One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that countrys bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated(交配) it with the more easygoing native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientists name, had a total success on his hands.Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees. With their dangerous stings(叮), began to attack its neighbors cats,dogs,horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.This would have been enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and Notth America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.56.The results of the South American experiment _A. have caused a serious trouble B. have proved to be wrongC. are not yet certain D. are not important57.The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to _A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil B. make Brazilian bees more easy-goingC. increase the number of bees in Brazil D. make African bees less active58.Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees attacking personalities?A. Their production of honey B. Their hard workC. Their living environment D. Their bad temper59.The last paragraph implies that_A. the bees have been driven to Central and North AmericaB. the bees may bring about trouble in more countriesC. the bees must be stopped from moving northD. the bees prefer to live in Brazil.B A problem has been troubling me and I would like to share it with you. We seem to be living in a hugely difficult situation. And I dont know if there is a solution. I am not even sure that it is a “problem”, but here it is. Lets begin by looking at the world situation. We have argued that wars must be given up. But modern technologies have brought us to the point where weapons of mass destruction are being easier and cheaper to make . Now they are in the possession of a few large military powers. Before long, it is likely that other nations will also have the ability to develop and use these terrible weapons. If this happens, or when this happens, many nations have the ability to destroy other nations, and other nations probably will have time for retaliatory（报复性的）strikes. Under these conditions, there can be no winners, only losers. In spite of the terrible international situation, in our daily lives we place the highest value on winning. We are taught that “everybody loves a winner” and that “winning is everything”. Our sports teams are told that they must win. Our entertainment culture is based on winning. Contests are held to determine the winner. This bees a matter of local and national pride. We are taught to win. In America, and in other western nations, children and adults are taught that to be successful, they must win. Of course, when there are “winners”, there must also be “losers”. We are conditioned to be either winners or losers. When there are winners. There are losers. There is nothing in between. This is what we are taught. It is part of our western culture. Our western societies praise winning. They do not consider “impasse(平局)”as a choice . A tie game, for example, is said to be like kissing you sister. It pleases no one, In most of our sports games, we have additional periods of time in order to avoid a “tie game”. In football it is called “sudden death” . Even our language is full of words against tie games. We call such games “deadlocks(困局)” or “stalemates（僵局）”.60. What worries the author according to the passage?A. Trying to be winners. B. Developing terrible weaponsC. Destroying the world D. Retaliatory strikes.61.The author thinks the present world situation is _A. peaceful B. serious C. encouraging D. astonishing62. Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?A. There are only winners in our daily lives.B. Everyone must win in our daily lives.C. We are forced to win in our daily livesD. In our daily lives, winners are valued most.63. The underlined part “kissing your sister” probably has the same meaning as _A. interesting B. uninteresting C. exciting D. wrongCWe offer first aid training in the workplace as well as a wide-range of courses for the public.

And yes, its good to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people youll meet throughout your life. But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper. In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more fortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人). As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. Youre like a sponge(海绵),able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you put it together, Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not, But most kids are sensitive(敏感的)to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.68. In the passage , the author mainly talks about_A. how to get along well with teachers.B. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant69. “learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means_A. learning bees easier for you at once B. you find an opening to learningC. therell be more problems with learning D. therell be no problems with learning70. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it fortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.71.Which of the ments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldnt like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they dont like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.E The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive. Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter, I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meateating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in over-powering dangerous animals.
