Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.

21. Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine, who rose to fame during Hollywood's golden age as the star of several Alfred Hitch．cock classics, died from natural causes at her home in Carmel, northern California on December 16, 2013 aged 96, US media reports said．
    Born in Japan to British parents, Fontaine moved in 1919 to California, where she and her elder sister －screen idol Olivia de Havilland－were to shape successful movie careers．Fontaine and de Havilland remain the only sisters to have won lead actress honours at the Academy Awards．Yet the two sisters also had an uneasy relationship, with Fontaine recording a bitter competition in her own account "No Bed of Roses "．
    Fontaine began her acting career in her late teens with Largely less important roles on the stage and later in mostly B-movies in the 1930s． It was not before famous British film director Hitchcock spotted her a decade later that her career took off．
    Greatly surprised by her expressive looks, the suspense (悬念） master cast Fontaine in his first US film, a 1940 adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel "Rebecca"． She received an Academy Award nomination（提名） for her performance as a troubled wife． A year later, Fontaine finally won the long-sought golden figure, for her role as leading lady in "Suspicion" opposite Cary Grant, becoming the first and only actress to earn the title for a Hitchock film．
    Although her sister, Olivia de Havilland, preceded her in gaining Hollywood fame, Fontaine was the first of the sisters to win an Oscar, beating Olivia's nomination as best actress in Mitchell Leisen's "Hold Back the Dawn"．
    The dislike ,between the sisters was felt at the Oscars ceremony．"I froze． I stared across the table, where Olivia was sitting．'Get up there' she whispered commandingly," Fontaine said．"All the dislike we'd felt toward each other as children…all came rushing back in quickly changing pictures…I felt Olivia would spring across the table and seize me by the hair．"
     Olivia did not win her first Oscar until 1946, for her role as the lover of a World War I pilot in Leisen's " To Each His Own"． Fontaine later made it known that her． sister had slighted her as she attempted to offer congratulations．“She took one look at me, ignored my hand, seized her Oscar and wheeled away,” she said．
    The sisters were also reportedly competitors in love． Howard Hughes, a strange businessman who dated the elder de Havilland for a time, offered marriage to Fontaine several times．"I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be extremely angry because I beat her to it!" Fontaine once joked．
     As her film career fruited in the 1950s, Fontaine turned to television and dinner theatre, and also appeared in several Broadway productions, including  the Lion in Winter"． Anything but the ordinary lady, Fontaine was also a licensed pilot, a champion balloonist, an accomplished golfer, a licensed decoration designer and a first-class cook．
55．When she moved to California, Joan Fontaine was       years old．
A． two            B． twelve        C． twenty D． twenty -two
56．Fontaine did not become successful or popular until the _       ．
    A． 1930s          B． 1940s         C． 1950s           D． 1960s
57．Fontaine won her Oscar for her role in the film of “          ”．
    A． Rebecca '       B． Suspicion
C．To Each His Own  D． Hold Back the Dawn
58．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A． Olivia preceded Fontaine in getting married．
    B． Olivia gamed Hollywood fame after Fontaine．
    C． Fontaine won an Oscar before her sister Olivia,
    D． Fontaine wanted to meet her death before Olivia．
59．The dislike between Fontaine and Olivia began when they        ．
A．competed for an Oscar B．competed for a husband
C．were small children D． were successful actresses
60．As can- be seen from the passage, Fontaine was a person who was        ．
    A． disliked by her family B． always a troubled wife
    C． able to do few jobs D． gifted in many ways

22. I prefer Lynne Truss’s phraseology (措辞): I am a grammar “sticker”. And, like Truss ― author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves ― I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.
    Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be stuck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job ― even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.
    Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit and Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.
    Of course, we write for a living. iFixit is the world’s largest online repair manual (说明书), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and stepby-step user manuals. So it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.
    But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between “their” “there” and “they’re”.
    Good grammar makes good business sense ― and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.
    Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing ― like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren’t important.
54. The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that__________.
  A. grammar mistakes can’t be tolerated       B. books on grammar makes people stupid
  C. people need to learn basic grammar          D. grammar mistakes are ly unavoidable
55. What’s the author’s “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?
  A. They should be left out for a job              B. They have to correct their mistakes
  C. They aren’t qualified for their job             D. They must be severely punished
56. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?
  A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.  B. They are companies where one learns grammar.
  C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.        D. They depend on grammar for a living.
57. What can we learn from the text?
  A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.
  B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.
  C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.
  D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.
