Passage 3
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went her handbag some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursday. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
Over a cup of tea she was wondering whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door—“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her
movements? On the Thursday after that, dressed as usual, she went out at her usual time, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle
and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.

Passage 4
No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the number is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.
56. The first paragraph points out that________. A. there are many disabled people in the world
B. the number of disabled people in India is the biggest C. India has many more disabled people than Canada
D. it is easy to get an exact number of the world's disabled people 57.The last paragraph focuses on_________. A. disability B. ignorance
C. is included D. is numbered
58. The last word “counts” most probably means “________.” A. is important B. is considered C. is included D. is numbered 59.Which of the following statements is NOT TURE?
A. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
B. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the United Kingdom. C. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by disabled people. F. There still exits prejudice against the disabled that is easy to break down.
60. It can be concluded from the passage that________. A. we should try our best to prevent disability
B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down C. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D. the able-bodied people will fully understand the disabled

Part V Writing(共20分)
On Failure
It is inevitable that we may experience failure in life. If we don’t work hard or try our best, it is very likely that we will fail in what we do. Sometimes, even when we have already worked hard enough and made every effort, still we may end in failure. Probably it is fair to say that every one has experienced some failure.
People have different attitude towards failure. Some people get very discouraged when they fail, as if there would be no other way out. Others believe failure can be instructive as they can learn from it. If they don’t give up and ;earn their lesson from their past failures, they will succeed eventually.
I believe it is normal that we may fail since failure is part of our life. It is encouraging if we can succeed; however, it is more important that we should not give up if we fail. We should develop our capacity to learn from failures. By doing so, we will definitely succeed in the end. 【评分参考】
