He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and WHUMP! it hit the Jags shiny black side door! SCREECH.! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?! Building up a head of steam, he went on. Thats my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it? Please, mister, please.Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do! begged the youngster. I threw the brick because no one else would stop! tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car.

Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE a long and slow walk.

C About 1966 or so, a NASA(美国航空航天局) team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City. There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the lunar surface. Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits. Nearby a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人) and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers. The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people. Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were. The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon. The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate. His son would not. Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle (偷偷地笑) and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message, Watch out for these guys, they have come to take your land! 64. The appearance of the Navajo Reservation is very similar to that of _. A. the Tuba City B. the moon C. the NASA research center D. the Apollo moon mission 65. When the older Navajo heard that the men in front of him were going to the moon, he _. A. felt frightened and ran away quickly B. chatted excitedly with the NASA workers C. got on the modern trucks and large vehicles for fun D. tried to say something to the moon creatures 66. The son did not translate the words his father said because _. A. he had trouble in understanding his father B. the words his father used were too difficult to be translated C. his father was sending a warning against the NASA people D. he believed that the NASA workers could understand their language 67. According to this passage, we can know that the shepherd was _. A. patient and brave B. foolish and impolite C. humorous and intelligent D. knowledgeable and talkative D Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegals worst affected area. This is West Africas biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest. Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization warned. 68. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article _. A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds D. both A and B 69. The story is mainly about _. A. West Africas united effort in fighting a disaster B. the difficulty in controlling locusts C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa 70. The locust disaster _. A. would be even more serious in Asia B. is(was)out of control C. affected only the warning areas D. c
