The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. People were puzzled who was the real firebug (纵火犯).One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro(黑人) had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, there were fires breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.Mauson, a physics teacher, didnt believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, and decided to find out who the real firebug was. One day, he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He dashed out of the pub to his friends house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to prove his idea.The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen to e to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time, the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room. “Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldnt believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.56.The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out _.A. on Sundays B. on summer afternoons C. at any time D. on winter mornings57. Why did the police arrest all the Negroes?A. Because one of them had been seen to set on a fire.B. Because they were suspected to be the firebugs.C. Because the police hated the Negroes.D.

Mauson made friends with the Negroes BI began to grow up when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house that winter night, and my mother said that we would soon leave for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I cried because I could not bear the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again. I also had to say goodbye to my dear friends and relatives. I thought about the new country I was going to seethe strange place I had known only from books and pictures. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not e to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really losthaving to study in three schools because of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more plex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with pany representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all mon troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.61.

Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. 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 e 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 ing out at night. He hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He es 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 bee lovely pets.66. The underlined word “succeeded” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.

Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when ing down from there C. it is built around several treesD. there are many animals that can be trained and bee lovely pets70.

In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is the most mon type and the climber need to climb with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing. In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope. The third type is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all climbing types. The climber must be able to plete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.71. What does the author think of rock climbing?A. It is an easy sport. B. It is challenging. C. It is quite dangerous. D. It is extremely difficult.72.
