    Well, I said some things that I definitely (绝对)  30  have,  and I even made him leave. I clearly remember walking home  31  that day holding the broken pieces of my pole in each hand, feeling more  32  about what had happened to me.

 A

THIS sign was found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won't run into the street. So, they hired a company to set up an "invisible fence" an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the "fence", the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog "safe" (away from the street) and "at home" (contained inside the yard).

The small word "BRAND" printed in blue means that "Invisible Fence" is registered as the company's brand name. Similarly, the "TM" printed after "your dog safe at home" stands for "trade mark", a slogan registered specifically to one company.

41. The people set up an "invisible fence" _______.

A. to let their dog play outside their house

B. to keep their dog away from the edge of the yard

C. to keep their dog inside their yard

D. to warn others not to enter their house

42. Which of the following is NOT true about the "invisible fence"?

A. The fence does not exist at all.

B. The "invisible Fence" is a brand name of a company.

C. Without the special collar, the fence won't work on the dog.

D. Science and technology play an important part in it.

43. The purpose of the passage is to ______.

A. introduce a new product for your dog

B. expand your knowledge of foreign culture

C. give a detailed explanation of the "invisible fence"

D. help you understand the sign in the picture

44. What can you infer from the passage?

A. Dogs have become more and more clever.

B. Companies place much value on trade marks nowadays.

C. The sign is actually an advertisement of a certain company.

D. The more advanced technology is, the less free dogs become.

                            B

Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other way by signals.

   Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant “man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time of the day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.

   Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a horse. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

   To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his horse in a large circle. Sometimes the Indians gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.

   The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to wave the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

   He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he tried to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

   An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he removed the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

   Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's languages. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.

45. Which of the following is true?

   A. Indians sent signals with dry wood fires at night.

   B. When Indians wanted to say "sun", he pointed to the sky.

   C. Indians used sign language to find out whether a stranger was a friend or an enemy.

   D. When an Indian meant there was danger, he drew a big circle on the ground.

46. An Indian used a mirror to ____.

   A. draw the attention of someone in the distance

   B. send their messages in code

   C. warn someone of danger

   D. all of the above

47. The main idea of this passage is ____.

   A. talking by such means as signals and signs

   B. using signals to send messages to people far away

   C. sending secret codes in the form of signs and signals

   D. speaking in a certain language without having to make

                           C

Tragedy at the Circus

In yesterday’s circus show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.
    However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers.
   It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.
*******************************
Circus Safe for Animals
   Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion exprssed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”
   First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals can―and should―live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.
   This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.
48. What is the main purpose of the first passage?
      A. To show pity for the performing animals. 

B. To express worries about animal trainers' safety. 

C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.

D. To call for action to protect circus animals.
49.   What will the circus most probably do?
   A. Take no notice of the tragedy.
   B. Continue its performances.
   C. Use fewer wild animals.
   D. Limit its profit.
50. What does the circus think of its performing animals?
   A. They are as clever as human beings.
   B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.
   C. They are helpful in saving their species.
   D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.
51. What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?
   A. A public request and a newspaper report.
　 B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.
   C. Two parts of a newspaper article.
   D. Two newspaper reports.
                               D

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
   The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
   Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
   Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
   These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.
52. The best title for the passage would be _____.                
   A. Development of the National Flag          B. Power of the National Flag
      C. Types of Flags                           D. Uses of Flags
53. The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 means _____.                
   A. impossible to make sure of    B. likely to be protected
     C. easy to damage                D. difficult to find
54. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because _____.               
   A. they could tell wind direction
   B. they could bring good luck to fighters
   C. they were handed down by the ancestors
   D. they were believed to stand for natural forces
55. What does the author know of the first national flag?
   A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.
   B. He believes it was made in Egypt.
   C. He thinks it came from China.
   D. He doubts where it started.
56. What will the author most probably talk about next?
   A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.
   B. The second ancestor of the national flag.
   C. The use of modern flags in Europe.
   D. The importance of modern flags.

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.

　 The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered without-grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see dearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snowblindness.

　 Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

57. To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not ________.

　　A. depends on whether the snow is white enough

　　B. makes no difference

　　C. makes much difference

　　D. depends on whether the snow is thick

58. When the eyes are tired, tears flow out ________.

　　A. to clear the vision

　　B. to make the eyes stop searching

　　C. to make the vision unclear

　　D. to produce more and more liquid

59. Snowblindness can be avoided ________.

　　A. by moving one’s gaze back and forth

　　B. by walking ahead and keeping looking around

　　C. by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes

　　D. by providing the eyes with something to focus on

60. What is the probable meaning of the underlined part “Their gaze is arrested”（in paragraph 3 ）?

　　A. They get something to look at.      B. They can only look at one spot.

　　C. Their eyes are clear.               D. They can’t see freely.

One Possible version:

 A recent survey in our school shows that more and more students have become near-sighted. The survey says that 45.2 percent of senior students are near-sighted. It also says that 35% of Junior Three students are near-sighted, but it was only 23% when they were in Junior One.

I think the main causes are as follows. First, we have to do many lessons, especially in Junior Three and Senior Three. Second, some of us spend too much time in front of the computer. Further more, some students often read lying in bed or in dim light.

　We must form good reading habits, spend less time in front of the computer, and arrange time for our lessons scientifically. In a word, we must let our eyes have a rest during work from time to time.
