U2, an Irish rock band founded in the 1970s and known in the 1980s, is still very popular today. This afternoon they played a few songs from their new album(专辑), and an old favorite from an earlier record, to a small crowd at the BBC in London. It was part of a promotion(促销)schedule for the Dubliners as they publicized their 12th studio album No Line on the Horizon, which es out next week.
One of the members of U2, Bono, announced a tour starting this summer without giving much else away, and assured everyone that there would be cheap seats available in the terrible economic times. There would, however, still be expensive ones.
"Rich people have feelings too and we also want to meet them," he joked.
In this promotion at the BBC, U2 played Get on Your Boots, Magnificent and Breathe from their new album and Beautiful Day from All That You Can’t Leave Behind. While the band has played Get on Your Boots at awards ceremonies, this was the first time they had played a number of the new tunes to a non-professional audience. Of course, there were some genuine fans, including myself as a journalist.
For those who missed it, there could be a bit more U2 action in the BBC building this evening. The performers are certainly up and ready, and, if you wish, you can see them by yourself.
56. In the first paragraph we are told that U2_____.
A. will hold a concert next week
B. is busy promoting a new album
C. released 12 albums this afternoon
D. played some old favorite songs at the BBC
57. A ccording to Bono’s announcement, ______.
A. there won’t be any expensive tickets
B. the price of tickets will be reasonable
C. there will be very few concerts
D. there will be lots of new albums
58. Which of the following songs had been performed at awards ceremonies?
A. Get on Your Boots.
B. Magnificen t.
C. Breathe.
D. Beautiful Day.
59. What did the author think of the U2 performance at the BBC?
A. He didn’t think their fans would like them.
B. The performance was successful in helping sell the new album.
C. He thought non-professional audiences would like it.
D. We aren’t told exactly what he thought of it.
B
At the age of fifty, Theodore Roosevelt, a truly great president, made this ment: "Now I am fifty years old, and if I stopped learning, and stopped trying to better myself, I feel that my usefulness to the munity would be pretty nearly at an end." Those who have studied the life of
Theodore Roosevelt know that he never did stop learning. He was eager to learn all his life.
Many people have the mistaken idea that age is a handicap(障碍)when it es to learning —that you gradually lose your ability to learn as you grow older. Surveys show that the ability to learn does not diminish greatly after 20, said Dr. C. Ellis Nelson, a well-known professor in Texas. These tests show, said Dr. Nelson, that in terms of reading and vocabulary there is no significant difference between being 20 or being 60. People aged 20 may show greater facility for mathematics, but this is due almost entirely to the fact that 20-year-olds use math all the time, while 60-year-olds don’t.
As you grow older, or if you have already reached or passed middle age, don’t fool yourself with the idea th at the ability to learn diminishes with age. It just isn’t true! You can learn and grow intellectually(智力地)as long as you want to progress and you can continue to do so as long as you are alive. That is one of the truly exciting facts of life.
Cato, a wise man of ancient Rome, was forever seeking new
intellectual worlds to conquer, and at about 80 he started to study Greek. When a doubter asked him why he was beginning such a difficult task at such an advanced age, Cato replied calmly and firmly: "It is the youngest age I have left. I enjoy it." and went on with his studies. In the end, he reached his goal.
"Age," said E. L. Thorndike, a famous psychologist, "is not
a handicap to learning." You never grow too old to learn.
60. Theodore Roosevelt d idn’t stop learning at fifty because__________.
A he felt he was useful
B. he was encouraged by his great ment
C. he believed he was never too old to learn
D. he wanted to show his value to the munity
61. 20-year -old people show greater facility for mathematics than
60-year-old people because ________.
A. they are better educated than the latter
B. they like maths more than the latter
C. they use maths more often than the latter
D. they’re required to learn more maths skills than the latter
62. The underlined word "diminish" in the second paragraph probably means"________".
A. bee smaller or weaker
B. grow little by little
C. increase
D. disappear
63. From the passage we can infer that ancient Greek was ________.
A. very interesting
B. difficult to learn
C. a useful language
D. very fashionable
C
Some people who like to eat very hot chili peppers say that they can help you breathe better if you have a cold. Others believe that chilies give you energy.
Do you want to fire up your meals with homegrown chilies? They need a warm climate. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cool, place them under glass, giving them the warmth of the sun and protecting them from the wind. You can also start the seeds in your home or a greenhouse.
If you’re planting inside, fill a 7.5-centimeter pot with soil.
The pot should have holes in the bottom for water to run out. Tap the sides of the pot to settle the soil.
Drop several seeds onto the surface of the soil, and cover it with a thin layer of vermiculite(蛭石), which can hold air, water and nutrients. Then cover the pot with a see-through plastic bag and place it in a warm area.
When the chilies start growing, take off the bag. When the plants have grown to about two centimeters, place each one carefully in its own 7.5-centimeter pot.
When roots start showing through the holes in the bottom of the pot, transplant each of them into a 12-centimeter pot. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie them to a stick placed in the pot to support them.
At thirty centimeters, pinch off the tops of the chili peppers with your fingers to make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer, and if the weather is warm, put them into five-liter pots and place them outside. Make sure they get lots of light and water.
64. When the plants grow to two centimeters, you should ______.
A. take the plastic bag off the plant
B. place each of them into separate pots
C. tie them to sticks to support them
D. transplant them into a 12-centimeter pot
65. The underlined expression "pinch off" in the last paragraph probably means "______".
A. hold up
B. break up
C. leave out
D. take down
66. Based on this passage, how many times should you move a chili plant?
A. Once.
B. Twice.
C. Three times.
D. Four times.
67. From the passage we can learn that ______.
A. people who like eating chilies are energetic
B. the plants should be fertilized when they blossom
C. the pot has holes in the bottom to let the air in
D. it’s quite easy to grow your own chilies
D
It’s hard to believe that the UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. In some areas across the country, we have witnessed the lowest levels of rainfall in twenty years and as a result our reservoirs (水库) are under great pressure.
On an average day, a person in the UK will use 150 liters of water through drinking, cooking and washing. Around a third of the water will be wasted. Year after year, our daily water use is increasing by one percent, which is simply not sustainable in the long run.
The effects of global warming will place pressure on water supplies as warmer summers lead to more water use and wetter winters lead to water quality problems.
It is very important that we use water in a sustainable way. The key is not simply to limit water use through bans but to minimize the level of water that we waste on a daily basis.
Reducing waste doesn’t mean spending money, although there are water saving appliances (用具) on the market that are worth considering. By making small changes to the way we use water, big savings on wastage
are possible. Throughout the home there are a number of ways to cut down on water wastage. By fixing a dripping tap, you can rid yourself of the boring "drip, drip" sound while at the same time save as much as 5,000 liters of water a year. Turning off the tap when brushing your teeth saves six liters of water per minute, while taking a short shower rather than a bath can greatly cut wastage. If the idea of not taking a relaxing bath is too painful, why not reuse your bathwater to water house plants or plants in the garden?

68. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the serious water shortage in the UK?
A. Less rainfall.
B. Water wastage.
C. Global warming.
D. Dry reservoirs.
69. About ________ liters of water will be wasted in a four-member family
in the UK on average per day.
A. 150
B. 200
C. 400
D. 300
70. is probably a website for people to find suggestions
about _____.
A. reducing water wastage
B. increasing the level of rainfall
C. purifying waste water
D. reducing the pressure of reservoirs

It was a sunny day; my friend Jenny and I went to the City Museum to see the painting and calligraphy exhibitions.
There were many pieces of painting and calligraphy in the exhibition hall. What impressed me most was the painting which showed a dancing girl without feet, but with a charming smile on her face, as if to express her love of every minute of her life. The guide told us that the girl had lost her feet in an accident, but had persisted in her dream of being a dancer. I was so deeply inspired that I decided to study hard and enjoy every minute of my life.36744 8F88 辈! 434958 888E 袎925859 6503 攃30770 7832 砲33172 8194 膔R31748 7C04 簄22371 5763 坣h122287 570F 圏。
