Yours ever, Xiaohua 参考答案： One possible version: Dear Bob，
It's very kind of you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I'd like to tell you something about my hometown Daocheng.
The city stands on the bank of the Changjiang River. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. The air is fresh and the rivers are clean. Its economy has been developing in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are still some problems, such as the inconvenience of transportation. And the industry here is still under development. In my opinion, Daocheng should develop its economy scientifically. I would also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we'll have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
Xiaohua

三、 阅读理解
21. Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age by
bathing the brain in protective hormones (荷尔蒙)，US researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen (雌激素)， which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age related brain decline. “When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida. “They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alternations (改变) to the brain.”
69. How do scientists know that motherhood may make women smarter? A. Many women say so.
B. They know it by experimenting on rats.
C. They know it through their own experience. D. Some researchers have told them. 70. What does the underlined word “pups” in the second paragraph mean? A. Baby rats B. Animals
C. Old rats
D. Grown-up rats
71. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the paragraph? A. Estrogen.
B. More exercise.
C. The hormones of pregnancy. D. Taking care of children.
72. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Do You Want to Be Smarter? B. Mysterious Hormones C. An Important Study
D. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter

22. It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

A.spend a long time in school B.have a good chance to get a job

14．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.”可知，受教育的人能够对整个世界都感兴趣，故B项正确。
