    In Vietnam(越南), Tet-trung-Thu, or Mid- autumn Festival, is one of the most popular holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month in lunar calendar
    Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vietnamese story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the childen playing by themselves.  To make up for the lost time, parents would use the Aid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and than for their children.
    As a result, the Mid- autumn Festival is also called the Children’s Festival.  In the USA, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese- American families.  Tet-trung-Thu, activities are often centered on Children and education.  Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can take part in a lantern parade at dawn.  Lanterns mean brightness, while the parade means success in school.  Vietnamese markets sell different kinds of lanterns, but the most popular children’s lantern is the star lantern. Other children’s activities includes arts and crafts(手工艺) in which children make face mas and lanterns.  Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dances for grown-ups and take part in contests for prizes and scholarships. Unicorn(麒麟) dancers are also very popular at Tet-trung-Thu festivities.
    Like the Chinese, Vietnamese parents tell their children folk stories and serve moon-cakes and other special treats under the bright moon. A favorite folk story is about a carp(鲤鱼) that wanted to bee a dragon.  The carp worked hard and finally changed itself into a dragon. Parents use this story to encourage their children to work hard so that they can bee whatever they want to be.

    My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn(谷仓)there were bats(蝙蝠)and they would not leave. The barn was their home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. Don’t worry about it, Dad, " Patrick said. They keep down the mosquitoes(蚊子).”
    Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. when we had asked a person to sell　the house for us he had refused to show it because of the bats. Bats are popular, “Patrick comforted me. They’re ecological(生态学的).”Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high frequency sounds to keep bats away?” “I don’t know,” said Patrick. But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too. “Probably?” I hated that word. “How many bats are　there ,anyway?” “I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.” “You mean there are more — outside?” “They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,” he said for the hundredth time. “It’s not a problem.”
    The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能),”he said, “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.
    Finally we managed to rent “(出租)the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. What about the bats?” I said to Patrick.
    “Oh, they love the bats,” he said. “No mosquitoes. No black flies. It’s one of the things that attracted them.”
    “Do you think they will really buy the blouse?”
    “Probably.”
    “Probably? Well, if they do ,I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.”
    “You mean you’re going to eat your words?”
    “Yes, I am.”
    36.  What was the problem the author had with his house?
    A.?Bats were living in the barn and wouldn't go away.
    B.?The author and his son couldn't sleep well because of the bats.
    C.?The author and his son might be able to stay for the season.
    D.?The house was still badly in need of repair.
    37.?What did Patrick suggest the author should do to stop the bats living in the barn?
    A.?He should buy a high frequency machine.
    B.?He should move them one hundred miles away.
    C.?He should reduce the number of mosquitoes.
    D.?He should close the barn in the spring.
    38.?Why did the author fall silent when he talked with the bat specialist?
    A.?He felt sure about the situation.
    B.?He found out that it would be impossible to remove the bats.
    C.?He learned that he would be able to share his luck with the expert.
    D.?He liked the advice given by the expert.

    B.?The author failed to find anybody who wanted to live in the house.
    C.?The bat expert made the decision to buy the house.
    D.?The bats left the house for Mexico in the spring.
    40.?Why did the author think he might have to “eat his words”?
    A.?He felt sorry for the bats.
    B.?He might be mistaken about being unable to sell the house.
    C.?He realized he might be wrong about the bats’ actions.
    D.?He was happy about selling the house.

    Lead（铅） deposits, which accumulated（增加） in soil and snow during the 1960's and 70's, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated（托管） unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased greatly.
    A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining（减少）.
    In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (分区) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.
    In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.
    The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed (再分配)the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies show that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统 ) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.
    1. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that ________.
    A. the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results
    B. lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase
    C. lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected
    D. the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow
    2. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US ________.
    A. was discouraged               B. was carried out by law
    C. was forbidden by law           D. was introduced
    3. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?
    A. By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.
    B. By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.
    C. By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.
    D. By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.
    4. The authors of the Ambio study have found that ________.
    A forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected
    B. lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal with
    C. lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the US
    D. the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions
    5. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ________.
    A. are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution
    B. feel ease by the use of unleaded gasoline
    C. still consider lead pollution a problem
    D. lack enough means to combat lead pollution

    Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
    “Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
    “What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
    “1 know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军） there.”
    The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
    Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
    I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
    Your son,
    Herbie

    57. It can be inferred from the text that Champ is_______.
    A. Watson’ s son                                       B. Mr Smith’ s son
    C. a teacher of Mr Smith’s son                           D. the son of Mr Smith’s friend
    58. From the text we know that Herbie_______.
    A. was a college student                    B. didn’t live to grow up
    C. made friends with many boys                 D. died from a car accident

    Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point, all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
    Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost（鬼）” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named) and Amala(the name given to the younger child).
    Kamala was a terrible-looking being—the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.
    1. From the passage we can learn that               .
    A. human beings can develop human abilities only if they are raised by their biological parents
    B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts
    C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture
    D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society
    2. Who were the “ghosts” of the Kidnapper forest seen by the local villagers?
    A. They were two children Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
    B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
    C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.
    D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children’s home.
    3. How would you understand the description by the director “they began going on all fours,” in his
    diary?
    A. They began to continue with all their four eyes.
    B. They started walking with their four feet.
    C. They began going with their four hands.
    D. They started walking with both their hands and feet.
    4. Which of the following do you think is the best title to this passage?
    A. Wolf-children                                   B. Culture and Human Behavior
    C. Culture and Language Learning              D. A director’s Diary

    卡上将该项涂黑。
    I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不经意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
    I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
    “My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!
    1. Why did the author smiled to the jailer first?
    A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.
    B. Because he wanted to give a good impression on the jailer.
    C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.
    D. The reason was unknown to him and us.
    2. Which of the following is the fight order according to the story?
    a. I was set free at the edge of town.
    b. I wanted to borrow a light from the jailer.
    c. I was arrested and quite frightened.
    d. I took out the pictures of my family.
    e. The jailer took out the pictures of his family.
    A. c, b, e, d, a     B. b, c, d, a, e            C. c, b, d, e, a            D. c, d, e, b, a
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
