BUNOL, Spain (AFP) — Tens of thousands of people from around the world threw tons of ripe tomatoes at each other in an annual food fight that painted the eastern Spanish town of Bunol red.

More than 40,000 people, including many visitors from Australia, Britain and the United States, took part in the food fight known as the “Tomatina”, now in its 64th year, a spokeswoman for Bunol’s town hall said.

They were provided with over 100 tons of tomatoes by the town council for the battle which lasted about one hour and left participants covered in red.

Many men were shirtless while others wore old clothes, hardhats, goggles or protective plastic sheets.

Shopkeepers put up huge plastic covers on their store fronts or boarded them up to protect their properties from the sea of red mush (糊状物).

After the battle, governmental workers and local residents used “giant hoses” to clear the walls and streets of the tomato pulp in just half an hour while the participants headed to a nearby river where temporary showers were set up.

The event cost the town of some l0, 000 residents 40,000 dollars, and Spanish media reported.

The “Tomatina” is held each year in Bunol, located in a fertile (富饶的) region about 40 kilometers north of the coastal city of Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, on the last Wednesday in August.

The origins of the event are unclear although it is thought to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends in the mid-1940s in the city.

It has grown in size as international press coverage brought more and more people to the festival.

To keep their stores safe, the shopkeepers _____.

A. kept their store fronts covered B. hung plastic sheets on the walls

C. closed all the doors and windows D. stopped people throwing at them

Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “pulp” (in Paragraph 6)?

A. skin. B. color. C. mush. D. value.

It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. the “Tomatina” brings in huge profits

B. the festival attracted more tourists this year

C. no one knows the history of the festival

D. tourism plays an important role in Bunol

What would be the best title for the passage?

A. It is fun to throw tomatoes B. An exciting story about tomatoes

C. Fighting and sightseeing in Bunol D. Spanish town painted red in tomato fight

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n) 36 injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to 37 the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.

"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.

The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39 shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.

"Maybe I should quit," I 40 as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow, 41 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 42 and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43 .

When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45 be cheering for the boys."

I thought, "Courage? She must be 47 me for someone else. I just 48 a race! I would have never been able to finish those two miles 49 I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"

I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .

That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories. They are measured in the struggles we 55 .

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.

41. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.

B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.

C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.

D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.

42. This passage mainly tells us .

A. that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries

B. what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries

C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries

D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

43. Which is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. How to make good use of a dictionary. B. When to use a dictionary.

C. How to improve spoken English. D. How to practice reading fast.

There’s talk today about how as a society we’ve become separated by colors, income, city vs suburb, red state vs blue．But we also divide ourselves with unseen dotted lines．I’m talking about the property lines that isolate us from the people we are physically closest to: our neighbors．

It was a disaster on my street, in a middle-class suburb of Rochester Town, several years ago that got me thinking about this．One night, a neighbor shot and killed his wife and then himself; their two middle-school children ran screaming into the night．Though the couple had lived on our street for seven years, my wife and I hardly knew them．We’d see them jogging together．Sometimes our children would share cars to school with theirs．

Some of the neighbors attended the funeral（葬礼）and called on relatives．Someone laid a single bunch of yellow flowers at the family’s front door, but nothing else was done to mark the loss．Within weeks, the children had moved with their grandparents to another part of the town．The only indication that anything had changed was the “For Sale” sign in front of their house．

A family had disappeared, yet the impact on our neighborhood was slight．How could that be? Did I live in a community or just in a house on a street surrounded by people whose lives were entirely separate? Few of my neighbors, I later learned, knew others on the street more than casually; many didn’t know even the names of those a few doors down．

Why is it that in an age of low long-distance expenses, discount airlines and the Internet, when we can create community anywhere, we often don’t know the people who live next door? Maybe my neighbors didn’t mind living this way, but I did．I wanted to get to know the people whose houses I passed each day – not just what they do for a living and how many children they have, but the depth of their experience and what kind of people they are．

What would it take, I wondered, to break through the barriers between us? I thought about childhood sleepovers（在外过夜）, and the familiar feeling and deep understanding I used to get from waking up inside a friend’s home．Would my neighbors let me sleep over and write about their lives from inside their own houses?

72．The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph probably refers to the talk about ____．

A．how a society is divided by dotted lines

B．the property lines separating us from our neighbors

C．the couple’s death

D．understanding each other between neighbors

73．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author’s description?

A．The husband killed himself．

B．The couple had the habit of jogging together．

C．Their children moved to live with grandparents after the couple’s death．

D．The author never knew the couple until they died seven years later．

74．From the last paragraph, we can infer that the author _____ in his childhood．

A．had once slept in the open air outside

B．had slept in his friend’s home more than once

C．had slept at home but woke up to find himself inside his friend’s home

D．used to live in his friend’s home

75．Following the last paragraph, the author will perhaps _____．

A．leave his home and began his writing career

B．sleep in the open air and write about his experiences

C．sleep in his neighbors’ homes and write about their family lives

D．interview his neighbors and write about their houses

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30 pm, and at 6:30 pm she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.

“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I’ve got no time for you now, but I’ll take you out as soon as I get back from the tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet. When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

“Listen, doctor, I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting - can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I’ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

“Sure,” said the doctor.

Joanne made a quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.

“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor’s voice. “I’m coming round fight away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”

At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.

“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.

“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”

Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

“I think he must be a burglar,” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat. It turned out to be three human fingers.”
