Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 42 night.“Whos it?” he wondered, since Tom had no 43 in the new city. And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed. 44 ,he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 45 ? Im your neighbor.” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently. “What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down 46 the neighbor came to 47 things.” After a while, the door was knocked 48 . He opened it and found the same girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She 49 me here to give you these.” Tom was very 50 by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your _51 .

Then it is because you do not understand it. Your cat is always trying to communicate to you through its gestures and body language. So to know your cat more, you need to know more about the cats body language. The tail is the most important part of your cats body; it often shows its mood and intention. If your cat is sweeping its tail in broad gestures, then it means annoyance or impatience at your extreme petting(抚摸). If you continue to hug the cat might give you a “bat” with its paws. A rapid sweeping of tail back and forth, right from the center shows an extreme anxiety in your cat. If you find your cat turning its body fully sideways and extending its tail upwards, then be sure that your cat is giving a sign of a conflict with the fellow cats. Often you will find your cat lowering its tail between her legs, which show her complete obedience(顺从的). A raised tail also indicates that your cat wants to be friendly. Along with the tail, the cats body gestures speak volumes about its mood and behavior. While bent legs is a sign of defending itself, outstretched legs will show self-confidence and self-assurance. If the cats ears are back and the body low, it will show its shame or regret; raised ears will show interest in the happenings around it. If you find your cat with the head completely lowered then it will show that it is boredom and disappointed.60.Your cat is impatient with your petting when it is _ A. raising its tail B. lowering its tail between her legs C. sweeping its tail in broad gestures D. extending its tail upwards 61.The underlined word “bat” refers to _.

What does the third paragraph tell us? A. Importance of tail movement. B. Movement of other body parts. C. Movement of ears. D. Movement of legs. CIn the year 2000, the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion (十亿). Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply. Who is going to feed all those people? Where is the food going to come from? Are we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial(人造的) food?One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why? Because it takes 4 kilos(公斤) of grain protein(蛋白质) to produce half a kilo of meat protein. Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people. Therefore, it will also necesssary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many peoples food today. A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean (大豆).The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scientists can now make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cows milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for years! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, soybean milk, and sometimes just soybeans. Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables.64.What is the main idea of the passage? A. A solution to mans food problem. B. A solution to the population problem. C. Advantages of soybean. D. How to develop good eating habits.65.According to the passage, meat will completely disappear in the future because . A. people have to spend too much time energy to produce it B. too much grain protein is needed to produce it C. it contains too much fat and protein D. it is no good to the health66.In this passage, “artificial food” refers to food made from . A. milk B. grain C. protein D. soybeansDLONDON(Reuters)A French woman who had the worlds first partial（部分的） face transplant has spoken of her surprise at seeing her new appearance, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Saturday.The 38-year-old woman underwent（接受） the operation to give her a new nose, chin and mouth at a hospital in the northern French city of Amiens last month.“When I looked at my new face, I knew straight away that it was me,” the paper quoted the woman, who was disfigured（毁容） after her dog injured her badly, as saying. “It was simply amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face.”The woman, who is recovering in a hospital in Lyon, told the paper that the attack of the dog had left her so disfigured that she had been forced to wear a dental mask.People in the street would recoil from her in horror, she said, and even one of her own two daughters found her appearance unbearable. “Old people were the worst, they used to stop and stare at me all the time,” she said. “My elder daughter Lucie just didnt want to see meI had to wear a mask.
