But Sun Huashan, deputy administrator（副部长）of the State Administration of Work Safety, said their chances for survival were “rather slim”.The bureau supervising Henan coal mine safety was also pessimistic（悲观的）.“The situation is very tough in the mine. The gas is very dense（浓密的）, and in such conditions, it’s hard to survive,” an official at the bureau told the French news agency AFP.Thousands of people died in some poorly regulated mines each year, despite the government promises to improve safety.Official figures released on Thursday showed that 4,153 people died in mining accidents in China in the first three quarters of this year — a figure 13% lower than last year’s.56. The passage probably es from .A. a newspaperB. a diaryC. a story bookD. a survey57. About _________ people were dead or missing in the gas explosion.A. 400B. 200C. 246D. 14058.

A. it’s hopeful to find someone aliveB. it’s not unlikely to find one aliveC. it’s almost impossible for them to live in such a hard situationD. they would give up rescuing and searching59. The passage tries to tell us __________.A. one of the worst coal mine accidentsB. how to avoid coal mine accidentsC. many coal mine accidents happen in ChinaD. the decrease of deaths in mining accidents of the yearB“It’s really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching her dad flying overhead. Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed staying with some friends who had something in mon with each other. She especially loved the time when her dad would e home each day and greet her with a new joke.Today was different, though. When her dad walked in the door, he looked sad for some reason. Casey didn’t like that look. Her dad just kissed her on the forehead and told her mom that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.As her parents came out of the other room, mom was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain to me that he was called on to go to Iraq and that he would leave for one year. Casey was so astonished that she couldn’t speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year? She had a lot of questions and their family discussed all the details that evening.Soon, the day came. Casey’s dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit（驾驶舱）, the tears began to flow from their eyes. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn’t be seeing her dad for so long time. They depended on him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window in the bathroom? Who would greet her with jokes every day?60. What is Casey’s father’s job in the military?A. Serve on the plane.B. Drive fighter jets.C. Repair fighter jets.D. Transport the soldier.61.

Casey saw her father off at the airport.C. Casey’s dad looked sad.D. Casey’s father left home.CConsider, for instance, the writing skill of spelling. In a recent survey, Graham reported that when children learn to spell some words incidentally（偶然地）or informally as they read or write, good spellers learn many more words through these methods than poor spellers. On the other hand, direct spelling instruction improves the spelling performance of both good and poor spellers. But it is unlikely that such instruction can account for all the necessary growth to bee an excellent speller. For example, adults can typically spell 10,000 or more words correctly, but are only taught how to spell about 3,000 words while in school and not all those words are mastered. Therefore, both formal and informal methods should be stressed. This does not mean, however, that equal amounts of both should be provided. Instead,the level of formal and informal instruction needed by individual children, will vary and should be adjusted（调整）. With balanced instruction, the fulcrum（支点）is the child, and balance depends on what the child needs.This same principle also applies to considerations about the role of meaning, process, and form in writing instruction since skilled writing depends on all three. The amount of emphasis placed on each area should be adjusted so that it is consistent（一致的）with the needs of the child. For example, Juel found that some children who were poor writers had difficulties with both form and process, whereas others had difficulties with just one or the other. Thus, some of the students should be given additional help in both areas, whereas other students needed help in only one.64. The paragraph before this passage may be about _________.A. children’s needB. balance between meaning and processC. emphasis on spellingD. writing instruction65. From the first paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that ________.A. both the formal and informal instructions will be usedB. spelling words without instructions will be more effectiveC. the instruction is perfect to explain the growth to be a good spellerD. adults can spell words better than children in every way66. The passage puts stress on ________.A. the writing skills of spellingB. how to spell betterC. balanced instruction to the students need in writingD. principle about the role of writing67. What is the most suitable title for this passage?A. Two methods of spellingB. Principle of writingC. Balanced instruction for childrenD. How to be a good speller.DThe American turkey is famous for some of its characteristics. The bird can run at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour, and it can fly in short bursts at a speed of more than 50 miles per hour. Turkeys have excellent eyesight and hearing. If they have a sharp sense of smell, they would be almost impossibly forgetful.There are two signs of turkey presence. One is their V-like scratches（抓痕）while getting food. And the other is the male turkey’s beaks, wh ich are the size of a small finger with a bend at one end, like the letter “J”.Native Americans in the Southwest and Mexico kept turkeys for feathers and food, and the birds with their alarm calls probably were good “watch dogs” as well. The Indians used the feathers in ceremonies, and used the feathers to form blankets. They hollowed out the large leg bones to serve as whistles.The Spanish transported wild turkeys from Mexico to Europe for domestication （驯养）in the 16th century. European settlers brought domesticated turkeys back to the New World. Finally, local decrease of wild turkeys paralleled（平衡）the European settlers’ spread across America. Today, widespread re-introduction programs are under way to return the five species of wild turkeys to their native habitats.In the late 1770’s, Benjamin Franklin suggested that the turkey should be the symbol for the United States. He argued that the Bald Eagle was no better than a fish-eater. The American turkey lost to the Bald Eagle by a single congressional vote.68. The turkey is most famous for _____.A. its sharp sense of smellB. its excellent eyesightC. its speedD. its alarm calls69. The Native Americans kept turkeys for some usages EXCEPT ?A. for eatingB. as “watch dogs”C. for ceremoniesD. for making whistles70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The turkey’s beak is the size of a small finger with a bend at one end.B. Many species of wild turkeys are brought into their native habitats —America.C. The Spanish transported wild turkeys form America to Europe for food.D. The turkey can run at a speed of over fifty miles per hour.71. What is the symbol for the United States?A. The turkey.B. The fish-eater.C. The male turkey’s beak.D. The Bald Eagle.EWhen some friends came to San Francisco, I wanted them to e away with a good dining experience that shows off why San Francisco is the cooking center of the West Coast. I had made a reservation at 1:15 on Sunday and was promptly seated. My husband and I took our two small children with us, thinking that because it was lunch, we would be served quickly. How wrong I was.I was deeply embarrassed that I had brought my friends to the restaurant. The waitress took forever to get our drink order, and then a while longer for the food. Fortunately I ordered an appetizer（开胃菜）for my 4-year-old son to eat, for that came within a reasonable time. The main lunch order took forever. We sat down at 1:15 and our lunch arrived at 2:45. The waitress brought us a plimentary（免费赠送的）plate of some sort of delicious salad, but we had to deal with two small children who do not have the patience to wait an hour for food. I’m an adult and even I was getting impatient for the food, and so were my guests. It was my mistake to think that at lunch, one could get lunch at the speed normally at a five-start restaurant for dinner. My guests were very understanding that these things did happen, but it was irksome that people who sat down after us got their lunch before us and left before we received our food.Yes, the food was delicious. Will I go to this restaurant again? Doubtful, as having what appeared to be forgotten by the wait staff has left a bad taste in my mouth.72. What does the underlined word “irksome” mean in the second paragraph?A. Happy.B. Sad.C. exciting.D. Annoying.73. How long did the diner last?A. About one hour.B. About two hours.C. One hour and a half.D. About three hours.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In the author’s opinion, San Francisco was famous for its good dining.B. The author and her friends didn’t have lunch at last.C. The food was so delicious that the author was very satisfied with the dinner.D. Next time, the author with her friends will go to this restaurant again.75. What’s the best title for this passage?A. An terrible dayB. An embarrassed lunch experienceC. How delicious the food isD.

Both her parents give hands to help ride, though out of breath.I think this is a true reflection of the Chinese society. In each family, there is usually one child, so he bees the center of the family. His parents, even grandparents do everything for him. So when the child grows to a certain age, and when he knows he should do something, he may ask like the one in the picture, “Could you let me ride all alone?”In my opinion, parents should give their children enough room to live bythemselves. Only when their children can live all by themselves can they be the true owners of the country tomorrow. Please give them a free hand!。
