A
Owning pet birds is not just feeding them when necessary. You have to be very responsible if you have decided to keep birds as pets. If you really want to acquire a companion, think in advance whether you are able to handle it.
Depending on what pet bird you are going to have and how big it is, the cost is different. For example, the cost of a comfortable cage, the cost for nutritional food and the money for some additional things should be taken into consideration. There are also some unexpected cost. For example, when your pet bird gets sick, you have to send for a vet (兽医).
You may think that you do not have free time to have a dog so you’d better have a pet bird because it doesn’t require a lot of attention. You are wrong! Some people even do not have time for a short sleep. They will not have enough time for pets, either. For good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you can.
Also there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong again. They also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, you’d better reconsider the things.
But do not forget the great advantage of having a pet bird. In the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it comes to smarts. You can have a friend for life if
you take good care of it. It’s a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home.
51. What is the text mainly about?
A. The advantages of keeping a pet bird.
B. The reasons for keeping a pet bird.
C. Things to consider if you want to keep a pet bird.
D. Different types of pets for different people.
52. We can learn from the second paragraph that .
A. you have to be very rich to keep a pet bird
B. some cost of keeping a pet bird is unnecessary
C. it is very easy to calculate the cost of having a pet bird
D. the cost of having a pet bird is unpredictable sometimes
53. If you want to have a pet bird, you needn’t consider .
A. the knowledge about a pet bird
B. the cost of having a pet bird
C. the time taken to care for a pet bird
D. the space a pet bird needs to fly
B
Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.
However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.
The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”
Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.
54. We can infer from the first paragraph that .
A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones
B. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needs
C. students are free to use their mobile phones at school
D. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school
55. When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .
A. all enjoyed the project very much
B. didn’t know what they were used for
C. didn’t fully realize the learni ng functions of mobile phones
D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools
56. Who benefited most from the project?
A. Older pupils.
B. Pupils who were not confident.
C. Younger pupils.
D. Pupils who were confident.
57. The purpose of the text is to tell us that .
A. mobile phones can actually help students learn
B. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schools
C. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problems

Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries. Grafting (嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning. Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually.
Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield (产量) is more reliable. Cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. With more yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs.
Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. This would make plants immune(免疫的) to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. Also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning.
Through c loning scientists can develop “super” fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality. This could make for a healthier population overall. This is already being done through selective pollination(授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next level.
By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species.
62. The underlined word “optimized” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “”.
A. enlarged
B. produced
C. perfected
D. examined
63. According to the text, cloned plants .
A. have lower yield than normal plants
B. need little care from people
C. resist various kinds of diseases
D. have a short growth cycle
64. What can we infer from the text?
A. The fruits produced by cloned plants taste much better.
B. There are more cloned plants than normal plants.
C. Plant cloning can disturb the laws of nature.
D. People should avoid eating cloned fruits.
65. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To warn the negative effects of plant cloning.
B. To present different kinds of plant cloning.
C. To predict the future of plant cloning.
D. To inform us about the advantages of plant cloning.

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed.
For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
66. What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________
67. What does th e underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)
_____________________________________________________________________
68. What achievement did Nyad make in 1970? (No more than 10 words.)

69. Why did Nyad believe that she had touched the other shore? (No more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________

Once upon a time there was a rich man. He had a lot of money, but he felt unhappy all the times. Finally, the rich man left for home to look for happiness. He visited many places and met many rich men. All of them said they were not happy, too. On his way home, the rich man saw a farmer work in the field.

Chengdu is a beautiful city and attracts many tourists. Tourism can promote cultural exchange among different nationalities, which helps more people learn about the local cultures and customs. Besides, tourism can provide more chances for jobs, which leads to the quick development of local economy. Moreover, tourism can bring extra income to us and enrich our lives.
In my opinion, it’s necessary to develop tourism as it does good to both the people and the local economy. Meanwhile, the government must pay great attention to the environmental protection. Some measures should be taken to keep the balance of nature.。
