Farmers,as we all know,have been having a hard time of it lately,and have turned to ne w ways of earning income from their land.This involves not only planting new kinds of crops,but some55 ways of making money,the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing.Yes,you heard me 56 !A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis,
and during the past year over 100,000 people have57 to watch the race.“I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,"one punter(赛马经纪人)told me,“and I thought I'd have a look.I didn't believe it was serious to tell you the truth."According to a regular visitor,betting on sheep is more interesting than betting o n horses.“At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 5 8,and there are clear favourites. 59 nobody has heard anything about these 60 !Most p eople find it difficult to tell one from another in any case."I stayed to watch the races,a nd I must admit that I found it quite61. In a usual sheep race,half a dozen sheep race d own hill over a course of about half a mile.Food is waiting for them at the other end o f the62 just to give them some encouragement,I ought to add!The sheep run surprising ly fast，63 they have probably not eaten for a while.Anyway,the crowd around me were obvio usly enjoying their day out at the races,64by their happy faces and the sense of excite ment.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,mon B.strange C.swift D.illegal
56.A.honestly B.surprisingly https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,pletely D.correctly

(B)
The British love to think of themselves as polite and everyone knows how fond they a re of their “pleases"and“thank yous".Even the simplest business such as buying a trai n ticket requires 65 seven or eight of these.Another 66 of our good manners is the queue.New comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 67 national sport .Finally,of course,motorists generally stop at crossi ngs.But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite tha n their European neighbours?I think not.
Take forms of address(称呼)for example.The average English person— 68 he happens to work in a hotel or de partment store—would rather die than call a stranger “Sir"or“Madam".Yet in some E uropean countries this is the most basic of common address.Our 69 “you" for eve ryone may appear more democratic,but it means that we are forced to seek out compli cated ways to express 70 .I am all for returning to the use of “thee"and“thou"(Thee and thou are oldfashioned poetic words for“you");“you" would be 71 for strangers an d professional relationships.
And of course,the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British 72 ever touch?Personlly, I find the Latin habit of s haking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming.Try kissing the average English person ,and they will either take two steps backwards in horror;or,if their escape is 73 ,you
will find your lips touching the back of their head.Now what could be 74 than that ?\ =
65.A.at least B.at most C.less than D.not more than
66.A.signal B.scene C.sign D.sight
67.A.true B.original C.superior D.advanced
68.A.if B.whether C.when D.unless
69.A.universal B.unique C.regular D.normal
70.A.politeness B.gratitude C.democracy D.consideration
71.A.ordered B.reserved C.offered D.stocked
72.A.highly B.mostly C.hardly D.nearly
73.A.confirmed B.assured C.jammed D.blocked
74.A.better B.ruder C.more polite D.more frightening
Ⅴ.Reading Comprehension
(A)
While reading,you may focus on the Q(question)and A(answer)on the following web page.\=
Q:My husband and I would like to spend five of six days in the Maldives.Could you s uggest some low priced hotels?We'll be there in November.
Jan Dayles,e mail.
A：Prices in the Maldives are high.The cheaper hotels(and there aren't many)mightn't be much to look at,with unpleasant rooms,iron roofs,old buildings,poor and rough vegeta tion and basic facilities,but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy,free island feel.
Angaga(South Ari Atoll,phone 0011 960 450510),Asdu Sun Island(North Male Atoll,e -mail info@https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,.mv)are both a bit like this.
You'll be there in the low season (May to November).when it's still warm,but threre's a greater likelihood of rain,so you should be able to get a double(standard)room with f ull board(three meals a day)for ＄100 a night.
However,pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard,superi or and luxurious rooms.
Q：My husband and I are from Australia.We are planning a four week trip to London,Du blin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels.We have searched t he Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can't find anythin g cheaper than ＄150 a night.
Joan Maloney,e mail.
A：For Australians travelling Europe,especially its capital cities,is expensive.You may ha ve to increase your budget(预算).However,if you can't afford these costs,then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about ＄20 a person in Dub lin and Paris and ＄35 in London.The minimum you would pay for a double room in a central area is ＄50 a person in Dublin and Paris and ＄70 in London.These prices a
re for shared bathroom facilities,though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in.
Not all hotels are equal,of course,and it's a good idea to consult a guidebook with a go od reputation.
75.The hotel Angaga in the Maldives__________.
A.attracts untidy people
B.has some basic facilities
C.has the best landscape
D.can be contacted by email
76.If you spend your holiday in the Maldives in February,__________.
A.there is a greater likelihood of rain
B.the weather will probably be better than that of the low season
C.standard,superior and luxurious rooms are all available
D.a standard room with full board will cost less than ＄100 a night
77.What is the advice for the couple planning to visit Europe in October?
A.They could live in hotel rooms of lower standard.
B.They should put up with the wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast.
C.They should buy a reliable guidebook instead of increasing the budget.
D.They should stay in hotels in a central area.

Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years,but she was not happy there.Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor,a younger and less experienced person than she,did not like her.In fact,the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
One day,while talking with her friend Maria,she mentioned how discouraged she was .Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources D epartment for a large chemical company.Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
During the interview,Mr Petri said,“You're just the kind of person we need here.You'v e being wasted in your other job.Give me a call in a day or two.I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization."Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.
That afternoon,Ruth Kenny,her supervisor,saw that Martha had come in ten minutes la te from her lunch hour and she said ,“Oh,so you finally decided to come back to work today?"
This was the last straw.She could not take another insult.Besides,Mr Petri was right: s he was being wasted in this job.
“Look," she said angrily，“if you don't like the way I work,I don't need to stay here.I'll go where I'm appreciated !Goodbye!"She took up her things and stormed out of the office.\;
That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria.“W hat do you think?"
“Well,"said Maria carefully,“are you sure about the other job?"
“Well,not exactly,but..."
Maria continued ,“Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms Kenny if you n eed one?"
“A recommendation?...from Ms Kenny?"hesitated Martha,in a worried tone. “Martha,I hope you didn't burn your bridges,”Maria said.“I think I would have handle

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia's fast food generation.Dr Chw ang,director of the Department of Food Nutrition,says children are consuming more m eat and soft drinks.That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat.“They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So althou gh they eat the same volume of food,their [WTBX]caloric intake(卡路里摄入量)has increased.Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,"says Ch wang.
Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness,culture—namely Asians' 〖WTB X〗hospitality〖WTBZ〗(好客)—is a reason for the fatness of today's generation,according to Chwang.“Asian peo ple love food,"she says.“Eating and drinking are important social and family functions ."In the past, however,big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money.In today's climate of wealth and remarkable consumption,1 0 course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.
More than anyone else,children are on the receiving end of their parents'improved circ umstances.“In the past ,people had four or more children—now,they have one or two，so they tend to spoil them,"says Chwang.“The easiest way is to give them …quality foo d'.Parents think feeding them well is showing their love .They feel bad when their chil dren look thin."
When describing the condition of most overweight Asian children,Chwang says:“Ther
e is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play.Children get fat because they don't move,and eventually,they don't want to move because they're fat."
Thanks to technology，a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports.“What do childre n do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games?They eat chocolate and drink Coke,"says Chwang.
82.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,n people tend to save more money.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,n children depart from their diet tradition.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,n children eat big meals on more occasions.
D.Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children.
83.According to this passage,the…quality food'fed by some parents is actually_______ ___.
A.healthful food
B.qualified food
C.agreeable food
D.high caloric food
84.Some parents feel bad when their children look thin,because__________.
A.their children don't love eating and drinking
B.their children don't have a good physical condition
C.they feel that they don't take good care of their children
D.they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford …quality food?
85.The purpose of this article is to__________.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html,pare the traditional diet with today's diet of Asian children
B.find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian people
C.explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadays
D.prove the relationship between fatness and indoor play
(D)
Many experts complain that media too often take advantage of the science fiction aspe cts of nanotechnology(纳米技术).Reports of nanotechnology often refer to K.Eric Drexler's book Engines of Creati ons，which predicts an age full of dominant 〖WTBX〗molecular〖WTBZ〗(分子的)manufacturing and a world without material scarcity.Whatever humans need will o ne day be built cheaply with 〖WTBX〗microscopic self replicating machines 〖WTBZ〗(微细自我复制机)that put atoms together to create copies of anything alive in the world —from trees to human bodies.
In fact ,the scientific community is deeply divided over whether self replicating mac hines are possible.If they are ,major dangers could exist.Mr Drexler himself thought t hat self-replicating machines could probably go out of control.He writes in his bo ok that man made“plants" with “leaves no more efficient than today's solar cells cou ld win over real plants,crowding the earth with leaves that are not suitable to be eaten. Tough …bacteria'could be more competitive than the real bacteria:They could spread e verywhere,replicate swiftly,and reduce the earth to dust in a matter of days." Critics of nanotechnology have made use of such images,calling for a delay on comm ercial nanotechnology until regulations are established.They also point to the possible
military uses of nanotechnology.Bill Joy,the co founder of Sun Microsystems,wrote i n a Wired magazine essay in 2000 that if nanotechnology falls into the wrong hands,it could bring dangers to society.
Opponents say Mr Joy is overreacting.“In a way ,calling for bans on research into mol ecular manufacturing is like calling for a delay on faster than light travel because n o one is doing it,”says Glenn Reynolds，a University of Tennessee law professor. Professor Reynolds says it is a good idea to regulate nanotechnology,but in ways the g overnment would regulate any products that could be dangerous.Export controls and c ertification systems for nanotechnology companies are https://www.doczj.com/doc/d318880265.html, lawmakers have put forth four bills on nanotechnology research and development.
86.K.Eric Drexler in his book predicts a future world with sufficient material,because __________.
A.man made plants could replace real plants and grow more quickly
B.plants produced by nanotechnology would be as efficient as today's solar cells
C.man made bacteria would be widespread and capable of self replicating
D.humans could create copies of anything alive with high technology
87.To call for a delay on commercial nanotechnology,critics of nanotechnology make use of__________.
A.current social problems
B.science fiction descriptions
C.disagreements in the scientific community
D.the fact that no one is doing molecular manufacturing
88.Opponents of Bill Joy would NOT agree to__________.
A.control nanotechnology export
B.ban nanotechnology research to avoid any possible dangers
C.put forth four bills on nanotechnology research and development
D.establish a certification system for nanotechnology companies
89.Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Nanotechnology should not be put into wrong use in the military field.
B.The government should regulate products that could be dangerous.
C.Nanotechnology regulations should be established in spite of the divided opinions.
D.The media should not take advantage of the science fiction aspects of nanotechnolo gy.
