We're nearing the peak of the 11-year solar cycle, so double-check your GPS and watch where you're going.

On Thursday, the sun suddenly gave off a massive solar flare. Solar flares can disrupt(使中断) radio communications, including devices that use Global Positioning System technology, such as cell phones, airplanes and car navigation（导航） systems.

So if you're relying on your GPS for driving directions, to find your location on your phone's mapping tool or for any other purpose, have a backup navigation system handy, such as a printed map. Even more importantly, pay close attention to where you are and where you're going. Don't rely solely on your GPS to give you directions.

In 2006, research from Cornell University proved that solar flares can cause GPS devices to lose signal. This can cause these devices to temporarily misrepresent your location or otherwise malfunction. "If you're driving to the beach using your car’s navigation system, you'll be OK. If you're on a commercial airplane in zero visibility weather, maybe not," said the researchers and they warned that after 2011 there would probably be lots of GPS disruptions.

In addition, solar flares can disrupt power systems. This week, National Geographic reported: "Under the right conditions, solar storms can create extra electrical currents in Earth's magnetosphere -- the region around the planet controlled by our magnetic(磁的) field. The electrical power grid（电网） is particularly likely to be affected by these extra currents, which can go into high-voltage transmission lines, causing transformers to overheat and possibly burn out." Across the nation, electric services and grid operators are preparing to respond to such problems.

A number of such blasts are expected over the next three to five years -- and the biggest flares are yet to come. This week's flare registered M9.3, about the highest level in the medium category. Larger flares that fall into the "X" category can cause global radio blackouts, but large M-class flares also can cause radio disruptions.

This is one of a series of recent chain reactions of severe space weather, as the solar cycle approaches solar maximum in 2013. Other major flares came in February and June, and more may follow. Remember to keep those printed maps handy.

72. ________ can help you better if massive solar flares break out.

　　　 A. The phone’s mapping tool.

　　　 B. Global Positioning System.

　　　 C. Car navigation systems.

　　　 D. The printed map at hand.

73. The underlined word “malfunction” refers to ________.

　　　 A. operate smoothly.

　　　 B. fail to run properly

　 C. crash as directed

　　　 D. manage appropriately

74. How many major flares have broken out according to the passage?

　　　 A. Once　　　　　　　

　　　 B. Twice　　　

　　　 C. Three times　　　　　　

　　　 D. Four times

75. Which will probably be the most suitable title?

A. Recent solar flare may disrupt your GPS

　　　 B. 2013, the solar cycle approaches maximum

　　　 C. Cornell University’s research on the solar flare

　　　 D. Never rely on your GPS for directions any longer

Australian people love swimming and going to its beautiful beach. But it wasn’t always that way.

       Different climate leads to different habits. When Europeans first invaded Australia, the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. At first, only men swam. They swam without any clothes on—there were no women to see them.

       Cover up! By the 1880 and 1890s visiting the beach was very fashionable. People wore everyday street clothes—much more than people wear at the beach today. In those days it’s believed people should cover their most body so as not to be seen by the opposite sex. Special bathing costumes were designed for women. This costumes used a lot of cloth and were very heavy when wet, making it difficult to swim.

       Laws made and laws changed. The government decided to stop men swimming naked(裸体). It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6 am and 7 am. But in 1903, the laws changed; people could swim in the daytime, but they had to wear neck-to-knee costumes.

        Costume is shrinking. As time passed, swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient. At first men and women were covered from neck to knee. Then arms became bare. Then more of the legs were uncovered. Each new change was regarded by many as shocking and rude and people wrote letters to the newspapers complaining about the new costume.

Nowadays some people go to special “nude beaches” to swim naked. However, most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years ago—not because they think bare skin is shocking—but to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

68. Which of the following statements about the climate of Australia is TRUE?

       A. It changed European settlers’ attitude to swimming.

       B. It changed European settlers’ swimming costume.

       C. It made European settlers feel much hotter.

       D. It made European settlers have to swim naked.

69. During the late 19^th century, swimmers should_________.
       A. wear a lot of heavy clothes on beaches.

       B. wear special wet costumes designed for them.

       C. hide when they come across a person of the opposite sex.

       D. cover their body to avoid being seen by the opposite sex.

70. What does the underlined sentence mean?

       A. People were surprised by each new change and criticized it.

       B. People were amazed by each new change and welcomed it.

       C. Only newspapers were in favor of each new change.

       D. Only newspapers thought poorly of each new change.

71. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

       A. People worry about getting skin disease from too much sun.

       B. People protect their swimming costumes from too much sun.

       C. People sometimes go swimming on the nude beaches.

       D. People today cover their bodies more than before.

　　　 When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was "bad", you'd shake your finger at me and ask: " How could you?"—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．

My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together．We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides．We stopped for ice cream．I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day．

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate．Eventually, you fell in love．She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home．I was happy because you were happy．Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too．Your wife was afraid I would bite them．But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend．

Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets．You've made the right decision for your "family" , but there was a time when I was your only family．

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound．It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness．You filled out the paperwork and said:"I know you will find a good home for her．" They shrugged and gave you a pained look．The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye．And "How could you?" were the only three words that swept over my mind．

Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen(畜栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream．

My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever．I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me．

You cannot say that it’s entirely true that kids learn a second language easily, but it’s still the best time to learn. Babies are basically equipped to hear and distinguish every possible language and dialect, but once they reach 6 months old, they begin to focus on the particular sounds that exist in the languages that they’re exposed to. In this way, kids will naturally and automatically be bilingual(双语的) if they hear multiple languages on a daily basis when they are still babies.

One lady told me of her son who grew up in a very multi-cultural community working at a resort. He would naturally and easily switch from Dutch, to French, to Italian, German and English depending on who he was talking to. Of course that’s an extreme case, but it’s completely possible and easy.

It’s not true that they will get mixed up by learning multiple languages. They may mix them up purposely simply because certain words or expressions are easier, but they won’t develop any permanent language disabilities. Quite the contrary, bilingual children have been shown to be as much as a year more advanced in learning ability development for 2 and 3 years olds.

Some kids who simply aren’t gifted at learning languages, just as some aren’t gifted at sports or music, will find it difficult to continue schooling in a foreign language. In that case, it may be better not to continue with the foreign language school. Perhaps for Grade Two you could try a bilingual school.

In any case, learning even a small amount of a foreign language, maintaining the ability to hear and pronounce it by listening to music and movies will keep a foundation for later learning. Knowing a second language can be a great benefit for gaining employment.

56. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

　　　 A. It’s difficult for kids to learn a second language.

　　　 B. Kids are able to learn multiple languages.

　　　 C. Kids should be exposed to the native language.

　　　 D. Kids enjoy all kinds of different dialects.

57. The lady told us that her son_________.

　　　 A. was working in a multi-community

B. could speak five kinds of languages

　　　 C. was learning some different languages

　　　 D. could talk with many people at the same time

58. In which way can learning multiple languages benefit kids?

　　　 A. Mixing up different languages.

　　　 B. Distinguish different dialects.

　　　 C. Developing learning ability.

　　　 D. Developing language disabilities.

59. What should you do if your kids are not good at learning language?

　　　 A. Send them to a bilingual school later.

　　　 B. Ask them to turn to sports or music.

　　　 C. Encourage them to remain in Grade One.

　　　 D. Let them remain in the foreign language school.

After losing his job at 50, Lee had enough time and made a list of unfinished business. He was _36　 through boxes of reminders that called up memories of things he 37 have done but didn’t.
