“My cow’s ill,” the farmer said. “I don’t know what's the matter with her. She’s lying down and won’t eat. She’s making a strange noise.”
The vet looked over the cow. "She’s certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to take some very strong medicine."
He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better."
“How should I give them to her ” the farmer asked.
The vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow(吹). That’ll make it."
The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.
“How’s your cow ” the vet asked.
“No change,” the farmer said, “and I’m feeling very strange myself.”
“Oh ” the vet said, "Why "

Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑) across the road.
Rule No.1 for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.
Rule No.2 is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.
49. The writer tries to _____ in this passage.
A. show his dislikes about bad winter weather
B. give information about winter weather
C. ask people not to drive in winter
D. advise people about safe driving in winter
50. According to the passage, the writer thinks that _______.
A. people should not drive in the snow
B. drivers should think more about problems in winter driving
C. people drive too fast in winter
D. winter drivers should stop their cars less
51. In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee ______.
A. to show how important smooth movements are
B. to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them
C. to tell the drivers to be more relaxed
D. to show how it can be spilled
52. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Traffic accidents take place easily in winter.
B. Fog and melting snow often cause car accidents.
C. The stopping distance on ice is as long as the usual one.
D. In winter you should drive your car with great care.

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies in American. He says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world.
In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. These activities are putting their futures at risk.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn't need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today's students, academic(学术的) skills are important to students' future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Most American schools offer up to thirteen weeks summer vacation.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today's families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.
“A longer school year does not have to be hard and boring work. Instead, it should allow teachers to give richer and more imaginative lessons,” Frederick M. Hess suggested, “Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts”.
Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.

Dear Mom and Dad
We’re having a wonderful time in Australia. There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. During the past three days, 61. 我们已经在悉尼(Sydney)四处游览了一番. We climbed the bridge, where we could get a really good view of the city. 62. We also went to the zoo, where we saw many animals that can only be found in Australia. We spent some time relaxing in the sunshine at the beach, and then we went to Pitt Street and wandered around for a bit while we did some shopping. Though I would like to spend more time here, the local guide told us that we would fly to Cairns(凯恩斯)tomorrow. 63.据说那儿大海非常美, where many different fish live. 64.Now everybody is busy packing in order to save time when we get up tomorrow.

书面表达:(One possible version)
Good morning, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “How to keep a good mood”.
As we all know, a good mood is very important for our work and life. It can help promote our work efforts, and improve our life quality. Besides, if we are in a good mood, we will have fewer illnesses and worries. In this way, we can stay healthy and live longer.
To keep a good mood, we should do the following things. First, we should maintain a good sense of humor. Second, we should take up some hobbies, which will widen our horizons and add pleasure to our daily life. Third, it is very important for us to be friendly, communicate openly, and share our interests and pleasures with others as much as possible. Finally, we should keep calm and try to overcome our difficulties when facing them and try to make progress in our work.
In a word, if we can follow the above suggestions, I am sure we will have a good state of mind all the time.
That’s all. Thank you!
