.Sarah and Mariam looked at the glass fragments on the floor in panic (恐慌). They could not believe what had just happened.
Mariam was Sarah’s best friend. They had spent the entire day drawing and painting. Sarah’s mother had gone to the market to buy some goodies and the two friends were alone at home. Sarah decided to show her friend a very expensive vase that her father had gifted her mother on their wedding anniversary (结婚纪念日). She took her friend to the drawing room and carefully removed the vase. She knew it was not allowed by her mother but she wanted to show off a bit.
Mariam looked at the vase with wonder. When she was giving back the vase to Sarah, a disaster happened. The vase slipped between their fingers and fell on the floor with a crash.
“Oh no!” cried Sarah in panic. “What shall I do now? Mother will be so angry.” Mariam felt equally guilty (有罪的). “I know! Let us sweep up the pieces and hide them. Mother will not know that I have broken it.”
“But she will ask when she sees it missing. What will we say then?” Mariam asked. “I think the best thing would be to own up (承担责任).”
Sarah took a deep breath. “You are right.”
When Sarah’s mother came back, Sarah and Mariam poured out their tale. At first, her mother looked angry. Then she saw how unhappy and guilty they both looked. She hugged them both tightly. “I am so glad you were brave enough to own up, Sarah. I am very upset about the vase but I am happy you are both such truthful girls.”

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.
As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
60. The passage mainly tells us something about ______.
A. the past and present of British pubs B. the decline of British pubs
C. the long history of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs
61. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?
A. The credit crunch. B. The present closing time.
C. The ban of smoking. D. Having no spare money.
62. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. British people used to like drinking slowly
B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems
C. binge drinking means drinking less beer
D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking
63. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _______.
A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs
B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs
C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems
D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need
C

It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness.
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However, 1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family .People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food，they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology.If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today，the stories of the“big bad wolf'"will not disappear.
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.That has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance, the wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.
68.According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that ________.
A.there are too many wolves B.they kill large numbers deer
C.they attack cows and chickens for food D.they destroy the wilderness plant life
69.Some people are against killing wolves because ________.
A.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wideness
B.there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C.there are too many deer in the wilderness
D.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
70.According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals，________.
A.they never eat strong and healthy ones
B.they always go against the law of nature
C.they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
71.The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases ________.
A.farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
B.wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C.wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D.people will leave the areas where wolves can live

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud.As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected.I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times.I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me.Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward.My attacker rushed me again.He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused.I wasn't sure what to do.After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly.I stepped back to look the situation over.My attacker moved back to land on the ground.That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her.I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate.He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake (缘故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large.He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her.His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable.I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool.He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
72.Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
A.To get close to a butterfly. B.To look over the bad situation.
C.To escape a sudden attack. D.To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
73.What made the man feel funny?
A.Making the attacker pause. B.Being attacked by a butterfly.
C.Being stepped on by his mate. D.Discovering the energetic butterfly.
74.From this experience the man learned .
A.what he should do when faced with trouble
B.people should show sympathy to the weak
C.how he should deal with attacks
D.people should protect butterflies
75.Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?
A.Careless. B.Amusing. C.Courageous. D.Aggressive

I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep，all of which have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)

Art's Self introduction
Hello! My name's Art. I'm 74 years old and I live in a retirement community with my wife Kate. I retired about twelve years ago from the bicycle business. I was in the bicycle business for thirty-five years. Twenty of the thirty five years I ran my own business. After I decided to sell my business, I became an advisor. I worked as an advisor for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires you be forty-eight years or older. In the community I engage in many activities, oil painting, watercolor painting, stain glass projects. My major activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community, and since I play more often than I used to before I retired, my game has improved very much.

M: Let me see now. Which train do I need to get on?
W: Excuse me. Do you need any help?
M: Yes. I want to go to Tokyo Tower, but I'm really lost. This is my first visit to Japan, so I have no idea on how to ride the trains.
W: First, you need to buy a ticket to your destination. From there, it's a hundred and thirty yen.
M: A hundred and thirty yen Okay.
W: Then, get on the Hibita Subway Line at platform 4.
M: Number 4, all right. Oh, and how often do the trains come round this time of day?
W: Usually, they come about every six minutes.
M: All right. And where do I get off the train?
W: Get off at Kamiyacho Station, three stops from here. The sign at the station is written in English, so you'll be able to read it.
M: Three stops. Got it. Thanks for your help.
W: No problem. Good luck.

Okay, okay, let's begin. Hello, everyone. My name's Karl Roberts, and I'll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.
Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the introduction in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4: 50pm. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursdays in room 405 during the last two months of the class.
Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven't come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grade is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, weekly quizes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.. My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 pm on Wednesdays, and you can set up an ap?pointment to meet with me at other times as well.
