A
Chickens catch cold
Humans can keep healthy each year by going to the doctor for a flu a shot (流感疫苗)
But birds aren’t so lucky. Since late last year, birds across Asia have been getting sick with bird flu.These sick birds have also been causing big problems for people in China and other countries.Chickens---as well as ducks, pigeons and other poultry---can all get bird flu, which is spread from farm to farm through the droppings(粪便) of wild birds, according to Xinhua News Agency.
But even worse bird flu could also spread to humans.People who catch bird flu will have the usual flu symptoms (症状) like fever, cough and sore throat, If they don’t see a doctor in time , they could die.The bird flu troubling Asia now is a highly dangerous kind caused by a virus(病毒) called H5N1. A girl in India tells us we can stay safe from bird flu if we :go veg”---become vegetarians.
So far, the virus has infected(感染) and killed millions of birds in Asian countries including Thailand, Viet Nam and Japan, Nineteen people across Asia have also died from bird flu. In the United Stated two cases of bird flu have been found among poultry. Several areas across China have reported cases of bird flu in poultry. So far, no human infections have been reported in China, according to Xinhua.
However, what scientists worry about most is that a person with human flu might catch bird flu, too. If that happens, experts say the two types of flu together could make an even more dangerous virus, a February 6 China Daily report said.In the same report, WHO scientist Bob Dietz said ,”The more widespread it becomes, the greater the possibility that the virus could change and infect the human population.”To prevent further spread of the disease, many countries are killing all the ill birds they find.
51.From the passage we know that bird flu is spread through _____among poultry.
A .water B. air C. droppings of wild birds D. blood
52.From the passage we may infer that____.
nineteen people have caught bird flu in Asia
a person with human flu may have bird flu virus in his body
people who catch bird flu could die
bird flu and human flu together could make an even more dangerous virus
53.According to the passage, signs that people with bird flu have include the following except_____.
A. fever B. headache C. cough D. sore throat
54.Which of the following is WRONG?
A.The bird flu was caused by a virus called H5N1.
B.Bird flu could spread to humans.
C.Many countries are killing all the chickens in their farms.
D.Besides Asia, bird flu has been found in other continents.
B
He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."
Adapted from People, November 25, 2002

China's first astronaut 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou 5 touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit.
Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success.” The descent capsule (返回舱) carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6.23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said.
Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,” Yang, a former fighter pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging.
In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was “feeling excellent”. Shenzhou 5 landed at dawn,4.8 kilometres (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well,” the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.” After a physical exam on spot, Yang’s condition was found as “good.” Li Jinai,the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a “national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's command and control centre and offered his congratulations.
Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a “Shenzhou 6” mission，most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts，and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle，like the United States.
Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned space flight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later，the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.
62. What is true of the first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei?
A. He is now a flight pilot.
B. He was helped to get out of the descent capsule.
C. He spent nearly a day in space.
D. He was called a “space hero” and a “national hero” by China's premier Wen Jiabao.
63. China will carry out the following space programs in the near future except_________.
A. space walking B. setting up a space station
C. building up a space shuttle D. sending up “Shenzhou 6”
64. The underlined word debut means_________.
A. first public appearance B. space
C. carrying person D. spaceship
65. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in the world to travel in space.
B. The United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr. about 43 years ago.
C. China is the third country in the world to carry out the manned space flight successfully.
D. “Shenzhou 6” will carry more than one astronaut in the mission.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
You have to give a speech, and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

Long,long ago there lived a man in the state named Chu. One day, the man wanted to cross a river by boat. As the boat was crossing the river , his sword suddenly fell into the water. He hurriedly took out a small knife and made a mark on the side of the boat, saying,“ It is from this spot that my sword fell into the water.” After the boat stopped, he jumped into the water to look for his sword in the direction the mark showed, but he failed to find it.
How could he find his sword? The boat moved a long distance, but the sword remained in the place where it sank. It was very silly to look for the sword in the way the man did.

Chickens catch cold
Humans can keep healthy each year by going to the doctor for a flu a shot (流感疫苗)
But birds aren’t so lucky. Since late last year, birds across Asia have been getting sick with bird flu.These sick birds have also been causing big problems for people in China and other countries.Chickens---as well as ducks, pigeons and other poultry---can all get bird flu, which is spread from farm to farm through the droppings(粪便) of wild birds, according to Xinhua News Agency.
But even worse bird flu could also spread to humans.People who catch bird flu will have the usual flu symptoms (症状) like fever, cough and sore throat, If they don’t see a doctor in time , they could die.The bird flu troubling Asia now is a highly dangerous kind caused by a virus(病毒) called H5N1. A girl in India tells us we can stay safe from bird flu if we :go veg”---become vegetarians.
So far, the virus has infected(感染) and killed millions of birds in Asian countries including Thailand, Viet Nam and Japan, Nineteen people across Asia have also died from bird flu. In the United Stated two cases of bird flu have been found among poultry. Several areas across China have reported cases of bird flu in poultry. So far, no human infections have been reported in China, according to Xinhua.
However, what scientists worry about most is that a person with human flu might catch bird flu, too. If that happens, experts say the two types of flu together could make an even more dangerous virus, a February 6 China Daily report said.In the same report, WHO scientist Bob Dietz said ,”The more widespread it becomes, the greater the possibility that the virus could change and infect the human population.”To prevent further spread of the disease, many countries are killing all the ill birds they find.
51.From the passage we know that bird flu is spread through _____among poultry.
A .water B. air C. droppings of wild birds D. blood
52.From the passage we may infer that____.
nineteen people have caught bird flu in Asia
a person with human flu may have bird flu virus in his body
people who catch bird flu could die
bird flu and human flu together could make an even more dangerous virus
53.According to the passage, signs that people with bird flu have include the following except_____.
A. fever B. headache C. cough D. sore throat
54.Which of the following is WRONG?
A.The bird flu was caused by a virus called H5N1.
B.Bird flu could spread to humans.
C.Many countries are killing all the chickens in their farms.
D.Besides Asia, bird flu has been found in other continents.

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."

China's first astronaut 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou 5 touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit.
Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success.” The descent capsule (返回舱) carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6.23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said.
Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,” Yang, a former fighter pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging.
In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was “feeling excellent”. Shenzhou 5 landed at dawn,4.8 kilometres (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well,” the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.” After a physical exam on spot, Yang’s condition was found as “good.” Li Jinai,the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a “national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's command and control centre and offered his congratulations.
Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a “Shenzhou 6” mission，most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts，and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle，like the United States.
Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned space flight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later，the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.
62. What is true of the first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei?
A. He is now a flight pilot.
B. He was helped to get out of the descent capsule.
C. He spent nearly a day in space.
D. He was called a “space hero” and a “national hero” by China's premier Wen Jiabao.
63. China will carry out the following space programs in the near future except_________.
A. space walking B. setting up a space station
C. building up a space shuttle D. sending up “Shenzhou 6”
64. The underlined word debut means_________.
A. first public appearance B. space
C. carrying person D. spaceship
65. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in the world to travel in space.
B. The United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr. about 43 years ago.
C. China is the third country in the world to carry out the manned space flight successfully.
D. “Shenzhou 6” will carry more than one astronaut in the mission.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
You have to give a speech, and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

Long,long ago there lived a man in the state named Chu. One day, the man wanted to cross a river by boat. As the boat was crossing the river , his sword suddenly fell into the water. He hurriedly took out a small knife and made a mark on the side of the boat, saying,“ It is from this spot that my sword fell into the water.” After the boat stopped, he jumped into the water to look for his sword in the direction the mark showed, but he failed to find it.
How could he find his sword? The boat moved a long distance, but the sword remained in the place where it sank. It was very silly to look for the sword in the way the man did.
