    A mouse looked through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package；what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
    Running to the farmyard，the mouse shouted，warning everyone，“There is a mouse trap in the house，there is a mouse trap in the house．”The chicken，with her head high，glared at the mouse and said，“Shut up．Little Ugly．This is a great concern to you，but it has nothing to do with me：I can’t be troubled by it．”
    The mouse turned to the pig and told him．“There is a mouse trap in the house．”“I am so sorry，Mr Mouse，”said the pig sympathetically，“but there is nothing I can do about it but pray；you are always in my prayers．”
    The mouse turned to the cow，who said，“A mouse trap，am I in great danger，huh?”
    Now the mouse had to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone．
    That very night a sound was heard through the house，like that of a mouse trap catching its prey．The farmer’wife rushed to see what was caught．In the darkness，she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught．The snake bit the farmer’s wife．The farmer rushed her to the hospital．She rerturned home with a fever．It is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever，so the farmer took his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient．His wife’s sickness continued，so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock．To feed them，the farmer killed the pig．The farmer’s wife did not get well，in fact，she died，and so many people came for her funeral．The farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat．
    So next time when someone is facing a problem，don’t say that it has nothing to do with you．
    57．We could see from the passage that the mouse was          ．
    A．good at cheating others                         B．dishonest
    C．kind and warm-hearted                               D．foolish

    B．The mouse trap was very practical．
    C．The pig is more friendly than the other animals．

    A．fable(寓言)                                        B．science fiction
    C．fairy tale(神话)                                       D．humorous story
    60．What can we learn from the story?

    B．It is better to be safe than to be sorry．
    C．Sometimes when the least of us is threatened，we all might be at risk．

    Host family accommodation,or living with host families,remains popular among language travel students for its unique advantages.These days,host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality,for they still have something to worry about.
    Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,cultural communication and cost of living.Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisiton is likely to become faster.Living in host families also has the advantage of students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”,and get to know the local way of life,people and culture.Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive.It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
    The advantages,however,have not prevented host families from worrying.On one hand,some host families are losing their unique selling point.The probelm is that the majority of bosts in big cities,now generally single and young,have less time available for students,but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice.On the other,students’ expectations have risen.They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation,as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
    To get out of the difficult situation,host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service.They are trying to make living conditions better,including broadband Internet service,private bathroom,and access to plenty of hot water for long showers.They are also providing students with structured family activities.
    It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

    Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education. One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere. He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English, French, Math and History at a private school in Manchester. Here is his response:
    For me, the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic, but goes against the idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school.
    The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast. Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened; do they really need more pupils? Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis, should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education? There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools.
    It is noted that, in general, private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education. This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them! If the private schools did not exist, where would be the impetus for state school improvement?
    Government should not simply ban a system which produces results. It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model. Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody, learning from a successful system will.
    小题1:In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere, parents have the right to ______.
    A．criticize state-funded schools
    B．pay taxes for the promotion of private schools
    C．choose the way their children receive education
    D．advocate the competition between state schools and private ones
    小题2:According to the passage, banning private education will ______.
    A．obviously contribute to lower taxes
    B．not cause the state schools to be overburdened
    C．force the government to boost state education
    D．lead to many people losing their jobs
    小题3:The underlined word “impetus” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.
    A．motivationB．preventionC．participationD．assessment
    小题4:Compared with state schools, private ones ______.
    A．educate a little fewer students B．conduct better than all state ones
    C．are better received by the publicD．are more competitive on the whole
    小题5:Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with?
    A．His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers.
    B．Without the existence of private schools, state ones wouldn’t get improved much.
    C．Private education is a good system to make students successful in life.
    D．Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones.

    Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
    If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we   36   not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of   37  . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.   38  his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his   39   company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new   40  .
    Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it   41   a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not   42   that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.  43  , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators   44  creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new   45  . They may know the rules correctly, but they are   46   to use them to work out practical problems.
    It is important to give children   47  . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the   48   decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong  ___50    to find a way out of trouble.

    When an ant dies, other ants move the dead insect out. Sometimes, the dead ant get moved away very soon—within an hour of dying. This behavior is interesting to scientists, who wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
    One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist. Choe found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I’m dead—take me away.”
    But there’s a twist to Choe’s discovery. Choe says that the living ants—not just the dead ones —have this death chemical. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, it’s telling other ants that it’s dead.
    What keeps ants from dragging away the living ants? Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like, “Wait—I’m not dead yet.” So Choe’s research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants: one says, “I’m dead,” and the other set says, “I’m not dead yet.”
    Other scientists have tried to figure out how ants know when another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, for example, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be alive.
    Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant dies, the chemical that says “Wait- I’m not dead yet” quickly goes away. Once that chemical is gone, only the one that says “I’m dead” is left. “It’s because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases new unique chemicals after death,” said Choe. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they drag away the body.
    Understanding this behavior may help scientists figure out how to stop Argentine ants from invading new places and causing problems. Choe would like to find a way to use the newly discovered chemicals to spread ant killer to Argentine ant nests.
    The ants’ removal behavior is important to the overall health of the nest. “Being able to quickly remove dead individuals and other possible sources of disease is extremely important to all animals living in societies, including us,” says Choe. “Think about all the effort and money that we invest daily in waste management.”
    51. The underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 3 means _____.
    A. an unexpected change                              B. a clear mistake
    C. an important key                                        D. a shocking conclusion
    52. Ants judge whether another one is dead or not depending on ______.
    A. the sense of taste                                      B. the sense of smell
    C. the sense of touch                                               D. the sense of sight
    53. The result of the research can be used to ______.
    A. kill troublesome pests
    B. solve the problem of endangered species
    C. prevent further expansion of the ants’ territory
    D. keep the balance of nature
    54. Why is it important to remove dead individuals?
    A. Because it is easier to manage the living.
    B. Because it can save money to deal with the waste.
    C. Because it can provide more space for the living.
    D. Because it can keep the living from suffering disease.
    55. What might be the best title of the text?
    A. Dead or living? It is easy to judge
    B. Pulling away the dead ants is a difficult task
    C. Ant nests have great undertaking capacity
    D. Leaving it alone or taking it away? Ants feel puzzled

    If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.
    It’s good to make mistakes. That’s not a typo, folks, and I have not lost my mind. It is good to make mistakes, and here’s why.
    First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing.  If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
    Another good thing about mistakes is this, when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how he felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
    Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated(消除) one of those things and are one step closer.
    But this all doesn’t mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
    We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
    There is an old axiom that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”
    So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow, And prosper.
    59. Which of the following isn’t suitable for the passage?
    A. Mistakes suggest that people are trying something new.
    B. People can draw lessons from their mistakes.
    C. Mistakes mean that people are getting closer to success.
    D. People can afford to make mistakes as long as they limit them.
    60. The underlined word “typo” means ___________.
    A. printing mistake B. computer error         C. poor handwriting    D. bad typing
    61. It’s good to make mistakes as long as _________.
    A. people use them positively             B. people avoid them quickly
    C. they help people get well               D. they don’t have side effects
    62. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage as far as mistakes are concerned?
    A. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. They are unavoidable.
    B. Try your best to make fewer mistakes. They are expensive.
    C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. They are beneficial.
    D. The more mistakes you make, the more advances you’ll make.

    Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
    The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
    By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles.
    Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn’t provide an ideal solution. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown. Based on this idea, the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
    72.The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means __________.
    A. making     B. arguing       C. controlling       D. inspiring
    73. About __________ drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.
    A. 850,000     B. 1,000,000      C. 150,000       D. 2,000,000
    74. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us ?
    A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.
    B. Less and less people bought cars in March.
    C. The city sent out less private licenses in March.
    D. More and more people are going to buy cars.
    75. According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will __________.
    A. send out more private car licenses
    B. build more parking lots near bus stops
    C. encourage people to buy more cars
    D. build more parking areas in downtown

    What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes — the list goes on and on 
    The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child.

It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet 
    Ebay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is lake an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business.  The world is your market place. Of course for each item, eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

    A. a way of buying and selling goods

    C. For gathering the engineers                            D. To fulfill a task of his company 
    44. From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2 we learn that Peter _________.
    A. did not feel lonely                             B. was always hopeful 
    C. did not think about the past                             D. became more and more successful 
    45. How does eBay make money from its website?
