    LONDON (Reuters) – Visitors to London always have to be on the look out for pickpockets, but now there’s a more positive phenomenon-put pockets．

    Aware that people are suffering in the economic crisis, 20 former pickpockets have turned over a new leaf and are now searching London’s tourist sites slipping money back into pockets．

    Anything from 5 pounds ($8) to 20 pound notes is being secretly put in unguarded pockets or open handbags in Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and other busy spots．

    The project, which runs until the end of August in London before being rolled out nationwide to major UK cities, is being funded by Talk Talk, which says it wants to brighten up people’s lives in unusual ways．

    “It feels good to give something back for a change-and Britons certainly need it in the current economic climate,” said Chris Fitch, a former pickpocket who now heads Talk Talk’s put pocketing project．“Every time I put money back in someone’s pocket, I feel less guilty about the fact I spent many years taking it out．”

    “The activity will avoid the City and Canary Wharf financial areas as we want to give the money to those who actually need it．” The put pockets have actually been told to avoid people that seem very well-off．

    The put pockets are given a specific ID to show to public if caught in the act, and have plain-clothed guards who will explain the situation if spotted．

    London’s police have been informed of the plan so put pocket aren’t arrested．The project will see at least 100,000 pounds given away．

    60．All the following measures are taken to protect put pockets EXCEPT that________．

    A．They are given a special ID．        B．Plain-clothes guards are around．

    C．The police have been informed of the plan．  

    D．They only work at tourist sites．

    61．The put pocketing project was intended to ________．

    A．give away 100,000 pounds           

    B．make the former pickpockets feel less guilty

    C．put money secretly in pockets           

    D．make people feel better in bad times

    62．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the project?

    A．The project is funded by Talk talk．   

    B．The project will run until the end of August．

    C．Chris Fitch now heads the put pocking project．             

    D．The project doesn’t mean to give notes to wealthy people．

    63．Which do you think can best describe what the passage is mainly about?

    A．20 former pickpockets turn over a new leaf．

    B．A put pocketing project is launched in London．

    C．It is good to give something back for a change．

    D．Visitors need not look out for pickpockets any more．

    On Tuesday August 11th, 1911, in the room where the world’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, was on display, there was an empty space where the painting should have been．The next day headlines all over the world announced the theft．

    Actually the Leonardo had been long gone．The museum was always closed on Mondays for maintenance(维修)．Just before closing time on Sunday three men had entered the museum, and hid themselves in a storeroom．Early next morning, they took the painting and left．

    Nothing was seen or heard of the painting for two years until Perrugia tried to sell it to a dealer for half a million lire．Perrugia was arrested and imprisoned for seven months．It seemed that the crime of the century had been solved．

    But had it? Perrugia claimed all responsibility for the theft, and it was twenty years before the whole story came out．In fact Perrugia had been working for Valfierno and Chaudron, who went unpunished for their crime．They would offer to steal a famous painting from a gallery(美术馆) for a dishonest dealer or private collector．They would then make a copy of the picture and, with the help of bribed(受贿的) gallery workers, would then attach the copy to the back of the original painting．The dealer would then be taken to the gallery and make a secret mark on the back of the painting．Of course the dealer would actually be marking the copy．After having been given the marked painting, if the dealer were to see the painting still in the gallery, he would be persuaded that it was a copy, and that he possessed the genuine one．

    This time, however, they stole the original．Before Perrugia was arrested, Valfierno and Chaudron had gone to New York．Valfierno told the story to a journalist in 1914, on condition that it would not be published until his death．

    Does the story end there? Collectors have claimed that Perrugia returned a copy．It is also possible that Leonardo may have painted several versions of the Mona Lisa, or they might be copies made by Leonardo’s pupils．There has been a lot of argument about the 450-year-old painting, but after all, maybe that’s what she’s smiling about．

    72．The Mona Lisa was stolen on _________．

    A．August 9th            B．August 10th       C．August 11th       D．August 12th

    73．Choose the right time order of the following events．

    a．Valfierno told the story to a journalist．   b．Perrugia was arrested．

    c．The truth was published．                d．The Mona Lisa was stolen．

    e．Valfierno went to New York．         f．The theft was announced．

    A．d, f, b, e, a, c     B．d, f, e, b, a, c     C．d, f, b, e, c, a     D．f, d, e, b, c, a

    74．We can infer from the passage that _________．

    A．In most cases, Valfierno did not sell the original paintings

    B．The Mona Lisa was painted 45 years ago

    C．Perrugia returned a copy

    D．Perrugia was not to blame for the theft

    75．All of the following about Valfierno and Chaudron are true EXCEPT_________．

    A．They stole paintings and then sold them to dishonest dealers．

    B．They were not punished for stealing the Mona Lisa．

    C．They kept the story to themselves until death．

    D．They sometimes bribed gallery workers to help them．

    （2010年重庆市高考放着试卷三C篇）

    Three years ago, a study of overfishing led to sharp debate．It warned that the world’s ocean fish could be almost gone by the middle of the century．Now, a new study offers more hope．It shows that the risk of fisheries(渔场) collapse has recently decreased in some areas-some, but not all．

    BORIS WORM: “This means different regions are heading in different directions and some regions have indeed begun to eliminate overfishing．”

    Boris Worm at Dalhousie University in Canada and Ray Hilborn at the University of Washington in Seattle were lead authors of the new study．

    Professor Worm also led the earlier study published in 2006．Professor Hilborn publicly disagreed with those findings．The result: the two scientists agreed to work together on a new study．

    They led a team that studied ten areas．In five of them, the rate at which fish are being taken out of the sea has dropped to a level that should let the populations recover．Three areas still had overfishing, but corrective measures have begun．

    Yet, in all, almost two-thirds of fish populations studied worldwide still need rebuilding．

    Only two areas did not have an overfishing problem in either the new study or the earlier one．They are New Zealand and the American state of Alaska．

    The new study found that overfishing has been reduced in Canada’s Newfoundland-Labrador area and in Iceland and southern Australia．It also found improvements in the northeastern United States and the California Current that flows south along the West Coast．

    The study found that better controls are still needed in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Bay of Biscay between France and Spain．

    The findings from two years of research appear in the journal Science．

    Using nets that let smaller fish escape and agreeing not to fish in certain areas can help reduce overfishing．The study showed that these measures helped fish populations grow in Kenya．

    But one of the authors of the study, from the Wildlife Conservation Society, says fisheries in Africa face another threat．Most countries in Africa, he says, are selling fishing rights to industrialized nations which catch large amounts of seafood．

    The study shows what happened when industrialized nations increased restrictions on fishing in their own waters．Seafood companies moved their boats to developing countries with fewer restrictions．

    64．Among the ten areas surveyed in the new study, _______ of them were not so overfished as they used to be．

    A．two-thirds       B．five             C．three                D．two

    65．As to the new study, which of the following statements is Wrong?

    A．It found that two of the areas studied showed improvements．

    B．It lasted two years in all．

    C．It showed that many areas still needed improving．

    D．It was conducted not only by Boris Worm and Ray Hilborn．

    66．The underlined word in paragraph 2 eliminate most probably means________．

    A．defeat           B．reduce           C．get rid of           D．improve

    67．Which can be the best title for the passage?

    A．Study Finds Some Ocean Fisheries Are Recovering

    B．Boris Worm and Ray Hilborn’s New Study

    C．New Findings about Overfishing Offer Hope

    D．Overfishing Is Decreasing
