Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man . It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
59．The author mentions coconuts’ falling to .
A．show his loneliness B．add beauty to the jungle
C．express his love of nature D．stress the absolute silence
60．How does the author feel about the ant?
A．He admired its attitude toward work.
B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.
D．He was content to have it as a companion.
61．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably .
A．work harder than before B．talk to the man on the horse
C．make his way home D．stay in the valley
62．We can learn from the passage that the author .
A．enjoyed being alone B．had an unforgettable adventure
C．missed his busy life in the city D．experienced a world of quietness
C
Anyone who ever wondered why a dying plant, say, a freshly-cut red rose may appeal to a lady friend, might take some comfort in science, which once again offers us a reasonable answer to one of the world’ s great mysteries.
Beyond a common preference in people for blue, “the long history of color preference studies has been described as ‘confusing and contradictory,” write scientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England’ s Newcastle University, authors of a new study in the journal Current Biology. “This fact is perhaps surprising,” they said, “though the popularity of the concept that little girls differ from boys in preferring pink.”
But the scientists believe they have an answer to this scientific mystery, discovering women’s preference for red, hidden above the average liking for blue.
In their study, the
pair quickly flashed color cards, displaying many different aspects, at
208 volunteers, mostly Britishers but with a number of Han Chinese, who moved
to the
Puzzled, the authors realized that most of the difference between men and women came in the form of a preference for green VS red in the color cards, regardless of the other slight differences such as the slightly blue ones that everyone liked. Why might this be?
Evolution might offer an answer, they reason. Human color perception(感知), the assessment of three separate color types ― red ― green ― blue― in our vision (视觉) is a relatively recent addition to our line of mammals(脯乳动物).
Adding weight to their argument, they found the women who are most typically feminine(女性的) on a psychological survey also had the biggest preference for reddish colors. “My love is like a red, red rose,” wrote the Scottish poet Rober Burns in 1794.
63. The scientists discovered the colour mystery that exists between men and women by _____.
A. giving examples B. doing experiments
C. stating causes and effects D. interviewing volunteers
64. The word “pair” in Para.4 refers to _____.
A. man and woman B. science and evolution
C. Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling D. red and green
65. According to the study the scientists have carried out in the passage, _____.
A. men like blue most
B. women have preference for red besides blue
C. generally speaking boys prefer slight pink to blue
D. girls also love slight green
66. What does the first paragraph probably tell us ?
A. Science can make people feel more comfortable.
B. When we are bored, we can turn to science for help.
C. Science can make our study confusing and contradictory.
D. Scientific research contributes to people’s discovering the mystery.
D
Dancing the night away
It is a measure of how little control I have over my own life that in middle March I am escorting(护送) a pretty young redhead to a debutante ball. (A formal presentation of young ladies when they reach the age of maturity. This was originally used in the past to introduce young ladies to society so that they could meet a possible marriage partner , so it was for the upper class, the nobility (贵族)and titled families. At a debutante ball, the expensively-dressed girls stand in a line to be introduced individually. Their fathers then walk them, arm-in-arm around the dance floor, followed by a waltz.)
"Daddy, you OK?" she asks.
"Never better," I lie.
"Good," she says, hugging my shoulder and giggling (咯咯笑).
Generally, deb balls belong to the upper class, and that is decidedly not us. The other day, I was trying to figure out which to buy ― a garage door opener, or a DVD player. Both were broken, yet we could afford to replace only one. That's how "upper class" we are. We're more like "fixer upper class."
So it's a mystery how we ended up at this deb ball. Two mothers are checking for alcohol, making sure the debs aren't drinking.
Anyway, they won't let the dads eat dinner till we "present" the girls, which means we have to escort our daughters around the dance floor one by one, as the mistress (女主人) of ceremonies reads out the young lady's accomplishments.
"Trish plans to attend Stanford in the fall, where she will study molecular (分子) engineering in hopes of one day developing a way to help predict earthquakes."
On and on these introductions go. One girl hopes to grow food on Mars.
After the introductions we finally get to the Big Waltz. For the last month, the dads and daughters have all been taking lessons for the Big Waltz, under the direction of the widow (遗孀) of Otto von Bismarck. Fortunately, she is a people person.
"Forward, BACK!" she screamed, while teaching us to waltz.
Her gentle directions have worked miracles. Suddenly, on this big night, we are a well-organized team of 27 father-daughter dance pairs.
Honestly, waltzing is like math, in the sense that some people never get it.
The relative success of this Big Waltz comes as a huge relief to the mothers, who have been planning this ceremony for six years and have been a little tense lately.
In the end, everything turned out OK at the deb ball. The 27 dads developed into a fairly supportive fellowship. And the little red-haired girl? She hugged my shoulder and giggled happily, making it all ― the waltz lessons, the rental tuxedo (男士正式晚礼服), the 14 years of coaching softball ― worth every awful-wonderful moment.
67. We know from the passage that at the
debutant ball ________.
A. the mothers felt relieved after the ceremony began
B. well-dressed girls were introduced to their future husbands
C. the writer’s daughter, a red-haired girl, was the focus of attention
D. 27 father-daughter dance pairs presented a successful waltz show
68. By saying "it’s a mystery how we ended up at this deb ball" the writer suggests that _______.
A. as a member from the upper class he can attend the ball
B. it’s the first time for him to attend such a grand ceremony
C. the deb ball is usually held for rich families but his is not
D. many families want to attend the ball so it wasn’t easy for him to get in
69. According to the writer, waltzing is like math because ________.
A. both are not easy to learn
B. they are something you need a gift to learn well
C. the writer can not learn either waltzing or math well
D. girls from the upper class should learn either of them
70. The writer feels all his efforts were worthwhile because his daughter________.
A. really enjoyed the experience
B. was introduced into the upper class
C. showed her accomplishments at the ball
D. had a chance to meet a good marriage partner

请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处里填人最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格填1个单词。
The world hasn't
seen a pandemic in 41 years, when the "
The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics. Although it jumped the "animal-to-human" barrier, neither disease changed enough to enable human-to-human infection. Strictly speaking, SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts. For a pandemic, it needs to be able to maintain human-to-human contact without killing its host off.
" H1N1 flu is already a man-to-man disease, which makes it much more difficult to manage. And H1N1 flu appears much more infectious than SARS."
But the WHO warns, it cannot say whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic. According to experts, here's what the world might see if there is another pandemic, based on past experience:
The disease would skip from city to city over an 18-to-24 month period, infecting more than a third of the population. World health Organization officials believe as many as 1.5 billion people around the globe would seek medical care and nearly 30 million would seek hospitalization. Based on the last pandemic and current world population, as many as 7 million people could die. Hospitals will become overcrowded, schools will close, businesses will close, airports will be empty. Business will become very bad, as people avoid as much social contact as possible.
Health facilities will become overrun with patients and there would be less-than-adequate staffing, as medical health professionals fall ill themselves and that would result in higher deaths.
The very young and very old will likely be the most susceptible(易受感染的) to the illness. Experts warn, much is still unknown about the current H1N1 flu virus and its severity and it is too early to say whether it will lead to a pandemic. Right now, the focus is on finding answers and controlling the spread.
Title: It’s Not a Pandemic yet!
Three diseases mentioned
● “Hong Kang” flu
● 72
● H1N1 flu
Some 71 about SARS and H1N1 flu
● SARS didn’t change 73 to enable sustained
human-to-human infection.
● SARS was very good at killing its 74
● A man with H1N1 flu can infect 75 man.
● Comparing SARS and H1N1 flu, SARS is not 76
infectious.
Possible consequence of H1N1 flu
● The disease would 77 very fast.
● Around 1.5 billion people in the world will need 78 care.
Experts’ 79
Much is still unknown about 80 H1N1 is leading to pandemic or not.

One possible version:
Is cyber language dangerous ？
With the development of information technology, cyber language has stepped into our life and is spreading rapidly. According to a survey recently conducted among high school students, there are various views about the use of cyber language.
The supporters think cyber language is a product of the information age, which can be regarded as a new form of grass-roots culture. They also think cyber language words are easy to learn or understand, so they are convenient to use. Besides, cyber language can not only enrich their school life but also ease the pressure of studying because many words used online are fun and cool.
However, many students reject the use of cyber language. Firstly, cyber language words are rude and vulgar. Secondly, the Chinese language is the foundation of our great culture. Overusing cyber language will cause young people to gradually forget our traditional culture.
In my opinion , it is dangerous to use too much cyber language, for it may well do great harm to our mother tongue. As the foundation of the traditional culture, the Chinese language is the standard language. We teenagers should learn it well and at the same time go all out to hand down our fine traditional culture.
