阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money,  the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang's move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.

57．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?

Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co – workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates.
The online survey of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession（衰退） and financial markets remain declined, many people are reminding themselves that money can’t buy happiness．
The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in August 2009, and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women．
“Because they are happier with non-economic factors, women’s happiness is more recession-proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are,” Nielsen Vice President of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement．
Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than Japanese men．Women are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions of their happiness in the next six months．
Women were also more content with their marriage life, the study found．Japanese and New Zealand women reported the greatest difference in satisfaction with their marriage life．
Men are generally happier with their physical health than women, and this is especially pronounced in South Africa．Egypt bucks the trend, with women rating their happiness with their health considerably higher than men．
Globally, men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women．It was the same in Belgium, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Egypt, and Israel．
There are three main drivers of happiness globally, according to the study: personal financial situation, mental health and job/career．Being satisfied with your partner is also important for happiness．
61．The passage mainly centers around ______．
A．key drivers leading to happiness
B．a study on happiness between sexes

An old story goes as follows．King took another wife, who had a magic mirror. The queen often asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?” The mirror answered “You, Queen, are the fairest of all,” and the Queen was content, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth．
Inspired by the fairy tale, a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared （红外线的） technology that sends a live video to any cell phone, e-mail account or personal digital assistant （PDA） device selected by a shopper．
Christopher Enrich, chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson, said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends — even they are far apart．
“She could be in Paris, your mom, watching you try on your wedding dress（while you are in New York）,” Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive （互动的）mirror at a  trade show．
Using the interactive mirror, a shopper’s friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on．
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled （面板） mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories （配件）, Enright said．
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database, and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on．
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like．
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping．“This is ．．．adding technology to something we already do,” Enright said．
66．The interactive mirror mentioned in the text ______．
A．involves modern technology and great advantages
B．allows women shoppers to select clothes at home
C．was displayed and sold well at a trade show
D．spares people’s trouble of going shopping
67．Which is the most possible order according to the passage?
① Shoppers’ friends or relatives text message back with comments．
② Mirrors send a live video to any mobile phone, e-mail account or PDA．
③ Consumers make a final decision．
④ Shoppers try on the clothes．
A．①②③④        B．④③②①  C．②①④③    D．④②①③
68．From the passage we can conclude that ______．
A．the interactive mirrors will surely promote sales on a large scale
B．the designer of the mirror has profited a lot from the invention
C．the new shopping technology would cater to fashion hunters
D．the digital mirrors will replace all traditional fitting-rooms
69．Which of the following descriptions about the touch screen is true?
A．It enables a shopper to order a suit which is not available now．
B．It allows shoppers to “try on” chosen clothes without putting them on．
C．The touch screens are distributed on three more panels．
D．It provides information merely about shoes and accessories．
70．What is the text mainly about?
A．The great influence of a fairy tale．
B．The development of the interactive mirror．
C．Working principles of a digital product．

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题．每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
As we all know, being successful is closely tied to what your attitude is．Today we are going to look at four common beliefs/attitudes held by many that may affect their being successful in many aspects of their lives．
1．Being Lucky
It is all too often people consider the good fortune of others as being the result of pure luck．What a copout! By having the mindset（思维定势） that luck is something that randomly falls out of the sky, many people put limits on themselves as to what they could have accomplished．
2．Associating Displeasure with Work or Study
Think about how you can perform well in an environment that is boring or unappealing to you．To most failures, I assume your failure is mainly because your heart is not into it and your attitude therefore does not allow you to be at your most productive．
3．__________________________________
A commonly accepted belief is：to be successful you MUST devote many hours along with many years．As a matter of fact, long hours and hard work doesn’t necessarily mean success．After all, success depends on many factors．
4．Self Imposed Limitations
Many have grown to believe they can not achieve success due to a variety of reasons．In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can not succeed than efforts leading to success．
The only limitations we face in our lives are the ones we place upon ourselves．If you are not willing to remove some of these limitations and at least try, you would be content with what you have in life and never possess success．
76．What is the purpose of the writer? （Please answer within 30 words．）
____________________________________________________________________________    
____________________________________________________________________________    
77．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
Actually, many people would rather make an excuse for their failures than attempts for their success．
____________________________________________________________________________  
78．Fill in the blank in the passage with proper words．（Please answer within 10 words．）
____________________________________________________________________________ 
79．As a senior school student, which of the beliefs above might affect your success, and how would you overcome it? （Please answer within 30 words．）
___________________________________________________________________________
80．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．
