Beijing Opera，acrobatics（杂技），Chinese folk music，and tea ceremonies（仪式）all make up parts of a great Chinese party．But this party was not in Beijing．It was in Moscow．
Russian people enjoyed a big Chinese party at the Kremlin（克里姆林宫）last Monday．With Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin in attendance，the party marked the opening of the Year of China in Russia．
It's more than just a cultural festival．During Hu's three-day visit in Russia，the two countries agreed to start a joint（共同的）unmanned mission（任务））to Mars（火星）in two years and voiced their desire to push forward cooperation（合作）in many areas．“In 2006 the Year of Russia in China achieved full SUCCESS，and I believe that the Year of China in Russia will also be Successful，” Hu said．
But，in history the Sino-Russian relationship has not always been so relaxed．The former Soviet Union（前苏联），in which Russia was the biggest part，was among the flew countries that recognized the new China in 1949．It also helped China to develop its heavy industry during the 1950s and early 1960s．
But in the late 1960s．the relationship became difficult．Soviet leaders wanted China to do whatever it said，but China refused．The relationship worsened in 1969，when a border conflict over an island in Heilongjiang Province almost caused a war．
The tension（紧张关系）continued until the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991．Then both the two countries' new leaders opened a new door to get the relationship back to normal．Since the two countries set up the strategic（战略的）partnership of cooperation 11 years ago，cooperation in different areas has been developing smoothly．
China has become the fourth biggest trade partner of Russia，and Russia is China's ninth biggest．The year 2005 has seen an effort to decide the location of the China-Russia border．It ended a decades-long dispute about the border and opened a new page for long-term friendly relations．“The increasing exchanges between China and Russia have brought more job opportunities to Chinese-speaking Russians I hope the friendship can last from generation to generation so that it will bring more benefits to both peoples，”said Irina Ivanovo，a tour guide who studied Chinese at university for five years．
56．What is the story mainly about?
A．The Sino-Russian relationship．
B．The big Chinese party held at the Kremlin．
C．President Hu Jlintao's three-day visit in Russia．
D．The increasing exchanges between China and Russia．
57．Which of the following is not mentioned to show the cooperation between the two countries?
A．Cultural exchange． B．Business and trade．
C．Space and border D．Student exchange programs．
58 Which of the following best describes the Sino-Russia relationship over all these years?
A．Lasting friendship． B．Ups and downs
C．On the down turn． D．Strategic partners．
B
People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places．This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air．Air pollution is caused by many different things．A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars．Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities．Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy．This energy is needed to make electricity．Of course，much more electricity is used in the city than in the country．
On the average，we throw away more trash and garbage than the previous year．The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution．Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities．The fumes from iron，steel，chemical，and petroleum production add particles to the air．
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death．The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision．Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel，fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode．In some of the larger cities，these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death．

What do literary greats Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Burns have in common? They both lived and wrote
in
Edinburgh left a lasting
impression on Arthur Conan Doyle（1859-1930）．Although
he was born there he went to school in
Robert Burns（1759-1796）is still regarded as Scotland's national poet，more than 200 years after his death．He is celebrated all over the world through translations of his work and the annual Burns Night supper on his birthday．One of his songs，“My Love is Like a Red Red Rose” ranks among the finest love songs ever written and “Auld Lang Syne” (友谊地久天长) is sung all around the world．
As one of the first literate societies in Europe，the Scottish Parliament passed the world's first compulsory (义务) education law in 1496．By the 1790s，almost all Scots could read．Visitors to Scotland often observed that even the lowest members of society had copies of Burns' poems and other books．

A strong wind can be a dangerous thing-sometimes it is powerful enough to knock you off your feet．But to plants，the wind is a source of new life，carrying them or their spores（孢子）thousands of miles．
A NASA satellite called QuikSCAT has discovered highways of wind over the Earth's oceans．Scientists believe these invisible roads may explain why many nonflowering plants，such as mosses（苔藓）and lichens（地衣），grow where they do．
The satellite is able to send microwaves（微波）from space to the surface of the ocean．The pattern of signals that come back shows which way the winds are blowing．
Using this data, the scientists studied a group of islands in the southern hemisphere（半球），near Antarctica．Winds tend to blow anticlockwise（逆时针）in this region，but there are lots of local differences．
When the researchers compared these local patterns to botanical（植物学）data，they found that the wind had an important effect on where species of mosses，lichens，and other nonflowering plants grow．
For example，Bouvet Island and Heard Island，share 30 percent of their moss species，29 percent of liverworts（叶苔），and 32 percent of lichens-even though they are 4,430 kilometers apart．In contrast，Gough Island and Bouvet Island，separated by just 1,860 kilometers of sea，share only 16 percent of mosses and 17 percent of liverworts．They have no lichens in common．
Ferns（蕨类植物）and flowering plants don't travel as well in the wind，so they don't show the same kinds of distribution（分布）patterns．
67．This story is about ．
A．the discovery of wind highways B．how wind travels
C．how wind affects different plants D．one of the wind
68．The underlined word “data” in the fourth paragraph means ．
A．signal B．pattern C．information D．research
69．Which of the following is WRONG?
A．Bouvet Island，Heard Island and Gough Island are all in the southern hemisphere．
B．Winds in the researched areas blow anticlockwise．
C．The scientists needn't base this research on how winds affect where ferns grow．
D．Without the QuikSCAT，the research wouldn't have made sense．
70．Which of the following diagrams shows the correct position of the islands?
E
Having finished her homework，Ma Li wants some music for relaxation（娱乐）．As usual，she starts her computer and goes to Baidu．corn to download music files．But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs' copyright bursts onto the screen．The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright．Lawsuits（诉讼）have been filed against four websites offering free downloads．In September 2005，a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses．Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website．This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing．
“Baidu's defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying．Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines，” said an official．
Like many teens，Huang Ruoru，an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province，doesn't think that getting music from websites is wrong．She always shares her favorite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends．When told about the lawsuit，she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others，work without paying．
However，other teenagers have different ideas．Wang Yafei，a Senior 2 girl from Jinan，Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers．“If I download a song and really like it，I will buy the CD，” she said．“So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music，rather than pursuing
（追赶，追击）file-sharers．”
71．Which of the following best describes the passage?
A．Music on the Internet is of better quality． B．Downloading material can be illegal．
C．It's good to get free music on the Internet． D．Baidu is a popular web company．
72．The four web companies were put to court because ．
A．they got copyrighted songs without paying
B．they downloaded copyrighted music for people
C．they make copyrighted files for free downloads
D．they offer free music on line
73．How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?
A．A bit guilty． B．A little sad． C．Extremely angry． D．Awfully sorry
74．What’s the advantage of file sharing for recording companies?
A．Getting more money from web companies．
B．Enabling people to download favorite songs
C．Helping to improve the music．
D．Making pop singers more popular．
75．It can be inferred from the text that ．
A．web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws
B．teenagers haven't got money to buy CDs
C．teenagers are probably still downloading free music
D．teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirate music

The Virtue of Helping Others
Nowadays，the virtue of helping others is frequently seen in our daily life．
As can be seen in the pictures above，people often give up their seats to old people on buses or in subways．In public places，people are ready to help the disabled，such as helping them to go up the escalator．Some people often donate blood to the sick，and some people contribute money in order to help the poor．
In my opinion，being ready to help others is very important．When our friends．our neighbors，or even strangers are in need or in trouble，especially those disabled people，we should help them as much as possible．When everyone shows his care for others，society will become a really enjoyable place to live in．

Frank likes his job．He knows that it is important to guard the factory at night．If he hears a noise，he goes quickly to see what it is．Most of the time he walks around inside the big building，but he also walks around outside part of the time．When he is tired．he can sit on a chair by the door．In the winter it is very cold．He always wears a warm coat when he leaves the factory．
Tonight when Frank goes outside，he hears a noise near a dark corner of the factory．He goes very quietly toward the noise to see if someone is there，but he sees only a small dog．Frank smiles and talks to the dog．It looks cold and sad．He takes the dog inside the factory，and the happy dog follows him around．
During the rest of the night Franks is not lonely．A dog is a good friend for a night watchman．
