    Education is endless, 3           (compare) with schooling. It can take place anywhere. It includes both the standard learning that takes place in schools and     4_         whole universe of learning out of class. Though the experience of schooling can be known in  5        (advanced), education quite often produces surprises. A chance talk with a   6          (foreign) may lead a person to discovering how little he knows of another country. People obtain education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad and   7        (limit) term. It is lifelong experience that starts long before the start of school.
    Schooling,  8      the other hand, is a basic experience,  9         style changes little from one way to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at the same time, take 10        (fix) seats, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams and so on. Schooling has usually been limited by the edges of the subjects being taught.

    Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
    Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
    Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $100 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.
    Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.
    Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.”
    The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “ The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.
    66. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
    A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.
    B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
    C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
    D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
    67. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
    A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.
    B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.
    C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.
    D. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.
    68. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?
    A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.
    B. It may create more problems than it might solve.
    C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.
    D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.
    69. We can conclude from the passage that ________
    A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.
    B. asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.
    C. the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
    D. workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.
    70. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?
    A. Optimistic          B. Critical         C. Objective         D. Arbitrary

    The huge explosion at Krakatau was the result of two different factors. One was that the volcano had not broken out for some time and so at the very center of the volcano there was an huge plug of lava, this acted like a cork(塞子) in a bottle, stopping the pressure below from being released(释放). The second factor was that ocean water entered the very centre of the volcano as the explosions became more violent. This caused superheated steam to build up enormous pressure and this was finally released in the largest explosion of all on August 27, 1883. The sudden release of the pressure sent huge amounts of ash, rock and dust into the sky. Some of the ash rose 80km into the air and traveled around the Earth causing brightly coloured sunsets for several years.
    Krakatau almost disappeared; for many years after this explosion, it remained very quiet. However, there was still activity going on under the sea and on 25 January, 1925, a small volcanic cone appeared above the surface of the water. This new volcano was named Anak Kmkatau, or Child of Krakatau. Over the following years, the size of the island grew larger, by 1959, the island was 300 metres above the surface of the sea. The volcanic activity has continued and the latest eruptions were in 1995.
    There is no doubt Krakatar will continue to grow and there is also strong evidence that at some point in the future there will be another violent explosion. Krakatau is in a part of the world where the surface of the Earth is unstable and is always moving and cracking. If, in the future, another “cork” becomes fixed in the centre of the volcano, the pressure will build up. A series of a smaller explosions will allow sea-water into the centre of the volcano and once again the result will a terribly destructive explosion.
    66. The latest eruptions were in_______.
    A.1925           B. 1959           C. 1995          D. 1983
    67. The pressure under the volcano can not be released because _______
    the plug looks like a cork in a bottle
    the volcano hasn’t broken out for some time
    the center of the volcano is blocked(堵塞) by lava
    the temperature of the steam is not high enough.
    68. We can infer from the article that Krakatau volcano________
    A. has broken out three times               B. never dies but continues to be active
    C. will kill many people again in the future    D. is always moving and growing above sea.
    69. All of the following results are caused by the explosion at Krakatau EXCEPT that_____
    A. ash, rock and dust was thrown high into the air
    B. others small volcanoes were soon produced.
    C. The island of Kratau was destroyed
    D. People saw beautiful sunsets for some years
    70. The article is mainly about________
    A. the cause of the Krakatau volcano      B. the danger of the Krakatau volcano
    C. the history of the Krakatau volcano     D. the future of the Krakatau volcano

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    “Help! Help! Help!” a resident screamed over the phone, “I am being eaten alive by mosquitoes!”
    Recent rainfalls have produced an early hit of blood-seeking mosquitoes．Once flooded, eggs laid during the drought along water banks hatch（孵化）quickly, flying off to seek hosts such as people, birds, and other animals．
    The flood mosquitoes are big and aggressive．They chase you down, drill into your skin and take your blood, causing pain and itchiness．“I have lost a pint of blood to those suckers,” a Spring Hill resident claimed．“Mosquitoes are killing my kids,” a Ridge Manor woman shouted．
    Residents are urged to protect themselves when going out, especially during the hours of dusk and dawn．Long-sleeve shirts, long pants, socks and hats will help keep mosquitoes at bay．
    Mosquito Control has already received hundreds of service requests this month．When calling in, residents need to provide their name, address, phone number and nature of the problem．Technicians will respond by investigating the problem and making proper treatment and notification to resident．
    Mosquitoes grow in almost any kind or amount of water．Controlling mosquito larvae（幼虫） is vital to mosquito control．Confined in their water habitat, larvae are treated and eliminated before they mature and “take to wing．” Field technicians check their areas searching for mosquitoes breeding in lakes, ponds, drainage ditches and they treat the water with a host of larvicides（杀幼虫剂）．
    It is important to understand that mosquito control is much more than sending a spray truck （airplane or helicopter in other counties） to kill adult mosquitoes．Night-time spraying is actually the last defense after all the above procedures have been done, but there are still mosquitoes present in the area．
    56．The author writes the first paragraph in order to _________．
    A．make the public take action at once
    B．attract readers to read the following contents
    C．show that the people bothered by mosquitoes are helpless
    D．criticize the government has done nothing
    57．When do the eggs hatch according to the passage?
    A．When the flood hits．     B．During the drought．
    C．After the flood leaves．  D．When spring comes．
    58．When are mosquitoes most dangerous?
    A．At dawn and dusk．       B．At noon．
    C．In the late morning．      D．At midnight．
    59．When calling Mosquito Control, people should provide the following EXCEPT _________．
    A．their name and address    B．phone number
    C．nature of the problem      D．marriage and possessions

    The professor stood before his class of 30 senior biology students, about to pass out the final exam. “I have been honored to be your instructor this term, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or graduate school next fall,” he said to them.
    “I can well understand how much pressure you are under to keep your grades up, and because I know you are able to understand this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic(自动的) “B” to anyone who would prefer not to take the final.”
    In relief a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and left the class. The professor looked at the students who remained, and offered again, “Any other takers? This is your last chance.” One more student decided to go.
    There were seven students left. The professor closed the door. Then he handed out the final exam. There were only two sentences typed on the paper: “Congratulations, you have just received an “A” in this class. Keep believing in yourself.”
    I never had a professor who gave a test like that. It may seem like the easy way out of grading (评分) a lot of exams, but it’s a test that any teacher in any subject could and should give. Students who don’t have confidence in what they’ve learned are “B” students at best.
    The same is true for students of real life. The “A” students are those who believe in what they’re doing because they’ve learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from formal education or the school of hard knocks, and become better people.
    Take your cue(榜样) from Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma: “It’s not the mountain we conquer (征服), but ourselves.” Don’t let the biggest limit be yourself.
    53. The professor offered an automatic “B” to those who would prefer not to take the final exam because _________.
    A. he liked the students who wanted to get a “B”
    B. he believed they were able to pass the exam
    C. he thought any teacher should give them a “B”
    D. he thought it was the easy way of grading exams
    54. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. 22 students got a “B” in the final test without doing the paper.
    B. Most of the students would go to medical school shortly after the exam.
    C. There were actually no problems on the test papers for the students to work out.
    D. The way the professor tested his students would not be suitable for other subjects.
    55. According to the writer, the test given by the professor was ________.
    A. funny        B. meaningful       C. difficult            D. harmful
    56. The point of the story is to advise readers _________.
    A. to pay attention to what they can do
    B. not to miss any final exam at school
    C. not to let themselves limit their growth
    D. to surround themselves with confident people

    D
    Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States)  made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
    McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.
    “So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”
    63．Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?
    A. He is a famous fashion designer.
    B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.
    C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.

    A. A new unit of a book.                                                 B. The beginning of a new trend.
    C. The latest issue of a magazine.                       D. A newly established organization.
    65．Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?
    A. Polyester.                       B. Bamboo.                         C. Leather.                 D. Patchwork pieces.
    66．What do we learn from this passage?

    The easiest way for the English to deal with their social discomfort is to avoid social interaction altogether, by choosing either leisure (闲暇) activities that can be performed in the privacy of one’s own house, or outdoor activities that follow their interest without direct contact with anyone other than one’s own family members, such as going for a walk, or to the cinema, or shopping．
    In recent survey, over half of all the leisure activities were of this private domestic type, and of the top ten pastimes, only two—having friends round for a meal or drink, and going to the pub—could be described as ‘sociable’．The most domestic activities are the most popular: watching TV, listening to the radio, reading, DIY （Do It Yourself） and gardening．Even when the English are being sociable, the survey findings show that most of them would much rather entertain a few close friends or relatives in the safety of their own homes than venture out  among strangers．
    In the latest national census survey （人口普查）, over half of the entire adult male population had been DIYing in the four weeks before the census date．Nearly a third of the female population had also been busily improving their homes, and their work with their gardens was equally obvious: 52 percent of all English males and 45 percent of females had been out there, cutting branches and weeding grass．
    Even among people claiming to belong to a particular religion, only two percent attend services every week．The rest of the population can be found every Sunday at their local garden center or DIY superstore．And when they want a break from caring about their own homes and gardens, they go on trips to visit bigger and better houses and gardens, such as the stately homes and gardens opened to the public by the National Trust and the Royal Horticulture Society．Visiting grand country houses always ranks as one of the most popular national pastimes．
    45．The result of the survey shows that ________.
    A．about half English people enjoy working in their gardens
    B．8 out of 10 pastimes can be described as social activities
    C．2 percent of the religious people enjoy visits to public houses
    D．visiting stately homes is the most popular national pastime
    46．According to the passage, the English enjoy all of the following EXCEPT________.
    A．the social activities, such as gathering with friends
    B．working at home and in their gardens
    C．dining out in a public place among strangers
    D．visits to stately homes and gardens
    47．The underlined word “domestic” probably means________.
    A．public      B．household     C．outdoor           D．collective
    48．The passage mainly tells us about________.
    A．why the English don’t like social activities
    B．how the English spend their leisure time
    C．what the result of a recent census survey is
    D．where the English hold their private activities
