Within a few short years, girls in Europe have become heavier smokers than boys, for reasons experts still fail to understand, according to a British study, presented(递交) last week to an international conferences on smoking.
People who are against smoking at the second “Tobacco or Health” conference in the Canary Islands pointed out that while grown-ups were giving up smoking in ever-growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habit, particularly girls.
One 15—year—old in four is a regular smoker, according to a study made in 27 countries in Europe and the United States, Canada and Israel——Edinburgh University together with the World Health Organization.
In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or In England, one third of the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls “still fall behind” those in the Western Europe but were “catching up” quickly, said the study.
The study dealt with the behaviour(行为) of 15—year—old in seven European countries over four year periods between 1986 and 1998.
The percentages of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17 percent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary.
In the seven countries Austria, Finland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales—more girls smoked than boys in 1998, except Hungary.
56．According to the article, more and more in Europe were giving up smoking.

57．The number of boy smokers is that of girl smokers.
A．larger than B．as large as C．smaller than D．as small as
58．The country where the number of young women smokers increases fastest is .
A．Norway B．Austria C．Hungary D．Sweden
59．The main idea of the passage is .

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailor at the end of every voyage and took their wages(工资).
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stay in the water during whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.”
The sailors had heard about the captain’s cheating, so they didn’t trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
“You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor. “The fire’s warming you.”
“But it’s half a mile away!” said the sailor.
“A fire’s fire, “answered the captain. “I have won.”
The sailor came out of the water, and said, “Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can’t cook a chicken.”
“I can,” answered the captain.
“If you cook this chicken.” Said the sailor, “I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can’t, you will give me your ship.”
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said. “Where’s the fire?”
“There it is,” answered the sailor, on the shore.”
“But it’s half a mile away.” Said the captain angrily.
“A fire’s fire.” You said, answered the sailor. “If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

Millions of hamburgers are eaten by people in every corner of the world every day. Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have the most important American contribution to international eating habits.
The name “hamburger” has nothing to do with ham(火腿). It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg some time in the 1850s. The first known reference to hamburgers was in a newspaper in Washington State in 1889. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.
Now young people in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move——a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other. There have been cries of anger from Italy and Spain about making the usual four——hour lunch break short. Instead, young people have discovered a lunch for which they don’t have to stop at all.
However, there are clouds over the hamburger’s world. People who worry about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health. The packages in which hamburgers are usually served are causing serious pollution problems in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are destroying large areas of South American rainforest to produce the cheap meat they need. So, will the hamburger celebrate(庆祝) its next century?
64．In which way do hamburgers change people’s habits?
A．People can have their meals at any time of the day.
B．They can be served in any restaurant.
C．People can have them with soft drinks.
D．Meal time can be greatly reduced.
65．The hamburger, as a kind of popular American fast food, .
A．has a history of over one hundred years
B．was brought to Europe in the 1850s
C．is usually eaten with the hot dog
D．is better served in Hamburg
66．Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．Young people in Europe don’t stop to buy hamburgers.
B．It is suggested that hamburgers be eaten with both hands.
C．Some people in Europe don’t like to reduce their lunch break.
D．Young in many countries are learning how to eat in their cars.
67．The writer doesn’t believe that .
A．package for hamburgers are polluting many big cities
B．hamburgers will remain popular for the following 100 years
C．the meat in hamburgers can cause health problems
D．cattle raising leads to the destroying of rainforest
D
It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect(效果) on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe(灾害) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these extremes(极端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems. Withinhours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are locked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also certain shortages(短缺)——bread, vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer store up these commodities(goods), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for examle, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow plough is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.
68．According to the writer, Britain is a country .
A．which has regular snow B．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not catastrophe D．for which snow is a wonder
69．After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because .
A．shops have closed down
B．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers cannot produce any more
D．people eat more vegetables in winter
70．The main reason that the Britain do not buy snow—plough is that .
A．spreading salt is good enough
B．old people need more money
C．snow—ploughs are not used often
D．the hospital is more important
71．The words “two extremes” in the second paragraph refer to the countries .
A．which have lots of snow most of the year and those which never have any snow
B．which either have heavy snow or light snow
C．to which snow either causes problems or no problems
D．which either have snowploughs or no snowploughs
E
There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. Usually animals have a lower position to humans beings. However, some people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and best food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable(上流社会所喜好的) streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars(项), fur jackets, hats, and so on for pets.
In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big shops in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. On the menu(菜单)， there is a special variety of dishes for the dogs to choose from. There is a sausage(香肠) dish and a turkey(火鸡) dish, among others. For sweet food, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits(饼干).
In the United States, there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat got one hundred thousand dollars when his owner died. Besides, the owner left Kitty Cat a beautiful mansion(house) to live in. There is a person who comes to the mansion(house) every day to feed and take care of Kitty Cat.
Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don’t live in such good conditions. There is a more practical attitude(态度) toward pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have some affectionate(慈爱的) feelings for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn’t any special clothing, or jewelry, or special food for animals. There aren’t any special restaurants for dogs. There are no rich cats who live in mansions.
Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.
72．The main idea of the passage is that
A．dogs enjoy fine restaurants and beautiful valuable clothing.
B．a cat may be rich enough to go to any restaurant.
C．people in different parts treat pets in very different ways.
D．it is stupid to have clothing and jewelry for pets.
73．We can learn from the passage that
A．in all dogs’ restaurants, dogs have cheese for sweet food.
B．in some parts of the world, there is special food, clothing and jewelry for dogs.
C．some people spend more money on their pets than they could afford.
D．New York City has a lot of fashionable shops for pets.
74．Kitty Cat is a very rich cat who
A．can keep away all mice.
B．has employed a servant to take care of him.
C．lives lonely after his owner’s death.
D．owns a lot of money and his own house.
75．It can be inferred from the passage that
A．dogs and cats like to wear expensive furs and jewelry.
B．many poor people visit Nice, France, to work with pets shops.
C．people all like to buy diamonds and furs for their pets.
D．animals in some parts of the world live better than some people do.

Text 10:
Mrs. Ruth Li, a Chinese woman living in Hong Kong, was on a ship with her baby girl. The Japanese were attacking Hong Kong, but their ship sank during their voyage. Mrs Li placed her six-year-old daughter on a bit of floating wood. Later the mother was rescued, but her little girl could not be found. Many months later four thousand miles away, a group of American soldiers found a Chinese girl who was half dead. No one could tell how she had got there. She refused to talk or give her name after she came to life. When The New York Times told about the finding of the girl, Mrs Ruth Li’s sister, then in New York read the news and wrote to her sister about it. Could the girl be the lost child of Mrs. Ruth Li? The mother made the long voyage to find out. The little girl was indeed her own daughter.
