The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and it feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all the bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Some times several hundred of them occupy a single tree. As they return to the tree towards sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.
Flying foxes have babies once a year giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and shouts for help, then the older ones fly down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found at the foot of a tree.
68. The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in ____________.
A. their size B. the kind of food they eat
C. their appearance D. the way they rest

Most painters discover a style(风格) of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
Some of Picasso’s paintings are rich, soft coloured and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see.
Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.
71. In the passage the writer wants to tell us _________.
A. about some pictures which have different styles
B. about Picasso‘s style of painting
C. it is not easy for a painter to find his own style
D. that Picasso had not found his own particular style
72. The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _________.
A. make us try to notice something latent(潜在的) in the things
B. allow us to ask questions about them
C. force us to question anything we see
D. cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
73. The sentence “sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _________.
A. sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
B. he broke something he was painting and threw them away
C. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
D. things in some of his pictures seemed to be in disorder
74. Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”?
A. Because he looked young when he was old.
B. Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
C. Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.
D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.
75. What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picasso’s paintings?
A. He doesn‘t understand some of them.
B. He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.
C. He admires them, including the ugly ones.
D. He doesn’t like some of them, but he admires the painter.

Wrting:
Opinions are divided on the question. Some students may like elderly teacher’s teaching because they think elderly teachers have more teaching experience and that they tend to be patient and careful with explanations. Howver, I prefer to be taught by young teachers. Firstly, we students have much in common with them. So they are our friends as well as our teachers. Secondly, they are more energetic and enthusiastic. Usually they can make their classes lively and intersting. Besides, they are more ready to acccept or create new ideas, including teaching. Thirdly, most young teachers devote themselves to their work, making them teaching creatively and effectively.
In a word, I prefer young teachers to elderly teachers.
