Chinese people around the world celebrate their most important holiday, Chinese New Year. But for one man in Taiwan, Yao Guan Cheng, it's all about business as he washes dirty banknotes for gifts.
According to Chinese tradition, parents give their children clean, fresh banknotes at the start of the New Year. But there is a serious shortage (短缺) of such banknotes as the holiday period draws near, and Yao Guan Cheng noticed that. He thought there might be a good chance to start a business to meet the needs of the market.
"When I first started this money-washing business, it was for family members who liked to collect old precious banknotes. But later on, it hit me that this service would bring convenience to people as they are preparing for the Chinese New Year. It is one of our customs to put banknotes inside little red envelopes in order to bring our children good luck. To do that, people change old notes for new ones at the banks. But here in Taiwan, there are all kinds of rules about how much you can change, what days you can do that and which banks you can go to. That's inconvenient. So I thought: why not give people another choice? If they like, they can just have their old notes washed and cleaned, and they will be as clean as new."
He doesn't just put the notes in water, he uses special chemicals and no one knows what it is. His services don't come cheap, he charges about $10 for washing twenty banknotes. But as there is one month to go before the New Year holiday, he's been very busy, cleaning people's banknotes and in the process, giving a new, clean image (比喻) to the expression 'money laundering' (洗钱).
71. Yao Guan Cheng used to collect old banknotes for a living.
72. He started the business to answer the needs of the market.
73. People can change as many new banknotes as they like in Taiwan banks.
74. The coming of New Year means that more people will need Yao’s service.
75. His method of washing money has been kept a secret.
76. His business is going well because he provides fast and cheap service.
77. Yao’s success story tells us opportunities (机会) sometimes are hidden around us in our life.
B. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7分)
For many kids in Africa, the colorful PlayPump (踏水车) is the first playground equipment (器材) they’ve ever seen. When they give it a push and jump in for their first ride, smiles of wonder break out on their faces.
The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. This invention doesn’t just change their play-time. It changes their lives.
As the merry-go-round (旋转木马) starts, it pumps (泵送) clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank (桶). People are welcome to come and help themselves to the water for free.
In the countryside of Africa, few people drink clean water. They don’t have water equipment in their homes. Instead, they often walk a long way to carry water back.
Patricia Molope, 15, explains that before her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. "Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy and we would have to stop bathing in order to save water. It was too far to walk there, but now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better."
The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles, and hours each day is such a big job that it sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school.
Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy—and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.
Twelve-year-old boy Khumalo says, "I have seen many kinds of water pumps, but never one that can keep water. When I grow up, I want to be an inventor so I can invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country."
So far, more than 800 PlayPumps are operating in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries, providing water for almost two million people.
78. To get water from PlayPump, people need to _______.
A) walk long distances B) push it first
C) run round it in circles D) use a big tank
79. “It” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A) pump B) merry-go-round C) clean water D) underground
80. For Patricia Molope, getting water used to be hard because ______.
A) she didn’t know how to use a Playpump B) she had no money to pay a taxi driver
C) the only place to get water was far away from home
D) there was not enough water in the well
81. Twelve-year-old Khumalo is a ______.
A) local African boy B) world famous inventor
C) school teacher D) native taxi driver
82. How does PlayPump change the lives of African girls?
A) They have water to drink. B) They needn’t work any longer.
C) They can play with boys. D) They may go back to school.
83. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about PlayPump?
A) People need to pay for the clean water from PlayPump.
B) Both children and parents enjoy the ride on PlayPump.
C) PlayPump makes the life of the Africans much easier.
D) About two million Africans are using the water from PlayPump.
84. What is the main idea of the story?
A) PlayPump can bring people together. B) PlayPump helps turn work into play.
C) Every country in the world is thirsty. D) PlayPump is the world’s greatest invention.

C. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（14分）

At that time, I lived with my parents. They hated hearing my loud music particularly at night. It was unpleasant to them. I had to use headphones (耳机) in order not to 86 when I wanted to enjoy some music. I always listened to the music two or three levels too high. This brought more damage to my eardrums (耳膜) than listening to music in a(n) 87 space.
After damaging my eardrums, I felt like (感到好似) I was always asking people to repeat themselves. And 88 I had to do that a lot. I could no longer clearly hear what they were saying.
