8．In the summer of 1999，a small town called Golcuk was shaken by a big earthquake in north-western Turkey．It destroyed the whole town and other nearby places．Soon enough，help from other countries flew there for one purpose，"saving lives"．Nowadays wherever an earthquake strikes，other countries are ready to send help．That is really something that，as human beings，we should be proud of．
When the earthquake struck，I was living in my hometown of Ankara，capital of the Turkey．Despite the 220-mile distance between the two locations，we still were able to feel the shakes．
I had a chance to visit Golcuk a couple times when I was a kid．My uncle who lives in Germany has a summer house there，and every summer they stay in Golcuk for their yearly vacation．After the quake struck，we couldn't contact them，so we didn't know if they were in Golcuk or in Germany during the quake．Our unsuccessful attempts worried us，and the only thing we wanted to hear was that they were OK．Without wasting any more time，my brother，my sister's husband，and I decided to drive there to check on them by ourselves．
When we were driving，the damage of the earthquake started to show itself right away．Big，wide，tall trees were laid down on the side of the road．Getting closer to Golcuk，we found the impact of the earthquake was getting worse．Inside the town was total destruction．
It wasn't easy to figure out the streets among the ruins．Finally，we were able to find my uncle's apartment and thank God，it was still standing，but nobody was there．Later on we found that they hadn't yet visited Golcuk that year．What luck!
Earthquakes are natural disasters and there is no way to avoid them，especially as earthquakes never give a warning in advance．They just strike mercilessly in the middle of the night when people are asleep in their beds．We cannot stop disasters but we can prepare ourselves for their consequences．
56．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Memory of an Earthquake in Golcuk
B．My Uncle's Yearly Vacation in Golck
C．An Unforgettable Experience
D．Our Unsuccessful Attempts
57．Mentioning"Our unsuccessful attempts"in the third paragraph，the author may NOT refer toD．
A．calling his uncle directly
B．ringing his uncle's family members
C．contacting his uncle's neighbors
D．going to Germany
58．On their way to search for their uncle，they foundC．
A．their uncle spent their yearly vacation in Golcuk every year
B．it was not difficult to find their uncle's house
C．the damage of the earthquake was worse than expected
D．their uncle hadn't visited Golcuk that year
59．From this passage，we can learn thatA．
A．help from other countries will come to the quake-hit country
B．people know how to get rid of earthquakes
C．they went to Golcuk immediately the quake happened
D．the author has never seen his uncle before．

16．School meals are junk and don't provide the nutrition a body needs to grow，says Jamie Oliver，and he decides to do something about it．Schoolchildren in France who eat school dinners are likely to have a well-balanced，four-course meal with fresh ingredients （成分） costing up to￡1.10 to make．ButBritish schoolchildren are fed mainly cheap-processed meat，frozen pizzas and potato smiley faces，costing on average just 37 pence per meal．
In fact the money spent on school dinners is so small that schools can afford only what some people describe as junk food rather than fresh natural ingredients．This means that their meals don't provide the nutrients and goodness children's bodies need to develop properly．No wonder there's growing concern about the health of the nation's schoolchildren．
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so concerned about school dinners that he decided to try to improve them by teaming up with the kitchen staff at Kidbrooke School in Grenwich．He took a lot of time to learn how to get the kids to stop eating the junk and move to healthy food．This is not easy!But it is possible with some hard work and determination!After a lot of hard work from both Jamie and the school's cooks，Kidbrooke is now serving some of the best school food in Britain．The menu includes fresh butcher's sausages with creamy mash and onion gravy，chilli corn with basmati rice and fresh fruit salad．Incredibly，Jamie and the staff managed to create this healthier menu with the same 37 pence budget．But the school chefs admit cooking healthy food isn't as easy as simply putting burgers and chips in the oven．
Then came the good news!The government has promised to spend￡280 million to improve school dinners across the country．Well done Jamie!This means that die national average cost will rise from 37p to 50p in primary schools and from 37p to 60p in secondary schools．

3．Writing articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job．Before then I had done bits of reviewing-novels for other newspapers，films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio．That was how I met Tom Seaton，the first arts editor of The Front Page，who had also written for television．He hired me，but Tom was not primarily a journalist，or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff．
At first，his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn't require specialized knowledge：books，TV，theatre，film and radio．There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover，though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable．
It all felt like a bit of dream at that time：a new newspaper and I was one of the team．It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market．It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally，and was pretending to employ me．Such was my lack of self-confidence．
Tom's original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off．It was a good idea，but we didn't get together as planned and so everything was done by phone．It turned out，too，that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area，and so I chose film．Without Tom's initial push，though，we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement，by which I write an extended weekly piece，usually on one film．
The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument-or forces me，in an uninteresting week，to make something out of nothing．But what is my role in the public arena？I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars，the publicity or the director．So if a film review isn't really a consumer guide，what is it？I certainly don't feel I have a responsibility to be‘right'about a movie．Nor do I think there should be a certain number of‘great'and‘bad'films each year．All I have to do is put forward an argument．I'm not a judge，and nor would I want to be．

63．What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph？C
A．He encouraged the writer to become a writer．
B．He met the writer when working for television．
C．He had worked in various areas of the media．

13．I was in a strange city I didn't know at all，and what's more，I could not speak a word of the language．On my second day I got on the first bus that passed，rode on it for several stops，then got off and walked on．The first two hours passed pleasantly enough，then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch．After walking about for some time，I decided I had better ask the way．The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived，and even that I pronounced badly．I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller．He handed me a paper．I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands．I had to give him some money and went on my way．The next person．I asked was a policeman．He listened to me carefully，nodded and gently took me by the arm．There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again．I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed．?

20．Special trees that grow faster，fight pollution，produce better wood，and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US．
When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US 14 million-a-year papaya （木瓜）industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago，work began on creating genetically engineered （转基因的） trees．
Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus．Since then，more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees．
Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood．Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil．
Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms，and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper．
The Pentagon （五角大楼） even gave the researchers US 500，000this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack．
So far，the poplar，eucalyptus （杨树与桉树），apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered．All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes （基因组）．
However，some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results．They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment
"It could be destructive，"said Jim Diamond，an environmentalist．"Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species．"
But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding，so their effect on the environment can be controlled．
57．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US？C
A．Trees that worms can't hurt．
B．Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack．
C．Trees that can resist wind better．
D．Genetically engineered trees．
58．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees？B
A．They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
B．Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses．
C．Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus．
D．Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees．
59．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered？A
A．Papaya．B．Pine．C．Apple．D．Poplar．
60．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous？BecauseD．
A．these trees can destroy the balance of nature
