Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days.Suddenly, his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panie. Use your brain and think your ways out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home.“Bees don’t like smoke,”he thought.“They couldn’t get into the house.”Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees has gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover, ” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.”

Kong Zi called Confucius (551-479 B.C.).and Soerates(469 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Soeraes was not asked by rulers how to govern offectively. Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in government service and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life, “Do not others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had some potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socraes focusesd on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates,nthe family was of no importance,nand the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
64.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B.Confuius had much influence on Socrate’s ideas.
C.The socioties were influeneced by the philosophers ideas.
D. There were cultured exchanges between China and Greece.
65.Socate shared wih Confucius the idea that .
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
66.What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A.Family B.Potential C.Knowledge D.Community
67.This passage is organized in the pattem of .
A.time and events
B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect
D.definition and classification

Moderm inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves timc, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left bebind in another time zones Again spending too long at compulers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some seientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
68.The new products become more and more time-saving beeause .
A.our love of speed seemts never-ending
B.time is limited
C.the pnces are increasingly high
D.the manufacturers boast a lot
69.What does“the days”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Imaginary life
B.Simple life in the past
C.Times of inventions
D.Time for constant activity
70.What is the author’s attitude towards the modem teehnology?
A.Critical
B.Objective
C.Optimistic
D.Negative
71.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The present and past times
B.Machin and human beings
C.Imaginations and inventions
D.Modern teehnology and its influenec

Every day we experiencc one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it It is not the amazing complexity of television. Nor the impressive technology of transport The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹)it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
72.According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is .
A.our ability to use language
B.the miracle of technology
C.the miracle power of nature
D.our ability to make noises with mouth
73.What feature of “body language”mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?
A.Lifting heads when sad.
B.Keeping long faces when angry.
C.Bristling hair when ready to attack.
D.Bowing heads when willing to obey.
74.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Body language is unique to humans.
B.Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C.Humans have other powers of communication.
D.Humans are different from animals to some degree.
75.This passage is mainly about .
A.the development of body language
B.the special role humans play in nature
C.the power to convey information to others
D.the difference between humans and animals in language use
