D
She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise？She tried to weigh each side of the question. In her home anyway she had shelter and food；she had those whom she had known all her life about her. Of course she had to work hard, both in the house and at the stores.
But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then she would be married — she, Eveline. People would treat her with respect then. She would not be treated as her mother had been. Even now, though she was over nineteen, she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father's violence. She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations. When they were growing up he had never gone for her like he used to go for Harry and Ernest, because she was a girl and latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake. And now she had nobody to protect her. Ernest was dead and Harry, who was in the church decorating business, was nearly always down somewhere in the country. She always gave her entire wages and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from her father.
She was about to explore another life with Frank. Frank was very kind, manly, open-hearted. She was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for her. How well she remembered the first time she had seen him；He used to meet her outside the Stores every evening and see her home. People knew that they were courting. Of course, her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him.
The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct. One was to Harry；the other was to her father. Ernest had been her favourite but she liked Harry too. Her father was becoming old lately, she noticed；he would miss her. Sometimes he could be very nice. Not long before, when she had been laid up for a day, he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire. Another day, when their mother was alive, they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth. She remembered her father putting on her mothers bonnet to make the children laugh.
Her time was running out but she continued to sit by the window. Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing. She knew the air. Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother, her promise to keep the home together as long as she could.
As she mused (沉思), the pitiful vision of her mother’s life laid its spell on the bottom of her heart. She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror. Escape! She must escape! Frank would save her. He would give her life, perhaps love, too.
She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall. He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her, saying something about the passage over and over again. She answered nothing. She felt her cheek pale and cold and, out of a maze of distress, she prayed to God to direct her, to show her what was her duty. The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist. If she went, tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank, steaming towards Buenos Ayres. Their passage had been booked. Could she still draw back after all he had done for her？Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer. A bell clanged upon her heart. She felt him seize her hand： ―Come! Come!‖
No! No! No! It was impossible. Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy. Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish. ―Eveline! Evvy!‖
He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow. He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her. She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition. 65. Which of the following is true of Eveline’s life? A. She fell in love with Frank. B. Her life was wholly undesirable. C. She was respected by the local people. D. She enjoyed a equal status in the family.
66. Which words can best describe the characters of Eveline’s father? A. Stubborn, tricky and coldblooded. C. Shameless, cruel and unsympathetic.
B. Violent, mean, and prejudiced. D. Strict, greedy and narrow-minded.
67. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Eveline and her father’s relationship was not always bad. B. Eveline was still mourning her mother’s and brother’s death. C. Eveline and Frank’s love got support from her brother Henry.
D. Eveline had made up her mind to explore another life with Frank. 68. The underlined word ―air‖ is closest in meaning to _________.
A. atmosphere B. breeze C. impression D. tune 69. Which of the following does NOT contribute to Eveline’s stay? A. She at least possessed shelter and food in her home. B. She had promised her mother to keep the home together. C. She wondered whether Frank would bring real happiness. D. She had those whom she had known all her life around her. 70. Her pray to God revealed ____________. A. her uncertainty of her leaving C. her anxiety about their safety
B. her expectation of a happy life D. her eagerness to leave with Frank

College helps students dream of more than a salary
From the earliest days of our country, we have seen education as the foundation for democracy and citizenship. Yet high school students and families are increasingly questioning its value. Is investing in a college or university education still worth it? The answer is definitely ―Yes‖.
From a financial point of view, a college education surely pays off. Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars over a lifetime. Completing college makes an even greater difference to the earning power of young women. A 25-34 year-old female with a bachelor’s degree can expect to make 70% more than if she had only completed her high school diploma. But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?
College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking — from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter. It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently, seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who inhabited other eras and other lands.
College introduces students to people they’ve never met before. One of the most important ways in which students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves. I recall one student who was admitted to Harvard but wasn’t sure he would fit in at a school in the Northeast. However, one night he found himself debating the characteristics that define a genuine hero with other admitted students from around the world. Not everyone agreed, but the differences were what made the conversation exciting, and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down. No one denies the value of speed, connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives on all three. But ―thinking‖ is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to change information into insight and knowing into understanding. It nurtures critical thinking. The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.
To conclude, investing in a college or university education is well worth it. College opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. But more importantly, in college students have acquired a new way of transforming the world, through the power of learning, analyzing, changing to adapt to what they have come to understand.

81. 请阅读下面文字和图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
Recent months, an increasing number of people have chosen cycling instead of driving to
schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, has brought the trend to a new level. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smart phone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution in places where the subway doesn’t extend and where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another.
However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破
坏) and theft. ―Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,‖ said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. ―But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.‖
