Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called mall rats. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest area with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre(公顷) park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People loved doing all their shopping in one place. More malls were built all over the country. Now, malls are like town centres where people come to do many things. They shop, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends.
In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist(牙医) and even attend church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls. Now residents(居民) can actually live in their favorite shopping centre.

Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning （克隆）has now become a reality . The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical （伦理的）questions . In my opinion , cloning is useful for research into cures for disease .However ,I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments .
Research into cloning and stem cell（干细胞）production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses . While this would improve the quality of life for many ,not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future . This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world . Furthermore , it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed（畸形的）organs .
There are also quite serious ethical issues in danger. In essence, those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere with natural processes. Producing embryos(晶胚)for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced . It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.
I conclusion I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it.
60．What is the writer’s general opinion on cloning ?
A．It is useful in every area of research
B．It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled .
C．It needs to be carefully controlled by governments .
D．It is only useful for research into cures for disease .
61．The writer’s main reason against cloning is that .
A．a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs
B．not enough is known about the effects of cloning
C．cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones
D．it would affect the quality of life for many
62．The main argument in Paragraph 3 is that .
A．scientists do not value human life
B．the process of cloning needs to be questioned
C．cloning devalues human life
D．scientists should not interfere with natural processes
63．In Paragraph 4 , the writer thinks governments should .
A．not put human life at risk
B．support all forms of research into stem cell production
C．not support any form of research into stem cell production
D．support research into stem cell production harmless to human life

American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.
64. It is _ __ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.
A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important
65. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that__.
A. he had become blind B. he had serious back pains
C. he lost his sense of taste D. he was in weak health
66. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine?
A. Serious B. Mad C. Adventurous D. Crazy
67. Which of the following is NOT true of David Blaine?
A. Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.
B. Blaine was born and brought up in England.
C. In Blaine’s opinion, people can create a wonder.
D. Blaine didn’t have any food for 44 days.
D
Although there are no state controlled survival courses(生存课程)in Britain or the United States，there are various independent organizations offering similar activities．
Students can participate(take part)in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies．Anyone can register(登记)with such groups，which then organize courses，training and trips for all members．
One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain is Outward Bound(户外训练)．It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.
The courses are intended to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem(自尊)and character．As well as specialist courses such as canoeing，leadership skills and sailing，participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills．
Michael Williams，an American student，took part in an Outward Bound course last year．He said：“We learned lots of first aid skills，lots of natural history ,lots of environmental facts, and participated in a wildlife preservation programme．Beyond that，my favourite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”
Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general good health，but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports．There is no selection process；everyone is welcome，although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity．
Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales．Another similar organization is the UK Survival School，which includes courses on learning to 1ive with the environment，sailing and winter survival．On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food, how to make fire and cook with it，to find and build a shelter，control survival life support，how to cross rivers．Send off a distress signal，and to use compasses by day and night．
According to the 1eaders，such adventures are “an awakening, an exploration into the unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body travelling some of the Earth’s roughest wilderness areas．”
68．In Britain and the United States，survival courses are popular with ．
A．dangerous people B．young people C．old people D．weak people
69．The advantage of the training courses is that .
A．participants can make friends with others
B．participants can visit some places of interest
C．participants can experience different adventures
D．participants can learn how wonderful nature is
70．In an Outward Bound course last year，the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was .
A．learning first aid skills B．collecting facts of environment
C．rock climbing and sailing D．preserving wildlife
71．What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage?
A．To introduce the training course to readers．
B．To tell readers the danger of this training course．
C．To introduce the wonders of the world to readers．
D．To persuade readers to take part in the training courses．

Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “ design museums ” that are opening today , however , perform quite a different role . Unlike most art museums , the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall .
People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology . But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products . The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something , while the second tells you the success of a sale .
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do , and how design has improved the quality of our lives . Art museum exhibits , on the other hand , would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding .
In recent years , several new design museums have opened their doors . Each of these
museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Design Museum , for example , shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins . The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums , and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life .
72. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they .
A. show more technologically advanced products B. help increase the sales of products
C. show why the products have sold well D. attract more people than store windows do
73. The author believes that most design museum visitors .
A. do not admire mass-produced products B. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike exhibits in art museums D. know the exhibits very well
74. The choices open to design museums .
A. are not as strict as those to art museums B. are not aimed to interest the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors D. often contain precious exhibits
75. The best title for this passage is .
A. The forms of design museums B. The exhibits of design museums
C. The nature of design museums D. The choices open to design museums

阅读下面的短文，根据文章后所给的题目进行简答。
The research, which followed 200 students for four years that women consistently outperformed men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost identical A-level grades.
An analysis of the results showed that while 65 percent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 percent of male graduates did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research showed that the trend continued at university.
Fiona Smith who led the research said, “ The research shows that the difference has something to do with schools in general.”
“ It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion. Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, but they still receive less pay.”
The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
In contrast, men were likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
Generally, people think that women’s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
Dr Smith said, “Most women feel that getting grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated environment they will encounter at work. Good grades are viewed as an ‘insurance policy’ for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work.
“This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education,” he said.
1. The main purpose of the research is (Please answer within 20 words.)

One possible version :
Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss the problem of pedestrians running red lights. As we can see, some pedestrians don' t obey traffic rules and run red lights frequently, which blocks traffic and seriously affects the normal driving of cars; besides, this kind of behavior can easily cause accidents to happen, endangering the safety of themselves and others. In a word, running red lights can produce negative effects and does not do good to the development of good social behavior.
It is really a pity to see all this in our society. To deal with the situation, our government has taken some measures. When caught running red lights, the pedestrians are criticized to have them become aware of the dangers of doing this or are warned on the spot and fined for this. Sometimes the traffic policemen report them to their working unit and expose them to the public.
However, it will take a long time to stop the pedestrians doing this.

M: Mrs Whinfield, thank you very much for your allowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps me a lot to write an article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder if I could ask you a few questions.
W: Yes, sure.
M: could you tell me when you became interested in gardening?
W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fisher’s book College Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn’t know. So I started to read as much as I could and get different writers’ advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow—West London. I learned a lot from my visits. By the way, Dorset is one of England’s three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know that. I am often invited to give talks to biology students in colleges.
M: yes, certainly. That’s why I came here. Ahmm. Now what was your first garden like?
W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow—West London.
M: Do you grow many plants yourself?
W: I don’t grow may plants from seeds, but I have several friends, then we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which reminds me of so many people through the plants they’ve given me.
