A
There is no other five-year-old like him. He has a potato-shaped head, thick eyebrows and a voice that is not easily forgotten. He is not evil, but trouble follows him wherever he goes.
Crayon Shinchan（蜡笔小新） enjoys great popularity in China. He has many fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and on the mainland. And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, Japan.
But, the trouble-maker’s show was ranked（陈列） the No.1 most unwanted cartoon program by Japan’s Parents’ Association on April 18.
More than half the parents who took part in the study thought Shinchan was a negative role model for children. They believed his actions and speech were adult in nature and not suitable for kids.
Many parents and education experts in China agree with them. Shinchan, they say, is really offensive. He looks out for pretty ladies on the street; at the bookstore he reads magazines full of sexy women; he pretends to be kidnapped（绑架） by his teacher when he sees a police car; and he raises his mum’s skirt and shouts out the color of her underpants（内裤）if she doesn’t buy him what he wants.
“Crayon Shinchan is full of dirty humor. The boy shows some terrible adult mentality（心态）, which doesn’t match his age,” said Pang Lijuan, professor of the Education Department at Beijing Normal University.
Pang further pointed out that Shinchan destroys the traditional image of a polite, hard-working boy. She fears that some teens may copy his behavior and harm their psychological（心理的） development.
Pang and many others in China think that Shinchan is a cartoon for adults----not for children.
But some kids disagree. Jiang xin, a Senior 2 student in Luhe Middle School in Beijing, became a fan of Shinchan after he first saw the cartoon two years ago. He said it is Shinchan’s humor, courage, and cleverness that makes him and his friends love the little cartoon character. “Shinchan looks at the adults’ world with kid’s eyes. He uncovers the hypocrisy（虚伪） and selfishness in a childish way,” explained Jiang. “We watch it just for fun.”
But Jiang also admitted that Shinchan is not good for all ages. “It may not be suitable for primary school kids. They may try to blindly copy him.”
Shinchan’s “father”, Japan’s popular cartoonist, Yoshito Usui, never thought Shinchan would cause such a heated discussion.
He argued that Shinchan is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men. The boy does everything adults would like, but don’t dare, to do. “People can easily forgive him because he’s only five years old,” said Yoshito.
56. Teachers and parents disliked Crayon Shinchan because .
A. he looks very ugly B. he caused a heated discussion
C. the character was created by an adult cartoonist
D. he was regarded as a negative role model for children to follow
57. According to the passage, it’s likely that Crayon Shinchan will NOT .
A. stare at beautiful sexy girls B. read books for adults only
C. work hard at his homework D. cheat on the exams at school
58. Many children are crazy about Shinchan mainly because .
A. he looks very funny
B. the cartoon character is suitable for all ages
C. they think he is humorous, clever and brave
D. he is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men
59. The underlined word “offensive” in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. humorous B. ugly-looking C. funny D. unpleasant
B
Los Angeles---- Say it’s Mickey Mouse, say it’s Goofy, but 35 years after Walt Disney’s death, he is having a successful career as an adviser.
Disney’s quotes（引用）are not as widely known as those of Benkamin Franklin or Winston Churchill, but Walt is increasingly mentioned, especially in business books, where such Disney sayings as “If you can dream it, you can do it” are fast becoming favorites.
Never regarded in life as particularly clever, Walt isn’t known to have said anything that sings like Churchill’s “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma（谜）.” But however common the phrasing, Walt’s humor and wisdom are often quoted by today’s business writers.
Now, more than 200 of Walt’s best sayings have been collected in the book ‘The Quotable Walt Disney.”
The little square book is filled with common sense sayings.
Animation（卡通制作）, the theme parks, and making your dreams come true are favorite subjects.
And because Disney was frequently asked the secret of his success, it is no surprise to read, among Walt’s explanations; “I suppose my formula（准则） might be; dream, diversify（使多样化）---- and never miss an angle.”
Business consultant Bill Capodagli of Indianapolis, Indiana, is one of several authors who advice their readers to use Disney’s principles as a model for how to run a business. Capodagli is the co-author of “The Disney Way: Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company” and “ The Disney Way Field book: How to Implement Walt Disney’s Vision of Dream, Believe, are and Do in Your Own Company” from Mc-Graw-Hill.
One critic（批评家） described the book as “so useful you may whistle while you work”.
Those who actually knew Walt don’t remember him as being particularly talk-
ative or flattering（讨人喜欢）, especially employees who felt his anger. And while he loved to have clever people working for him, he had little tolerance（宽容） for the self-important. As he said: “Whenever I don’t have the answer to something, I find someone who does.”
Many businessmen found their favorite quote as “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing----that it was all started by a mouse.”
60. What can be learned about Walt Disney from the first two paragraphs?
A. He once worked as a very successful adviser.
B. He was not famous as Benjamin Franklin or Winston Churchill.
C. His words and sayings are of great help to today’s businessmen.
D. He is becoming increasingly popular around the world as a cartoon-maker.
61. Which is NOT true about Walt Disney’s sayings?
A. His sayings are not so clever as Winston Churchill’s.
B. More business writers are beginning to quote his sayings in their books.
C. His sayings are mainly about animation, the theme parks and making dreams come true.
D. Bill Capodagli must think highly of Walt Disney’s common sense sayings.
62. Which would Walt Disney probably disagree about how to be successful?
A. People have to work hard.
B. People need have a dream and plan.
C. People should look at things from different sides.
D. Everyone should learn from his common sense sayings.
63. Which can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?
A. The critic mentioned in the passage didn’t think much of Disney’s sayings.
B. People around Disney all found it very hard to get along well with him.
C. Clever and self-important employees were greatly valued by Walt Disney.
D. The last paragraph infers that small things can lead to great successes.

Pigs, fishponds and crops- all housed in tall buildings. This is a vision of industrials farming in the Netherlands（荷兰）. In a world concerned about the environment and transport, would it not make sense to concentrate food production next to a harbor and an airport? And since humans can live in tall buildings, why not pigs and fish?
The creative minds behind a government report suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam very close to mainland Europe’s largest port.
The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, a total of 500 acres（亩） stretching skywards. The building, known as Deltapark, Visualizes （让人想象到）300,000 pigs, 1.2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof. The pigs could enjoy mre space than on an average peg farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs. Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms which grow well in the dark.
Higher up, greenhouses full of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solution collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light. The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and everything being recycled.
Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers. It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper. But the idea has created a heated debate（讨论） in the Netherlands and attracted attention abroad.
67.According to the passage, in the Netherlands a multi-story farm
A. is under construction
B. is about to be put to use
C. has been put forward for consideration
D. might cause severe criticism
68.The underlined word “slaughterhouse” in paragraph 3 probably means
A. a house where animals are fed
B. a house where animals are kept in the daytime
C. a place where animals stay for the night
D. a place where animals are killed for food
69.It is supposed in Paragraph 4 that
A.the flowers would be nourished by liquids gathered outside the building
B. the tomatoes and flowers would benefit from daylight
C. the vegetable growing area would be lit by electric lights
D. the system would be far from self-sufficient in production
70.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Farm Buildings of Future? B. Animals in Tall Buildings?
C. Deltapark as Big as 10 Football Fields.
D. Animal Farm or Vegetable Farm?

Train travel and Air Travel
Air travel has two advantages over train travel. First, it can save much time. We can fly from Beijing to Guangzhu just in two hours, but by train, we have to spend 21 hours or more. Second, air travel is more comfortable, because the plane flies so smoothly that we can rest well during the trip, while the train is crowded sometimes and passengers have to sit a long time, which makes them tired. But train travel also has its advantages. For example, traveling by train costs only 250 yuan while traveling by air will cost us 900 yuan. Besides this, outside the train’s windows, we can enjoy the views of many big cities, such as Jian, Zhengzhou, Wuhan and Changsha. So I think different people like different ways of traveling.
