解答 Dear Franklin，
    I am deeply impressed by your love for learning Chinese culture．As the old saying goes，nothing can be accomplished without rules and regulations．From my personal perspective，I firmly believe that rules play an indispensable role in our life．（提出要讨论的话题，表达个人观点）            
     There is no doubt that rules regulate the norm of behavior in our society．Without rules，we would find ourselves stuck in traffic all the way to school or work，as cars would go at their owners'will．Without rules，there are chances that one would grow cabbages in public parks or litter wherever they go．【高分句型一】Without rules，one would feel free to open the safety door even high above in the sky，leaving others'lives at high risk．（分析说明"不以规矩，不成方圆"这一说法）           
     To sum up，it is rules and regulations that lay the foundation for a civilized society and protect us from potential risks．【高分句型二】Only when rules and regulations are well observed by all the citizens will we live an orderly life and thus enjoy the benefits of a fully civilized society．（总结"不以规矩，不成方圆"这一说法的重要性）                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yours，
                                                                                                   Li Hua

20．To the west and off the European Continent，there are several thousands of islands on the continental shelf（大陆架）．They are generally called the British Isles．Of all these Isles，the largest one is called Great Britain．For the convenience's sake，it is often shortened to Britain．Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland．The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland （U．K．） is made up of Great Britain，Northern Ireland，and a number of smaller islands around them．The total area of the country is some 240，000square kilometers with a population of about 57million．
Great Britain runs nearly 1，000kilometers from south to north and extends，at the widest part，about 500kilometers from west to east．Its area is some 230，000square kilometers．Great Britain is traditionally divided into three parts，or countries：England in the south，Scotland in the north，and Wales in the southwest．There are discernible（可辨别的） differences between them even now．
England is the largest and most developed of all the three．Its area，about 130，000square kilometers，takes up nearly 60% of the whole island．Its population is more than 46million which makes up 85% of the country's whole population．The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say"England"when they mean Britain．The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English who are the majority in the United Kingdom．
Scotland is the second largest both in area and population．It has an area of about 78，760square kilometers，less than 30% of the whole island，with a population of 5million，less than one-tenth of the whole population．
Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population．In area，20，700square kilometers，makes up less than 9% while its population，2.7million，does not exceed（超过） 5% of the whole．

7．Scientists have discovered a special biological behavior in dolphins（海豚） that could lead to a treatment for late-onset diabetes（晚发的糖尿病） in humans．Studies on dolphins found that healthy dolphins switch into a diabetic-like state overnight when they are not feeding，but return to normal when they eat the following morning．
The extraordinary finding has led scientists to suggest that dolphins have"genetic switch"that allows them to imitate diabetes while they arenot feeding for a night，without suffering any ill effect．
If researchers can identify a similar genetic pathway in human，they may be able to develop drugs to effectively switch off diabetes．Some 2.2million people in Britain have type 2（or late-onset） diabetes，a figure that is expected to reach 4million by 2025as a consequence of rising levels of obesity（肥胖）．
The tissuesof people with type 2diabetes have become resistant to insulin（胰岛素）so they lose the ability to control sugar levels in their blood．The condition can damage the heart，eyes，kidneys（肾脏） and nerves and contribute to 5% of all deaths，according to the World Healthy Organisation．
Dolphins appear to imitate diabetes to keep high levels of blood sugar when food is rare．Like humans，dolphins need some sugar in their blood for their brains to function normally．Venn-Watson's team analysed 1，000blood samples（样本） from 52dolphins while theydidn't eat anything overnight and fed in the morning．At night time，the dolphins'metabolism（新陈代谢）changed greatly and showed similar characteristics to that seen in people with type 2diabetes．
"It is our hope that this discovery can lead to new ways to prevent，treat and maybe even cure diabetes in humans，"said Stephanie Venn-Watson，director of clinical research at the National Marine Foundation in San Diego．
72．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Humans get some ideaoftreatingdiabetes from dolphins．
B．Dolphins can switch into a diabetic-like state overnight．
C．Humans can suffer the same disease as dolphins．
D．Dolphins should be fed regularly to avoid diabetes．
73．The key to applying the finding to curing human diabetes lies inC．
A．producing insulin in a larger amount
B．developing drugs from healthy dolphins
C．identifying a similar genetic pathway in human
D．analysingmore blood samples from hungrydolphins
74．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Scientists have found a similar genetic switch in humans．
B．More British people will suffer type 2diabetes due to obesity．
C.2.2million people with type 2diabetes die in Britain every year．
D．Dolphins imitate diabetes to avoid a high blood sugar level．
75．What will happen to dolphins if not fed for a night according to Venn-Watson？D
A．Their metabolism breaks down．
B．They become resistant to insulin．
C．Their heart and kidneys are damaged．
D．They keep high levels of blood sugar．

1．The African elephant，the largest land animal remaining on earth，is of great importance to African ecosystem（生态系统）．Unlike other animals，the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment．As a big plant-eater，it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna（大草原）surroundings in which it lives，therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat（栖息地）．
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat．In its continuous search for the 300pounds of plants it must have every day，it kills small trees and underbushes，and pulls branches off big trees．This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas．In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters．
Take the rain forests for example．In their natural state，the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor．By pulling down trees and eating plants，elephants make open spaces，allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor．In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well．
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species．If the elephant disappears，scientists say，many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna，greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem．
59．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．Disappearance of African elephants．
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants．
C．The effect of African elephants'search for food．
D．The eating habit of African elephants．
60．What does the underlined phrase"setting the terms"most probably mean？D
A．Fixing the time．
B．Worsening the state．
C．Improving the quality．
D．Deciding the conditions．
61．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage？D
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests．
B．They provide food mainly for African elephants．
C．They are home to many endangered animals．
D．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds．
62．The passage is developed mainly byA．
A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．giving examples．
2．Luciano Baietti，a retired school，headmaster from Italy，holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees．The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy，and is getting ready to get his 16th．
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of，but 15 is apparently quite impressive，since it's only been done by one man．Although he spends his days working around his house and garden，like most people his age，at night，Baretti turns into n student again．Every morning，at 3 a．m．，when most of the world is sleeping，he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp．He claims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him．
"Thanks to books，I feel free．After all，the words share the share root，"he says，referring to the Italian words libro （book） and libero （free）．"Me claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin，whose portrait is also on display in his study，alongside his many framed university degrees，and whom he describes as"a man of culture and knowledge．
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002，after his eighth degree．Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection．
"Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go．"At 70-years-old，Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree，this time in food science．
Probably the most important thing about Baietti's achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school，and volunteering with Italy's Red Cross．The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst （渴求） for knowledge didn't affect his professional activity and his family life．He spent 3 hours studying every day，and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis （论文）．
 
32．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Louis-Francois Berlin is on good terms with Baietti．
B．Baietti is the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice．
C．Nobody but Baietti has ever got more than one college degree．
D．Challenging himself opens up a broader world to Baietti．
33．Baietti can be best described asC．
A．honest and considerate
B．optimistic and generous
C．determined and hardworking
D．reliable and imaginative
34．The key to Baietti's success isC．
A．the support from his family
B．his eagerness for fame
C．his nonstop daily learning
D．his unusual brain and energy
35．What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti？B
A．Well begun is half done．
B．Never too late to learn．
C．Take things as they come．
D．Strike the iron while it is hot．
