I had never seen sand dunes（沙丘）before. If you go to the seaside in Britain, you may see some small hills of sand, but nothing very impressive. Of course, Africa is home to many beautiful “sandscapes”, but I was in China, so I went to Dunhuang.

I had spent my first day looking at the beautiful Mogao caves. Now I wanted to experience something very different.

I have been walking in Asia, Europe and America, but nothing prepared me for walking over hills of sand. Whenever I took a step up a hill, my feet would sink into the sand and move backwards. Sometimes it seemed as if I were moving in the wrong direction.

I wanted to see the sunset so I had to climb to the top of the highest sand dune. The sun was beating down upon my back as I walked slowly over the sand. Some plants had managed to survive in the dry ground but not many.

As I climbed higher, the hills of sand became steeper and my feet started to slip further backwards. I ended up with my hands and knees, crawling (爬行)upwards through the top. I just let go if I would fall the way down. But I refused to give up: inch by inch, I made my way to the top of the sand dune.

When I got there I was amazed by what I saw. The sand formed a very sharp point, just like a knife-edge. One side of the dune was bathed in sunshine, the other covered by shade. As I looked into the distance, the same pattern was repeated on all of the hilltops, and the difference between dark and light was beautiful.

As the sun began to sink, the shadows grew longer and the light became warm and orange. The wind had come to life and sand was blown against my legs as I walked along the dunes. Soon it was getting dark and I could only just make out the line of footprints that marked my journey to the top of the hill. I slowly made my way down to the bottom, my path lit by the dying sun.

65 The author probably went to climb the sand dunes __________ after he arrived at Dunhuang.

A. on the afternoon of the first day B. on the afternoon of the second day

C. on the evening of the second day D. on the evening of the first day

66. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Africa has many beautiful sand dunes.

B. The author could see nothing but his own footprints on his way back.

C. The author had seen some kinds of sand dunes before he visited Dunhuang

D. What attracted the author most was that the sand formed a very sharp point.

67. The author got to the top of the highest hill of sand _____________.

A. on his hands and knees all the way

B. with falls to the bottom many times

C. on his hands and knees in the last leg (一段旅程)

D. with a few rests all the way

68. The author mainly wants to tell readers about_____________.

A. the beautiful sunset B. his experience of climbing the sand hills

C. the joy of traveling in nature D. the difficulty of climbing the sand dunes

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 26 side is much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 27 in good health, or 28 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 29 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 30 the title. Therefore, the scissors would 31 before they start, 32 halfway done when I find out the 33 result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 34 . You can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be 35 up. But you know the future is unpredictable-the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 36 . Thus you are 37 in a difficult position and feel sad. How 38 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 39 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

In fact that is what 40 is like: we are often 41 with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 42 we get into another. The 43 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 44 remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual 45 may not be a had one.

Paris has the Eiffel Tower; New York has the Statue of Liberty; and Brussels, the Manneken

Piss.

Think of the Belgian capital and, if anything, you think of the small peeing (撒尿) boy ____ a 60-meter-high bronze figure standing on a block, supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him.

Some might laugh. But for Jacques Stroobants, the statue is up there with the best of them.

“I’m proud of him. People come from all around the world to see him,” says 60-year-old Stroobants with a fatherly glance at the little boy.

As the most famous landmark of Brussels, Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians.

The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388, but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one after the original was destroyed.

Many stories go round Manneken Piss. Nobody knows why he was made. One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well-aimed piss. But the most believable story is that the boy, the son of a wealthy man, was kidnapped. The father had a statue built in honor of the way his son was found-peeing against a tree.

Perhaps best-known for his naked beauty, the “peeing boy” has also been clothed in some of the finest clothes money can buy.

Stroobants has been changing his clothes for the last 29 years. On average, he has clothes on 300 days a year. And on special days, he pees beer.

A few of the ways he’s been dressed are; a football player, Mozart and an army general. Now, he has more than 600 pieces of clothes.

There is no strict charge for those wishing to provide clothes for the little boy. But certain conditions must be met.

“The clothes cannot include either advertising or political message,” said Stroobants, because they would cheapen the national treasure.

But Manneken Piss is still something local people can make money from ___ by selling all kinds of souvenirs.

72. Which of the following is NOT true about Maneken Piss?

A. It has a history of more than 600 years. B. It stands in Brussels.

C. It is best known for the clothes he wears. D. It is 60 meters high.

73. The Manneken Piss has a special place in the heart of Belgians because .

A. it’s good-looking with water running constantly

B. it brings joys to people who see it

C. it helps people make beer

D. it’s a symbol of the city.

74. We can learn from the passage that .

A. for most of the year, the boy is naked

B. Stroobants is probably in charge of taking care of the statue

C. people can provide any clothes for Manneken Piss

D. people make money by advertising Manneken Piss

75．Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A. Tourists cannot provide clothes for the peeing boy.

B. The Manneken Piss has attracted many visitors.

C. The peeing boy is the national treasure of Belgium.

D. Local people make money by selling souvenirs.
