My Love，
It is with the fondest regards that I am writing this letter. When I think of you, my heart skips a beat and my knees grow weak. I need you. I want you. I long for you.
We've shared moments of real joy when I've given myself to you. In the kitchen. On the couch. In my bedroom.
But my family and friends are starting to get worried. You've changed me. I do not like the person I see in the mirror. I've stopped going to the beach because I want you with me at all times and you can't stand the heat. I no longer enjoy shopping with my girlfriends because I can see you on every inch of my body and so can they. I cannot hide my love affair with you any more because it is written all over my face. And my arms. And my legs. And my abdomen(腹部)．
Being with you has been great. The satisfaction I get from one night with you is unlike any other. Though，the regret and disappointment I now experience in the morning is increasing.
I am writing this letter to you because I know that I am not strong enough to see you again. You are harmful and bad for me. I need a clean break. I cannot see you any more no matter how hard you try to win me back. I know you are everywhere but I will be strong. Your inviting smell can no longer attract me. Your ability to know exactly what I want when I want it can no longer win me over. This is not going to be easy and I know I am going to miss you more than anything I've ever given up before. But I will be better for it in the end.
So，I am writing to you with passion(激情)，begging you to stay out of my life. We've had fun together but it's time I got over you. Goodbye, my love. Goodbye, chocolate.
21．Why has the author stopped going to the beach?
A. Because it's not a suitable place for carrying chocolate.
B. Because her family and friends may get worried.
C. Because she no longer enjoys going out with her friends.
D. Because she can't stand the heat on the beach.
22．What does the underlined sentence “I need a clean break” probably mean?
A. It's time for me to break the mirror.
B. It's time for me to stop eating chocolate.
C. I need to eat chocolate in a clean place.
D. I need to go out to enjoy a good holiday.
23．From the letter we can infer that ________.
A. the author sometimes suffers from heart troubles
B. the author has broken up with her girlfriends
C. the author has been getting fatter
D. the author will soon go abroad on vacation
24．By writing the letter，the author intends ________.
A. to say goodbye to her lover B. to tell us a moving love story
C. to show her love of chocolate D. to give up eating her favorite food

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, and in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems, too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising——and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
28. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A. Staying on the farm. B. Leaving home for the city.
C. Moving to the countryside. D Running away from the school.
29. Which of the following is true about the writer?
A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health.
C. He lives in the city now. D. He prefers driving a car.
30. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.
A. express his opinions about way of life
B. describe his life in the countryside
C. have an interest in the outside world
D. persuade the reader to live in the city
31. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring. B. By giving explanations.
C. By listing examples. D. By comparing.
D
I got my first driver’s license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew（更新） my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under the age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21 “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.
I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?”
Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
32. Susan got her first driver's license .
A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old
C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland
33. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because .
A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland
C. she was to give birth to a baby soon D. she insisted on signing for herself
34. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. .
A. American males should serve in the army
B. different states may have different laws
C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage
35. By Maryland law a person may get a driver’s license at least by the age of______.
A. 18 B. 20 C.21 D. 16
