The sun is a huge, hot, bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on earth. The sun gives us light and heat.
All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. We can’t make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain (链) which stars with the sun. For example,

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route (路线): the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done make your service (服务) better?
Yours,
Tired passenger
56. This passage is _________.
A. a message B. a talk C. a story D. a letter
57. The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because _________.
A. it arrives on time B. it is not always full
C. it travels faster D. it has fewer seats on it
58. How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?
A. Ten minutes B. One hour C. Half an hour D. Nearly a day
59. The regulation say that each bus may carry _________ passengers at most.
A. 20 B. 40 C. 60 D. 129
60. From the passage we can see that __________.
A. the bus service was bad B. no passengers took their buses
C. no buses except the No. 49 bus passed Souk Road
D. the writer was always the first to get on the bus
五．词汇运用（10分）
Most people 61 (喜欢) to eat sweets and ice-cream better than meat and rice. If we eat them 62 (在┉之后) a meal, they are not bad for us. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is 63 （重要）for us to eat our meal regularly each day. When we feel 64 （担心的）or 65 （兴奋的）we may not want to eat.
When a man is worrying 66 （关于）something, it is difficult for him to swallow anything dry because he has little appetite. Many years 67 （以前）,some judges in 68（英国）often gave a man some dry bread to judge whether he was telling the truth. If the man 69 （能）not swallow the bread, they 70 (认为) he was telling lies.
