Thanks, Mr. Miller.” Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me. With a smile, she said, “There are two other 41 like him in our community. Jim often bar-gains with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they 42 with their red marbles, he 43 he doesnt like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green or orange marble, per-haps.”Several years went by. Just recently I happened to 44 that Mr. Miller had died. I went to the mortuary (太平间) to offer his relatives words of comfort. Three young men walked 45 up to Mrs. Miller.

When I told Mrs. Miller who I was and 50 the story about the marbles, she said, “Those three young men were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they 51 the things Jim “traded” them. Now, they came to pay their 52 .

While families with large gardens may traditionally have brought in a sheep to eat growing grass, gardeners who are fond of wallabies say that the animal is prettier, friendlier and more lovely.A pair of wallabies may not be cheap males cost 150 and females around 650, in addition to food and bedding costs but demand is rising. Waveney Wildlife, Britains biggest private supplier, reports a doubling in wallaby orders in five years, driven by growing interest from gardeners. Trevor Lay, who runs the centre in Suffolk, a county on the east coast of southeast England, told The Times that he now sells 35 a year and could find homes for three times as many. “Its crazy. To be honest, if I had 100 I could easily get rid of them,” he said. Quintin Spratt, a breeder (家畜繁殖家) from near Diss in Norfolk, also told the newspaper that he had received a great many calls from would-be owners asking for information about wallabies.Anyone looking to keep a wallaby should have enough land for them to walk around half an acre and fences (栅栏) at least 5 ft high to make sure they cannot jump for freedom.While seeing a wallaby running across the garden may stop strangers from entering, they cannot be relied upon as house guards. “Theyd run a mile from a thief or stranger,” Mr Lay told the newspaper. “They are shy creatures and really harmless, but adults will complain if their young are threatened. And wallabies dont like dogs.” 56. We can learn from the text that wallabies _.A. feed on plants B. are cheaper than sheepC. are ugly-looking animalsD. are seldom seen in Australia57. According to Trevor Lay, _.A. his business is going wellB. its easy to raise wallabiesC. hes crazy about wallabiesD. he mainly receives large orders 58. It can be inferred from the text that wallabies _.A. are not afraid of strangers B. look like dogsC. are popular with young children D. can jump high59. What is the text mainly about?A. Wallabies are expensive in England.B. Wallabies are being used to keep houses safe.C. Families are having difficulty cleaning their gar-dens.D. Gardeners are buying wallabies to keep their grass neat.B From the earliest times, the English, for instance, have believed in certain symbols and customs which could bring good fortune. Some of these customs are still practiced daily in todays society.HorseshoeA horseshoe is considered a lucky symbol in English custom. It is similar to the other symbols associated with good fortune in other cultures such as the crescent (新月形) or “U” shape. The crescent or “U” shape is often said to be a symbol of fertility (肥沃) and also possesses the power to keep bad spirits away. As it is made of iron for horses, the horseshoe is also linked to strength and power. It is usually fixed to the front door to protect the household from uninvited visitors.Rabbits footIn the old days, it was said that Queen Boadicea of Norfolk, East Britain, brought a hare (野兔) with her to get luck in the battle against the Roman Empire which had invaded her kingdom. This has brought people to believe that a hare had great power. Many Britons carried a hares foot in their pocket or purse. Later, rabbits were introduced to Britain from the other European countries and as rabbits were easier to get than hares, a rabbits foot replaced a hares foot as a lucky symbol.CoinCoins, especially gold coins, were said to bring good fortune to the person who possessed them. Gold, like in any other culture, is always a symbol of wealth. Sometimes, brides put gold coins in a shoe to make sure of good marriage. The English, for instance, dropped coins into wells to make a wish in hope that their dreams would come true. This is due to the fact that, people in earlier times believed that there were good spirits who lived in the wells or springs.WoodBack in pagan (异教徒的) times, touching the tree was a sign of respect to the gods. Even today, some people will try to touch or knock on wood after saying bad things about other people. People believe that the act will drive away any bad luck during the day.60. To wish for good luck, people will carry _.A. rabbits feet B. coins C. wood D. horseshoes61. If you hope to win first place in the coming speech contest, you can _.A. keep a rabbit at home B. throw a coin into a wellC. knock on wood frequentlyD. fix a horseshoe on your front door62. It can be learned from the text that _.A. its quite easy to get a hares footB. newly married couples are advised not to keep coins C. horseshoes are used to keep away visitors who are not welcomeD. knocking on wood to drive away bad luck is seldom practiced nowC Unconventional in every way, Edward Estlin Cummings made striking use of grammar. His arts were poetry, painting, and drama, and in all of them he was an experimenter. The poetry for which he is best remembered was marked by strange combinations of words and expressions and produced in very strange print. The unusual techniques that Cummings used served to present his ideas more forcefully and effectively than would have been the case with more ordinary styles.Cummings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Oct. 14, 1894. He graduated from Harvard College in 1915 and received a masters degree in 1916. During World War I he served as an ambulance driver in France. He spent six months in prison because of his friendship with another American who had supposedly criticized the countries that fought against Germany in the First World War. This experience increased his distrust of all officialdom (官场), a distrust that showed itself in many of his later poems as well as in his first book, “The Enormous Room”, published in 1922.Between the two world wars Cummings divided his time between Paris and New York City. His first book of poetry was “Tulips and Chimneys” (1923). The poems in the book were collected in “Complete Poems” (1968). The strangeness of his style was criticized by some, but others found it meaningful.Among Cummings plays were “Him”, first performed in 1927, and “Tom” (1935), a work based on “Uncle Toms Cabin”. An experimental prose (散文) book, “Eimi” (1933), recorded a 36-day visit to the Soviet Union.Cummings died at his home in North Conway, N.H., on Sept. 3, 1962. He was the second most widely read poet in the United States, after Robert Frost. He was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts.63. The text is mainly about Edward Estlin Cummings _.A. life and works B. great artistic abilitiesC. creative ideas D. influence on American literature64. Cummings was chiefly famous as _.A. a novelist B. an artistC. a poet D. a playwright 65. What does the underlined part “This experience” refer to?A. Cummings served as a driver in France. B. Cummings spent half a year in prison. C. Cummings made friends with an enemy. D. Cummings criticized the countries fighting against Germany. 66. What do we know about Cummings from the text? A. His writing style was unique. B. He wrote three plays during his life. C. He published his first book of poetry in 1922.D. His poems were seldom read in the United States. D Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th centurys most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除), Bill Gates declared polio (小儿麻痹症) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the job. India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (传播) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and else-where is lack of money. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to in-crease its $200 million annual contribution (每年的捐款) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistans President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistans eradication plan.Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who dont vaccinate (给某人接种疫苗) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus.“If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Polio: An American Story. “Weve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organizations eradication program.In 1988, when the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication program, the disease killed 350,000 children a year worldwide. By last year, the total dropped to fewer than 1,500 world-wide, Aylward says.If Gates provides the final push for polio eradication, he may be remembered as much for helping pre-vent polio as for founding Microsoft,Oshinsky says. “As long as theres polio anywhere, people everywhere are at risk,” Aylward says. “Were still not out of the woods.”67. According to the text, the success of the Global Polio Eradication program mainly depends on _.A. the World Health Organizations policy B. the development of a new vaccine C. the local governments supportD. the collection of funds68. What do we know about polio according to the text?A. People in Nigeria dont take it seriously.B. Its now the most serious childhood disease.C. Great progress has been made in preventing it.D. There are few organizations helping to prevent it.69. According to Oshinsky, _.A. Gates should devote more time to MicrosoftB. polio eradication is a very important causeC. vaccine side-effects should not be ignoredD. polio has been brought under control70. The underlined part “Were still not out of the woods” means “_”.A. We get lost in the woods B. Were not free from trouble C. We have no idea where to goD. Were unable to eradicate polio第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Finding your dream job can be difficult.
