Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a 31 for scientific discoveries. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, 32 something that caught my 33 . “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the age of twenty-five and thirty.” Being a little over thirty myself, I wanted to 34 with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any 35. The next day I went to the public library, spending several hours, and 36 to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.
First I looked at some of the 37 discoveries. One of the earliest, the famous one that 38 that bodies of different weight 39 at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he 40 his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 41 of that. Yet I wondered if those “best years” were true in other 42 .
Then how about 43 ? Surely it needed the wisdom of 44 to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people 45 their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln 46 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.
But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I 47 most people do not want to take risks or try new ways in their lives. Then I thought of those famous people 48 Shakespeare and Picasso. The former one was writing wonderful 49 at the late age of fifty, 50 the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

A
Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hot lines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about so the host has to tell the caller what the show is about Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知). Then the host has to answer and explain—how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. To let the listeners hear them they don’t care what the topic is, no matter whether they themselves are interested in it or how silly they appear to be.
I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn’t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
51．The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme” may tell us that ____．
A．Radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B．it is a fact
C．It is a good idea D.Some people have unclear thoughts
52．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Some people know little about the topic under discussion．
B．Some people do not know what the host id talking about．
C．Some people do not know what the show is about．
D．The writer tells us that the host is silly．
53．The host has to answer and explain, ____ ．
A．for the host works hard
B．because of the caller’s ignorance
C．for the host likes talking to the caller
D．because of the questions raised by the listener
54．The passage doesn’t tell us the idea ____ ．
A．That some listeners phone the hotlines for fun
B．That some people just want to be heard by others
C．That some people who don’t care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be silly
D．What the hotline programmes are
B
Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustman”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
55．Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ____ ．
A．They depend on the sheep for existence
B．They enjoy traveling with the sheep
C．They can eat its parasites
D．They find it most comfortable to sit on the sheep’s back
56．The underlined work “they” in the sentence of the first paragraph refers to “____”．
A．birds and parasites B．birds and sheep
C．parasites and sheep D．sheep, birds and parasites
57．It can be learnt form the passage that the coral depends on the plant for ___ ．
A．comfort B．light C．food D．oxygen
58. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A．Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence．
B．Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily．
C．Some plants depend on each other for food．
D．Some animals live better together．

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
While the subjects—usually students—sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.
64. According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying ____.
A. contents of dreams B. dreamers while they dream
C. the meaning of dreams D. the progress of sleeping
65. Their finding has discovered that _____.
A. everyone dreams every night B. dreams are easily remembered
C. dreams are likely to be frightening D. One person dreams only one dream a night
66. The machines being used in the experiment record _____.
A. the depth of sleep B. the subjects’ brain waves and eye movements
C. how many dreams a person has D. what a sleeper dreams during his sleep
67. A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _____.
A. was of most interest to him B. occurred immediately after he went to sleep
C. occurred just before he woke up D. was the longest one to him

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable materials on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have chance to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want you kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chance would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know that is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
Four other tips:
－Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity
－Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.
－Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
－And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them any thing accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
68．The passage is mainly about the subject of ____．
A．American children going on-line B．Internet in America
C．appreciating Internet D．opposing children’s on-line
69．Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A．Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children．
B．Children’s not having chance to the Internet may have effect on their progress．
C．Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having chance to the Internet．
D．Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them．
70．According to the passage, we can infer that ____．
A．Softwares fit for children want programming
B．a child who is on-line is in danger
C．Internet is a jungle full of danger
D．Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

ONE POSSIBLE VERSION:
Tsunami
Tsunami is a Japanese word that means an extremely large wave in the sea with considerable destruction. It is mostly produced by an undersea earthquake, but underwater volcanic eruptions and landslides can also generate tsunamis. Tsunamis, which can be very destructive and cause many deaths and injuries, usually occur on the seafloor or in coastal areas.
In December 2004, a terrifying tsunami triggered by a strong earthquake occurred in some countries in the Southeast Asia. Almost 200,000 people perished in a few hours, and over 100,000 are still missing. This disaster drew worldwide attention and care The Chinese government provided a great deal of aid by giving them food, tents and blankets. Besides, China sent out a rescue team to the disaster-stricken countries.
