Along the seashore(海边)，the tall coconut(椰子)trees waved in he wind. The sand was white in the bright sun, and the ocean was dark blue. The houses in the town near the shore, were painted white.

But today was a holiday, and everyone was preparing for the celebration that was going to take place that evening.
In the distance, men could be seen climbing the coconut trees. They were singing as they worked. There were monkeys in the trees, too. The monkeys were jumping up and down and screaming angrily. The climbers just laughed at the monkeys and continued to pick the fruits.

Learning to communicate in another language may be challenging, but it is also a very
rewarding and enriching experience. It is the best passport to discovering another culture. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of the experience.
Work at your own pace.
Make the most of the time you have available to study. You will find you can learn more effectively if you study for half an hour every day, rather than try to do a whole unit in one sitting.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will give you extra motivation to keep working.
Remember that you can go a long way with just a little language.
Even if you feel unsure about your ability to form right sentences, you’ll find that it is possible to communicate with just a few words. Above all, don’t worry about getting things wrong: people will still be able to understand you. The more confidence you gain in communicating, the more fluent you’ll become.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently. Put words into sentences to fix them in mind, and come back to them later. Learning vocabulary in this way is usually very effective.
And most of all, have fun!
61. Learning to speak a foreign language is the key to enjoying another ______.
A. challenge
B. culture
C. experience
D. discovery
62. In the writer’s opinion, it is better to study ______.
A. for half an hour every day
B. a whole unit at a time
C. more than an hour a day
D. at any time in the day
63. The writer advises you to learn a foreign language ______.
A. all by yourself
B. at home
C. by traveling around
D. with someone else
64. This passage is basically about some ______ of foreign language learning.
A. news
B. notices
C. suggestions
D. advertisements
C.
The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases. combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global
crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or S10 billion altogether.
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods — tree crops, grasses and wood products — but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.
Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond — which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather — can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.
65. An international fund based on the Malawi model would______.
A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year
B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries In a year
C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices
D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds
66. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______.
A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas
B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank
C. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way
D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale
67. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weal
B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor
C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.
D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.
D
On Wednesday the Chinese government called for schools nationwide to teach students about the swine flu and its prevention.
The campaigns should be launched as soon as possible, in all schools, to raise awareness of prevention and avoid causing unnecessary panic among teachers and students, according to a
circular (政府文件) jointly issued by the ministries of education and health.
Schools should emphasize teaching students to develop good hygiene habits, such as avoiding contact with people with flu symptoms and stay in crowded places, frequently washing hands with soap and fresh water, and covering the mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
“Students in rural areas should avoid contact with pigs or pig farms,” it said.
The circular asked educational administrative departments and all schools to increase efforts to keep campuses clean and well-ventilated (空气流通的).
“Schools, those in rural areas in particular, must strengthen management if any pigs are raised within campuses,” it said.
The circular stressed that all school cafeterias should make sure pork is cooked thoroughly.
“Hygiene administrative de partments (监察部) and disease control and prevention centers should promptly report suspected cases of the disease,” it said.
China has no reported swine flu cases, but the possibility should not be ruled out as the swine flu is already spreading in some countries.
68. This article can most probably be a _______.
A. diary of an official
B. report in a newspaper
C. composition of a student
D. letter from a doctor
69. From the context, we can infer that the underlined word “hygiene” means ______.
A. being diligent and busy
B. being careful and closed
C. being optimistic and active
D. being clean and healthy
70. What would be the main idea of the passage?
A. Don’t eat pork that is not thoroughly cooked.
B. Simply wash your hands with soap and water.
C. China urges flu prevention education in schools.
D. Hygiene administrative departments are busy now.
71. We can infer from the text that ______.
A. The swine flu has caused a big panic in schools.
B. It’s impossible to cure patients of swine flu in China.
C. The swine flu will spread in Chinese schools sooner or later.
D. China pays special attention to the safety of the school students.

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat by climbing to the summit(山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along
its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming. Hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano is plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night. the burning lava quietly falls down tae side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down .
72. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C. To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
73. Antigua is a city _____________ .
A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals
B. where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C. that gives a close-up view of Paraya
D. that is famous for its tour companies
74. Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________________.
A. walk directly to the active summit
B. hear the continuous loud noise from above
C. make greater efforts than to other summits
D. see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
75. Many tours are timed for people to ________________ .
A. get down the mountain in time when night falls
B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D. appreciate the scenery of the 2560-metre-high mountain

The people below are now traveling in the U.S., and now looking for a park to visit. After the description of these people, there is information about six American parks A-F. Decide which park would be most suitable for the person mentioned in questions 61-65 and then mark
the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph about one park which you don't need to use.
_______1. Lisa is a naturalist. She loves the outdoors and is fascinated with adventure and all types of wildlife. Along with enjoying wildlife she also has a passion for backpacking and hiking. Lisa is also interested in photography and will climb as high as needed to get that great shot.
_______2. Martin, who is specialized in geography, would like to see a park which is filled with exciting discoveries of facts about the earth movements. He also hopes to observe the changes in rocks due to time and erosion.
_______3. Kelly, just graduated from university. Her major is archeology. She is interested in ancient finds such as: fossils of animals and plant life, old pottery and especially things dating back to the prehistoric age. Kelly hopes to unearth something significant so she can develop her career.
_______4. Simon is one for excitement. He enjoys all out-door sports especially white water rafting. He has been searching for a park that can fulfill his taste for adventure. And at the same time he can appreciate the beautiful sceneries along the way.
_______5. Chris is looking for something famous perhaps a "superstar" of parks. He is interested in everything from wildlife to Earth activities. He hopes he can find a park which can offer the most to him.
A. This park is a vast natural museum, and it is recognized as the lowest point in the U.S. All the great divisions of geological(地质的) time, the eras and most of their subdivisions, are represented（描写）in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley. These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earth's crust（地壳）- vast depositions, contortions, tilting, alternate risings and lowering, faulting and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks.
B. This park protects a large deposit（存放）of fossil（化石）dinosaur bones--remains of the so-called "terrible lizards" that lived millions of years ago. The dinosaurs weren't really lizards, and most of them weren't even terrible. But some of the first dinosaur fossils ever found were huge bones and teeth, very lizard-like except for their size, and so the idea of monstrous lizards was born. Today, many ideas about dinosaurs are changing, and the fossils at this park continue to help us learn more about these fascinating animals.
C. With elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Long's Peak, a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures. A large variety of animals will delight wildlife-watchers of all ages. Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color. 359 miles of trail offer endless
opportunities to hikers, backpackers and horseback riders. So far to find 60 peaks rising above 12,000 feet challenge intrepid hikers and climbers.
D. The world's largest concentration of natural stone arches is found in this park. Over 1500 of these 'miracles of nature' grace the 73,000-acre area. And it is famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion A 41-mile round-trip paved road in the park leads to the major sights, including Balanced Rock, Skyline Arch, and the Fiery Furnace. But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73,000 scenic acres.
E. Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U.S. park system and is its flagship. Visitors come to experience the park's restless geology; to see grizzlies, gray wolves, and herds of buffalo. Its turbulent（狂暴的）landscape—which remains among the most geologically active lands on the planet, with steam-spewing geysers（间歇温泉）, gurgling fumaroles, and frequent earthquakes—was protected as the world's first national park in 1872. Yellowstone and the huge tracts of national-forest land that ring it comprise one of the world's last intact temperate ecosystems—all its major species of plants and animals are still present.
F. This park has a Canyon 200 miles long and about a mile deep. Along the ride you follow the Colorado River which carved this massive canyon. At times the canyon is from 5 to 15 miles across. The Colorado River continues to shape and gouge its way through the canyon where about 90 species of mammals（哺乳动物）and some 290 species of birds live. River rafting along the Colorado River has different options for people. You can go on long trips with organizations or even take a smooth ride down the river with a picnic style lunch. 二. 根据句意选用所给短语的适当形式填空。

One Sunday morning, it was fine and the air was fresh. My father and I went to a park. After showing the tickets, we went in. Everything in the park was beautiful, so we felt very happy. However, half an hour later, we were about to take some photos when suddenly we saw a well-dressed man litter. I went to pick the waste up and threw it into the dustbin nearby. But on our way down, I was surprised to see that so many people littered and there were waste papers, plastic bags, half eaten foods, cigarette ends... everywhere from in the meadows to on the paths. It seemed as if I were walking in a world of rubbish. This made me feel very sorry and upset.
Then when we left the park in the afternoon, I kept wondering why so many people had such bad habits. What will our city, our country and our people be like if we don’t do something about it and if some people don’t get rid of the bad habits?。
