III. Reading comprehension
A
In Duan Lixin's bank account, there is 1,400 yuan, payment of her writings during the past seven years. The money is likely to grow to 4,000 yuan before long, as her first collection of fairy,cartoons "Planting the Sun" was published.
She has many ideas about how to use the money. For instance, she wants to do something for the "One Plus One project" --an educational fund(基金);she also wants to buy "'The Complete Works of Lu Xun". And the idea to own a computer has been in mind for so many days and nights.
In fact, Duan is in greater need of money than anyone else. Seven years ago, she was found with lupus erythematodes(红斑狼疮),and ever since her life has been threatened by death.
In the past seven years, she has been treated in hospitals across the country. Her family was put into heavy debts. Besides all this, Duan kept on fighting against the disease and comforting her parents.
One day Duan drew a picture titled" Bitter Medicine, but Good for Hearth",she mailed it to the magazine "Children's Cartoons". Thus came her fist work. At that time, she was only ten years old.
So far, Duan has had 36 fairy tales, 15 articles, and 31 cartoons published in children's publications. She has won quite a few prizes in the local or nationwide competitions.
For her, the fairy tales mean not only pretty princess(公主)but also hope and courage in the fight against the disease.
On September 1st last year, she was admitted into the Fine Arts Department of Baogang Normal University. So her years' dream of being a teacher has nearly come true.
66. The payment the little cartoonist got from the man who published her "Planting the Sun" s about______ yuan.
A. 1,400 B.2,600 C.4,000 D.5,400

Fifty people died, over 11 ,000 were injured, and 100,000 houses were heavily damaged or destroyed in an earthquake that struck Shangyi and Zhangbei counties in North China's Hebei Province.
The quake ,measuring 6. 2 on the Richter scale(里氏6.2级),hit the area 220km northwest of Beijing at 11 ; 50 a.m. on January 10, 1998
Ceng Qingguo, a researcher with the State Seuismological Bureau (SSB国家地震局) Earthquake Data and Information Center, made a report of the recent quake in November1993. Ceng said that the area of northwestern Beijing, the joint of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region(内蒙古自治区)are most easily attacked by earthquakes measuring 6 to a bit over 7 on the Richter scale.
However, scientists did not see the recent earthquake earlier. Clouds covered a large area in the northern part of North China before the earthquake. SSB experts say that this prevented satellites from correctly watching the temperature at the correct altitude(纬度).
SSB experts say that China may face a major earthquake from now through early next century. In the last ten years, about 305 earthquakes have occurred in China with 9 measuring over 7 on the Richter scale, 60 measuring over 6, and 296 measuring over 5. Tens of thousands of people died or were injured. Losses valued at over10 billion yuan have resulted.
70. This news report is mainly about ______
A. a heavy damage to people B. a number of earthquakes
C. an earthquake striking North China D. earthquake measuring on the Richter scale
71. When the earthquake attacked the area, the majority of people there were unlikely to ______
A. sleep in bed B. work in the fields C. walk in the streets D. stay at home
72. It can be inferred from the report that the damage caused by the earthquake could be less heavier if ____
A. all the people stayed outside B. the earthquake happened at midnight
C. the people had been warned earlier
D. the earthquake scale was lower than 6.2 only
