A
A plastic bridge sounds like something that belongs in Legoland. But in New Jersey, a 56-foot-long bridge crafted from recycled soda bottles, coffee cups and similar refuse has been carrying traffic for more than a year. Although the scientists who invented the plastic material used to build the one-lane bridge admitted that their technology is not yet ready for use on heavily traveled bridge, such as those in the interstate highway system, they say plastic has quickly gone beyond their expectations as a bridge-building material. Most notably, their plastic is already technically and economically competitive with wood. Building the plastic bridge was so easy that it took 11 days for three PHDs, one maintenance guy and a few helpers to do it. The price tag was$75,000-far less than the$350 ,000 a traditional wood bridge might have cost. And the plastic bridge has the added advantage of safely and creatively dealing with solid waste. Plastic is also safer for the environment. Wood used in construction is typically treated with chemicals that keep insects away, but many states have banned some commonly used treatments because of concerns that they contribute to environmental pollution. Plastic also needs less maintenance than wood, metal or concrete. Bugs have no interest in eating plastic beams, and plastic does not need to be painted.
56．Which of the following is not one of the advantages of the plastic bridge talked about in the passage?
A．It costs less money. B．It requires no repair work.
C．It’s more environment-friendly. D．It needs no painting.
57.It can be inferred that the plastic bridge mentioned in the passage .
A．is not very busy B．is very popular in the United States now
C．Is part of an interstates high way D．can be used for more than one car or bus to run side by side
58．Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?
A．A New Strange Bridge in New Jersey
B．Plastics, A new Kind of Building Material
C．Which Is Better, the Plastic Bridge or the Wooden Bridge
D．Bridge puts Recycled Plastics to Unusual Use

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when is landed upside down in three feet of water, Mr Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot(行李箱).
Mr.Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠)at Romeney Marsin, Kent, after slipping on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in slowly,” Mr.Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr.Johnson,a sweet salesman of Sittingborrne, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a halfpenny which saved my life.” It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat—and a further ten minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wretch and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr.Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket ,he said, “That night The car had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

A．luckily the door was torn away in the end B．at last the wretch went broken
C．the lock came open after all the efforts D．the chance was lost at the last minute
62．It may be inferred from the passage that .

B．the accident happened in a clear warm day
C．the police helped Mr.Johnson get out of the ditch
D．the accident was partly due to Mr.johnson’s carelessness

There is good and bad news for parents today. The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language. But “father” failed even to make it on the list of the best words compiled(编写)in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the globe. From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love”, “smile” and “blossom”.
“Mother-in-law” was also nowhere to be seen. Funny that maybe the hyphens(连字符)disqualified it.
In second place was “passion”, followed by “smiled”, “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic”, “destiny”, “freedom”, “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10.
The results were revealed by the British Council which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non-English-speaking countries.
The study was undertaken to celebrate the group’s 70th anniversary-and it threw up a few surprising entries to the list.
“It’s interesting that mother the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll(排行榜),”said British Council spokesman Greg Selby.” “It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council’s purpose-words such as ‘freedom’, ‘liberty’, ‘peace’, ‘renaissance’ and ‘destiny’”.
These surveyed were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr. Selby. This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce ,like “flip-flop”, made the list.
Famous mothers like Kate Winster, Lelle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular.
Kate,28 even pulled out of Woody Allen’s new film to spend more time with her young family.
Singer Robbie William is proud to declare his love for his mother,while comedian Peter Kay endured a marathon British tour to pay for a new house for his mom.
The mood was added to by Britney Spears,yesterday as she expressed her love for her mother. She said, “My mom was and still is a super mom. She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I relate to her so well is because she’s a young mom.” She added:” Mom, thanks for being the best role model-you rock.”
63．Which of the following is true?
A. “Father” wasn’t on the lost of 70 best words in a survey of English speakers all the world.
B． “Mother-in-law” wasn’t on the list of the best words.
C．Only in Ankara and Zurich, “mother” was voted the first beautiful word.
D． “Mother” is not the only word of the 70 that shows a direct relationship between People .
64．What can we conclude from the passage?
A．It’s Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer that made their efforts to make the word “mother” popular.
B．Kate stopped shooting a new film in order to stay with her family.
C．Peter Kay took part in a marathon in order to pay for a new house for his mother.
D．Britney Spears took pride in her mother.
65．What does the underlined words “you rock” mean ?
A．are fantastic. B．You like rock and roll.
C．it is the cradle that you rock. D．You shake.
66．What do you think is the best title of the passage?
A．Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language.
B．Mother is the first word in the English language.
C．Mother should be respected.
D．How does“mother”become the first word on the list of 70 ?

Hurricane Katrina struck the U. S. Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, destroying beachfront towns in Mississippi and Louisiana, displacing a million people, and killing more than 1,000. When levees(防洪堤) in New Orleans were damaged, 80% of the city was submerged by the flooding. About 20% of its 500,000 citizens were trapped in the city without power, food, or drinking water. Rescue efforts were so delayed and haphazard that many were stranded for days on rooftops and in attics before help arrived. The city became a poisonous pool of waste water, chemicals, and dead bodies, and in the ensuing chaos (大混乱)，mayhem and looting (洗劫) became rampant－about 15% lf the city’s policy force had simply walked off the job. The 20,000 people who made their way to the Superdome, the city’s emergency shelter, found themselves crammed into sweltering and fetid(恶臭的)conditions. At a second shelter, he convention center, evacuees(撤离者) were terrorized by roaming gangs and random gunfire. Relief workers, medical help, security forces, and essential supplies were not enough during the first critical days of the disaster.
Poor and Elderly Disproportionately Affected
As most of the city’s citizens fled the city, those without cars or the financial means to escape were left behind. The 100,000 who remained in the drowning city were largely poor and predominantly black, exposing the racial dimension of New Orleans’s persistent poverty:28% of New Orleanians are poor (twice the national average) and 84% of those are black. The elderly poor were also disproportionately affected by the disaster:70% of the New Orleans area’s 53 nursing houses were not evacuated before the hurricane struck.
A natural Disaster Waiting to Happen
Hurricane Katrina has been called the most anticipated disaster in modern American history. For years, the For years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)had ranked New Orleans and San Francisco as the two cities weakest to catastrophic natural disaster, and a day before Katrina’s landfall, the National Weather Service warned that the hurricane would cause“human suffering incredible by modern standards.”
All levels of Government Falter
Americans were shaken not simply by the magnitude(大规模) of the disaster but by how ill-prepared all levels of government were in its aftermath(后果).Although New Orleans had performed a hurricane drill the previous year, the city and state governments had no transportation or crime prevention plans in place, and suchnegligence had destructive results.
67．the passage is mainly about_____.
A．what Hurricane Katrina is.
B．Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
C．The death toll caused by Hurricane Katrina.
D．The prediction of Hurricane Katrina.
68．_____is not mentioned in the passage introducing Hurricane Katrina.

B．Rescue efforts were so delayed that many were stranded for days on rooftops before help arrived.
C．80% of the city, New Orleans, was submerged by the flooding.
D．The city and state governments had careful prevention plans in place.
69．The main reason of the uncontrolled chaos is_____.
A．many citizens were trapped in the city.
B．The people were not satisfied with the conditions of the emergency shelters.
C．Some police officers gave up their posts.
D．People were terrified by roaming gangs and random gunfire.
70．From the passage we can infer that_____.

If you want to teach your children how t o say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but…” what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day ” or“your noise was giving me a headache”leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say“I’m sorry you’re upset” ;this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person bas done.
The there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent”does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These false apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not use these false apologies.
But even when presented with examples of real apology, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A six-year-old might need to be shown that taking the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
71．If a mother adds“but” to an apology, ______ .
A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized.
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology
72．According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset”most probably means “______”
A．You have good reason to get upset B．I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
C．I apologize for hurting your feelings D．I’m at fault for making you upset
73．It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because ______.
A．It gets one into the habit of making empty promises B．it may make the other person feel guilty
C．it is unclear and ineffective D．it is hurtful and insulting
74．We learn from the last paragraph that it teaching children to say sorry _______.
A．the complexities involved should be ignored
B．their ages should be taken into account
C．parents need to set them a good example
D．parents should be patient and tolerant
75．It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ________.
A．a social issue calling for immediate attention B．not necessary among family members
C．a sing of social progress D．not as simple as it seems

Recently we make a survey of the people on physical training. Only 35percent of the people surveyed have taken part in physical activities.
Over half of the people say they haven’t got enough time to take exercise. 34.9percent of them complain they don’t have places where they can relax themselves and that there are not enough training facilities. 12.9 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers. Some of them even don’t know how to train.
For lack of physical training, many people are not in good health. People should realize the importance of it, and measures should be taken to provide people with training facilities.
