I hadn’t 53 a basketball in five years.
We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 40 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time 54 like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have 55 once in a while.

Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet (丝绒). After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade.. It came to stop outside the jeweller's.

Female Chinese space pioneers
CHINA plans to recruit women astronauts thanks to the lobbying of the leading women’s organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Women’s Federation（ACWF）（全国妇联）, said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight.

It began as a game: high school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer wizards (奇才) soon gained the nickname "hackers".
Police put the collar on a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One hacker was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later used a jailhouse phone to alter a police officer's credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. The hacker also used a computer to alter his college records to give himself better grades.
As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one scheme, a hacker instructed an airline's computer to give him free airplane tickets.
The U.S. government is worried hackers may break into its sophisticated (复杂的，尖端的) networks of defense computers. The government's classified secrets are vulnerable (脆弱的) because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can tap into .
In November 1988, a college student tapped into a non-classified U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer program that left copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use each "viruses " to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.
The incident put the spotlight on computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.
The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. It fears a hacker could inject a virus into military computers that would erase all the data during a war.
Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. will be working to frustrate the efforts of computer hackers and spies.
67. The main idea of the article is _________.
A. computer hackers only want to make free long-distance phone calls
B. the government wants to hire computer hackers to spy on the Russians
C. computer hackers are a threat to private companies and government secrets
D. many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers who carry viruses
68. A hacker can be dangerous because _________.
A. he knows how to make free long-distance telephone calls
B. vital information is stored in computers, and a hacker knows how to change or erase the information
C. once in jail, he can use a telephone to operate his computer
D. a hacker who steals a free airplane ticket might deprive a doctor of that seat on the airplane
69. U.S. government computers are vulnerable to a hacker because _________.
A. the government always pays its telephone bills on time
B. the Russians know what's in the U.S. computers
C. viruses attack only government computers
D. many government computers are connected by telephone lines
70. In the future _________.
A. Some of the most brilliant minds in America will be working to try to stop computer hackers and spies
B. hackers will begin invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses
C. many computer hackers will be arrested for making free telephone calls
D. some computer hackers will turn themselves in to the police
E.
Animal experimentation is the backbone(支柱，基础) of American research and treatment of disease. Each year, 17 million to 22 million animals are sacrificed in the name of science. While 90 percent of them are rats and mice, 180,000 dogs, 50,000 cats, 61,000 monkeys and 554,000 rabbits are done away with in laboratories operated by industry and government.
But the public has raised an outcry over these deaths. Spurred vivid reports of cruelty, the animal rights movement is made up of 7,000 organizations with 10 million members. They've documented cases in which monkeys were isolated in steel tanks for 45 days and dogs were bombarded with radiation or chemicals until they bled from the mouth.
Scientists say such incidents are rare. Laws have been passed to govern testing. Many research centers now have committees to review all proposed animal experiments, and computers can be used in place of animals in many experiments. But scientists say they can't do without animals to test new drugs and treatments on animals to make sure they're safe for humans. Animal experiments produced vaccines or treatments for diseases such as diabetes(糖尿病), and techniques used in open heart surgery. They're important to efforts to find a treatment for AIDS.
Animal rights activists have shown they will go to almost any length. One New York researcher received more than 10,000 protest letters following publicity of her experiments in which she gave drugs to monkeys. The researcher was studying drug addiction. A protester was arrested in Connecticut for placing a pipe bomb outside a company that used animals in tests. After fires and break-ins, many labs have bought electronic locks and alarms for protection. Other targets of the animal rights movement are the fur industry, farms, and school biology classes in which children dissect(解剖) frogs.
The movement has scored some successes. A dozen states no longer allow pounds ── places that accept dogs and cats that have no homes ── to sell animals to scientists. Scientists claim the cost of their work will rise as a result.
The battle between scientists and activists raises a basic question: Can modern society be both humane in its treatment of living things and advanced in its treatment of disease? It seems certain there will be new restrictions placed on the use of animals in scientific experiments.
71. The main idea of the article is ____________ .
A. fewer animals should be taken to laboratories
B. Americans are questioning the use of animals in experiments
C. mice and rats make the best subjects for experiments
D. scientific experiments can be carried out without animals
72. Animal experiments will probably continue because ____________.
A. scientists insist they are harmless
B. the groups that oppose them aren't very big or powerful
C. they are critical for understanding and curing human disease
D. there are enough regulations to protect animals from abuse
73. Proponents(supporters) of animal rights are most convincing when they ____________.
A. explode bombs at laboratories that conduct scientific tests
B. point out the diseases that have been cured by scientists
C. threat their own pets kindly
D. give examples of animals that were mistreated in labs
74. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means___________.
A. scream B. alarm
C. protect D. protest
75. The animal rights movement is ____________.
A. not very successful in passing laws to protect animals
B. trying many different approaches to accomplish its goals
C. more interested in protecting dogs than in protecting mice
D. supported mostly by people who dislike scientists

Trees should only be pruned(修剪) when there is a good and clear reason fordoing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cur out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, or that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce the risk as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.
76. _____________for pruning a tree
|
Reasons | If not pruned, branches of a tree 77. and a tree will grow in its own way. |
| 78 | To make sure that trees have a desired shape or size and to 79. . |
| 80. | Pruning should be done in winter because the shape of a tree 81. clearly without the interference from the leaves and 82. __can do pruning more easily. |
| 83. | It is essential to make the cuts/wounds 84. _______ and the risk of a pruned tree’s dying 85. as far as possible. |

It is the old man’s birthday today. Now he is sitting on a sofa alone. Maybe his wife has been dead. On the right side is a big birthday cake sent by his son. And there are also some presents given by his daughter on the left. Yet the old man doesn’t feel happy. Instead, he looks very sad because he is lonely.
Our life is getting better and better than before. Some people think that old people will be satisfied as long as they have enough to eat and drink. I think they are quite wrong. Old people easily get lonely because they have no work to do. So we should spend time together with them and take care of them in every possible way.
