阅读短文从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road. He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.
His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, “Daniel is so full of curiosity.” At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣橱)he has pulled over onto the floor, with a book in his hand. “It’s for you, Mum,” he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn’t look like a naughty boy.
Angela told me all about it. “Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine.” Jasper, she explained, is the Browns’ dog. When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It’s amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister’s wedding and the neighbours haven’t spoken to us since.”
Angela told me about Daniel’s most expensive crime. “I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older.”
Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?
56. What did Daniel do while his mother was talking to the author?
A. He drove away the family car.
B. He cut off the hair of the girl next door.
C. He flooded the kitchen.
D. He fell to the floor with the wardrobe.
57. Why was Daniel going to put the dog in the washing machine?
A. He meant to clean the dog.
B. He wanted to punish the dog.
C. He intended to make trouble.
D. He wished to draw his mother’s attention.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the mother spoiled the boy
B. the boy found school life interesting
C. the mother lost hope in the boy
D. the boy had no freedom at home
B
Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍)to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification(身份证明) papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.
Countries set up customs(海关) posts at their borders. Foreign travelers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travelers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military(军事的) or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
59. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that ______.
A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the country.
B. People have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons
C. Travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas
D. Customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries
60. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because ____.
A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others
B. they think such freedom will lead to wars
C. they often disagree with each other on important matters
D. they want to show their authority(权威) over communication
61. We may learn from the passage that ______.
A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries
B. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves
C. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
D. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist
62. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Barriers Made by People
B. Functions(功能) of Communication
C. Restrictions(限制) on Transportation
D. Progress of Human Society
C
LEEDS, England – A Leeds University psychology(心理学) Professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
“The hatred(strong dislike) we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20- week workshop in London – a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
“These are people who are sick and tired of living with the memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves,” said Canadian-born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for two – hour workshop with a visit to an adviser every night.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people.
“People have lots of wrong attitudes(态度)towards forgiveness,” he said, “People can’t tell forgiveness from forgetting.”
“Forgiveness is something of changing from a wrong attitude to a right one.”
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
“The main idea is to give your guidelines on how to look at various dangers that affect you, and how to change your attitude toward the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.
63. From this passage we can find that ________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. with hatred, people likely have trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
64. If you are angry with somebody, you should ________.

D. relax yourself by not thinking of it any more
65. In Hart’s 20- week workshop, people there can ________.
A. meet their enemies B. change their minds

66. If you are a member in Hart’s workshop, you’ll have to ________.

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
In reality lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.
The American scientist and statesman ,Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first Lightning Rod(避雷针). His device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one storke of lightning contains more than 15 million volts. A spark between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists estimate(估计) that there are about 2, 000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year . In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also ,one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house ,people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
