My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body . Through the years I would 21  the correct answer . When I was younger , I thought  22   was very important to us as humans , so I said , “My ears , Mummy .” She said , “No. Many people are 23 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years passed before she asked me again . Since making my first  24  , I had often thought over the question . So this time I told her , “Mummy , it must be our eyes .”She looked at me and said, “You are  25 fast , but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

Everybody was heart broken . Everybody was crying . My mum looked at me when it was our 30  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa .

It shows that you have really 34your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears . She said , “My dear , the most important body part is your 35  .” I asked , “Is it because they hold up your head?” She replied , “No , it is  36 on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head . I only hope that you have enough  37    and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry 38  when you need it.” Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a  39  one .

       Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems. It is the poorest of the poor. Only small sums are available for excavating(挖掘)and even less is available

for publishing the results and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. Besides, there is the problem of unlawful excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to businessmen at the highest price..

   I would like to make a suggestion that would at once provide money for archaeology and reduce the amount of diggings against law. You might say that professionals excavate to get knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient artifacts(古器

物) are part of our global cultural heritage(遗产), which should be there for all to appreciate, not sold at the highest price. I agree. Sell nothing that has scientific value. But, you might reply, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. Here,

we disagree. In theory, you may be correct in saying that every artifact has hidden scientific value..

   People can not help appreciate every unearthed treasure but there is not enough money even to put the finds in good order; as a result, they cannot be found again and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered. Indeed, with the help of the Internet, sold artifacts could be more reachable than are the pieces stored in museum basements. Before sale, each could be photographed and the list of the purchasers could be maintained on the computer. A purchaser could even be required to agree to return the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes.

53.What’s the problems that archaeology as a profession has to face?

   A. Money and unlawful excavation   .          B. Effectively duplicates.

   C. Scientific purposes.                                      D. Excavation law.

54.To let most people enjoy ancient artifacts, the practical way could be_______.

   A. putting them in the museum          B. having sold artifacts returned

   C. making use of the Internet           D. solving the money problem

55.Which of the following four suggestions about archaeology is from the author?

         A. No selling of any unearthed ancient artifacts.

B. Some money should be raised for the purpose.

C. Selling some unearthed ancient artifacts and having them returned when needed.

D. Ancient artifacts, our global cultural heritage, should be evenly shared by us all.

 —Would you mind my using your bicycle for a while?

 — _________, but do return before 11.

A. No problem          B. Not at all               C. A pleasure          D. Sorry but I do

. Having been praised by the teacher, the little girl ran back home,       .

A. happily and satisfied                 B. eager and excitedly                     

C. happy and satisfied                  D. anxiously and excitedly

How “Kangaroo” Became an Animal’s Name

Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouth-like head and jumped along on its large legs. To his surprise, the unusual animal carried it’s young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kang-a-roo, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal’s name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal “Kang-a-roo”, but their requests met with puzzled looks of the native people. Before long they got to discover that the native guide who made the answer to Cook’s question really meant, “I don’t know what you are pointing at.” Funny enough, the name “Kang-a-roo” stuck and it is still in use today.

60. Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea?

   A. Captain Cook’s guide had a sense of humour.

   B. Native Australians could speak English in Cook’s time.

   C. Some words have rather funny origins.

   D. Captain Cook was a lover of wild animals.

61. The main use for the animal’s flesh pocket is to_______.

   A. keep food                B. carry its babies

   C. a long distance            D. store food and water

62. When the native guide said “Kang-a-roo” he really meant_______

   A. “Ah, it is a special kind of animals.” 

   B. “I wonder what you have said.”

   C. “I have no idea of what you are pointing at.”

   D. “What do you mean by pointing at that animal?”

63. The writer indirectly expresses that early in the 18th century_______

A. the native Australians and the Europeans explorers were not friendly to each other.

B. a common language was needed by the Europeans to communicate with the   native in Australia.

C. a great many Europeans showed great interest in Australia.

D. a war against the European invaders was a break out

I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol （京都议定书） to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.

                                                             — Eli S.,10,Texa

People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.

                                                  — Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett

The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

                                                  — Aaron z,11,Massachusett

It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting （污染物排放）countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.

                                                         —Augustine S.,11,Ohio

The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

                                                    — Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania

Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should  at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins（企鹅）and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.

                                                        —Samantha R.,11,Illinois

72．Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?
