    “Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.”
    Mr Williams  36 his little boy by the hand, and said   37  to him, “Come, my son. I want to show you  38  in the garden.”
    Harry walked into the garden with his   39  , who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be  40  about their roots.
    “See how beautifully these peas are   41, my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good   42 . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”
    Mr. Williams then  43 Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines.
    After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, “Well, my son, what do you   44 Mr. Parker’s pea vines?”
    “Oh, Father!” replied the little boy. “I never saw such  45 looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as  46 as the peas themselves. There won’t be half a crop!”
    “  47  are they so much worse than ours, Harry?”
    “Because they have been left to grow as they  48 . I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them  49 ”
    “ Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds  50  it is not taken good care of,” Mr. Williams  51 , “and so it is with the human garden. Children’s minds are like garden beds. They must be  52  cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your  53  may have good seeds(种子) and   54 plentifully. Now which would you  55 , to stay at home or go to school?”
    “I would rather go to school,” said Harry.

    Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
    There are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephones, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
    Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image.
    Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
    76. When people move to a new country, they _______.
    A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
    B. have well prepared for the new surroundings
    C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly
    D. will never be familiar with the culture of the country
    77. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except __________.
    A. language communication                          B. weather conditions and customs
    C. public service systems                                   D. homesickness
    78. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _______.
    A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad     
    B. the more difficulties you may have abroad
    C. the more money you will earn abroad          
    D. the less homesick you may feel abroad
    79. When people are homesick, they tend to ______.
    A. find some people to talk to                                   B. go outside to have a walk
    C. visit their friends far away                                   D. stay indoors all the time
    80. The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to ______.
    A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment    
    B. develop a strange sense of self-protection
    C. get familiar with new culture                            
    D. return to our own country

    “Birds are not as loyal to their partners as you might think, with divorce, child abandonment and remarriage a common part of birds’ life,” a new book has shown. Author and biology professor Bridge Stutchbury, dispels the love-bird belief that birds pair up for life. “In terms of the top 10 beliefs about birds, the lasting pair bonds that we think about, do occur in some birds, but in most of the little songbirds that we studied, no,” the professor from York University in Toronto said. The divorce rate among greater flamingos is 99 percent.
    Stutchbury’s book, The Private Lives of Birds, based on 20 years of research from radio filming and DNA testing shows male Acadian flycatchers fertilize(使受孕) females far away from their home nests, “ The main discovery is that so many birds do divorce for what humans would describe as selfish reasons,” Professor Stutchbury said. She noted that females may seek out males that are more colorful and better singers, or look to “step up in the world” and move to areas that are safer and have more food. “Females are looking for the highest quality male so that their children will be of high quality,” she added.
    Professor Stutchbury said shorter summers may drive females to leave their nests before their young are fully grown up so they can quickly find new mates（配偶） and lay more eggs, leaving the males to feed the hungry chicks on their own.
    Males can double their success in producing children by fertilizing neighboring females, but only “mates” care for the young, and some are none the wiser. “  They can’t tell when the egg comes out and whether it’s theirs or not,” She said. “They have no way to know.”
    Divorce is surprisingly common among birds, and most live with one partner for only a few months or years. Divorce rates range from 99 percent in the greater flamingo to zero in the wandering albatross(信天翁).
    小题1:What does the underline word “dispels” mean?
    A．States B．Doubts C．Confirms D．Removes
    小题2:The book The Private Lives of Birds_____.
    A．shows the kind of male birds females seek out.
    B．indicates the wandering albatross is the most faithful.
    C．is based on Professor Stutchbury’s 20 years’ research.
    D．suggests that female birds select males near their home.
    小题3:According to the passage, we can infer that________.
    A．young birds’ quality depends on their feather.
    B．some male birds care for others’ young as their own.
    C．female birds go to find males as soon as autumn comes.
    D．female birds are responsible for feeding the hungry babies.
    小题4: What is the passage mainly about?
    A．A book about love-birds.
    B．Birds’ living habits and love life
    C．The fact that birds don’t love their mates forever.
    D．The factors that influence birds to look for another mate.

    Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.   
    Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
    There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
    Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day' a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
    68. Many plants may survive in deserts when__________________.
    A. the rain is spread out in a year      B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
    C. there is little rain in a year         D. it is dry all the year round
    69. Sand dunes are formed when___________________.
    A. sand piles up gradually             B. there is plenty of rain in a year
    C. the sea has dried up over the years    D. pieces of rock get smaller
    70. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________.
    A. too much sand              B. more sand than before
    C. nothing except sand          D. something else besides sand
    71. It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.
    A. there is no rainfall throughout the year               B. life exists in rough conditions
    C. all sand dunes are a few feet high              D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

    Romantic comedies have long been regarded as the perfect movie for a first date. But according to a study, romantic comedies such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill could be bad for your love life.
    Rather than being harmless entertainment, 'rom-coms' give people unrealistic and potentially unhealthy expectations about real-life relationships, scientists say.
    Researchers found that those who watched romantic comedies were more likely to believe in predestined love (缘份) than those who preferred other kinds of movie.
    They were also more likely to believe that perfect relationships happen instantly, and were less likely to believe that couples need to work at relationships.
    Watching just one romantic comedy is enough to sway people's attitudes to romantic love, they found.
    Dr Bjarne Holmes, who led the research, said: "We are not killing joys -- we are not saying that people shouldn't watch these movies. But we are saying that it would be helpful if people were more aware and more critical of the messages in these films. The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced than we realize."
    For the first part of the study, Dr Holmes and colleagues at the Family and Personal Relationships Laboratory at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, studied 40 box office hits from 1995 to 2005.
    Most of those comedies described couples falling instantly in love and promoted the idea of fate --the belief that there is just one perfect companion out there, they found.
    "There's a belief of destiny and couples in romantic comedies immediately understand each other," said Dr Holmes. "If you think that's how things are, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed."
    In a second study, Dr Holmes asked around 100 student volunteers to watch Serendipity -- the 2001 romantic comedy starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack, while 100 watched a David Lynch drama.
    In a questionnaire after the film ended, students watching the rom-com were far more likely to believe in fate and destiny than those who had watched the 'straight' film.
    72. According to the passage if you are fond of watching romantic comedies, you ____.
    A. are more likely to believe in future love
    B. must be influenced by films
    C. may expect a perfect relationship in your love life
    D. may fall instantly in love with one of your classmates
    73. The underlined word "destiny" most probably means __     .
    A. fate             B. love            C. beauty          D. romance
    74. The purpose of Dr Bjame Hohnes' research is __     .
    A. to promote the idea of fate
    B. to ask us to keep away from romantic comedies
    C. to show how romantic comedies have influence on our life
    D. to remind us of the negative effect of watching romantic comedies
    75. It is implied in the passage that        .
    A. watching comedies is harmful to a stable marriage
    B. it is necessary for couples to work at their relationship
    C. couples falling instantly in love end up with an unhappy marriage
    D. we should watch more 'straight' films instead of romantic comedies
