I decided to 40 the paper and gently throw it towards their door. 41 my aim was way off and instead of landing on the doorstep the paper flew in the 42 direction and landed on the roof of a truck in the driveway. No one saw it but me and I burst out 43 before I realized what I had done had made the problem 44. I took a look at my watch and found it was near 5 am.

When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she came down from there, “She succeeded him as the queen of the country”. The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger. The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever “railway service” has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table. There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see: -Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests. -Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight. -A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws（爪）can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.56. The underlined word “succeeded” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”. A. did what she was trying to do B. gained her purpose C. replaced someone in an important positionD. completed an easy task 57. According to the text, “railway service” actually refers to _.

It can catch any other animal in the forest.59. According to the text, Treetops is famous in the world because _. A. it shows the pleasure of America B. Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from there C. it is built around several treesD. there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets60. We can learn from the text that the guestsA. should not play games on the Treetops B. could not sit on the corridor at nightC. could enjoy their dinner in the dining room D. should keep off the cat-like animals BIt was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. Im sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.” “No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then hell take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Dont forget it when you prepare supper for him.” The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isnt useful at all.” “No, no,” said the woman. “I dont think so. He must forget something.” “Oh, Ive remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot” 61.

If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”66. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN. C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.67. Whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph? A. To let readers know why his ideas are new. B. To let readers know how special his house is. C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console. D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.68. The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _. A. it has been controlled by computers B. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. it has your favorite music following you D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice 69. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.70. What cant be done in the writers new house? A. turns on the lightsB. play music C. get a telephone callD. go swimmingDEating foods high in trans-fats (fats present in artificial form in industrially-produced cakes and fast food.) and saturated (饱和的) fats increases the risk of depression, according to a Spanish study, confirming previous studies that linked “junk food” with the disease. Researchers also showed that some products, such as olive oil, can fight against the risk of mental illness.Authors of the wide-reaching study, from the universities of Navarra and Las Palmas, followed and analyzed the diet and lifestyle of over l2,000 volunteers over six years. When the study began, none of the participants had been diagnosed with depression; by the end, 657 of them were new sufferers.“Participants with an increased consumption of trans-fats presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these fats,” the head study author said. “The more trans-fats were consumed, the greater harmful effect they produced in the volunteers.”The research team found, at the same time, that after assessing the effect of polyunsaturated fats made up of larger amounts of fish and vegetable oils and olive oil, these products are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression.The report, published in the online journal PLOS ONE, noted the research was performed on a European population that enjoys a relatively low intake of trans-fatsmaking up only 0.4 percent of the total energy taken in by the volunteers. “Despite this, we observed an increase in the risk of suffering depression of nearly 50 percent,” said researcher Miguel Martinez. “On this basis we think it of great importance to take this effect into account in countries like the United States, where the percentage of energy derived from these fats is around 2.5 percent.” The report pointed out that the current number of depression sufferers in the world is around l50 million people, and has increased in recent years. This rise is attributable, according to the authors, “to great changes in the sources of fats consumed in Western diets, where we have replaced certain types of beneficial fats in nuts, vegetable oils and fish with the saturated and trans-fats found in meats, butter and other products such as mass-produced cakes and fast food.”7l. Whats the best title of the text?A. Junk Food and Depression B. Depression PreventionC. Types of Fats and Depression D. Depression Research72. Which of the following increases the risk of suffering depression?A. Fish. B. Vegetable oil. C. Olive oil. D. Butter.73. The study tells us that .A. 2.5% Americans suffer mental illnessB. l2,000 volunteers in Navarra took partC. a minority of participants became new sufferersD. l50 million Europeans enjoy a healthier lifestyle74. The underlined word “derived” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .A. obtained B. chosen C. separated D. preserved75. More and more Westerners are suffering depression because .A. they have less time for exerciseB. they eat more nuts, vegetable oils and fishC. the sources of fats in their diets have changedD. less meat, butter, and cakes are included in their diets第卷（非选择题，共25分）第五部分 阅读表达（每小题3分，共15分，请将答案写在答题纸上）阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求进行答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）1Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. Its wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.2To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn _butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke（蛙泳）, and crawl（自由泳）. I feel that one of thesethe breaststrokeis different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.3In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble. Dont go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. Dont smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body;
