    As the human population grows, the population of rat also increases. Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave what they cannot finish of the fast food in the street, an environment group warned. Keep Britain Tidy said the rats were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were running across the streets, invited by burgers, pizzas and crisps left behind by man. “The rat population is on the rise and soon it’ll be as common to see a rat on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat,” said group Director, Sue Nelson. The practice of spreading fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the dustbin—with young men the worst group—was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain’s rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million, two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a family of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil’s Disease –an infection which can lead to liver or kidney（肝肾）failure and eventually death and which is carried in rats’ waste. To attract people’s attention to the problem, Keep Britain Tidy produced a cinema ad with a title “How close do you want them to get?” The ad gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rats--reminding people of the terrible scene from James Herbert’s classic horror tale The Rats, in which rats begin to hunt for humans.

    56. Where did the rats use to search for food?

           A. In the street                                                 B. Under the ground

           C. From the dustbins                                 D. In burger shops

    57. What was the rat population in Britain in 2000 according to the writer?

           A. Around 60 million                                  B. Around 2 million       

    C. Around 38 million                                  D. Around 45 million

    58. We may infer from the passage that ______________.

           A. Weil’s Disease will finally end the world

           B. pizzas and crisps will become unpopular

           C. rats will put human beings’ life in danger

           D. young people should take the responsibility for the rat population

    59. By writing the passage, the author tries to _____________.

           A. close some of the burger and pizza restaurants

           B. draw the public attention to the problem of rats

           C. prevent the rats from growing up

    D. making an advertisement for the classic horror tale The Rats

    Technology today has stolen away our voices and robbed our children of memories. I’ve been keeping count of how often people sing around the house these days. The fact is, they don’t.
    My earliest memories are of my mother crooning lullabies(催眠曲) in a gentle low voice as she rocked each infant in turn. She said she “didn’t have a singing voice,” but her low, wavering alto will always mean comfort to me. Every time I have sat through the night with a feverish body or held a pre – schooler through a nightmare, the melodies returned, words appearing and disappearing like fragments of a dream but held together by the hum (低声吟唱)of love.
    Today, young mothers are routinely presented with lullaby tapes at the baby shower. When baby cries, the idea goes, they will be able to switch on the high-tech audio system and the little one will drift off with the voices of strangers in his ears, perfectly on pitch. If I had my way, new parents would learn the songs themselves, throw out their stereos, and give their child the gift of their own sleepy voices through the midnight hours.
    These days, when we go on a trip, my daughters take along tiny personal stereos and headphones. They are lost in their private worlds, and I can’t help wishing that at least here, in the car my girls would be forced to listen to their mother’s voice raised in lost – the – words again, sure I’m out－of－tune songs that they might then pass down to another generation. Those sophisticated earphones have robbed them of something I think every kid should carry from childhood car trips into adulthood.
    I drove away from that party humming, and all the way home the good old songs kept tumbling out. Dammit (该死), I thought, why did I ever stop singing in the car and start turning on the radio instead? Why don’t I sign anymore while I’m doing the dishes? I’m going to yank those stereo wires right out of the wall when I get home. We’re going to sing grace before meals, sing coals around the piano, sing in the shower instead of switching on that waterproof radio that stol away our voices and our souls.
    63．The author hates today’s technology because________
    A．driving a car requires high concentration
    B．children are learning pop songs from tapes
    C．children have lost touch with good old songs
    D．high – tech systems do not record the voices of aged people
    64．The underlined sentence “the little one will drift off” in Paragraph 3 means that “________ ”.
    A．the play of the high – tech system is of little use
    B．the high – tech system will play on and on
    C．the low voice will delight the baby
    D．the baby will slowly go to sleep
    65．To the author, the voices of strangers ________       .
    A．are not familiar to the baby
    B．lack the motherly love the baby needs
    C．work better to stop the baby’s cry

    In 1945 there were 17 universities in Britain; by 1967 there were 45．A period of very rapid expansion took place in the middle sixties when ten new institutes were granted university status by Royal Charter．These modern universities do not in many ways resemble their older counterparts．Much more emphasis is placed on advanced studies in science and technology and the newer social science disciplines than on the arts and humanities．For the most part of the buildings the students live and work in are severely functional and there are the hum and bustle of continuous activities．The quiet gardens and enclosed quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge belong to another world．This will certainly happen, for the universities like everything else must change and adapt themselves to meet the needs and demands of a new age．

    For those who missed the opportunities for higher education at the age of eighteen or so, a major innovation in the academic world now provides a second chance．The Open University was found in 1971; it offers tuition to degree standards to anyone who chooses to entry．The courses are taught through radio, television programs, Internet and by correspondence with Open University tutors．By now there are over 100,000 students enrolled for Open University and there are several thousand people who are the proud holders of a B．A degree from the Open University．

    1．The underlined word “counterparts” in the first paragraph has the closest meaning with “______．”

          A．enemies                 B．leaders             C．similarities              D．strangers

          A．The British young people only．

          B．Anyone who missed the chance to go to college．

          C．Girls who missed the chance to enter a college．

          D．Those who are interested in science and technology．

    3．How can a student get taught in the Open University?

          A．Study in the open air of Oxford and Cambridge Universities．

          B．Through the modern communication methods．

          C．By self-study with the help of polytechnics．

          D．By attending to the top ten institutes in Britain．

          A．Life in the Open Universities．           B．Free Degrees in Open Universities．
