【语篇解读】 本文是一则寓言,通过一群老鼠开会想办法除掉猫的故事说明:想出好办法也许不难,但要实现就不那么容易了。

36.C 任何一只老鼠都害怕被猫“抓住(caught)”而不敢出去。

37.D 下文meeting room是提示:老鼠们决定要开一个“会(meeting)”来商讨对策。

38.B 根据上文的for fear of以及下文的whose mother had become the cat’s food等可知老鼠们“处境危险(in danger)”。

39.A 从本空前内容可知:猫碰巧不在,所以全体老鼠就利用这点时间“赶紧(rushed)”聚到了一起。

40.C Let’s build a big trap是这只老鼠“建议(suggested)”的。

41.D 下文又有新的提议,可知第一个老鼠的建议被大家“拒绝(refused)”了。

42.B But这一转折词承接上文的建议——但是“没人(nobody)”知道去哪里买毒药。

43.A 由本空前“母亲死于猫爪之下”推断:一只小老鼠“咬牙切齿地(angrily)”说。

44.C 这里指会议没有接受它的“提议(idea)”。

45.D 从下文它所提的建议以及受到的祝贺可知:它比其它老鼠要“聪明(wiser)”一些。下文的the wise mouse也是提示。

46.B 从本空后的be quiet判断:它摇动着一只铃铛要大家“静一静(silence)”。

47.A 只要把铃铛拴在猫的尾巴上,就可以随时知道它在“哪里(where)”。

48.C 有了这个铃铛做警报,老鼠们就有了逃离的“时间(time)”。

49.D 年老体弱的伙伴们也能来得及“躲藏(hide)”。

50.B 根据本空后congratulated判断:听到它这个好办法后,大家伙“兴高采烈(excited)”。

51.A 我们最好把铃铛拴牢一些,这样它永远都不会“掉下来(drop off)。”

52.C 尾巴上有了铃铛,它再也别想“蹑手蹑脚地(quietly)”走路了。

53.D 但是我们还得“决定(decide)”究竟派谁去拴这个铃铛。

C
A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring(后代) are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory(监管的) barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.
The 968-page final report, not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risks.
But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw(原始的) data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.
The report also admits that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.
“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based evaluation.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those subjects.
In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill for meat or milk. Instead, the expensive animals—replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born—will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.
When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.
64.   What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.    FDA has waited for a long time to get this final report.
B.    Products from cloned animals have been put into the market before.
C.    People are having the products from cloned animals safely.
D.    There have been once opposite opinions against cloned products.
65.   What does the underlined word “wary” mean?
A. Disappointed.           B. Careful.         C. Fond.                                 D. Proud.
66.   It will be a few years before foods from clones come into the market, partly because _____.
A.    people have little knowledge of the cloned animals
B.    supporters can’t give powerful evidence to support that
C.    the few cloned animals will first be used to create superior animals
D.    they are a new generation for the customers and are too valuable for the customers
67.   What can we conclude from the passage?
A.    FDA officials encourage people to eat more food from clones.
B.    FDA officials think the food from clones will sell better than ordinary food.
C.    People only worry about the health problems when it comes to foods from the clones.
D.    All the foods will not have detailed labels on them.

      Every year, earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and vast amounts of destruction(破坏) in various parts of the world. There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not
all of them are destructive. The intensity (强度) of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from zero upward. The highest magnitude recorded to date is 8.9Major damage generally occurs
from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.
     The actual cause of earthquake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the breaking of rocks or
below the earth's surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number
of reasons, two of which are the changed of the earth's crust (外壳) and continental drift(漂流).
      In order to minimize the damage and to decrease some of the pain resulting from earthquakes,
scientists are working on ways to improve accurate prediction. Two kinds of the instruments now in use
to achieve this goal are seismograph(地震仪) and tilt (倾斜) meter. The former records any shaking of
the earth. Seismologists ca accurately record the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter, as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The highest magnitude of earthquake recorded is 8.9
B. Major damage usually happens when the intensity of an earthquake is below 6.0
C. Scientists usually use seismographs and tilt meters to predict earthquakes now.
D. Continental drift may cause an earthquake.
2. What's the main idea of the passage?
A.  Earthquakes can cause a lot of damage.
A.Scientists are working hard to predict the earthquakes.
B.The reason why earthquakes happen.
C.Introduce the earthquake and its prediction.  
3. Where does the passage mot likely come from? 
A. A newspaper.  
B. A report    
C. A science magazine.    
D. A history book.  

   Now we are always hearing about road accidents and when we are in a car we try to drive carefully, })ut how many of tls take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I've thought a lot alx)ut how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them.

   One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug (插头) without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater (电炉) into the bathroom when be is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before repairing a lamp or something else. All this will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before your touch anything and don' t pretend you know when you actually don't.

   If you've got children in the house, it' s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.

    Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave  stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don' t forget to keep  the children away from fire. Smoking, tm, may cause fire. So you'd better give it up.

   Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
