The morni ng after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sis ter and me to go with him. I was only 14and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After al l, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel t o the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in the di stance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe it there arent any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay ,in whi ch the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stu ck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up s uddenly, making big whirlpools(漩渦)and waves. “Shes trying to hel p her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, m y father moved our boat in a XXXX to he other side and ,heading the b oat XXXX the baby whale ,pushed it gently. With out several gentle pu shes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it sw an up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempt s to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong dire ction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising form t he water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eves. Once they hit their list part lf clean water fl owing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement is had felt like only a few minutes, but we had b een with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades lat er, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.51.The author says “Im so glad I did.”(in para.2)because_.A.he wintessod the whole process of fishingB.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC.he experienced the rescue of the whalesD.he spent the weekend with his family52.The harbour survived the storm owing to _.A.the shape of the harbourB.the arms of one bayC.the still water in the channedD.the long coast line53.The mother whale failed to help her baby because _.A.she had stayed inthe polluted water for too longB.the whinpools she had made were not big enoughC.she had no other whales around to trun for helpD.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction54.What is the theme of the story?A.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B.Fishing provides excitement for children.C.Its necessary to live in harmony with animalsD.Its vital to proteet the envronment.BFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict bet ween neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admil a ny responsibility for starting it . From the parents; point of view, the only course of their fight is their asoloscents complete unrea sonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commo nly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation xxxxxx unimportant things. Exam ples include the color of t he teens hair, the cleannness of the bed room, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second , blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to ma ke the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third , needing to be right. It boesnt matter what the topic ispolitics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an eggthe point of these arguments is to prove that you are righ t and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an au thority someone who actually knows something and therefore to sommand respect. Unfortunately ,as long as parents and teens continu e to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress/55.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border confli ct?A.Both can continue for generations.B.Both are about where to draw the line.C.Neither has any clear winner.D.Ncither can be put to an end.56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C.The teens acouse their parcots of misleading them.D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.57.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _.A.give orders to the otherB.know more than the otherC.gain respect from the otherD.get the other to behave properly58.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that f ollows?A.Cuses for the parent-teen conflictsB.Examples of the parent-teen warC.Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD.Future of the parent-teen relationshipCThey weat the latcst fashions with the most up-to-date accessorie s（配飾）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but wom en in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street loo ks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said,“Women over 75 are. now shopping for clothes more frequently than they lid when t hey were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman w as a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchas e only every three or four yearsnow you can pick one up at the supe rmarket when ever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people ge t tired of things more quickly.”P(pán)rofessor Twigg analysed family expenditure（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women h ad stayed around the sameat 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said.“Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than the y were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in th e Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the beart of the British fashion i ndustry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now alm ost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion busines s in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流）style than in previous years.She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mir ren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change th eir look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape wel l in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my ol der customers wended to be very rich, but now they are what I would c all ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fash ions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”59Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, .Athe price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%Bthe spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%Cpeople spend 30% less than they did on clothesDthe amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%60When can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?AThey are often ignored by fashion designers.BThey are now more easily influenced by stars.CThey are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.DThey are more interested in clothes because of their old age. 61It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashio ns today mainly because .Athey get tired of things more quicklyBTV shows teach them how to change their lookCthey are in much better shape nowDclothes are much cheaper than before62Which is the best possible title of the passage?AAge Is No Barrier for Fashion FansBThe More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveCUnexpected Changes in FashionDBoom of the British Fashion IndustryDThis brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to a nyone learning at any stsge of life.Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-m asterly book on schooling. The author W.H.Armstrong, starts with the basice; reading and writing.In his opinion, raeding doernt just mea n recognizeing esch word on the page; it means taking in the informat ion , digesting it and incorporaing it into oneself just as one diges ts a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring th e information back to life , not just to treat it as dead facts on pa per from dead trees. Raeding and writing cannot be completely separat ed from esch other;in fact , the aim of reading is to express the inf ormation you have got from the text . Ive seen it again and again ;some-one who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as i neffective as someone who hasnt read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion , which Ar mstrong devoter to specific tips for studying languages ,math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透徹的) and equally ,except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history . Well , he was a history teacher -if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his s tudents , that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got cross . To my disapppointment , in this part of the book he igno res the arts. As a matter of fact ,the demand all the concentration a nd study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind .Although its commonly believed that the arts can only be n aturally acquired , actually , learning the arts is no more natural t han learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged . The frist edition apparently dates to the 1960s , one of the references (參考文獻(xiàn)) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points , though , and dont affect the main dis cussion . I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.63.According to Armstrong , the goal of reading is toA.gain knowledge and expand ones viewB.understand the meaning between the linesC.experts ideas based on what one has readD.get information and keep it alive in memory64.The author of the passage insists theat learning the artsA.requires great effortsB.demands real passionC.is less natural than learning mathsD.is as natural as learning a language65.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong;s work according to the authorA.Some ideas are slightly conteadictory.B.There is too much discussion on studying science.C.The styly is too serious.D.It lacks new information.66.This passage can be classified asA.an advertisementB.a book reviewC.a frature storyD.a news reportEHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming ma y have made our cli,ate ,ore mild, many animals are still hibernating (冬眠). Its too bad that humans cant hibemate. In fact, as a spec ies, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in Fance liked a semi-state of hunman hibemation. Scwrites Graham Robb, a Brinsh scholar wh o has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the France shut themselves a way and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for month s on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer a t CBC Radios The Cu rrent, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the incention of artificial(人造的)lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they not iced something referred to as “first sleep”.which was not clarified, though, Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slep t in separate peri ods. The business of eight hoursuninterrupted sle ep is a modem incention,In the past, without the artificial light of the city bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then world themselves ar ound midnight, The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It w as when people actually kept watch against wild animats,although many of them simply moved around or visited lamily and neighbours.According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia（失眠） a t midninght is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience an other state of consciousness around their sleeping,which occurs in th e beief period berore we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning, This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit uponm any of his new ideas.Flaying with your sleep rhythms can be adaunturous,as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesnt help help much in this case. It off ers u s medicines for a full nights continuous sleep, which sounds n atural; however, according to Warrens theory, it is really the oppo site of what we need.67.The example of the French peasanls shows the fact that .A.people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB.there were signs of hibernation in hunan sleeping habitsC.people lended to sleep more. Peacefully in cold weatherD.winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end69.What does the author advise people to do?A.Sleep in the way animals do.B.Consult a doctor if they cant sleep.C.Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D.Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.68The late night was called“The Watch”because it was a time for p eople .Ato set traps to catch animalsBto wake up their family and neighboursCto remind others of the timeDto guard against possible dangers70.
