II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you heard thunder or watched a television programme? Adults seldom ___51___ events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four ___52____ retain(记住) any specific, personal experiences.

Section B
(A)
People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone （石灰岩） cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.
What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? ____________.
The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.
The experts’ lack of knowledge.
The rising of the sea level.
The washing-away of limestone cliffs.
67. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ___________________.
A. will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B. has now become a threat to the local residents
C. is quickly changing the map of England
D. can be stopped if proper measures are taken
68. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can _____________________.
A. lead to its eventual solution
B. provide an effective way to slow it down
C. help to prevent it from worsening
D. warn people whose homes are in danger
69.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because _____________.
A. it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areas
B. the government is too slow in taking action
C. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents
D. house agents along the coast do not support the idea

V. Guided Writing.
Society is ever advancing, and so is language. Whenever something new appears, people will have to give it a name. So, changes of social life always give birth to new vocabulary. In the past ten or twenty years alone, many new words have been coined to express the new phenomena in economy, technology,etc. Like Internet,moneybag and b log, to name only a few.
As we have noticed, some new vocabulary has come into common use,since they are very close to everyday life and widely spread. These new words will perhaps stay on. However, some of them will fall into disuse soon enough, because they're known to a limited group of people.
So, social life or changes is the basis where language develops and language must always serve as a mirror to social life. And it is this function that gives life to language.
