It wasn’t the 50 of the journey but the journey itself that was important . It was important to do the same 51 with lots of other people sometimes , to 52 a sense of a shared faith , and shared ideals . And turned round and 53 at the man beside him .

Sure , if it has a crittercam (动物随身拍)！Last month , more than 50 scientists from all over the world had a meeting in Washington DC . They talked about special cameras that allow them to see the world from animals’ points of view .Grey Marshall , inventor of the first crittercam , organized the meeting . Five years ago , he had the big idea for his small invention . While diving off the coast in Central America , Marshall noticed a shark with a parasitic (寄生的) fish on its belly . Wouldn’t it be cool , he thought , if acamera were put on that shark , just like the parasitic fish ? Marshall vegan to experiment by placing cameras on dogs and cats . The first wild animal he equipped with a camera was turtle .Marshall and other scientists have attached cameras to turtles , whales , lions and crows , The first crittrcams were a bit large , but as technology and designs improved , the cameras became smaller . Crittercams allow researchers to see where animals travel and eat , and how they live . Scientists who study crittercam videos have leaned that emperor penguins hunt under ice . They found adult green sea turtles are not actually vegetarians . The turtles eat small animals and dead fish . And just last month , researchers reported that the crows in the South Africa are even smarter than anyone knew . The clever crows not only use sticks as tools to catch insects , but they slso save their favorite stick tools to use again !Scientists hope someday to attach cameras to small animals like bats and birds . The future of animal filmmaking looks exciting .60．The idea of crittercam was inspired by _________A．a parasitic fish B．a sharkC．D．a turtle a camera61．Crttercams were used to _______A．search for animals B．photograph the human lifeC．study dogs and cats D．observe the animal world 62．Scientists have found ________ by studying the crittercam videosA．many new things about sea birds B．useful tools for the insect catchingC．some facts unbeknown to people before D．different hunting hobbies of sea animals 63．The best title of the passage is ______A．Animal photographers B．Future animal filmmakingC．Variable habits of animals D．The invention of crittercamCMy first reaction was annoyance . It was Friday afternoon , and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week . As I was leaving , a nurse brought me one more patient message . The statement read : “ Mrs . Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning . ” I smiled . Suddenly our tests were cau sing eye problems .This week my patients had questioned everything . My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room . A woman who had a mental problem was substituting (代替) St . John’s word for her medication . Now Mrs . Jones was imagining problems . I rolled my eyes .My second reaction was worry . As I looked through her record , I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision , but nothing in her record explained the new proble m . She’s probably just anxious , I thought . Still , she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right . I picked up the phone .What I next felt can only be described as delight . Before I made the call , the nurse ran in : Mrs . Jones called . He vision is fine . Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office . The X – ray technician has been having the same problem . I let out a laugh . Mrs . Jones had been right . Her vision had been blurred . Now we know why .Finally I felt shame . I came to realize what Mrs . Jones had taught me . I had first known she was wrong , that her anxiety had clouded her judgment . Instead , my medical training had clouded mine . Now I feel thankful that Mrs . Jones figured it out before I made a mistake aboutour relationship . Patients come to me for my help . They pay me to listen , diagnose (诊断) , treat and talk . That suggests trust ; I must remember that , and trust them too .64．The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew ________ A．Mrs .

Each convivium organizes , debates , shows and other events .All Slow Food events and activities are based on two fundamental principles : the importance of conviviality and the right to pleasure . They have a manifesto (宣言) which reads : Let us rediscover the flavors of regional cooking and remove the harmful effects of Fast Food . In the name of productivity , the Fast Life has changed our way of being and threatens our landscapes .Slow Food believe that any traditional product represents the flavors of its region of origin , as well as local customs and ancient production techniques . This is why they are working to protect historic cafes , inns and restaurants around the world , as well as agricultural heritage –crop biodiversity , traditional farming techniques and sustainable development .It is certainly ironic (讽刺的) that Slow Food has become a fast growing movement . If it wants to keep up with the success of the movement , the snail will have to speed up . 68．Why does Slow Food chose snail s their logo ?A．Snails tastes good and deliciousB．The movement develops very slowlyC．Snail can be found everywhere in the worldD．The movement shares what snails symbolize69．The Slow Food movement ails to __________A．change people’s attitude to towards food consumption and productionB．debate the global standardization of methods of food productionC．warn people of the disadvantages of fast foodD．show the characteristics of slow food70．The Slow Food members may not agree that ________A．the flavors of regional cooking can be developed worldwideB．some traditional products stand for local customs sometimesC．traditional farming techniques should be protectedD．the Fast Life has bad effects on our life styles71．What’s the purpose of this passage ?A．To persuade consumers to join in the movement .B．To show an interest in the food productionC．To introduce an international organizationD．To express his opinions about way of life .EToday we are living in the Age of Technology . Things that were once viewed as Science Fiction are becoming a reality . We either accept these changes and move with the times or we resist and become technophobes .The reality is much simpler than saying that technophobes fear technological advance . Technophobes are anxious because the environment in which they live and work is changing . They suffer feelings of self doubt and anxiety . They often feel insecure and obsolete . Some worry that they will lose their job because they cannot keep up with the times . In more extreme cases , technophobes convince themselves that technology will take over the world or that humans will be controlled by computers and robots . At other times they are afraid that if they press the wrong button on their keyboard , the computer will explode .In most cases technophobes belong to older generations who were not brought up playing with computer games and mobile phones . They have never sent a text message or heard of an i –pod . Not only do they not possess a DVD , they still have not worked out how to use their VHS (家用录像机) . It is understandable that technophobia exists . Experts in the field of technology are becoming younger and younger . Being taught by somebody who is young enough to be your grandson goes against the laws of nature . Traditionally information and knowledge has been passed down from older generations to younger generations . Young people were taught to respect their elders in part because of the knowledge thy possess . If this system is turned upside down , then what happens to the respect for our elders ?If ignorance is , in most cases , the cause of technophobia . then it follows that knowledge and learning is the way to improve the situation . What technophobes need is information . Simple computer classes often prove highly successful , especially where the student groups are made up of peer groups . It is equally important that groups of technophobes who have decided “ to give it a go ” have an appropriate teacher ; somebody as similar as possible as themselves in age ; somebody who will send out a message that says “ If I can do it , then so can you ” . 72．What are technophobes ?A．Experts who are skillful at technologyB．People who don’t like modern machinesC．Teachers who can’t keep up with the timesD．Young students who lack traditional knowledge73．We can learn from the passage that the older generations ________A．may be scared to lose the respect from young peopleB．own be scared to lose the respect from young peopleC．don’t like playing with mobile phonesD．can’t afford any i – pod , DVD or VHS74．What is the last paragraph mainly bout ?A．The deep respect for the eldersB．The possible cause of technophobesC．The practical solutions to this problemD．The new system of information technology75．What is the author’s view o n technophobes ?A．It’s easy for technophobes to learn to use computersB．It’s impossible for technophobes to overcome their fearC．Technophobes can build up confidence if given proper helpD．Technophobes can be encouraged by messages in learning process .第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是李华，要给英国笔友Harry写封信，介绍你班高三最后一次新年联欢活动和你的感受。
