4.Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay,Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere.But polar bears like it that way.They spend summers on the tundra (苔原) around Churchill.In the fall,they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form.Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals--their favorite food.October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times.From tundra vehicles,visitors to Churchill observe the bears.Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities.Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears'migration route to view the vigorous creatures.These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements.
Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year,there is growing concern about the animals'future.Because the earth is getting warmer,the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring.As a result,polar bears have less time to hunt for seals.Polar bears can also find smaller animals,bird eggs and berries on land,but this kind of food is not sufficient to support the animals.
Polar bears are also affected by plastic and chemicals that get into the ocean.A research project carried out in northern Europe has found high concentrations of both plastic and chemicals in the tissue of polar bears.These materials and substances can damage the animals'internal organs,especially when the animals are not yet mature.Many people are researching polar bear health.Their goal is to gather the information that is needed to help save these animals.

66.What does this article imply about Churchill?A
A.It's located in a very remote area.
B.It's attracting fewer tourists now.
C.It's surrounded by smaller towns.
D.It's dependent on the oil industry.
67.What does this article explain about polar bears?B
A.The ways in which they threaten people
B.The most important elements of their diets
C.The mating behavior that they exhibit
D.The time of year when they give birth
68.How is the polar bears'seal winter hunting season changing?D
A.It's starting earlier.
B.It's becoming colder.
C.It's finishing later.
D.It's getting shorter.
69.What can we learn about polar bears from this article?C
A.How they avoid traffic accidents
B.How they learn good habits from one another
C.How they're endangered by pollution
D.How they find a hiding place during bad weather.

68.D 细节理解题.问北极熊捕猎季节的变化,根据第二段的"Because the earth is getting warmer,the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring"可知,冰形成的时间越来越晚,春天来的越来越早,所以北极熊的捕猎时间缩短了,故选D.
69.C 推理判断题.选项A它们如何避免交通事故,选项B它们怎样从彼此身上学习好习惯,选项D在恶劣天气的时候它们怎么找藏身之处,在文中都没有涉及.根据第三段可知,它们深受污染之苦,因为污染,它们处于濒临灭绝的境地,故选C.

9.Today,paper-making is a big business.But it is still possible to make paper by hand,since the steps are the same as using big machines.
You should use paper with small amounts of printing.Old envelopes are good for this reason.Colored paper also can be used,as well as small amounts of newspaper.Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added.These should be cut into pieces about five centimeters by five centimeters.
Everything is placed in a container,covered with water and brought to a boil.It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool.Then it is left until most of the water dries up.The substance left,called pulp(纸浆),can be stored until you are ready to make paper.
When you are ready,the pulp is mixed with water again.Then the pulp is poured into a mold.The mold is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper.To help dry the paper,the mold lets the water flow through the small wire squares.
After several more drying steps,the paper is carefully lifted back from the mold.It is now strong enough to be touched.
The paper is smoothed and pressed to remove trapped air.You can use a common electric iron used for pressing clothes.

16.Most American students go to traditional public schools.There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US.Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing.Private companies operate some charter schools.They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools.They receive tax money just as other public schools do.Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning.These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools.Local state,or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them.Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students.But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools.One teachers'union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study,which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress.Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools.Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.

51.If a private company wants to operate a charter school,it mustC.
A.try new methods of teaching
B.prove its management ability
C.get the government's permission
D.obey the local and state laws
52.Charter schools are independent becauseB.
A.they make greater progress
B.they enjoy more freedom
C.their class size is smaller
D.they oppose traditional ways
53.What's the government's attitude toward charter schools?D
A.Doubtful.
B.Optimistic.  
C.Subjective.  
D.Supportive.
54.What can we learn from the text?A
A.People have different opinions about charter schools.
B.Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C.Students in charter schools are well educated.
D.More students choose to attend charter schools.
55.It can be interred from the text thatD.

B.one-on-one attention should be paid to students
C.the number of charter schools will be limited

13.Garlic
Garlic,a common seasoning found in many different types of food,has a long medical and mythical history.References to garlic (25)are found(find) in Chinese texts that are dated as far back as 3000BC.The physician Hippocrates used garlic in ancient Greece (26)to treat(treat) infections and physical disorders.In many parts of ancient world,garlic was thought to avoid unfriendly spirits,treat wounds (27)as well as protect against disease.
Roman soldiers believed that garlic brought them courage and energy.They took it with them when they went into battle.Egyptians fed garlic to their servants when they built pyramids.They thought that it gave the workers strength.They also believed that garlic had magical and medicinal powers in the Middle Ages,people thought that garlic prevented the plague(瘟疫).
People have praised the virtues of garlic for centuries.Garlic's popularity began to decline in the early years of the twentieth century,but its reputation (28)has been restored(restore) in recent years.It is now a valuable cash crop in the state of California.Nearly a half-billion pounds of garlic are produced there each year.The city of Gilroy,California,considers (29)itself the garlic capital of the world.Each year,the city hosts the Gilroy Garlic Festival in honor of the crop.
Some doctors are studying garlic's effects as a defense (30)against some forms of cancer.Others are exploring its possibilities for treating arthritis.Garlic has also received praise for its ability to lower high levels of cholesterol(胆固醇).
(31)Although/Though some of the medicinal benefits of garlic have yet to be proven,it is certain(32)that many people enjoy the flavour that it adds to food.
