His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “Im a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward (安排一个三等病房) for me, please.”“Cant anybody help you?”“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. Shes nun and shes poor, too.”“I dont think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”“Well, then,” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill (账单) to my brother-in-law.”56.

To any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo. Dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing (闻).Like other animals, dogs see best when things move, The animals they hunt seem to know this. A hunted rabbit or deer will “freeze”. Then the dog may not see it at all. Birds can see colour. They need to, because they fly and need to find places to land. Colour helps them judge distance and shape. In this way they are able to catch bugs (昆虫) in the air or to light on branches. Some birds see things even better than you do. The birds that eat bugs can see them from far away. And even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky. So sharp eyes and a sense of colour help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are.61. _ can see colour.A. All the animalsB. All the mammalsC. Man and dogsD. Birds and monkeys62. In order to find their food, dogs mainly use their _.A. eyes and noses B. ears and nosesC. eyes and earsD. mouths and ears63. The word “freeze” in the passage means _.A. the hunted animals are frozen on the ground because of cold weatherB. the hunted animals temperature is becoming lower and lower until it drops below 0C. the hunted animals will stop running and stay in the same place without movementD. the hunted animals are so frightened that they cant move any longer64. Colour helps birds _.A. see better than man B. see better than dogs C. see how colourful the world is D. see clearly where food and enemies are CHong Kong pop star Zhang Guorong（张国荣）, 46, jumped out of a window of Mandarin Oriental Hotel at the start of April, 2003, leaving behind sorrowful fans and suicide（自杀）note which newspapers said was caused by emotional problems. His death shocked the public and the incident again brought a serious topic to suicide.Zhang was best known globally for his part in the blockbuster film “Farewell My Concubine”, where he played a homosexual（同性恋的）Chinese opera singer. The popular 1993 film won a lot of awards including the world-famous Palmed and at the Cannes Film Festival. However, such achievements could not make Zhang content with his life. It was reported that long before his death, Zhang had been suffering from depression.According to experts, about 5 to 10 percent of people are suffering from depression, some of whom are not even aware of the illness. And 10 to 15 percent of people suffering from depression will be likely to commit suicide.Statists（统计学家）also show suicide is the leading cause of death among young adults. It leads to 3.6 percent of all deaths each year in China, a survey said. Last year, 287000 Chinese died after committing suicide. The female rate is 25 percent higher than the male rate. For this reason, the media must let people know the negative（负面的）influence of Zhangs tragedy in its reporting. It is shameful to talk too much about his death. Although his achievements in arts were great, his final choice cannot be praised, let alone calling his death a “perfect end” to a shining life.The media should guide people especially Zhangs fansto shake off their sorrow quickly, learn a lesson from their idols tragedy, find a release from the pressure of their lives and value their priceless lives.65Why on earth did Zhang choose to kill himself in such a way?ABecause he was not as popular as he was before. BBecause he was disappointed at his life.CBecause he suffered from high pressure from his fans. DBecause he dropped out of the hotel accidentally.66What does the word “blockbuster” in the second paragraph probably mean?Amost popular.Bvery interesting. Cordinary.Dboring.67Whats the best title of the passage?AThe End of a Famous Star. BDepression Causes Deaths. CHow to Face Suicide. DA Perfect End of Life.DTradition says that at the beginning of the sixth century one of the tribes(部落) in Ireland was called Celt.

When she grew up, lots of knights(爵士) and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southern tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon in love with each other. At last they decided to get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained the honored guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After drinking the wine, the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too much wine for them to drink up. They were intoxicated (沉醉)with the sweet honey wine.

It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D. C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor (祖先) to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his pos
