It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems. How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “ I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where’s a phone box?” “Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.” When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “ Don’t worry,” she said to me, “ I had so many difficulties at first. There are lost of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!” 56. Where was the writer from? A. He was from America. B. He was from France C. He was from England D. He was from China 57. The writer thought ______ in America. A. he wouldn’t have any language difficulties B. he would not understand the Americans C. the Americans might not understand him D. he would have difficulties at the airport 58. The writer wanted________. A. to buy a ring for his friend B. to make a call to his friend C. to go to the telephone company C. his friend to see him off 59. From the passage , we can see that “give somebody a ring”______. A. means the same in America as in England B. means “call somebody” to the old man C. means “be going to get married” D. has two different meanings in America and in England 60. In the last paragraph, the word “they” refers to _______. A. the old man and the boy B. the Americans C. the British D. the French B People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually cannot see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are not careful. They have to look and listen before they cross the road. If a car or a bus is going very fast, it cannot stop very quickly. People don’t always understand this. They think a car can stop within a few meters. The faster a car is running, the longer it takes to stop. It is very difficult for a person to know how far a car is running. The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. Then if you make sure there aren’t any cars coming on the road, it is safe to cross. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It is not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. 61. Children are often killed when crossing the road because . A, they are not careful enough. B. they cannot see clearly C. they walk too slowly D. they are very small 62. When you cross the road, you' d better A. run as quickly as possible B. try to stop the car C. look carefully and walk quickly D. ask somebody to help you 63. It is for a driver to stop his car at once when he finds something wrong some meters in front of him. A. easy B. hard C. possible D. bad 64. Which of the following sentences is Not true? A. Never cross the road when you see some cars running. B. Most old people walk slowly and can’t see well. C. The writer asks people to be careful with the traffic. Run across the road when a car or a bus is coming on the road. 65.What is the purpose of the passage? A. Explain the reasons for traffic accidents. B. Tell us how to be safe on the street. C. Warn drivers to drive slowly on the street. Ask the readers to help the old when they cross the street. C Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “ ‘Robot’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity! The “ rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building(but only after an earthquake, of course). 66. In the earthquake capitals of the world, rats will become man’s best friends because they can _______. A. take the place of man’s rescue jobs B. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings D. get into small spaces 67.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person alive by _____. the noise made by the rat the rat’s unusual behavior the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back the smell given off by the person 68.In doing rescue jobs,_______. rats smell better than dogs dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots 69.Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ______. they are more fantastic than other animals they are less expensive to train than dogs they don’t need electricity they are small and can get into small places 70. After reading the passage we can know _______. A. at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people B. the “rat project ” has been completed C. people are now happy to see a rat in a building D. now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues  D China awarded 50 youngsters Friday evening for their bravery in the rescue after the May 12 earthquake that jolted the southwestern Sichuan Province. Li Changchun attended the ceremony（仪式） and conferred awards to the young ethic models chosen by more than 50 million votes by telephone calls, fax and E-mails since the nationwide selection campaign was launched on June 6. Li Changchun poses with honored youngsters in Beijing, capital of China, June 27, 2008. Li Changchun attended a party for honored heroic youngsters in the quake areas in Beijing on Friday. Lin Hao, a 9-year-old boy in Yingxiu Township, Wenchuan County who pulled out two classmates from the ruins, and other 19 students were awarded the honor of "heroic children" in quake rescue and relief, while the other 30 were titled "exemplary(模范的；典型的) children". At the ceremony, Li Changchun said the heroic and moving deeds of these children have provided "vivid" models for ethic education and values shaping in the country. And he hugs Lin Hao and other models at the ceremony. As part of the award, four senior high school graduates （毕业生）were enrolled by higher learning institutions without taking entrance examinations, including the prestigious Beijing University and Qinghua University.
