Sixty-seven years ago, Canadian doctor Norman Bethune gave up his easy life and travelled far from home to help Chinese people suffering during World War II. Thousands of lives were saved, but he lost his own because of blood poisoning.
“The selfless help of Dr Bethune is highly respected among the Chinese and will be remembered forever,” said Chinese President Hu Jintao, during his first official visit to Canada on September 9.
During Hu’s two-day stay, China and Canada agreed to build a strategic partnership(战略伙伴关系 )to steadily improve bilateral relations ( 双边关系 ).The two sides also made a series of plans for co-operation on trade ,energy, cultural exchanges and more.
People in China and Canada have had a great friendship for a long time. The earliest ties started in trade in 1780.Chinese silk, china and tea were very popular among rich people in Canada. During World War II, many Canadians like Dr Bethune made a contribution to the Chinese victory.
In 1970,an official relationship was set up .Since then, there has been an increase in co-operation across many different areas. Trade between the two sides has risen. China has become Canada’s second biggest trade partner, following the U.S. Chinese-made textiles are favoured by many Canadians.
In recent years, thousands of Chinese immigrants have moved to Canada. They have become the largest minority group there. Together with them millions of businessmen and foreign students, who often travel between the two countries, are a big help in promoting bilateral communication.

There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn .So the second factor is what happens to the individual, the sort of environment in which life is reared. If an individual is handicapped(制约)environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case of history of the identical twins. Peter and Mark ,being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes are the same .When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low-intelligence in an isolated(被隔离的)community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated(刺激)intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125,twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother’s. Given equal opportunities, the twins ,having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
61.The best title for this passage is______.
A. Measuring Your Intelligence
B .How Someone’s Brain Has an Effect in His Intelligence
C .The Case of the Twins, Peter and Mark
D .Intelligence and Environment

A. the environment one lives in has no effects on intelligence
B. one’s intelligence can have an important effect on the environment
C. the good environment one lives in has a bad effect on intelligence
D.whether the environment one lives in is good or bad has an important effect on intelligence
63.This passage suggests that an individual’s IQ______.
A. can be predicted at birth
B. stay the same throughout his life
C. can be increased by education
D. is determined by his childhood
64.The best statement of the main idea of the passage is that_______.
A. human brains differ considerably
B. the brain a person is born with is more important in determining his intelligence
C. environment is very important in determining a person’s intelligence
D. identical brains will have the same intelligence

In some children who go blind, certain parts of the brain that normally control vision appear to switch jobs and focus instead on sound, a new study has found.
The study, by researchers at the University of Montreal, involved 7 adults who could see and 12 adults who had lost their vision when they were children. Each participant sat in a room with 16 loudspeakers at different locations. The room was designed so that there were no echoes. During the experiment, the speakers irregularly produced sounds. Participants had to point to where the sounds were coming from. Meanwhile, the researchers monitored blood flow in the brains of the participants to see which brain structures were working during the task.
The results showed that five of the blind participants were very good at pointing to where sounds were coming from. In these people, blood flow increased in the visual cortex- an area at the back of the right side of the brain. This part of the brain is usually associated with vision.
The other seven blind participants showed no increase in activity in the visual cortex. These people didn't do very well at picking out where sounds were coming from. Now, the researchers are looking at whether these people have gained an enhanced sense of touch instead of sound to replace their lost vision.
The scientists say that their study shows how adaptable parts of the brain can be.
68. The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to find whether
A. blind children can regain their sight
B. blind people have a better sense of sound
C. the sense of touch is better among blind people
D. blood flow in the brains of blind people is slower
69. The participants of the experiment were asked ___.
A. to tell the difference between 16 sounds
B. to take down the time each sound lasted
C. to identify the direction the sound came from
D. to detect the number of the loudspeakers.
70. During the experiment, blood flow in the brains of the participants was measured in order to ___.
A. learn about the way they react to echoes
B. look for the way of enhancing hearing ability
C. find which parts of the brain were functioning
D. expose the relationship between seeing and touching
71. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Most blind people have a well - developed sense of touch.
B. People go blind because of the breakdown of their visual cortex.
C. Most blind people have a better sense of sound than normal people.
D. Human brains can adjust themselves after the loss of a certain function.

Indian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes(笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.
“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners(从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school, "he said. "Now it's hard to earn even f, 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it s become impossible.
Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers.
"'We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us," said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.
72. According to the passage, snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because___.
A. schools need large numbers of such teachers
B. most of them cannot support their families
C. their performances on the street are banned
D. the government plans to save the dying art
73. The purpose of the proposed "dial a snake charmer" telephone service is ___.
A. to give performance of snake dancing
B. to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C. to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D. to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
74. The word "clandestinely" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word "___"
A. secretly B. publicly C. subconsciously D. diligently
75. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.
B. Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers' job.
C. Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.
D. The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.
