It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”
“To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the

We gather a great amount of incidental knowledge from pets. If we look after them properly we learn what they like and dislike. We do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way. It is got without our realizing it.
In keeping our dogs or cats we learn about different diseases that can affect them, and the cures for these diseases. We learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthy. In looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water. We get to know what kinds of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile (敌对的) to each other. We learn that animals, fish and birds have a lot of things in common with human beings.
If children keep pets, their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge. One little incident after another in which their pets are involved adds to their store of learning. It is a more interesting form of learning than that given in the biology lesson in school. People who keep pets should have a sense of responsibility towards them. Children, too, should be taught to be responsible. Pets are completely dependent(依靠) on their owners and the owners should respond to this dependence by looking after them. Irresponsible behavior towards pets is a form of cruelty.
In deciding to keep a pet we take on a task, we make ourselves responsible for providing proper food and shelter for the pet. In a crowded city like Hong Kong, where there is so little room for the exercise required by large pets, we should think twice before undertaking the responsibility of keeping one.
63. In keeping pets, we learn that ___________.
A. pets dislike human beings
B. pets share what we have
C. human beings can gain knowledge by keeping pets
D. pets and human beings gather a great amount of incidental knowledge
64. For children ___________ .
A. keeping pets widens their general knowledge
B. keeping pets adds to their trouble
C. all kinds of knowledge are gained by keeping pets
D. incidental knowledge is more important than general knowledge
65. In the last paragraph, the word “twice” can best be replaced by “___________”.
A. later
B. two times
C. second
D. carefully
66. In Hong Kong, it is not proper to keep large pets because ___________.
A. they eat a lot
B. they rely too much on people
C. there is little room for them to move around
D. the responsibility is too great
D
CATV is a short way of saying "community antenna (共用天线) television". But "cable television" is the term most people use. Cable television allows viewers to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their regular antennas.
Television signals do not follow the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move towards the horizon(地平线)and then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a TV station, you may get a good picture on your set. But if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictures at all.
CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations shared the cost of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge.
CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather
report, and farm and school news at no extra charge.
Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with regular antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.
67. From the first paragraph we know that ___________
A. most people use cable television
B. "community antenna" is another name for "regular antenna"
C. a community antenna is used for cable television
D. regular antennas cannot pick up TV programs
68. Of the following, which is NOT the way TV signals travel?
A. In a curve.
B. In a straight line.
C. In all directions.
D. Towards the horizon.
69. On the whole, this passage is about _______.
A. how to put up high antennas
B. a way of picking up better TV programs
C. how to use the empty channels on your TV set
D. the way that TV signals are sent
70. From the passage we can infer that ___________________.
A. TV has begun to be used for educational purpose
B. there is no charge for CA TV
C. cable TV cannot be used in mountainous areas
D. antennas for cable TV are usually put up in the centre of a community

注意：每空仅限1个单词。

While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American English and British English are the two major ones. The following is meant to point out the differences between them.
In British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example: I’ve lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In American English: I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?
There are two forms to express possession (所有物) in English: have or have got. Have got is generally the preferred form in British English while speakers of American English employ
（使用）the “have”.
The major differences between British English and American English lie in the choice of vocabulary. Some words mean different things in the two varieties for example: Fall: (American English—autumn; British English—drop)
Many vocabulary items are also used in one form and not in the other. One of the best examples of this is the terminology (术语) used for automobiles. Americans say truck, while British people say lorry.
There are also a few differences in preposition, including the following: On the weekend (American English); At the weekend (British English).
The following verbs have two acceptable forms of the past participle in both American and British English, however, the irregular form is generally more common to American English.
Finally, there are some general differences between British and American English.
Words ending with –or (American English) and –our (British English): color, colour, humor, humour, flavor, flavour, etc.
Words ending with –ize (American English) and ise (British English): recognize, recognize, patronize, patronize, etc.

I was on my way to the cinema this afternoon when I happened to see a case fall off a man’s bike. I shouted at the man the moment I picked it up, however, he was riding too fast to hear me.
I was wondering what I should do when an idea suddenly struck me. I stopped a taxi as quickly as I could so as to catch up with the man. Getting the case back from me, the man was so grateful to me that he insisted on offering me some money as a reward. But I refused him politely. I went back to the cinema by taxi. To my surprise, the driver didn’t accept the money because he was very moved at what I did. How proud I was!。
