三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共50分）

Passage 1

Not long ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mail slot. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are rendered at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.

So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks.

With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmases past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket.

Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn’t enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. “I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that’s fine,” the gesture said. “I want $30, or I'll ‘forget’ to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.”

I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check.

But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. “Are you Mickey?”

The man looked at him with scorn. “Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling.” Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else?”

Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette could have been avoided. Under “trash/recycling collectors” in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: “$10 to $30 each.” You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.

71. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because ______.

A. he forgot to write a few words on it
B. he wanted the couple to send it back
C. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip
D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person

72. From the passage, we learn that the author ______.

A. didn't like Raoul's way of delivering the paper
B. didn't realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way
C. didn't know that Raoul came very early in the morning
D. didn't feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came

73. According to the passage, the author felt ______ to give Raoul a holiday tip.

A. excited

B. delighted
C. embarrassed

D. forced
74. Which of the following is CORRECT about Mickey, the garbage collector?

A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.
B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.
C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.
D. He collected both the cheek and the garbage that day.

75. Ed's encounter with the recycling team shows that ______.

A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake
B. Ed only wanted to give money to Raoul
C. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver
D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money

六、写作（共20分）

Write a composition of about 300 words on the following topic:

Education as a Lifelong Process

范文参考：

What is education in present-day society? Some people still cling to the idea that education means going to schools or colleges. In their eyes, the sole purpose of the scholastic education is to secure good jobs and guarantee a life-long well-being. However, such traditional conception of education has been rejected as outdated by more and more people, who view education as a life-long process. Personally, I side with the latter, in the belief that the new concept of education makes a great deal of sense to modern people.

In the first place, the sort of formal education, or schooling, is no longer adequate for our profession. In an era of information explosion, it is imperative that we update our knowledge constantly. We may acquire a lot of expertise in schools or colleges. We may also find ourselves well tailored for the posts we hold after graduation. However, we still soon feel out of place if we rest content with what we already have. Just take the operation of computers for example. The software is upgraded at very quick intervals. For an employee who depends heavily on computer operations, the failure to keep pace with the development of the software will put him or her on the verge of unemployment. No doubt, this is also true of any other field. A professor of linguistics must acquaint himself with the state of art if he wishes to maintain his academic post. A lawyer needs to get informed of the latest modifications of the law if he does not choose to lose his clients. Admittedly, education can be job-oriented. But what is at the core of the issue is that for the sake of job holding and job jumping, we cannot afford to educate ourselves once and for all.

Equally important, the sort of fixed schooling cannot satisfy the growing needs of our daily life, either. For a start, we may consider the need of accessing the resources on the internet. As far as I myself am concerned, I had no relevant lessons when I was in college. I took to playing chess after I began to work, yet I did not always have good partners. Later I was told I might find some on the internet, which was, however, all Greek to me at that time. So I attended some training classes and finally was able to enjoy myself in the wonderful “world”. There are always new needs, to be sure, such as the need to drive a private car, the need to raise pets, the need to go abroad, and what not. For all those needs, we must take relevant courses or teach ourselves. A modern man is by definition one who can always take advantage of modern science and technology. If a person does not learn to make a code phone, purchase goods with credit cards, etc., he will fail to be modern. He will be handicapped in one way or another, for he will lose the ability to embrace the whole of the modern world.

From the discussion above, we are now in a position to conclude that education, which is of lasting significance to our life and work, should extend throughout our lifetime. One is never old to learn. Or one lives to learn. Mottoes of this kind are educational. To me, these proverbs have taken on a modern sense. That is, we do not simply learn life experiences all our life; we also acquire, at all stages of life, knowledge of all sorts for both vocational and recreational purposes.
