Window 8?
   A．Microsoft hasn’t offered any discount for it．
   B．They like Window 7 more than Window 8．
   C．Microsoft refuses to offer them a new machine．
   D．It’s impossible for them to use the new operating system．
64．What does the underlined phrase “have a field day” probably mean in the last paragraph?
　A．Show up without warning．
　B．Make rapid progress．
　C．Make full use of the opportunity．
　D．Come to an end completely．
65．What can be inferred from the text?
  A．Windows XP will completely be out of use in a month．
  B．Windows XP will still be in use for a period of time．
  C．Windows 8 will have a longer history than Windows XP．
  D．Windows 7 will easily be attacked by Hackers．

    阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上，(请注意问题后面的词数要求)。
　　[1] As a distinguished Indian painter and author, Aabid has written around 80 books but no story so shocked him as the truth about water shortage on the planet, “A UN report says by 2025 more than 40 countries are expected to       ．That shortage of water will be the end of civilized life，”he said with great worry．
   [2] One day back in 2007，he was sitting in a friend’s house and noticed a leaky tap．It bothered him．A few days later, he came across a statistic in the newspaper：a tap that drips(滴落)once every second wastes a thousand litres of water in a month．That triggered an idea．He would take a plumber(水管工)from door to door and fix taps for free every weekend.
   [3] He named his Non-governmental Organization ‘Drop Dead’and created a slogan: save every drop…or drop dead．
   [4] By the end of the first year，he had visited l,533 homes and fixed around 400 taps．Slowly，the news began to spread．Local newspapers began to write about Drop Dead, which caused a further flood of grateful emails and messages．Conservatively, it could be estimated that he has saved at least 5．5m litres of water till date．
   [5] In the summer of 2014，the state where Aabid lives is expecting its worst drought in 40 years. Months in advance，the government has prepared drought-relief packages worth millions of dollars，but Aabid sees his own approach as simple and inexpensive．“Anyone can launch a water conservation project in his or her area．It doesn’t require much funding．And most importantly, it puts the power back in our own hands，”he says．
66．Fill in the blank in Paragraph l with proper words．(no more than 5 words) ．

67．Why did Aabid take a plumber from door to door and fix taps?(no more than 6 words)

68．Explain the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 in English．(no more than 6 words)

69．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?(no more than 10 words)

Dear Mr. Johnson,
　　　How are things going with you? 
　　　I’m writing to ask for your help. As you know, I’m weak in English reading comprehension. Although I have tried every means to improve it, like expanding my vocabulary and doing a large number of exercises, so far all my efforts have ended up in failure, which really makes me discouraged. To make things worse, this year reading will make up a higher percentage than ever before in the coming College Entrance Examination. Now with the important exam drawing near, I feel more and more stressed and worried. If I didn’t take effective measures, I wouldn’t be able to get through the exam and that would ruin my college dream.
　　　I’ll appreciate it very much if you can give me some advice on how to improve my reading ability effectively and I’m looking forward to your early reply.
　　　Best wishes.

                                                                                    Yours,
