11.Ugly was the cat in our department,He had only one eye.He-was also missing his ear on the same side and his tail has long ago been lost,leaving only the smallest stub(尾根).
Every time someone  saw Ugly there was  the same reaction."That's  one UGLY cat!"All the children were warned not to touch him.The adults threw rocks at him when he tried to come in their home.Ugly always had the same reaction-he would stand there until you gave up and quit.If you threw things at him,he would curl his lanky(瘦长的) body around feet in forgiveness.But if you ever picked him up,he would immediately begin sucking on your shirt,earring whatever he could find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies (a kind of dog).They did not respond kindly,and Ugly was badly injured.By the time I got to where he was lying,it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.

Ugly died in my arms but I sat and held him thinking about how one ugly little thing could so change my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit,to love so totally and truly.He had been hurt on the outside,but I was hurt on the inside,and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply.
Many people want to be richer,more successful,well liked,beautiful,but for me,I will always try to be Ugly.

18.The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean,off the western coast of South America They are a rocky,lonely spot,but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world.One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises(乌龟)left on earth.
     Weighing hundreds of pounds,these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands.Strangely,each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises.There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands,and each kind is slightly different from the other.
     Hundreds of years ago,thousands of tortoises were around these islands.However,all that changed when people started landing there.When people first arrived in 1535,crews would seize as many tortoises as they could.They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships.The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs,so they could only lie there until used for soups and stews.Almost 100,000 tortoises were carried off in this way.
     The tortoises faced other problems,too.Soon after the first ships,settlers arrived,bringing pigs,goats,donkeys,dogs and cats.A11 0f these animals ruined life for the tortoises.Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on,while the pigs,dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year.Within a few years,it was hard to find any tortoise eggs-or even any baby tortoises.
     Finally,in the 1950s,scientists decided that something must be done.The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats,dogs and other animals as they could from the islands.Next,they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born; This slow,hard work continues today,and,thanks to it,the number of tortoises is now increasing every year.Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all

8.Everyone needs friends.We all like to feel close to someone.It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with.Surely,there are times when we need to be alone.We don't always want people around.But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same.Sometimes friends don't get along well,which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other.Most of the time they will go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away,then we feel very sad.We miss them much,but we can call them and write to them.Maybe we would never see them again,and we can make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend.Many places are named after men and women,if they are friendly to people in a town.Some libraries are named this way.So are some schools.We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people,if they have friends.These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends.Why?It could be that they are happier.Being happy helps you stay well.Or it could be just knowing that someone cares,if someone cares about you,you will take better care of yourself.

15.While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields,Huang Shanye,a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group,stands out as an exception.His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States.He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit(追求) of beauty.
The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques."I apply Chinese calligraphy(书法),paper cutting,facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting,"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery,Maryland in the US,where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work.
One of Huang's works in the show,which had been featured on the exhibition's flier(广告传单),served as a good example.Titled In Harmony,the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition.Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon",both in Chinese and in English.Michele Cohen,director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery,pointing to Huang's In Harmony,says:"I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another,and it really comes out in a mixed form."
In 1998,American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams,which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people.
Inspired by the work,Huff composed a 25-minute symphony(交响乐),Spring Song Festival,made up of Chinese folk melodies.Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected,Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony.The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009,with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background.
64.What is the theme of Huang's many works?A
A.The combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques.
B.The difference between traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques.
C.The advantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques.
D.The disadvantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques.
65.We can inferC.
A.Huff composed a 25-minute symphony,Spring Song Festival after he arrived in China.
B.Huff composed a 25-minute symphony,Spring Song Festival because he graduated in China.
C.Huff composed a 25-minute symphony,Spring Song Festival,because of Huang's work.
D.Huff composed a 25-minute symphony,Spring Song Festival because of money.
66.Which is the best title of the passage?A

12.Agatha Christie used to go out at night.She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago.
That evening,she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2o'clock in the morning.Without company,Agatha walked home along the quiet street.Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building,a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her."Good morning,lady,"the man said in a low voice,"I don't think you wish to die here!""What do you want?"Agatha asked.
"Your earrings (耳环).Take them off!"Agatha suddenly had a bright idea.She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off  both of her earrings,and then she quickly threw them on the ground.
"Take them and let me go."she said.The robber was uncertain.He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all,only trying to protect the necklace.He realized the necklace would cost more,so he said,"Give me your necklace."
"Oh,sir.It's not worth much.Please let me keep it."
"Stop talking rubbish.Quick!"
With shaky hands,Agatha took off her necklace.As soon as the robber disappeared,she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to her home.
The earrings cost 480pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings (先令).

13.Kenya is losing an average of 100of its 2,000lions each year because of growing human  settlements,increasing farming,climate change and diseases,according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
"Lions have a special place in Kenyans'life,"said Paul Udoto,a spokesman for the organization."Other than being the symbol of national strength,they are among the Big Five,a main attraction for visitors to Kenya."
There were 2,749lions in Kenya in 2002and Uieir population dropped to 2,280by 2004  and to about 2,000today,according to KWS figures.
"The fall of the lion population is worrying and every effort needs to be made to make sure that Kenya either protects its population of 2,000lions at present or increases the numbers to an ecologically acceptable level,"said Mr.Udoto.
"There is no doubt that the numbers are in free fall.I'd be surprised if they even  last as  long as 20 years,"said Laurence Frank,project director of Living With Lions,a Kenya-based animal protection organization?i?When I first came here 30years ago,I would always hear lions roaring across the land at night and see their tracks in the morning.Now that is very rare.
"The reason is simple.As the numbers of people grow and the numbers of cows increase  they take up much of the lion's space.Alongside that there are other ways,including poisoning 9to kill lions."
Animal lovers are making a new strategy to save the animals.Part of the measures will include tracking lions fitted with radio collars in the Amboseli area in southern Kenya,close to the border with Tanzania.
Wildlife officials in Tanzania face similar challenges in protecting their lions,but there is far less human encroachment (侵入)on the animals'homeland there than in Kenya,

25.What is the main reason of Kenya appreciating lions'existence?D
A.lions are the symbol of the national strength.
B.Lions are among the most endangered animals.
C.Lions are a subject of great concern to Kenyans.
D.Lions are the major appeal for foreign tourists.
26.What does Laurence Frank mean by saying"they even last as long as 20years"?A
A.It is alarming that the number of lions is declining at a high speed.
B.It is amazing that he has tolerated the decline for such a long time.
C.It is fascinating that many evidences have proven the decline trend,
D.It is surprising that a lion should live as long as twenty years in Kenya.
27.In which aspect does the striking difference between Kenya and Tanzania in lion protection lie?B
A.Climate changes.
B.Increasingly fanning.
C.Natural disasters.
D.Outbreaks of epidemics (流行病).
