When a rather dirty , poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins , do you hurry on , not knowing what to do , or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money ? What should our attitude to beggars be ? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories . It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from . It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars .
Certainly , most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves .But has the world changed ?Maybe what was morally（道德方面）right in the old days ,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help ,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars .Let us look at their arguments.
First ,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually
make a good living from begging .Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(惡行).Secondly ,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer ,wine or drugs .Thirdly ,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor ,but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people .Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion ;there are various cases and we must deal with them differently .A few coins can save a life in some situations ,and even if the money is wasted ,that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.
60．What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．Moral deeds of people. B．Religious activities of the church.
C．Moral goodness of the giver. D．Arguments on giving to beggars.
61．What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?”in the second paragraph?
A．People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
B．Some people will not do what was morally right in the past .
C．We don’t meet with those who need help any more.
D．Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.
62．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars .
B．Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C．Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D．Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
63．In the last paragraph ,the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion ,because
.
A．the cases can be so different B．there are so many beggars
C．there is so much money wasted D．there are so many different arguments

He wishes the holiday season would end already . His back aches , his red suit feels like a spacesuit , his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours —and still the kids keep coming and coming , like ants at a picnic . As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商業(yè)化) across the U. S. and Canada , so must Santas . As the holiday begins earlier each year , so must its spokesmen .
The questions from children these days are harder than ever . Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan , the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable . For example , “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning ?”
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story : A Santa had a girl on his knee , and he commented , “You have nice eyes and nice hair .” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (騷擾) . When a Santa feels anxious , he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do : The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended . Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again .
56．In the first paragraph , “spokesmen” refers to .
A．businessmen B．political leaders
C．organisers of the activities D．Santa Clauses

C．A Christmas Story
D．What Does Santa Claus Do for Children ?

Do you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?
A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to .In Hong Kong , men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis .In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses .It is ,therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together ,go to school together ,and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.
Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development .Regular contact （接觸）can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead to more natural relationships .Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality（同性戀）,though there is no proof that this is the case.
Those who are against coeducation often also fix their attention on the sexual side .Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers .They want their children to be attentive to their studies .Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.
A stronger argument comes from research into school results .Girls grow up earlier than boys ,tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages .In a mixed class ,boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker .Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed （驚動）the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes .In the UK the best schools are all single-sex ,strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer .This may ,however ,not be as simple as it looks .It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex ,rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.
72．In the third paragraph ,by saying “though there is no proof that this is the case” ,the writer means that .
A．students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexual
B．students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinions
C．students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexual
D．single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.
73．All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that .
A．co-education can produce a society-like situation
B．co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girls
C．co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sex
D．co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes
74．Alarmed by the situation ,the UK government encourages .
A．co-education
B．single-sex education
C．single-sex classes in co-educational schools
D．co-educational classes in single-sex schools
75．At the end of the passage the writer suggests that .
A．single-sex schools are the best schools in the UK
B．being single-sex does not necessarily make a school better
C．co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal development
D．because boys cannot compete with girls in study ,they go to single-sex schools

The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates(種植園). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.
Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing(加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.
Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill .There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required .For black tea ,the young green leaves are first spread out o shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this ,the leaves are passed through heavy rollers .This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste .Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment （發(fā)酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea .The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves .The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.
68．In the first paragraph ,the word “pruning” means .
A．regular cutting of the plants
B．frequent watering
C．regular use of chemicals
D．growing the plants high in the mountain
69．One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that .
A．they work harder than men do in the picking
B．they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets
C．their fingers fit them better for the job.
D．they can more easily find the twin leaves.
70．How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
71．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To introduce various methods of tea processing.
B．To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.
C．To tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens.
D．To inform readers of tea growing ,picking and processing.
