“Fire！Fire！”What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night！I jumped out of the bed，opened the door and stepped out.It was full of thick smoke.
I began to run，but instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window.But before I could reach it，one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down.The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes，and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat.Just then the floor gave away under me and I crashed to the floor below.
I saw a doorway in front of me; put the bundle over my face and ran.I got through.As I reached the cold air outside，my bundle of clothes gave a low cry.I nearly dropped it in surprise.
“My baby！My baby！”a woman cried.I had saved the baby!

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The old town of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, stands in the northwest of Yunnan province, surrounded by elegant green trees with Lijiang Dam cutting through the center of the town. The old town is said to look like a huge ink slab(调墨台) and the Chinese name for the town, Dayan, means as “great ink slab” in English.
As a political and economic center since old times, Lijiang Town was built at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, when Kublai Khan conquered(征服) Dali. The town was built to its present scale during the Southern Song Dynasty.
Different from any other place, Lijiang town doesn't follow traditional Chinese architectural street design. Lanes are arranged here at random(随意的); city walls are removed from the layout (布局)；and three rivers(the east, the middle and the west) run through the town. What is also unusual about the town is that every house has access to water. Locals name the city “Oriental Venice”. In a sense, Lijiang is not only of Chinese typical tradition in architectural style, but is also an architectural recreation of Naxi traditions and customs. The houses in Lijiang are characterized by their unique design, too. Most buildings are traditional Chinese style, and surrounded by small courtyards.
Lijiang is located on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, Lijing is famous for its beautiful mountains, old towns and villages and the survival(幸存)of one of the world's oldest folk cultures.
There is a wealth of natural beauty here. The attractive Yulong Snow Mountain, is one of the greatest mountains in China, with a total of thirteen peaks. At the first bend of the Yangtze River, because of the obstruction(阻塞) of mountain ranges, the river makes a detour, forming a huge V shape. Following the river downstream, you'll arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge(峡谷)，which has long been considered one of the most magnificent gorges in the world.
Lijiang is not only the center of the Dongba culture of the Naxi minority group, but also the place where Han, Tibetan and Bai cultures mix together. The old city of Lijiang is full of atmosphere, too.
56．What is the text mainly about?
A．The old town of Lijiang is a political and economical center.
B．The beauty of the old town of Lijiang.

Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns(客栈) instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America's bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms. Others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone's home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationists say they enjoy the chance to meet local families.
60．Americans take a holiday trip ________.

Sydney-At least 65 deaths are being reported after a powerful earthquake struck the New Zealand city, Christchurch. Buildings have fallen down, causing fears that many people could be trapped in the rubble(瓦砾)．
The US Geological Survey says the 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Christchurch at lunchtime Tuesday, when one of New Zealand's key cities was at its busiest.
The police think that many lives have been lost, including passengers aboard when two buses were crushed by falling debris. Television reports show injured people being helped by rescuers along destroyed streets. Emergency workers and volunteers carry others from buildings as panic spread.
One survivor said, “I've never been in an earthquake. It just came and we couldn't get out. It had all fallen down and all the doors were shut. We had to smash the window out.”
Another said, “It is surreal. It is like a dream and you are going to wake up any minute.”
Christchurch was hit by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake last September and a series of aftershocks has struck the city ever since.
Many older buildings in the downtown fell down, and Christchurch cathedral was ruined. Power and telephone lines were cut in some places. Some roads caved in(下陷)and at least one bridge was damaged. Thousands of people have fled buildings and gathered in the streets as a series of aftershocks hit.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said that those affected would get the help they need and the government stood alongside them for however long it took to repair and rebuild their homes.
New Zealand experiences more than 14, 000 earthquakes each year. It lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the world's most seismically active regions (地震活跃带), stretching from North America to the South Pacific, and then north again, to Japan.
64．What is the passage mainly about?
A．A terrible earthquake hit Christchurch, in New Zealand.
B．Reach out to help the people of Christchurch.
C．The terrible sight caused by the earthquake in Christchurch.
D．The hard life in Christchurch after the earthquake.
答案 A [主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，根据第一段的内容可知，一场地震袭击了Christchurch。]
65．The earthquake happened on about ________.
A．8：00 am B．10：00 am C．2：00 pm D．noon
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段的at lunchtime Tuesday可知，地震大约发生在中午时间。]
66．The underlined word “surreal” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A．strange B．wonderful
C．active D．interesting
答案 A [词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的like a dream可知，这位幸存者对这次地震感到不可思议。]

When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard：“Will my baby be able to learn my language？” Be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is：“No”．
New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this：“Click here to download your digital book”？ Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.
Sometimes,_you_have_the_word_on_the_tip_of_your_tongue..._and_it_sticks_there! But you do know this phenomenon(现象)and don't think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.
You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(记忆术). The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word.
67．From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A．there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language
B．it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don't know
C．a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongue
D．people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language
答案 A [推理判断题。从第一段的“Be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is: ‘No'.”可知，一个人既然连自己的母语的词汇都不可能全认识，那么在学习外语时，也没有必要记住所有的词汇。]
68．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A．you can remember the word any time
B．you just fail to remember the word
C．you are not sure of the word
D．you daren't open your mouth to speak the word
