He thought he had caught a cold and phoned the restaurant to ask for leave. But Tom didn't really feel ill enough to stay in bed. Instead, he decided to go to the new shopping mall to buy a watch. The mall was interesting so he spent a few hours looking around. He felt hungry and bought some popcorn(爆米花). Suddenly a large red and blue parrot (鹦鹉) appeared above him and swooped down again and again to eat the popcorn from Tom's packet.Tom was rather surprised, but he had seen the bird show at Ocean Park. He stretched out his arm and the parrot flew down and happily climbed on to his shoulder, and then on to his head.The parrot was quite friendly. So Tom just stood there with the parrot on his head.The crowd of people grew and grew. A newspaper reporter heard the noise, saw the crowd and decided to investigate. This is what happened: the parrot escaped from the owner's flat by flying out of the window. It enjoyed itself during the daytime, but when evening came the bird tried to find its home, without success.By the time the parrot found Tom, it had been free for two days and it was very hungry. It had had a drink from the fountain but it hadn't had anything to eat at all. Popcorn was not its favourite food, but there was nothing else. So when it saw Tom it was very pleased. It wanted a friend, it needed some food and it was hoping to go home.Several hours later, the SPCA contacted (联系) the owner. He came to the mall with a bag of peanuts, which the parrot liked even better than popcorn. He put the peanuts into a cage and the parrot hopped in.Tom relaxed at last. He was tired and hungry, but the Parrot's owner thanked him and even gave him a reward—just enough to buy the watch.71. Tom didn't go to work that morning because he didn't feel well.72. In order to feed some birds there Tom bought a packet of popcorn.73. Tom stood with fear when the parrot climbed on to his shoulder and head.74. The parrot escaped from a flat two days before it saw Tom in the mall.75. At that time the homeless parrot was not only hungry but also thirsty.76.

In fact, their nearest neighbors, another tribe of native people, live so far away that it takes three weeks to travel between the villages on foot. One of the few Western people to have visited the Wai Wai is Blashford-Snell. In March 2002, he speift two months visiting the tribe and offering them some help.On the last day of his visit, the village priest (牧师) asked Blashford-Snell a favor. He wanted a grand piano to put in the village church."Do you have any idea what a grand piano looks like?" asked Blashford-Snell.The priest said he had seen pictures of one in a book. Blashford-Snell didn't think he'd ever be able to play the piano but the priest said, "We are musical people." Then he said, "God (上帝) moves in mysterious ways."Back in England, Blashford-Snell was offered a 360-kilogram grand piano as a gift from the Millennium Gloucester Hotel London. Blashford-Snell and his team flew the piano as far as they could into the jungle by helicopter. But getting the piano from the landing site to the village was no easy job. With the help of a few people from the tribe, they put the piano in a sledge（雪橇）and pulled the sledge by ropes several miles through the jungle to a river. Then they loaded the piano into a boat and started up the river. Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the tribe lives. With help from more tribe members, they were able to climb to the top of the mountain carrying the piano. The piano had arrived at its new home in the Amazon!Six months later, Blashford-Snell traveled back to visit the tribe. He helped the Wai Wai record a CD to raise money for the tribe.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)：（14分）Coober Pedy is a small town in the Australian desert. It's famous not only for its 6pals (猫眼石), but also for a very unusual r 92 —the people live and work underground.Why do people choose to live under the ground? To avoid (避开) the boiling hot days and f 93 cold nights—daytime temperatures can rise to 50 *C or more and on a cold night the thermometer can hit zero. The locals say that their strange lifestyle is the only answer to the unfavourable climate. In the underground homes, the-temperature is always a very pleasant 19*C to 24"C. But that's not the only a 94 the people there don't need to pay builders if they want to build a home or make any changes.You would be very surprised to see how well people manage to live underground. They have fitted kitchens and bathrooms, sometimes e 95 spas(温泉). "People are wrong about this place," says Bev Smith, who has lived in Coober Pedy for over 30 years. "They think it's impossible to live here and that we're like primitive (原始的) cave people, but that's not t 96 . When my husband, Larry, and I first came here, there was no electricity or running water. Life was very difficult and many people decided to leave. But now, things have c 97 a lot and we're very comfortable. We now have underground shops, hotels, restaurants, cafes and churches!"Abigail and Brian Tynan left their large house in Melbourne two years ago to live in an underground home. "My mouth fell open when I saw my underground home," remembers Brian. "It was like a cave. It took us about a year to turn it into a cosy home, but we've settled in now and I'd rather live here than a 98 the ground. It's my choice and I really enjoy it."E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (14 分)Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio. Living on a farm, she quickly learned to shoot （射击）. When only 9 years old, she brought in small animals to the family table. By 16, she was selling some of the animals she shot for food. Thus she helped pay off the mortgage (按揭) on the family farm.One day in 1876, Annie heard of famous Frank Butler. He was travelling about the country performing his shooting on stage. He often accepted challenges（挑战）from people who thought they could outshoot him, but they almost never did. When Annie heard about him, she became excited. "I'll bet I can beat him," she thought. There was only one way to find out. She would challenge him. But would he accept a challenge from a girl? A girl who was only 16? He did accept. It was a close match, but Annie won by a single point. Impressed with Annie's skill, Butler asked her to join his show. She did, and she soon became not only the star of the show but also Mrs. Butler.Some years later, Annie and Frank joined the famous Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. The cowboys, Native Americans, Pony Express riders, bucking broncos, and stagecoaches each gave their performance. But the favourite of the audiences was usually Annie Oakley. Annie's fame （名声）spread far and wide. To show her excellent skill, she shot in half a playing card from 30 paces and consistently shot a dime flipped in the air. Most breathtaking of all was her shooting off a cigarette held between her husband's lips.Many stones grew about Annie s shooting ability. The following story is rather exaggerated（夸张）. One afternoon,Annie saw a raccoon（浣熊）alone up a tree. She quickly clapped her gun to her shoulder and was about to shoot when the raccoon lifted a paw and said, "Is your name Annie Oakley?"You're right," .Annie said.“Then,”said the raccoon, “you can let down you r gun. I may as well come down.” With that the animal walked right down from the tree because he considered himself shot.99.
