Every night for a year, Neil Simons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to “talk” to an owl (猫头鹰)settling for the night at the end of his garden. He made owl cries like a real wild owl and was happy to hear the bird “hooting (大声叫嚣)” back to him.

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard an owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it wasn’t for a chance talk between their wives.

Mr. Simmons said. “My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back. She said, ‘That’s funny — that’s just what Fred has been doing.’ Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.”

Mr. Cornes said, “I’m really flattered (过奖). I didn’t know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me.”

A. stop observing owls                      B. not stay up hooting again

C. not enter the back garden again          D. make no mistakes about wild owl cries

65. “Then the penny dropped.” most probably means “Then __________.”

A. I understood                       B. everybody knew about it

        C. I heard the noise                        D. no money was paid

66. Mr. Simmons felt upset about the whole thing because __________.

C. garden owls hooted so differently       D. Fred had been doing the same

67. The text suggests that __________.

Dear fellow students,

Our school is aimed to build a “harmonious campus” .           

As a high school students, we should behave ourselves. But                                 

some students are badly behaved. They threw rubbish about                               

and listen MP3 or sleep in class. A few boys even smoke and copy                 

other students homework. I think it has a bad effect on their health as             

good as their study. A “harmonious campus” should have civilized               

students. So we should be strict on ourselves. Of course, study is the             

first. But we should study hardly. In order to build a harmonious                      

study atmosphere, they must develop good habits.       If everyone高☆考♂资♀源?网                     

makes a contribution to build our campus, I’m sure                                   

our school will become beautiful and harmonious.                                      

                                     Yours,

                                      Li Qiang

Winter is dangerous for drivers because it is so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place easily. Bad weather can be waiting to meet you. Ice might be hiding under the snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you might suddenly move across the road. Here are two rules for driving safely on icy roads:

Rule Number One is to drive smoothly. Irregular movements can make a car very difficult to manage. So each time you turn the wheel, touch the brake or increase your speed, you must be as gently and slow as possible. Just imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. You should drive carefully enough in order that you would not get the coffee out of the cup.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the farther you have to look down the road. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally speaking, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times, or you will get into trouble.

Which of the following can be used to explain why driving in winter is very dangerous?

   A. People drive more gently and slowly.

   B. People drive three times faster than usual.

   C. Unexpected things may often take place.

   D. Drivers usually have too much coffee.

What is the main idea of Rule Number One?

   A. To increase the driving speed.   

B. To drive smoothly on icy roads.

C. To manage your car irregularly.  

D. To drive fast on snowy roads.

Why does the writer want to take an example “a full cup of hot coffee” in Paragraph 2?

   A. Because drinks are necessary for drivers.

   B. Because he wants to remind drivers to take a rest.

   C. To enjoy the driving with a cup of coffee.

   D. To explain the importance of careful and smooth driving.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

   A.Traffic Accidents.                      B. Careless Driving.

   C. Bad Weather.                                   D. Winter Driving.
