When Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, p. t. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’s parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.
He gave the two-foot tall Charles a new name. General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.
During the show, Tom acted fighting against tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.

The killer bees are coming! By the time you read this they will have reached Texas. By the mid-1990s, they will have reached all the warmer areas of the United States. Scientists as well as farmers wait for them with a mixture of fear and wonder.
The killer bees should not be coming at all. Nature did not put them on this direct path for the United States; human being did. The killer bees are from Africa. But in 1957 a scientist from Brazil got some of these killer bees for his experiments. The aim was to produce a better bee. However, an accident happened: a guest beekeeper let twenty-six of the queen bees escape by mistake. Before long, groups of killer bees took off for the woods.
Since that time, the wild bees have multiplied many times over. By 1988, their population was over 10,000. They have spread all over South America, Central America, and most of Mexico. The United States is the next stop.
Are the killer bees really killers? Yes, they are. In their first thirty years in America, they have killed thousands of hens, pigs, and other animals. While no one knows the exact number, it is believed that several hundred people have also been killed.
So be careful. Killer bees are on the way. Scientists have no idea what to do with them yet. There must be a way.
55. According to the passage killer bees will spread to the US from the _______.
A. south B. east C., north D. west
56. The killer bees were brought to Brazil in order to _______.
A. kill the local bees B. make an African bee
C. develop a better one D. produce wild bees
57. The killer bees becoming wild in America results from a mistake by _______.
A. a queen B. a scientist C. a beekeeper D. a guest
58. The passage suggests that to all the creatures on the earth ______.
A. experiments are often very threatening.
B. warmer areas are full of fear and wonder.
C. beekeepers are the most dangerous people.
D. the greatest danger often comes from man himself.

Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.
The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers --- more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.
A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored(共同发起) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.
Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.
There is no direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.
Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funds(资金). There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits.
A professor of Tsinghua University said, “A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction.”
“For example,” he said, “the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.
The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping-stones.
The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that traveling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.
The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.
63. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?
A. The English Channel Tunnel. B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.
C. The passage doesn’t mention it. D. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.
64. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows ______.
A. it’s more important to complete a huge project than anything else.
B. there are many problems to be solved before doing something
C. discussions among countries usually take a lot of time
D. The preparation takes longer time than the construction in some huge projects
65. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.
B. If the project is completed, the world’s longest tunnel will appear.
C. You can’t reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.
D. The Starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian

书面表达：
Dear Helen,
It’s very kind of you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about mine, Liangyugang. The city lies near the sea. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. There is some beautiful scenery, such as the Huaguo Mountains, beach and so on. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past few years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.
In my opinion, we should develop the city’s economy without damaging it environment. I also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have an even better hometown in the future.
Yours,
Wang Fang
