A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered (覆盖) with a thick forest. As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no forest left, though there are still some small areas covered in trees. We call these woods.
Elephants, tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys(峡谷). They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals.
Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves(狼) and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon died in the same way.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except（除了）in the zoos. But there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most interesting animals of Hong Kong is the barking (吠叫) deer（鹿）. These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch (斑) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy(敌人)--men. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (非法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important for people to protect（保护）wild animals.
61. There used to be a thick forest in Hong Kong a thousand years ago.
55. The forest disappeared because the weather got worse and worse.
56. A lot of wild animals died in Hong Kong after people came to live there.
57. In Hong Kong, you can only see about 36 different animals in the zoos.

(C) Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:
Michael Dell is the chief executive officer(首席执行官) of Dell Computer company, which he founded when he was nineteen.
When Dell was growing up, he was interested in science math and computers. He loved finding out how things worked. At fifteen, Dell bought himself a computer and took it apart(分离). Those were the days when one could take the top off and, with the help of books, figure out what each of the parts did. (Today, if you unplugged a computer and took off the top, you’d see a big black chip in there, and you’d have no idea what it does!) Playing with that computer taught him that one can learn almost everything by doing.
His early curiosity about computers helped lead him to the job he has today, which he loves. So whenever he sees kids becoming passionate about an interest or pursuit（追求）, He tries to encourage (鼓励)them. Maybe the curiosity(好奇心) will lead a kid to a job he or she loves, too.
It’s good to be curious. In Dell’s opinion, it’s good to look for opportunities (机会) and to try new ways of doing things. At one of his first jobs, He learned this lesson through experience. When he was sixteen, he got a job with the Houston Post, selling newspaper subscriptions (订阅) over the telephone.
During the first few weeks, Dell figured out that most people who wanted to buy the newspaper were either moving or getting married. So he thought, “Well, how can I get the names of all these people who are moving or getting married ” He did some research and found out that a lot of that information is legally available to anyone. Once he learned how to get those names and addresses, he sent out offers to buy the newspaper. His experiment was a success! Within his first month on the job, he became the top salesperson.
It was simply a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something. Kids have fresh approaches (途径) to things, and they often come up with great new ideas. When you pursue your interests and follow your dreams, a lot can happen. You can do big things, and you shouldn’t be discouraged (使气馁) by people who tell you otherwise (不这样).
66. How old was Dell when he founded the computer company
Dell founded the computer company ______________________.
67. Why did Dell buy the computer and took it apart when he was young
Because he wanted to ________________________.
68. Why does Dell encourage kids to have curiosity
Because the curiosity will____________________________.
69. What job did Dell get when he was sixteen
The job was ____________________________.
70. How did he become the top salesperson within his first month on the job
He sent out ___________________ according to the names and addresses he had got.
71. If somebody doesn’t believe you can do something, what should you do
I _____________________________________.

Dictionaries are very useful. Some people did most of the important 79 work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 80 words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey.
The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary. The 81 for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor (编辑) of its new dictionary.
Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 82 he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house built in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and 83 in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was 84 adding words for the letter “A” ! He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.
72. A) easy B) boring C) early D) dangerous
73. A) spell B) invent C) collect D) make
74. A) use B) idea C) survey D) way
75. A) So B) Later C) After D) Since
76. A) worked B) read C) wrote D) thought
77. A) already B) always C) usually D) still
(E)Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）：
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is n 78 for good health. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it p 79 for your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body r 80 little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts (变换) back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Though your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs m 81 more quickly (though your eyes are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have t 82 falling asleep, some people suggesting breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help you go to sleep. There is also an old suggestion that c 83 sheep will put you to sleep.
