I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the 21 I said, ‘Son, remember: slow and steady wins the race. Don’t you think there’s 22 to learn from the 23?
He opened his eyes wide. ‘Do you 24 next time when I’m entering for the 60-meter race I 25 wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep 26?’ I was shocked. ’27 the tortoise didn’t wish the hare would fall asleep!’
‘He 28 have wished that,’ Sonny said, ’29 how could he be so 30 as to race with the hare? He knew very 31 the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.’
‘He didn’t have such a wish,’ I 32. ‘He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on 33.’
Sonny thought for a while. ‘That’s a 34,’ he said. ‘He won it because he was 35. If the hare hadn’t 36 to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, 37 a hundred times steadier, 38 he’d never have won the race! That’s for 39.’

A
While Thais and Cambodians share the same branch of Buddhism, many linguistic and cultural traits(特点), the neighbours have had many slight quarrels over the centuries, many of which were lined to the Angkor Wat Temple.
For 500 years, from the early ninth century, Angkor Wt was the capital of Khmer(Cambodian) empire that stretched over much of modern Indo-China. The Thais captured it in 1431 and Cambodia became a battleground sandwiched between Siam, as Thailand was called, and Viet Nam.
France officially declared Cambodia a colony in 1867 but allowed Thailand control of two provinces, including Siam Reap, the home of Angkor Wat. Forty years later France regained the two provinces for Cambodia in a treaty with Bangkok.
After Cambodia declared its independence in 1953, a bitter dispute(争论)broke out between the neighbours over possession of another temple, Preah Vihear, located on a border escarpment(悬崖). The international court of justice at last sided with Cambodia in 1962.
During the rule of the Khmer Rouge(红色高棉)in Cambodia in 1975-1979, and after its overthrow, there was little formal contact between the countries.
Relations were not normalized until after the UK-sponsored election in 1993 restored democracy to Cambodia. But several borders still remain disputed.
41.The underlined word ‘it’ in Paragraph 2 refers to __________
A. Khmer. B. Angkor Wat. C. Thailand D. Cambodia
42. The two provinces controlled by Thailand were returned to Cambodia in _________
A. 1867 B. 1431 C. 1827 D. 1907
43.Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage? _________
A. Cambodia was founded in 1953
B. During the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, there was little formal contact between Thailand and Cambodia
C. Preach Vihear belonged to Thailand according to the judgement of the international court in 1962
D. Relations between Thailand and Cambodia were normalized in 1993
44.What is the best title for the passage? __________
A. Temple of Discussion B. Preah Vihear
C. The Angkor Wat Temple D. Temple of Disturbance(动乱)

Dear Sir,
I’m writing to complain about the service offered by your company.
I told your service department on November 21 that my washing machine needed repairing. Your service engineers have since been here four times-On December 11, December 19, December 25 and January 5. The problem was found out on the first visit and the wrong parts were brought by different engineers on the next two visits. The correct part was fitted by the first engineer on the fourth visit.
In short, my complaints are:
a: I had to wait three weeks for an engineer to call and nearly two months for the machine to be repaired.
b:The engineers who called on December 19 and December 25 had been given wrong information by the company, which made me take two half days off unnecessarily.
c:The first and fourth visits lasted a total of thirty minutes. But in the invoice(发票), I have to pay for four visits of four hours’ work. I will not be paying the invoice for their mistakes and I do hope to receive your answers to these complaints.
Yours,
Robert White

B. it took him nearly sixty days to get his machine repaired
C. it had been almost two months before the first engineer came
D. it took the engineers 3 weeks to find out something wrong with the machine
47. The second and third engineers brought the wrong parts because __________
A. the company didn’t tell them exactly what they should do
B. the company didn’t tell them where the correct parts were

People have been walking on the surface of Mars for more than a century in tales of science fiction and fantasy. Now, however, the possibility is real enough that many people think the question is not whether humans will go to Mars, but when they will go, how they will get there and who will go first.
No one yet knows the best way to get to the Mars. While a consensus is growing that it will be some kind of multinational effort, experts said, the feat is within the grasp on one prosperous nation like the United States, if getting to Mars has a very high priority.
The cost of such of a venture has been estimated at $60 billion or more. But Dr. Robert Zubrin, founder of the Mars Society, and advocacy group, estimates it could be done for about the price of the Apollo Moon Project, $30 billion to $40 billion in today’s dollars.
Dr. Zubrin, author of the book The Case for Mars, a blueprint for humans settling the planet, calls for an increasingly popular approach of sending unpiloted vehicles in stages to provide equipment and a way for the people who would land later to get home.
This approach would avoid the difficulty of developing one giant ship with equipment and supplies for a round trip. The first landing would be a spaceship that would be a return vehicle. It would land intact, so it could take off again, but it would have used up its fuel.
Supply and mining and processing vessels would follow. The humans would arrive at last. They would dig for the materials they could convert into fuel for the trip home.
Mars is the obvious first choice for travel to other planets. Of all the other planets in the solar system, Mars, even with its present cold, hostile environment, is most like Earth. About half Earth’s diameter with one-third the gravity and only 1 percent of the atmosphere, spacecraft have found that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted.
49. According to this passage, getting to Mars for humans __________
A. will be impossible B. will cost a lot of money
C. will be possible for a poor country D. will be very easy for a rich country
50.Which of the following would be the first landing on the surface of Mars according to the stages that the book The Case for Mars tells us? __________
A.A giant ship with equipment and supplies for a round trip
B. Supply and mining and processing vessels
C. A spaceship that would be a return vehicle
D. The humans.
51.It is found that on Mars __________
A. there is a large amount of ice at he poles
B. there is a thicker and warmer atmosphere
C. there is no gravity
D. there is a lot of water on its surface
52.What is the best title for this passage? __________
A. The Best Way to Get to Mars B. Human Will Visit Mars
C. The First Choice for Travel Is Mars D. A Study of Mars
D
The BDA’s(British Deaf Association’s) project is to train BSL(British Sign Language) teachers to attain more advanced levels of teaching skills and to address the national shortage of BSL teachers.
This project also addresses the main issue namely there are very few teachers who are currently at the level who could be trained to teach others to teach; and that they are based all over the country.
The BDA intends to do this creating an e-learning environment using the latest technology to enable teaching material to be in sigh language. By the end of the project the aim is to fastrack 24 teachers currently at Basic and Certificate Level to reach Diploma level and in addition, teach 12 of them advanced teaching skills so that they are able to teach others how to teach.
BDA research has found being caught in English through an interpreter is one of the main barriers to processing to more advanced levels. The majority of potential teachers are trapped at the lower level with only basic teaching skills. This project will intervene to break this cycle. One critical success factor is the use of technology so teaching can be delivered in sign language in a video-streamed format, via webcams and via video-conferencing.
The BDA will provide distance learning over the Internet in sign language. The teaching can also happen in real time by both student and teacher viewing the pre-recorded teaching material and discussing it via webcam. Tutorials can be one-to-one and face-to-face although at a distance by using webcams. A class of students with their tutor trainer will also be able to come together over the web by video-conferencing. Students will be able to email their tutor with questions while watching the lesson on the Internet-webstreamed material will have integral email functionality. This e-learning approach means anyone, anywhere who wants to improve their skills, can.
A National Register will be created to record numbers of teachers at each level, bring them together as a body of professions in support groups and encourage them to undertake Continued Professional Development.
53.The underlined word ‘address’ means ‘__________’
A. to speak to B. to make a formal speech to
C. to mark with a destination D. to direct the efforts or attention of (oneself ) to
54.By the end of the BDA project, __________ teachers will have been able to teach others how to teach.
A.24 B. 12 C. 26 D. 62
55. The majority of potential teachers remained at the lower level with only basic teaching skills because of __________
A. their learning English through an interpreter
B. their learning English in sign language in a video-streamed format
C. their learning English over the Internet in sign language
D. their learning English through viewing the pre-recorded teaching material
56.The BDA’s e-learning approach means __________
A. that the teaching can also happen in real time by both students and teacher
B. that tutorials can be one-to-one and face-to-face
C. that a class of students with their tutor trainer are able to come together over the web by video-conferencing
D. all the above

I marched off to the grassland with my family to hunt. We smelled moose(驼鹿). I led the family to a female moose and her calf(babies). We were close before they noticed us, and she wheeled around to fight us. I hesitated to attack, for none knew what a desperate(绝望的)mother moose would do to protect her calf. The calf screamed loudly, very frightened, making the mother more nervous. She didn’t run away, because her calf would never catch up with her and would get eaten by us. Instead, she encouraged her calf to go quickly, and she charged blindly into us. This attack was not unexpected, and we all turned away in time. She hit straight into a huge rock, got up, staggered(蹒跚)a few paces, and dropped to the ground. Thus she ended her life. Her calf would most likely live on. We had enough food and it was too much trouble to run after the calf. It had been successful hunting and we were rewarded well. Berrynose and I ate first as usual.
For the next few years, we stayed at the hill. Then we moved on to more distant places to try our luck on a herb of caribou(驯鹿). But instead of caribou, we found man work and Men. Men, they meant many things. They meant the cutting of trees, or the taking of others’ land without permission, the killing of creatures, and the slaying (=killing) of our families and relatives. The name Man we all knew, hated and feared. We also would call them plague(瘟疫)—the disturbers of peace and the bringers of sorrow. Now in my land I saw the building of man’s houses, and with them the sheep and cattle. Those are fools, disgraces(不体面)to nature, cheated by Men who take care of them and slay them. They are but slaves to and turned away to hunt elsewhere. I knew too well to go hunting around the Men, for as soon as they see you, they would be after you with the fire-sticks.
57.In the passage, ‘I’ is most probably __________
A. one of the moose B. a leading sheep
C. a leading wolf D. the father of a human family
58. Which of the following best describes the mother moose? __________
A. Kind and strong B. Brave and Protective
C. Weak and fearful D. Cruel and powerful
59. Which of the following do ‘I’ hate most? __________
A. Sheep and cattle B. Men
C. Moose D. Caribou
60. What does the underlined word ‘fire-sticks’ refer to? __________
A. Guns B. Burning sticks C. Spears D. Walking sticks

With the development of science and new technology, many things that seem absurd now will come true in the year 2050.
As I can imagine, it is probable that people will travel to the moon for a holiday by spaceship. Scientists will be likely to work and even live under the sea. Besides, in our everyday life, we can do shopping and have a medical examination through TV or the Internet without leaving our homes.
When it comes to education, the schools will be quite different from what they are today. We can learn at home by watching educators on TV or on a computer screen. What’s more, robots will do the housework instead of us.
I believe the dream will be realized in the year 2050 with efforts of the people of all over the world.
