For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you, with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheeseAfter all, records are made to be broken56From the text, we can conclude that the author _Athinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaningless Bfeels it a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the Burbures Cis quite worried about Burbures vocal cords Dhas no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures feat 57Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to _Abecome an international celebrityBknow all about Guinness recordsCpractice a great dealDbear great stress for fear of injury 58We can infer from the article that _Aafter the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speakBBurbures wife didnt support his attempt to make a Guinness recordCmany have criticized Burbure for his stupid behaviorDchallenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health59The authors attitude to some Guinness world records is _Apositive Bimpressed Cnegative DtouchedBI once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friendsHowever, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially（开头）determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his lifeI think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your lifeAs months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over himHe had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity（人性）His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for himDuring the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice（安养院）came to the home to regulate（调整）his medication（药）and provide any other needed supportHe didnt complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve himIndeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for othersYou often cant learn these important attributes（属性）in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind60Which word can best describe the mans initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?ASatisfied BSad CSurprised DConcerned61What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?AHe was operated on immediatelyBHe researched cancer treatmentsCHe retired from his jobDHe felt sad, doing nothing62What was the mans main source of comfort after several months with the disease?

They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergenciesAll the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free creditUsing the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even furtherIt is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets（经销店）, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolenA credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the cardHowever, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty64The hotheaded are people who _Aspend more money than they haveBspend less money than other people Csave moneyDmake money65The disadvantage of credit cards is _ Ato enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash Bto encourage people to spend more money Cto be always useful in emergenciesDto help people tide over a period of financial difficulty66Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider _Athe amount of credit grantedBthe number and range of outlets Cthe possibility of loss of moneyDthe department stores where you are going to use your credit cards67The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means _Afloating with the tide of Bgoing through a difficult period ofCrising and falling with the tide ofDattempting to go against the tide ofDSocial networking isnt only for the under 40sMore than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research“The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the reportNearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren“They are using the Internet to keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the reportShe added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and those in the same age groupAlmost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild“Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the reportThe findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adultsIn addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technologyEighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy oneDespite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers and magazines for newsOnly one percent said they followed blogs68What is the main idea of the text?ASocial networking isnt for the under 40s in the US.ABAmerican old peoples way of life is quite fashionableCSocial networking is becoming popular among older AmericansDFacebook, MySpace and Twitter are the most popular websites in the US69Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A85% of Americans 50 plus choose the Internet over print mediaBAbout 460 people in the telephone survey often use FacebookCAbout 20% of adults aged 50 plus have access to（利用）the InternetDThree quarters of the people surveyed got to know the Internet through their family70Where does the text probably come from?AA novel BA newspaper CA technology guide DA students research paper其次节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Ancient Rome was one of the worlds most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago.
