The European Union (EU) is like a wall. Some Eastern European countries like Albania want to get inside, while the UK is thinking about getting out.
On June 23 this year, people from the UK will vote (投票) and decide if the country will stay in the EU, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on Feb 19.
The EU is an organization in which its 28 member countries work together. But the UK has always kept away from getting too deeply into it. Now, 19 out of the 28 members use the same money: the euro (欧元), but the UK is not one of them. Also, some EU countries set up the Schengen(申根) area, so people in it can move freely without a visa (签证), just as we do between Chinese provinces. However, the UK chose not to join.
In recent years, the EU seems to be even less attractive to many British people. More and more foreign workers from other countries, especially those in Eastern Europe, go to Britain. And many British believe that it put a burden on the UK’s welfare (福利), reported the Daily Mail. Besides this, the country has always given money to the EU but gets less in return, according to The New York Times.
However, there are also people who want the UK to stay in the EU. They say it’s easier for the UK to sell things to other EU countries. The EU as a whole has a big say on the international stage, and leaving the EU would hurt the UK’s influence on the world. Leaders of other EU countries like Angela Merkel of Germany and Francois Hollande of France hope to keep the UK in the EU, too.
“We need to think carefully about what is best for Britain, what is best for our future,” said Cameron. And as each side has its own ideas, we may not know the result until June.
58. ___________ will decide if the UK will stay in the EU.
A. People all over the world. B. People in the EU
C. People from the UK D. The UK Prime Minister
59. ____________ members of EU don’t use euro.
A. 1 B. 19 C. 28 D. 9
60. The underlined word “burden” in paragraph 4 means ____________ in Chinese.
A. 财富 B. 负担 C. 利益 D. 增长
61. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The EU is a country which has 28 provinces.
B. People from Schengen area can move freely to the UK without a visa.
C. Everybody in the UK wants to get out of the EU.
D. Leaders from Germany and France want the UK to stay in the EU.
D
Many of us now live in gated communities (封闭式社区). Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates. But are you hoping for a more open and convenient environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friends.
Turning gated communities into blocks (街区)is one way to achieve this, according to the Chinese government. On Feb 21, China said that gated communities should be open to the public.
Open communities have already become popular in many cities of other countries, like Paris, France, and New York City, US. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone.
“Humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this,” said Wang Weiqiang, an expert (专家) from Tongji University.
Another good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities, according to Professor Li Hongchang from Beijing Jiaotong University. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities.
However, not everyone likes the idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have spent money on the roads inside the communities, and they worry about safety problems when communities are open.
The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out step by step and more detailed plans would come out in the future. Also, they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu, Sichuan, and so far it has been working well.
62. ___________ can go freely inside gated communities now.
A. Everybody B. Rich people
C. People who have cars D. Only people who live there
63. A good city needs to offer people enough space because ______________.
A. humans likes to live together B. humans don’t want to stay in their own houses
C. humans need communication and sharing D. humans worry about safety problems
64. The aim (目的) of turning gated communities into blocks is _______________.
A. to let Chinese people have more houses to live in
B. to let everyone enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas and more cafes and bookstores to meet friends
C. to let people drive cars more easily on the road
D. to make the city a safer place
65. The passage is mainly talking about ________________.
A. The advantages of open communities
B. Chinese people want to have a better life
C. The Chinese government is planning to turn gated communities into blocks
D. Blocks can bring better traffic

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。(每小题2分，共8分)
We seldom describe a person with the words “pretty” and “masculine (有男子气概的)” at the same time. But South Korean actor Song Joong-ki is an exception.
Song, 30, recently started playing an army captain in the South Korean TV drama Descendants of the Sun. With Song’s performance, the soldier is sweet, strong and smart. No wonder the actor quickly became the favorite for girls around Asia in only a few weeks.
But in some ways, the role is just mirroring a side of Song that we’ve never seen. Since he started his acting career in 2008, Song has been playing a series of eye-candy (养眼的) roles because of his pretty face.
But this may not be fair because he is actually a sporty and sharp person. Song used to be a short track speed skater (短道速滑选手) when he was young. Between first grade and high school, he competed in three national competitions and won medals for his city.
Later, he had to give up the sport because of an injury. Song then started to focus on his studies, earning all A’s in senior high school and attending the famous Sungkyunkwan University.
Descendants of the Sun, in this sense, may simply be a way for Song to show off his inner masculinity.
What’s more, in 2015 Song completed his military duties (兵役), which all South Korean men have to do. This might also help him a lot with his army man role.
“I was already used to the military manner of speech and had a military cut,” he said in a recent interview. But he still spent two months getting in shape before filming started.
71. Is Song Joong-ki not only pretty but also masculine?
______________________________________________________________________________
72. What is the soldier played by Song like in the TV drama Descendants of the Sun?
______________________________________________________________________________
73. When did Song start his acting career?
______________________________________________________________________________
74. According to the passage, why did Song join the army?

Mo Yan, Song Zuying, Jiang Kun…these big names often 80 in newspapers that Wu Tianbao read. But this 12-year-old boy never thought he would talk to these famous people face to face. 81 , it happens.
From March 3 to 7, he interviewed these members and deputies(人大代表) during the two meetings held in Beijing. He was one of the 120 student reporters who got the chance to report on the yearly meetings. Xinhua News Agency chose these students from different places around the country. Just like professional reporters, they reported on the meetings by 82 .
Wu interviewed several members. But among them, he liked Mo Yan who won the Nobel Prize 83 , because Wu himself is very 84 in writing. When he saw Mo coming out of a meeting room, he rushed over quickly and asked for an interview. “He is kind and patient, just like my grandfather,” Wu said. He asked Mo about his thought for canceling(取消) zhongkao and making the school years shorter. “His answers were very nice. I feel like he pays a lot of 85 to education and teenagers,” Wu said.
The interview only lasted for a few minutes, but student reporters prepared a lot before. They learned how to come up with questions and write news stories. They often kept working 86 midnight.
But the student reporters enjoyed it. Zhao Sicheng, 12, from Zhejiang, is one of them. For him, 87 a reporter not only improved his communication skills, but he also learned a lot. “Almost every member’s answers were creative and helped solve some problems,” he said. “For example, I asked the runner Xu Dongxiang how she kept practicing running. She said, ‘Because I love it. Find something you love, and you will find it easy to stick to it.”
