A pair of Oldham brothers are celebrating after they both graduated from their higher education courses on the same day from the same college. Masiur and Mahbubur successfully completed their courses at Rochdale’s Hopwood Hall College a year after their younger brother Mohammed Abu Yusuf graduated from there. To mark the occasion, their parents flew over from Bangladesh to join in the celebration at the brothers’ Plato Street home.
Masiur, 24, said, “My parents were excited and proud. It was really great to have three sons all graduate from the same college. We’d like to thank the international office at Hopwood Hall, and all our teachers and friends for all their help and support. My mum is quite ill and isn’t fit for traveling, but my aunt came with her and thankfully she was able to attend the ceremony. It was a really great moment for the whole family.”
The brothers have been living in Oldham for more than three years, having moved here to complete their studies. Masiur was awarded a BTEC (英国商业与技术教育委员会) HND (英国国家高等教育文凭) in business information technology and 35-year-old Mahbubur was awarded a BTEC HND in management studies. Both will go on to study at Huddersfield University.

What is a flood and where does it happen
A flood occurs when water pours over dry land. Floods can cause big damage when they happen unexpectedly.
Heavy rain can cause floods. If a lot of rain falls quickly, the earth is unable to soak (吸入) it up, and the water builds up on the ground. When it runs off into the rivers, the rivers overflow their banks.
The worst floods happen on land that is flat and low- -lying. These areas of land are known as flood plains (漫滩). Mud, earth, and large objects, like cars, can be carried long distances by flood waters. Then, disease spreads quickly because the flood water is polluted.
What should I know if I live on a flood plain
● Stay away from flood water. It may be polluted.
● Do not walk through moving water. It can knock you off your feet. If you must walk through water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to test the ground in front of you.
● Stay away from power lines that are on the ground. You could be electrocuted (电死).
● If you are scared, share your fears with an adult. Floods can be terrible, but remember — the water ALWAYS goes away!
What dangers does a flood lead to
● Electrocution from power lines
● Dangerous animals coming out
● Drowning
What should I do if a flood happens
● Get to the meeting place of your family.
● Try to get to higher ground.
● Listen to your family and follow all instructions carefully.
40. Which of the following are related to a flood according to the passage
a. heavy rain
b. global warming
c. low-lying land
d. the change of river course
e. flat land
A. a, b, e B. c, d, e C. a, c, e D. b, d, e
41. You are advised not to walk in the moving water because _____.
A. it may make you fall over
B. you may step on fish and kill them
C. you may drink polluted water
D. you may lose your shoes
42. By saying “the water ALWAYS goes away”, the author means _____.
A. water can’t be stopped from flowing
B. you needn’t be afraid of floods
C. you should pay close attention to floods
D. it is common for floods to happen
43. We can infer from the passage that during a flood _____.
A. people are more likely to be attacked by animals

C
The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. “OK, Oakley,” the dog’s handler orders. “Find it!”
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. “Good dog!” she praises. The handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
“He doesn’t actually want the waste,” says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U.S.-based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. “He finds it so he can play with his ball. We’re the ones who want the waste.”
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes — all without ever seeing the animal itself. “It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals,” Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic livestock (家畜), Hurt says. “A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is actually eating.” This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.
44. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_____”.
A. the German shepherd
B. the handler
C. Aimee Hurt
D. an African wild dog
45. Oakley is interested in finding the waste because _____.
A. he wants to eat it
B. he wants to play with it
C. he wants to study endangered animals
D. he can get a tennis ball to play with
46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Trapping animals is not difficult.
B. Collecting animal waste is a good way to gather information.
C. People are making efforts to protect the environment.
D. Detection dogs attack domestic livestock frequently.
47. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Detection dogs can help the police catch the criminals.
B. Detection dogs can defend wildlife.
C. Detection dogs can help scientists study wildlife.
D. Detection dogs can help local people defend domestic livestock.
D
What’s your idea of a good time What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit- -making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调) international poverty and debt.
48. What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”
A. The festival has achieved growing success.
B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B. Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.
C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
50. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D. some superstars are concerned about global poverty
51. What is the best title for the passage
A. How to have a good time
B. Charity events around the world
C. The Glastonbury Festival
D. Superstars’ performances in charity events
E
Research on the human brain has been attracting the attention of more and more scientists in recent years. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e., to transplant (移植) a chip into human brain. This innovation (创新) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists do is to enlarge the capacity (容量) of the hard disc. There are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.
Experiments were started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.
The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology, deep and detailed studies were made of the swimming action memory area in Ted’s brain by the scientists. They got a lot of useful information. The information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.
Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California.
The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had all the abilities “Genius” possessed. It could follow every gesture and order given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.
52. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the two experiments are about memory transplants
B. the scientists exchanged the dolphin’s and the bear’s brains
C. there is no possibility of changing the human brain
D. “Idiot” got only some abilities “Genius” possessed after the experiment
53. The scientists did the two experiments to _____.
A. see if animals can be taught some special skills
B. see if animals can share some common knowledge
C. learn if it’s safe to do such transplant experiments
D. make preparative research on changing the human brain
54. The underlined sentence “The operation was a complete success” in the last paragraph means that _____.
A. the dogs exchanged their memories
B. the dogs could live as before
C. the dogs were as clever as human beings
D. the dogs were safe
55. It could be inferred from the passage that in the future _____.
A. human beings will be healthier
B. animals will be more tender
C. human beings may get knowledge more quickly
D. animals will cause more damage to the environment

My friend Li Hua was born in a province in the south of China. He was paralyzed in both legs in a car accident when he was young. Although he suffers a great deal, he doesn’t lose heart. Instead, he takes an optimistic attitude towards life. He works very hard in school and does an excellent job. Besides, he is ready to help others who are in trouble. He is writing articles on the Internet to encourage other disabled people. He wins the respect of his classmates and teachers.
In my opinion, Li Hua is a very brave boy and he sets a good example to us all. In the face of difficulty, we shouldn’t give up. We should value our life and try our best to make some contributions to our society.

The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. “OK, Oakley,” the dog’s handler orders. “Find it!”
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. “Good dog!” she praises. The handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
“He doesn’t actually want the waste,” says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U.S.-based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. “He finds it so he can play with his ball. We’re the ones who want the waste.”
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes — all without ever seeing the animal itself. “It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals,” Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic livestock (家畜), Hurt says. “A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is actually eating.” This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.

What’s your idea of a good time What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit- -making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调) international poverty and debt.

A. The festival has achieved growing success.
B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.

C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
50. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals

Research on the human brain has been attracting the attention of more and more scientists in recent years. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e., to transplant (移植) a chip into human brain. This innovation (创新) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists do is to enlarge the capacity (容量) of the hard disc. There are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.
Experiments were started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.
The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology, deep and detailed studies were made of the swimming action memory area in Ted’s brain by the scientists. They got a lot of useful information. The information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.
Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California.
The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had all the abilities “Genius” possessed. It could follow every gesture and order given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.
52. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the two experiments are about memory transplants
B. the scientists exchanged the dolphin’s and the bear’s brains
C. there is no possibility of changing the human brain
D. “Idiot” got only some abilities “Genius” possessed after the experiment
53. The scientists did the two experiments to _____.
A. see if animals can be taught some special skills
B. see if animals can share some common knowledge
C. learn if it’s safe to do such transplant experiments
D. make preparative research on changing the human brain
54. The underlined sentence “The operation was a complete success” in the last paragraph means that _____.
A. the dogs exchanged their memories
B. the dogs could live as before
C. the dogs were as clever as human beings
D. the dogs were safe
55. It could be inferred from the passage that in the future _____.
A. human beings will be healthier
B. animals will be more tender
C. human beings may get knowledge more quickly
D. animals will cause more damage to the environment

One possible version:
My friend Li Hua was born in a province in the south of China. He was paralyzed in both legs in a car accident when he was young. Although he suffers a great deal, he doesn’t lose heart. Instead, he takes an optimistic attitude towards life. He works very hard in school and does an excellent job. Besides, he is ready to help others who are in trouble. He is writing articles on the Internet to encourage other disabled people. He wins the respect of his classmates and teachers.
In my opinion, Li Hua is a very brave boy and he sets a good example to us all. In the face of difficulty, we shouldn’t give up. We should value our life and try our best to make some contributions to our society.
