Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a   41   on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from   42   to toe , explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he    47   me back.

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the   51   .

It was about 5 a.m. before they    52   .The young fellow asked me how much he   53   me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later, I received a   55    from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most   58   person in the company.

In his letter, he thanked me again and    59   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

      There are warm tropical regions all over the globe, but only the Indians of the South American rain forests have formed the habit of sleeping in the open air. Long before they made painful acquaintance (相识) with Europeans, they had invented something that was unique on earth: the hammock.

     Nobody really knows who first had the bright idea of making sleeping in the air the symbol of untroubled rest. The Indians see the hammock as a “gift of heaven (上天)”, something given to them a very long time ago.

      In it the Indians pass away hot noon hours, napping or chatting. Swinging it to and fro (来回摆动) creates a cooling breath of air and keeps away insects. They work and play in hammocks, are born and die there.

     Hung like a suspension bridge between heaven and earth, a hammock is dry while the soil is damp and is safe from most wild animals.

      Hammocks have the advantage over beds in that they are easy to transport and take up very little space when they have been rolled up(卷起) . Indians never go on a journey without their hammocks, not even to their plantations.

76.The word hammock in this passage means _______.

A. a suspension cage which can be swung to and fro in the air

B. a seat hanging by two ropes from the branch of a tree

C. a suspension bridge in the South American rain forests.

D. a net hung between two supports and used as a bed.

77. When was the hammock invented and by whom?

A. The Indians had invented the hammock long before they came to South America.

B. The Indians had invented the hammock long before the Europeans came to South America.

C. The Europeans invented the hammock after they made acquaintance with the Indians.

D. The Europeans had invented the hammock before they went to South America.

78. Indians swing the hammock to_______.

A. pray to heaven for a gift       B. keep away flies, mosquitoes and other insects

C. keep away wild animals        D. all asleep quickly

79. According to the passage, hammocks _______.

A. cannot be rolled up                B. are difficult to transport

C. are never brought to the plantations   D. can be kept dry while the ground is wet

80. The passage is about _______.

A. the Indian way of living                      B. tropical regions

C. Indians' gift for the Europeans           D. a portable bed

   The discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的)”human being” who lived in Flores .Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family .This “Flores Human”was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩),yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives.They seem to have made tools ,worked together to find food and cook it,and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.

    It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member .The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石)from our own species;Homo sapiens (智人)；and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago .Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago ,much too late to be responsible for the tools .If this tiny human made the tools ,them the inside structure (结构)of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp’s ,despite being just a third the size of ours.

    This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人).When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies,being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing.Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping — even improving — mental ability ?Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.

     Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools，use fire ,and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.”  Wills says .Did “Flores Human” possess the basic components of human culture — such as the burying of the dead with ceremony ?  Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia’s hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization.It is reasonable to assume , he says ,that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.

67.According to the passage , “Flores Human”______.

A.lived a partly human life                        B.was a branch of Homo sapiens

C.used tools before Homo sapiens arrived    D.had a brain as a common chimp’s                    

68.The underlined part “this tiny human”in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A.a chimp     .   B.Flores Human C.Homo sapiens   D.Homo erectus                  

69.This passage mainly talks about______.

A.the tools made by “Flores Human”    B.the language used by “Flores Human”

C.the evolution of “Flores Human”             D. the major surprising findings about “Flores Human”      

70.According to the passage ,it is believed that “Flores Human”_______.

A.was dwarfed by its enemies                           B.could use language

C.left a lot of fossils in hot and wet enviroment D.reached Flores 40,000 years ago 

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

   A. depend on one sense in choosing food        B. are not satisfied with their food

   C. choose food in similar ways                      D. eat entirely different food

61. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

   A. The white butterfly.            B. The small bird.         C. The bear.             D. The fox.

62. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

   A. the season changes                                  B. the food color changes

   C. they move to different places                   D. they are attracted by different smells

63. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

   A. food is chosen for a good reason                      B. French and British food is good

   C. some people have few choices of food       D. some people care little about healthy diet
