More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas,most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries,which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics,and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States,Europe,Japan and Southeast Asian countries.There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum,most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back.In some cases,private collectors donated the relics to the government.Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003,a priceless bronze pig’s head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures,limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years,the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas.It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information.It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter,and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.

A.How to recover cultural relics.
B.The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.

2.Most of lost Chinese cultural relics ________.
A.have been recovered by the Chinese government
B.were bought for little money by foreigners
C.are owned by private collectors

3.Which of the following statements about the bronze pig’s head is NOT true?

C.It was donated by the French government to China.
D.It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away.That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司) of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits,particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States,with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year.But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do.There are fewer heart disease deaths,for example,among the Eskimos of Greenland,who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day,and among the Japanese,whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years,the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men,20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study,average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day,with more men eating lean_fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades,78 of the men died from heart disease.The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish,even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos.This_relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age,high blood pressure,or blood cholesterol levels.
60.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.
B.People who regularly eat fish never suffer from heart disease.
C.Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.
D.There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.
61.The passage is mainly about________.
A.the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B.the effect of fish eating on people’s health
C.the changes in people’s diet
D.the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
62.We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths________.
A.in Dutch
B.in America
C.in the countries with high consumption of fish
D.in the countries with good production of fish
63.The underlined phrase “This relationship” in Paragraph 6 refers to the connection between________and the level of heart disease.
A.the amount of fish eaten
B.regular fish eating
C.the kind of fish eaten
D.people of different areas
C
Dear Lan Lan,
I’m now writing to you at Hartsop,a village in the Lake District,a place to have most beautiful scenery in English.I come here to spend Christmas with an English couple.This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families.
We came two days before Christmas and during our stay,we have had everything we expected.Christmas turkey,Christmas cake,Christmas puddings,Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree.All are exciting and amusing,but above all these,we are deeply touched by the hospitality(好客)of the family,Roger and Anne Marie.
Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days,she had been busy cooking meals,washing dishes and showing us around.Roger,who was a doctor,knows a lot about China and still wants to know more.He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do.In the evenings,we all sit around the fireplace with Tim,a lovely dog,by our side.Like long-time-no-see friends,we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives.There is always so much to tell and to know.
After three months away from home,we are again feeling how sweet a home can be.Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country.They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling,instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling.They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures,one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.
How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here,the more I miss my real home and all of you.We always talk about “when we go back home next year...” and soon we will turn this into “when we go back home THIS year...” for the New Year’s Day is coming.Miss you.
Love,
Cao Wen
64.The writer is________now in England.
A.a Chinese visitor to an English family
B.a Chinese student studying
C.a Chinese teacher working
D.a Chinese student living
65.In Hartsop,Cao Wen felt________.
A.rather at home
B.the English home better than her home
C.she was a foreigner in a foreign country
D.she was one member of the family
66.It seems that Roger________.
A.can speak Chinese very well
B.knows something about Chinese for a long time
C.once lived in China for a long time
D.can do everything better than the Chinese
67.When you are away from home,it is good for you to have the feeling________.
A.of being alone
B.of going home soon
C.of love and being loved
D.as a foreigner
D
During the Middle Ages,kings and noblemen built castles for defense.The lord and his family and their servants lived in the castle.The lord owned the land around the castle,and it was farmed by peasants.In return,the peasants had small plots of land.The peasants didn’t get paid,but they raised their own food on their plots of land.The lord also protected the peasants from danger.
Carpenters made the first castles out of wood,but that didn’t work well.Stone made better,stronger castles,but it was much more expensive.Brave workers had to use high scaffolding(脚手架) to build those walls.Sometimes,the walls were 115 feet tall!
Castles changed over many years.Later castles had double walls that were called curtain walls.If the castle was attacked,the attackers had to break through two walls.Usually,the inner wall was higher than the outer one.During an attack,the drawbridge into the castle was raised.The walls had long narrow openings in them so that soldiers could fire arrows through the holes safely.
A large castle took many years to build.A whole army of builders carried out the project under the direction of a master worker.Workers cut and shaped the huge stones.They used mallets(木槌) and chisels(凿子) so the stones fit together well,and they used mortar(灰泥) to stick the stones together.The walls were built with a double row of stone bricks.The workers packed these walls with rubble(粗石),which the peasants helped dig and carry.
68.According to the passage,which of the following can peasants get from the lord by farming his land?
A.Money. B.Houses.
C.Safety. D.Food.
69.Why didn’t the carpenters use the stone to make the first castles?
A.Because the stone was too heavy to carry.
B.Because the price was too high.
C.Because it was difficult to find the proper stone.
D.Because they didn’t know the skills.
70.The following can make a castle difficult to break through EXCEPT________.
A.the drawbridge into the castle
B.openings in the walls
C.the higher inner wall
D.high scaffolding

参考范文
Fast food is very popular with people in China,especially the young.The reasons for its popularity are as follows.
Firstly,with the quick pace of life,fast food is really convenient and time-saving.People can save a lot of time and trouble with food ready made so that they can devote themselves to taking part in other activities.Secondly,the prices for fast food are reasonable and the service is excellent.However,it is not a good food in terms of nutrition,because the nutrition in it is not well balanced.
In my opinion,people can have fast food when they are really in a hurry.If not,they had better have the traditional food.Only in this way can they keep healthy.
