(A)
The disaster at the Chernobyl (former USSR) power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours or April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor failed. Minutes later, a violent explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted(爆破) a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed immediately. Hundreds received powerful radiation overdoses (过量). And more than 25,000 had to be taken away from their homes.
Days later, the radioactive could have spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden.
The accident at Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that:
·similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs.
·fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas.
·nuclear accidents are unusually compared with other types of accidents – such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down.
·more nuclear power stations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil, coal and natural gas are running out.
In 1957 in Cumbria (Britain) a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdoses. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside.
An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime Minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet (内阁) records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria.
56. One result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was that ______.
A. 25,000 people were killed B. fresh foods were polluted
C. people in Scotland were taken away from their homes
D. hundreds of houses in Chernobyl were destroyed
57. According to the passage, nuclear accidents ______.
A. are most unlikely to cause death
B. are always kept secret from the public
C. can only happen in underdeveloped countries
D. may happen in any country that has nuclear power station
58. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl many people in Britain ______.
A. still believed it could not happen in their country
B. were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe
C. accepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil
D. supported nuclear power station because world fuel supplies were low
59. The British Government refused to publish the report on the Cumbria accident because ______.
A. Britain’s supplies of oil, coal and gas were running out
B. it takes thirty years for the effects of radiation to appear
C. fewer people died in that accident than in other types of accidents
D. it was concerned that the Britain people would doubt their country’s nuclear expertise
(B)
Why should anyone want to set aside a day to honour a lowly little groundhog (土拨鼠)? The answer to that question is not certain, but a group of people get together every February 2 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to watch Punxsutawney “Pete” leave his burrow. What “Pete” does next, many believe, will show whether spring is just around the corner or a long way off. You see, in Pennsylvania on this date there is usually a great deal of snow on the ground, and the little animal has been hibernating during the long, cold winter. He filled himself during the autumn months and then went into his burrow for a long sleep, his body far helping keep him alive. But as he appears on February 2, he looks very thin. If the sun is shining brightly and he sees his shadow, according to old stories, it frightens him back into his home where he will stay another six weeks. Should it be cloudy and gray, the little animal will supposedly walk around for food – a sure sign that spring is near. While many believe in the groundhog’s information about future happening, it is unwise to accept them as a fact.
60. According to this passage, why do people gather every year to watch the groundhog?
A. He’s clever and playful, and children love to watch him.
B. He’s looking for food and the people want to help him find it in the snow.
C. Many people believe him to be a sign of the coming of spring.
D. The people want to be sure he is alive after such a long winter.
61. How does the groundhog manage to stay alive during the long winter?
A. People send out food for him.
B. He stores body fat before winter comes.
C. He wakes up on nice days and hunts for food.
D. It is something unknown to people.
62. What information does the groundhog supposedly give?
A. If he sees his shadow, it will soon be spring.
B. If he sees his shadow, spring will not arrive for another six weeks.
C. If he does not see his shadow, spring will arrive in six weeks.
D. If he does not see his shadow, all the snow will disappear immediately.
63. What does the word “burrow” means in the passage? It means “_______”.
A. hole in the wall B. cave
C. underground hole D. cottage on a hill
C
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
64. Which of the following statements about fox hunting in Britain is best supported by the passage?
A. The hunters have set rules to follow.
B. The hunters use a deadly poison when hunting foxes.
C. Farmers take part in fox hunting regularly.
D. There are farmers among hunt saboteurs.
65. What does the phrase “pass off” (Line 4, Paragraph 4) probably mean?
A. start B. end C. take place D. go forth
66. How does most hunt saboteurs interfere in fox hunting?
A. They resort to(凭借) legal forces.
B. They try to confuse the hunters.
C. They often appeal to violence.
D. They poison the dogs used in the hunt.
67. It is suggested in the last paragraph that a new law may be passed to ______.
A. forbid using dogs in hunting B. prevent hunting foxes with dogs
C. prohibit hunting of wild animals D. stop farmers from killing foxes
(D)

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to find children something to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are strictly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality(普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and have not been subject(臣服于) to technological development that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.
72. The purpose of the writer in this passage is to ______.
A. compare the difference between boy’s toys and girl’s toys
B. discuss the historical development of toys
C. illustrate the significance of toys to humans
D. point out limitations of the toys of different periods
73. What determines the kinds of toys that girls would play with?
A. Their mothers’ professions. B. Their own habits.
C. Their social roles. D. Their routine activities.
74. The example of a rattle is used to show that ______.
A. toys are characterized by technological progress
B. craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged
C. toys play an active part in shaping a child’s character
D. even a simple toy can reflect the artistic tastes of the times
75. The conclusion that toys produced in next fifty years will remain basically the same as those today is ______.
A. false B. reasonable C. unproved D. far-fetched

One possible version:
With the increase of the number of private cars in recent years, there have been more traffic accidents in our city. According to a police report, 401 traffic accidents happened in the year 2005, with an economic loss of about 25,000,000 yuan. 106 people were killed and 292 injured in these accidents, which made up nearly a third of all accidents. What’s more, traffic accidents are tending to increase.
Most road accidents are caused by driving against traffic regulations or by careless driving. Some pedestrians also disobey traffic rules. Therefore, people must be constantly warned of the danger on the road. The police should enforce the regulations strictly. Everyone should obey traffic rules for the safety of all the people.
