No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).

For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow(彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog(雾) appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

50. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phra se ―on the way‖?

A. away

B. gone

C. disappearing

D. coming

51. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.

A. warm

B. rainy

C. clear and fine

D. cold

52. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?

A. A rainbow appears in the morning.

C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.

D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.

One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"

3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most……"

In March last year, the car I was driving was involved (卷入) in a serious accident with another car on a country road. I soon found myself at the center of a crazy activity, in the middle of doctors, policemen and passers-by. A large can opener was used to get me out of my broken car and into an ambulance(救护车).

Over the next eight hours, I was taken to hospital, tested with X-ray and diagnosed (诊断) with a broken neck. Knowing that I‘d been saved from death encouraged me throughout the long wait in the hospital and helped me deal with the countless visitors.

Only after I was sure that the last friend had left, could I direct my energies inwards. Flying in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay was the Red Cross lady, a gentle presence in white who, from time to time, came in to offer cups of tea. After the visitors had gone, she came up to me and checked if I was all right.

I found myself telling her everything about the accident, my fears for my family as a result of my injuries (伤)—about my whole life. While I waited for an ambulance to take me to another hospital, she stood by my bed and held my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I‘d hidden from my family. She listened, quiet and patient.

Even now, the knowledge that I have the ways to get in touch with her provides me with great comfort. I look forward to a day in the near future when my angel (天使) and I can meet again, in happier situation.

In times of danger, faith (真诚) can encourage us. My faith in human nature called back by the kindness of a stranger has helped to ease my journey back to health.

54. What happened to the writer in the accident?

A. She was hit by a car.

B. She was held in her car.

C. She was caught by the police.

D. She was thrown into a can.

55. The underlined word ―off-loaded‖ means_________B__in the passage.

B. put down

C. sho wed off

D. turned over

56. The most important result of the Red Cross lady‘s faith was that ______.

A. the writer got well more quickly

B. the writer missed her very much

C. the writer became much happier

D. the writer had her own faith back

Christmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large ci ties in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially shopping in large centers—is a year-round activity.

Shopping centers are good. They show Asia‘s surprising economic (经济的) growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation w ho can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort, choice, luxury (豪华) and better times.

Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre—it‘s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.

Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.

My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don‘t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the sto res could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows.

Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possibl e, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?

The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame (责怪) but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other‘s homes.

Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving t hat land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume (消费).

57. What is the writer‘s attitude towards shopping centers?

A. He likes them very much.

B. He doesn‘t like them at all.

C. He likes them only a little.

D. He doesn‘t like all of them.

58. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?

A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.

B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.

C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.

D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone‘s life.

59. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?

A. They don‘t seem to make us happy.

B. They lead us to buy more and more things.

C. They force us to give up many other activities.

D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.

60. Which of the following is not true?

A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city.

B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.

C. The government must be responsible for the writer‘s sadness.

D. Besides shopping, there‘re many other activities we can enjoy.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately(分离地) .

Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject （打针）a sick lion!

All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.

The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion's cage.

31. What kind of food must be given to the animals like tigers, lions and bears?

A. Nuts.

B. Fruit.

C. Meat.

D. Grass and leaves.

32. Some animals must be fed separately because .

A. they eat special food

B. they often quarrel with each other while eating

Father‘s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother‘s Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother‘s Day, we should also have a Father‘s Day. Father‘s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father‘s Day, though some have Children‘s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. Mor e and more countries are having Mother‘s Day, so maybe Father‘s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father‘s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do－buy a Father‘s Day prese nt for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father‘s Day present－not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father‘s Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remembe r about Father‘s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications（沟通误解）were always possible, even over something as simple as ―yes‖and ―no‖.

On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific（太平洋）, Lisa thought people weren‘t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, ―Do you have cold drinks?‖ The woman there didn‘t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛)，which in Micronesia means ―yes‖.

Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, ―Do you have cabbage today?‖ He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means ―no‖.

Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on（依据）where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean ―yes‖or ―no‖.

Our surroundings(环境) are being pollutedfaster than nature and man‘s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.

What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man — by his desire（欲望）for a modern way of life. We make ―increasing industrialization‖ our chief aim.

There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager（渴望）for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

Isn‘t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going — and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, ―I‘ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we‘re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we‘re lost and don‘t know where we‘re going.‖ The sad fact is that thi s becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.

45. What is the writer‘s purpose of writing the p assage?

B. to explain to the world ― every coin has two sides‖.

C. to make us know how serious pollution is.

D. to tell us why pollution is the natural result.
