【A】
We often hear the phrase:
used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However, the mon
saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning.
Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊尔).
Lightning strikes are the second most mon cause of deaths during natural disasters in
the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year,
and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes
and hurricanes.
Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as
much attention as other disasters.
So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week.
It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during
thunderstorms.
you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning,said Rocky Lopes, a disaster
educator at the American Red Cross.

move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most
important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place,
Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky,
remember these safety tips:
Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take
cover inside the nearest building.
Do not stand under a tree.
Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.
Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair
driers.

56. The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that ______.
A. there’s a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster
B. it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters
C. the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small
D. it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening
57. The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _______.
A.18% B.50% C. 30% D. 73%

Detectives often look for footprints when they try to solve crimes. Scientists use
footprints, too—dinosaur footprints when they try to figure out how dinosaurs lived and
moved.
Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. Today scientists work to solve the
mysteries of these ancient animals.
Footprints, or tracks(脚印), are an important way to learn about dinosaurs. Christian
Meyer of the Natural History Museum in Basel, Switzerland, calls dinosaur tracks “the
closest thing to a movie” of dinosaurs.
“They tell us something about the size of the animal, the way they were
walking…they tell us something about their speed,” Meyer said.
Tracks also show that dinosaurs sometimes traveled in groups. Traveling in groups
probably helped dinosaurs protect themselves from enemies. Plus, some meat-eating
dinosaurs may have hunted in groups, much like wolves do today. Being in a group could
help dinosaurs work together to kill large animals.
Dinosaur footprints can be as small as a few inches across, but they can also be as big
as a few feet across. Dinosaur footprints have been found throughout the world at over
1,500 sites, including a T. Rex footprint in New Mexico. “Trackways” are groups of
footprints.
And scientists aren’t the only ones finding dinosaur tracks—kids can, too!
Eleven-year-old Mark Turner and nine-year-old Daniel Helm discovered dinosaur tracks in
British Columbia, anada. Soon scientists began studying the tracks.
Scientists and other people interested in studying dinosaurs are working to save the
trackways from activities like construction and mining.
60. The passage mainly tells us that_______.
A. there were really dinosaurs on the earth millions of years ago
B. dinosaurs were the most frightening animals in the past
C. dinosaur footprints are important in learning about dinosaurs
C. why dinosaurs died out millions of years ago
61. By studying footprints scientists can know the following EXCEPT _______.
A. how big the dinosaur was B. what color the dinosaur was
C. how fast the dinosaur could run D. how the dinosaur walked
62. By working in groups, some meat- eating dinosaurs_______.
A. made the hunting of large animals easily
B. could travel a long way without being lost
C. could protect themselves from being hunted by wolves
D. could get to a place faster

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is
good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese
student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does
not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their
problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.
Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a
limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use
the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they
are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their
goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be
accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them
correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across,
to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes
you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are
speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth
but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.
Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they
passively wait for speaking opportunities to e to them and wonder why their English
always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English
opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget what English you
know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by
speaking English more.
64．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To improve your reading.
B．To improve your listening.
C．To improve your spoken English.
D．To improve your vocabulary.
65．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that______.
A．don’t be fluency , Just be accuracy
B．don’t be nervous ,don’t be shy . Just write!
C．don’t be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!
D．don’t be shy ,don’t be fluency. Just listen and write!
66．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_____”.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly(老
年人) and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question
of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to
this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make
this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a pany
must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a mercial
disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.
This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of
retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble
paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This
means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This
could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（养老金）.
Furthermore, some in-situation should be created for senior citizens, which can help
provide a fortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country
shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the
elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some
working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options（选择）have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it
is reasonable to expect that some bination of these options may be needed to provide the
care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
68. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problems faced by the old in society.
B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C. How we can improve the lives of the old.
D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.
69. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired
people?
A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.
70. The underlined word “viable” most probably means “__________”.
A. impossible B. practical C. useful D. successful
71. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
