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 难度：★
Li Luyao is an impressive 21-year-old college student. However, she is blind. “I think because as blind people we don’t see all those annoying things in the world, we can remain clearer about what life is all about,” she said. “But never should you think that therefore we are open and cool. The natural condition of a blind person is negative.”
Li’s life story would upset anyone who heard it. Li suffered a serious fever when she was 14. The illness, a side effect of her parents’ divorce, took away Li’s sight. When Li’s father quietly disappeared from their lives, her mother became very upset. She tried several times to jump off a building. “People always ask me when and how I accepted that I had become blind,” Li said. “I didn’t overcome that difficulty myself. It was just that I faced an even more painful reality: I was weak at that time, but my mother was even weaker. I had to take over the responsibility of running the family.” Three years later, after a new marriage helped her mother recover, Li decided to leave home. Then her mother would feel more able to have another child.
Li is proud that since then she has been financially independent thanks to a series of jobs she has had in Beijing. The most unexpected job was her appearance in La Princess Maleine (《玛兰纳公主》), written by Maurice Maeterlinck in 1889. The play is about a princess called Maleine. She is caught up in a love-hate situation after falling in love with a prince from an enemy country. Li had expected to play Maleine but ended up playing the prince. “Maybe the director discovered that I am strong in mind,” Li said.

A. are given more care
B. can listen and feel better
C. become opener and cooler
D. know the truth of life more clearly
57. What made Li Luyao accept her blindness?
A. Her mother’s illness.
B. Her mother’s remarriage.

B 难度：★★
A franchise (特许经销权) is to permit an individual to market a company’s goods or services within a certain area or location. Some examples of today’s popular franchises are McDonald’s, Kodak, Pizza Hut and the UPS Store.
Franchising began back in the 1850’s when Isaac Singer invented the sewing machine. In order to distribute his machines outside, and also provide training to customers, Singer began selling licenses to businessmen in different parts of the country. In 1955, Ray Kroc took over a small chain of food franchises and built it into today’s most successful fast food franchise in the world, now known as McDonald’s. McDonald’s currently has the most franchise units worldwide of any franchise system.
Today, franchising is helping a lot of individuals be their own boss and operate their own business. Franchising allows people to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. An individual usually has a great chance to succeed when he/she opens a franchise. The products, services and business operations have already been established.
There are many advantages of buying a franchise. Some of these advantages are:
●Corporate image (公司形象) — The corporate image of the company is already established. Consumers are always more comfortable when purchasing things from a familiar name or company they trust.
●Training — The franchisor usually provides plenty of training and support for the franchise owner.
●Savings in time — Since the franchise company already has the business model in place you can focus on running a successful business.
There is a reason why franchising has been around for decades. It is a great way for individuals to own and operate their own business. If you are thinking about buying a franchise, do your homework, research the company, and you should consult a franchise consultant before making a final decision.
59. The first franchise company sold ____.
A. McDonald’s food

C. sewing machines
D. kinds of licenses
60. What does the underlined sentence mean in Para 3?
A. Franchising permits businessmen to start a new kind of business.
B. Businessmen can be a boss and go into business for themselves.

D. An individual who buys a franchise can employ others to operate his business.

C 难度：★★★★
A charity campaigner says all UK schools should be required to have a comprehensive (综合的) sun safety policy to protect children from skin cancer. A recent survey of 1,000 parents finds almost 40% of pupils have suffered sun-burn while at school. Richard Clifford of Skin Cancer UK says this is “entirely unacceptable” and wants compulsory sun rules for schools. Current guidelines are not compulsory.
The call comes as the parents of a 10-year-old girl who attends a school near Swansea complained their daughter had suffered severe sunburn on a sports day. Pennard Primary School says parents could come in at lunch-time to apply cream, but that it would be impossible for teachers to apply sun cream to the 200 children attending the school.
Advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) says schools should encourage children to seek shade whenever possible, particularly when out playing in the midday sun. And it says sun cream should be applied half an hour before and after going out in the sun and reapplied every two hours later.
Mr. Clifford said, “Admittedly teachers cannot be expected to apply sun cream due to simple time pressures. Children have delicate skin and getting sun-burnt as a child increases the risk of skin cancer later in life.” “However, there is no reason why they should not supervise (监督) the application, perhaps with the assistance of the school nurse or parents who are in turn to come.” But Mr. Clifford says in reality too few do.
Dr Claire Knight, health information officer at Cancer Research UK, said, “It’s important that children are protected from sunburn while at school. Cancer Research UK encourages schools to develop their own sun protection policy, and recommends that children should be allowed to bring sun cream of at least SPF 15 with four or five stars into school and be supervised while applying it. Using shade and clothing is also crucial to any policy designed to promote the safe enjoyment of the sun.”
63. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. All UK schools need a sun safety policy.
B. Only 1000 pupils’ parents do this survey.
C. About 400 pupils have suffered sun-burn.
D. Current sun safety rules are not compulsory.
64. Why did the parents of a 10-year-old girl feel dissatisfied with the school?
A. Because their daughter was forced to do sports in the sun.
B. Because their daughter got seriously sunburned when doing sports.
C. Because the school didn’t provide pupils with sun cream.
D. Because there wasn’t enough shade for pupils to seek.
65. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Pupils are expected to do sports in the shade.
B. Parents should come in at lunch-time to apply cream.
C. Teachers are supposed to teach pupils the use of sun cream.
D. Different schools are allowed to have different sun protection policies.
66. This passage mainly tells us that ____.
A. some compulsory sun safety policies needed to be applied at schools
B. parents have done something to protect their kids from suffering sunburn
C. all UK schools have taken some steps to teach pupils how to apply cream
D. sun protection policies may vary in different schools
D 难度：★★★
We enter the “Make Believe World” when we open a book and begin to read. It is a world that can fill us with wonder, where dreams can come true, and where we can go on an adventure.
“Melinda and the Wild West: A Family Saga in Bear Lake, Idaho,” is an award-winning novel for the “Reviewers’ Choice Award.” Literary Book Review wrote: “Linda Weaver Clarke shows an excellent style of writing, mixing adventure, romance, history, humor and courage. Melinda and the Wild West is a classic and should put this author on the literary map all over the world.”
In 1896 Melinda Gamble—a very beautiful, young woman from Boston—decided to give up her life of simple comfort for the crazy uncertainty of the Wild West. Driven by her strong desire(欲望) to do something, Melinda took a job as a schoolteacher in a small town of Paris, Idaho, where she came face-to-face with Butch Cassidy, a bad bear, and a terrible heavy snow that made her hold to her life. But there was a rugged rancher（粗鲁的农场主）who challenged Melinda with the one thing for which she was least prepared—love.
When a rugged rancher and a determined schoolteacher met, they tended to clash(引起冲突) with each
