It is used to describe something that hasnt got much chance of happening. However, the mon saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning.Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊尔).Lightning strikes are the second most mon cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning, said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place, Lopes said.Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.Do not stand under a tree.Get off bicycles or motorcycles.Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.56.The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that _.A. theres a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disasterB. it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters C. the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small D. it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening57.The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _. A.18%B.50%C. 30%D. 73%58.Among all the safety tips, the most important one is that when you hear thunder in the open air_.A. just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles B. quickly find a place to go inside C. count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightening D. dont have a hair drier in your hand59. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightening in US each year.B. There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day.C. The death rate of being stuck by lightening is much higher than by other natural disasters.D. The National Lightening Safety Week is made to warn the public against the lightening. 【B】Detectives often look for footprints when they try to solve crimes. Scientists use footprints, toodinosaur footprints when they try to figure out how dinosaurs lived and moved.Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. Today scientists work to solve the mysteries of these ancient animals.Footprints, or tracks(脚印), are an important way to learn about dinosaurs. Christian Meyer of the Natural History Museum in Basel, Switzerland, calls dinosaur tracks “the closest thing to a movie” of dinosaurs. “They tell us something about the size of the animal, the way they were walkingthey tell us something about their speed,” Meyer said.Tracks also show that dinosaurs sometimes traveled in groups. Traveling in groups probably helped dinosaurs protect themselves from enemies. Plus, some meat-eating dinosaurs may have hunted in groups, much like wolves do today. Being in a group could help dinosaurs work together to kill large animals.Dinosaur footprints can be as small as a few inches across, but they can also be as big as a few feet across. Dinosaur footprints have been found throughout the world at over 1,500 sites, including a T. Rex footprint in New Mexico. “Trackways” are groups of footprints.And scientists arent the only ones finding dinosaur trackskids can, too! Eleven-year-old Mark Turner and nine-year-old Daniel Helm discovered dinosaur tracks in British Columbia, anada. Soon scientists began studying the tracks.Scientists and other people interested in studying dinosaurs are working to save the trackways from activities like construction and mining.60. The passage mainly tells us that_.A. there were really dinosaurs on the earth millions of years agoB. dinosaurs were the most frightening animals in the pastC. dinosaur footprints are important in learning about dinosaursC. why dinosaurs died out millions of years ago61. By studying footprints scientists can know the following EXCEPT _.A. how big the dinosaur was B. what color the dinosaur wasC. how fast the dinosaur could run D. how the dinosaur walked62. By working in groups, some meat-eating dinosaurs_. A. made the hunting of large animals easily B. could travel a long way without being lost C. could protect themselves from being hunted by wolves D. could get to a place faster63. From the last paragraph we can infer that some human activities like mining_. A. are helpful to the study of dinosaurs B. can help scientists solve many mysteries C. can lead to the discovery of the footprints D. can destroy the footprints of the dinosaur【C】Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to e to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.64What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading. BTo improve your listening.CTo improve your spoken English. DTo improve your vocabulary.65It can be inferred from the third paragraph that_.Adont be fluency , Just be accuracyBdont be nervous ,dont be shy . Just write!Cdont be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!Ddont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!66The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_”.Amore hurry, less speed Bbetter late than neverCsilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect67The text is most probably taken from a_.Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazine【D】A serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly(老年人) and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a pany must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a mercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（养老金）. Furthermore, some in-situation should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a fortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options（选择）have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some bination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.68. What is the passage mainly about?A. The problems faced by the old in society.B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.C. How we can improve the lives of the old. D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.69. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.70. The underlined word “viable” most probably means “_”.A. impossible B. practical C. useful D. successful71. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Emp
