1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously ( 匿名 ).
But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors.

The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down -- their legs and feet straight up in the air -- all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. SO fast and so wonderful!
49. The Sahara Festival is a festival which________.
A. has a very long history in North Africa
B. is held in the same place on the same day

C. what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara Festival
D. how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival
D
Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it
can run away or fight back.. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But
plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach..
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for
instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液) A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
53. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________.
A. are not tall enough B. like the lower leaves only
C. are not clever enough D. can get the lower leaves easily
54. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.
A. chemical means B. physical means
C. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials
55. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
56. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend Themselves
C. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better,
changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that
put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was
the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a
deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better
understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology m the application of science m has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater
advantages to human beings: in pure science -- a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of
learning; in applied science -- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection
of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been
employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the
development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the
continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of
nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the
number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the
weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as
of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill
together. '’The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities -- science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
57. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
58.From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that________.
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth
59.The underlined word "mingled" in the last paragraph most probably means________.
A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy
60.What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A. Further application of science to war.
B. More reading of William Shakespeare.
C. Proper use of science in the new century.
D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down -- their legs and feet straight up in the air -- all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went. SO fast and so wonderful!
49. The Sahara Festival is a festival which________.
A. has a very long history in North Africa

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it
can run away or fight back.. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But
plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach..
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for
instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液) A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
53. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________.
A. are not tall enough B. like the lower leaves only
C. are not clever enough D. can get the lower leaves easily
54. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.
A. chemical means B. physical means
C. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials
55. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
56. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend Themselves
C. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better,
changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that
put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was
the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a
deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better
understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology m the application of science m has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater
advantages to human beings: in pure science -- a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of
learning; in applied science -- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection
of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been
employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the
development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the
continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of
nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the
number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the
weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as
of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill
together. '’The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities -- science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
57. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
58.From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that________.
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth
59.The underlined word "mingled" in the last paragraph most probably means________.
A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy
60.What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A. Further application of science to war.
B. More reading of William Shakespeare.
C. Proper use of science in the new century.
D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

Dear Jim,
How are you? Many thanks for the shirt! I’m very happy to hear from you again.
I love the shirt very much, Jim. And red is my favorite color! You remembered! It’s just my size. Every time I wear it, I will think of you.
I’m fine here in China. Last week I had a birthday party. Many of my classmates came and my mother cooked a lot of good food for us. We really had a wonderful time together. How are you doing in England, Jim? I miss you very much. I always miss the days we were together last summer. I hope you can come to China some day.
Please write back soon.
Your friend,
