　　I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls' houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved Lon don . I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now.

　　Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen., fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

　　I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Your're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

　　As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I'm afraid.

　　The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

C．a bomb

D．public transport

4．The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he ________ .

C．was from a typical French family

D．didn't like the British idea of family

　　Lori and Reba Schappell have never been alone and they want to keep it that way.

　　The 40-year-old conjoined twins in Pensylvania, US have read about others locked together by an accident of birth who have been medically separated. But they insist only death can part them.“We've never imagined a life divided. ” Lori said.

　　Her first song is called “The Fear of Being Alone” , which was inspired(启示) by Reba and Lon's desire for togetherness.

　　Reba's career has taken her across the United States, Europe and parts of Asia. While the twins receive some money from the government, the earnings from Reba's concerts go to AIDS and cancer charities(慈善机构) .

　　The sisters have set goals for themselves. Reba looks forward to a successful career as a country singer, while Lori said she hopes to get married and have children of her own.

　　Destructive insects in larger numbers are finding Alaska forests to be a comfortable home and climate change could be the wel-come mat.

　　Warmer winters kill fewer insects. Lon-ger, warmer summers let insects complete a life cycle and reproduce in one year instead of two. Warm winters also can damage trees and make them less able to stop insect attacks by changing the nature of snow. Instead of light snow formed at extremely cold tempera-tures, warm winters produce wet, heavy snow more likely to break the tops of spruce trees because they are not well adapted to handling big, heavy, wet snow loads.

　　Since 1980, spruce bark (树皮) beetles have killed mature white spruce trees on 4. 4 million acres. For lack of two cold winters on end, the numbers of the beetles there blew up while the resistance (抵抗力) of the trees was down at the same time everywhere. Most of the mature trees have been killed in some whole region of the state.

　　Spruce bark beetles bore into (蛀穿)trunks and feed on the live cambium layer, a thin part of tissue between bark and wood. Trees re-sist beetles with pitch, made up of hydrocarbons including up to 17 forms of terpene (松稀). The rates of those terpenes are a signal of the health of the tree. When a tree is injured, terpene rates go off in one direction.

　　Using complex chemical receptors (感受器), spruce bark beetles discover differences in terpenes. Injured trees offer less resistance.

　　They smell the tree. If the tree's healthy,they try to avoid it Why? If they start to bore into a healthy tree, it's got a lot of pitch, and the pitch is under high pressure. It's boring in and the pitch is pushing it back out.

(1) What would be the best title for the text?

[　　]

A．The Destruction of Forests in Alaska

B．Warm Winters and Its Bad Effects

C．The Way of Spruce Trees' Living in Alaska

D．Destructive Insects on Rise in Alaska

[　　]

A．By changing the nature of snow.

B．By offering too much water to trees.

C．By making the weather drier.

D．By increasing the insects' growth speed.

(3) The third paragraph mainly tells________.

[　　]

A．winters are warmer and warmer

B．there are more and more beetles

C．the situation of trees is much worse

D．mature trees are easy to be attacked

　　A structure thought to be the world's oldest building has been discovered under the sea off the coast of Japan, and could be evidence of a previously unknown Stone Age civilization．

　　The monument dates back to at least 8,000 BC; the oldest pyramid in Egypt was constructed more than 5,000 years later．

　　The structure was first discovered under 75 feet of water by divers in 2000, and was believed to be a natural phenomenon．

　　Professor Masaki Kimura, the first to study the site, has concluded that the structure is man-made．"The object was not formed naturally．If that had been the case, we would have found pieces through erosion(腐蚀)around the site, but there is nothing there," he says．

　　The discovery of a road surrounding the building is further evidence that the structure was made by humans, along with small underwater stone tombs nearby．

　　Kimura says it is too early to know who built it or its purpose．"It might be an ancient religious shrine(神社), possibly celebrating an ancient god．And it could be evidence of a new culture, since there are no records of a people intelligent enough to have built such a monument 10,000 years ago; it could only have been done by people with a high degree of technology, probably coming from the Asian continent, where the oldest civilizations originated．"

　　Teruaki Ishii, a professor at Tokyo University, said the structure could be natural, but that part of it may have been made by humans．

　　The first signs of civilization in Japan date back to around 9,000 BC, but nothing in the archeological record suggests the presence of a culture advanced enough to have built such a structure．

　　Jim Mower, an archeologist at University College Lon-don, says, "If it's proved that the site is as old as 10,000 years and is man-made, then it's going to change an awful lot of the previous thinking on southeast Asian history．It would put the people who made the monument on equal terms with the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia(An an-cient region of southwest Asia)．"

(1)

Professor Masaki Kimura believes that the monument is man-made because ________． ①no pieces through erosion were found around it ②underwater stone tombs are nearby it ③a road surrounds it ④a shrine was built on it
[　　]
A．	①②④
B．	②③④
C．	①③④
D．	①②③

(2)

Which of the following is NOT true, according to the text?
[　　]
A．	The Japanese mastered advanced construction techniques 10,000 years ago．
B．	Professor Masaki Kimura was the first to study the monument．
C．	The purpose of the monument is still uncertain．
D．	The world抯 oldest civilizations originated in Asia．

(3)

What does the underlined word "that" in the fourth paragraph refer to?
[　　]
A．	The structure being man-made．
B．	The structure being a natural phenomenon．
C．	The structure having first been found ten years ago．
D．	The structure dating back to 8,000 BC．

(4)

What do we learn about the monument from the text?
[　　]
A．	It was made at least 5,000 years earlier than the oldest pyramid of Egypt．
B．	It was built by people from Europe．
C．	It抯 the first evidence of the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia．
D．	It has changed the history of human civilization．

(5)

The author wrote the text to ________．
[　　]
A．	introduce a mysterious structure
B．	tell people how scientists study monuments
C．	advise people to protect the monument
D．	explain how the monument was built
