A
Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a bad Spanish greyhound.
It is believed that 50,000 greyhounds are killed by their owners in Spain each year after they grow too old, or turn out to be too slow to hunt with.
Dogs have also been found thrown into wells, burnt alive and even injected with poison.
But Rey's intended fate was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel. The rope around his neck had been set at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support himself. When his legs finally became too tired to move, the rope should have done its work.
“They call it the typewriting death, because the dog's back legs struggled against the ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter,” said Albert Sorde, of the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group. “It is a punishment they save for greyhounds that are thought to have made their owners lose face.”
“Rey's throat was severely damaged but we managed to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived,” he said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares (野兔). “The dogs are meant to imitate the swerves (转向) of the hares,” said Sorde. “Those who don't, and make their owners look bad, are called "dirty greyhounds" and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter method.”
56. _______ is one of the methods used to kill dogs.
A. Kicking B. Burying C. Shooting D. Drowning
57. The underlined word “vet” in Paragraph 6 means “_____”.
A. equipment B. ambulance C. animal medicine D. animal doctor
58. What can you infer from the passage?
A. The typewriting death is the cruelest of all as it is a slow death.
B. Rey is one of the fifty thousand greyhounds killed so far in Spain.
C. Rey was punished because he had not been loyal to his owner.
D. It is the Spanish hunters not greyhounds that should be punished.
59. The passage mainly tells the readers about ________.
A. the typewriting death of dogs
B. the cruel killing of dogs in Spain
C. how Spanish dogs hunt hares
D. how Rey was saved by rescuers
B
It’s difficult to get the young to listen to anything you say these days. They have shut themselves off from the world with earplugs attached to their personal stereos such as MP3 players. And with more than three million iPods and MP3 players sold in Britain every year, it’s not just the young who have been in the personal stereo habit. But at what risk to our hearing?
When MP3 players and iPods are turned to full volume, the sound can reach 104 dB (分贝), the maximum allowed by EU safety standards but almost as loud as a pneumatic drill (气钻) (110dB).
The advice from scientists is to turn down the volume and limit use of such machines to an hour a day; the producers also recommend taking regular breaks to give the ears a rest. Yet research by the Royal National Institute for the Deaf (RNID) showed that 39 per cent of the young don’t practise safe listening. The worry is that they could be creating problems later in life.
People with good hearing have tiny hair cells that line the inner ear and transmit signals to the brain, which it interprets as sound. When repeatedly exposed to uncomfortably loud noises (loud is defined as above 80dB), including music through headphones and at concerts, those hair cells require a rush of blood or oxygen, otherwise “they effectively die”. Temporary hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a sign that hair cells are trying to recover, but over time recovery becomes impossible.
At UK cinemas, sound levels of 110dB have been recorded. Music played in nightclubs is so loud as to be comparable, in some cases, to standing two feet away from an aeroplane as it takes off (110dB). The level at which pain starts to happen for sound is 140dB.
60. When you use MP3 player, you should do the following except ________.
A. turn it to full volume B. take regular breaks
C. use it less than an hour a day D. turn down the volume
61. Which of the following is true?
A. MP3 and iPods players are always harmful to hearing.
B. 3 million young people use MP3 players in Britain.
C. Most young British people are suffering hearing loss.
D. Over half of the British young people practise safe listening.
62. The highest safe sound shouldn’t be louder than_________.
A. 80dB B. 140dB C. 104dB D. 110dB
63. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A warning that falls on deaf ears B. MP3 players—hearing killers
C. The causes of hearing loss D. Hair cells suffering from loud noises
C
NEW YORK - Gordon Parks, who captured
the struggles and triumphs of black America as a
photographer for Life and then became Hollywood’s
first major black director with “The Learning Tree”
and the hit “Shaft,” died Tuesday, his family said.
He was 93.
“Nothing came easy,” Parks wrote in his autobiography
(自传). “I was just born with a need to explore every
tool shop of my mind, and with long searching and
hard work. I became devoted to my restlessness.”
He covered everything from fashion to politics to sports during his 20 years at Life, from 1948 to 1968.
But as a photographer, he was perhaps best known for his gritty photo essays on the grinding effects of poverty in the United States and abroad and on the spirit of the civil rights movement.
Parks was born Nov. 30, 1912, in Fort Scott, the youngest of 15 children. In his 1990 autobiography, “Voices in the Mirror,” he remembered it as a world of racism and poverty, but also a world where his parents gave their children love, discipline and religious faith.
He went through a series of jobs as a teen and young man, including piano player and railroad dining car waiter. The breakthrough came when he was about 25, when he bought a used camera in a pawn shop for $7.50. He became a freelance fashion photographer. A year later he went to Vogue magazine and then to Life in 1948.
“Reflecting now, I realize that, even within the limits of my childhood vision, I was on a search for pride, meanwhile taking measurable glimpses of how certain blacks, who were fed up with racism, rebelled against it,” he wrote.
When he accepted an award from Wichita State University in May 1991, he said it was “another step forward in my making peace with Kansas and Kansas making peace with me.”
64. How many jobs did Parks go through in his life?
A. 2. B. 3 C. 4. D. 5.
65. From the passage we can know Parks’ main contribution is ________ .
A. taking a lot of photos B. directing excellent films
C. his struggle for blacks’ civil rights D. writing fiction and music
66. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to _______.
A. Fort Scout B. autobiography C. his job D. his childhood
67. Which of the following is true?
A. Parks worked for Vogue magazine for about 10 years.
B. Life is an excellent film that Parks directed.
C. Parks was given an award for his autobiography.
D. Parks wanted to own a tool shop when young.

TOKYO(AP)-An express train traveling through strong winter winds derailed(出轨)in northern Japan,killing four people and injuring more than 30,officials said Monday.
Five cars of the six-car express train derailed Sunday evening,three of them toppling(倾倒)onto their sides in Yamagata prefecture(辖区),about 1 80 miles north of Tokyo,officials said.The train was going from northern Akita to Niigata prefecture.
The injuries of the survivors did not appear to be life-threatening,Yamagata police spokesman Yoshikatsu Oe said.It was unclear how many passengers were on the train,but Oe said most of the injured were in the first two cars.
The dead included two men and two women, and rescuers planned to lift the wreckage(残骸)later in the day to see if any other passengers remained beneath,officials said.
Transport Ministry official Hiromi Mishima said it was not known what caused the derailment and officials were assessing the extent(程度)of the damage.Railway operator JR East Co.President Mutsutake Otsuka apologized for the accident at a news conference Monday morning and promised a thorough investigation(调查).
Yamagata police official Yasuhiro Sugiu said there had been high.speed wind warnings for the area.According to a train conductor,a strong gust(阵风)hit the train just before the accident.Winds in the area were about 48 mph,Kyodo News agency reported.
Authorities said they did not know how fast the train was going.Speed was believed to be a factor in an.April 25 train wreck that killed 107 people and injured more than 500 others in Amagasaki,western Japan.That accident was Japan’s worst train wreck since 1963.
68. This report is about a train accident that happened ________ .

D. the train operator was a careless man
71. The underlined word“wreck”in the last paragraph most probably means“__________”.

Decreasing grain prices along with growing costs of production means Chinese farmers are unlikely to see a significant rise in income next year.
China’s economic planning chief Ma Kai expressed the concern as the government undertakes an ambitious program to improve rural people’s lives.
Grain prices have been dropping since April; and prices of wheat, corn and rice fell 5 per cent from August to October compared with the same period last year, Ma, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, told an annual meeting on development and reform held over the weekend.
Meanwhile, prices of production materials rose 9.1 per cent year on year during the first 10 months.
The situation makes it difficult to achieve a “new socialist countryside,” which was last week highlighted(引起注意)as a new concept and “common action” of the whole Party and nation.
Vice-Minister of Agriculture Yin Chengjie also said China’s entry to the World Trade Organization also creates hurdles for income rises for the country’s 780 million farmers.
Farmers’ income is expected to increase by 5 per cent this year, hitting the target set by the central government at the beginning of this year.
Last year, per capita net income(个人平均纯收入)of Chinese farmers reached 2,936 yuan (US$362), up 6.8 per cent year on year, and the highest increase since 1997.
Ma also said China would continue to seek fast, steady economic growth in 2006 but more efforts will be made to deal with the challenges brought about by overheating in some industrial sectors (区域).
(from China Daily, December 5, 2005 )
72.The writer thinks it difficult to achieve a “new socialist countryside” because _____.
A. “New socialist countryside” is a new concept
B. Grain prices decrease and production costs grow
C. Prices of production materials rose 9.1 percent
D. Many farmers have turned to industrial sectors
73. The underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 6 means _____ .
A. promotion B. difficulties C. fear D. possibility
74. From1997 to 2005, the highest increase in farmers’ income was achieved in _____.
A. 2002 B. 2003 C. 2004 D. 2005
75. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Grain prices in 2004 were a bit lower than those in 2005.
B. The development overheats in all industrial sectors.
C. A big income rise for farmers is unlikely in 2006.
D. China expected to increase farmers’ income by 6.8% in 2005.

Nowadays more and more people are sending their children overseas for further study, even at middle school age. 38% of the people investigated agreed to this. They think their children can receive better education and learn a foreign language as well. And they have more golden opportunities to develop themselves. What is the most valuable is to learn to depend on themselves and to broaden their horizons and improve their understanding of the world.
However, over 62% of the people, especially some educationists and parents, are not in favor of this, for they think studying abroad costs over ten times as much money as in China, besides, children are too young to take care of themselves. Many parents worry about the safety of their children. What’s more, they might follow bad examples.
In my opinion, measures should be taken by the government to set up various schools and colleges to meet the needs of the people.
