What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?___71___ Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

___73___A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.___74___ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday.

Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County.

The Siberian tiger, mistakenly trapped but intentionally(故意的)eaten by the farmers, was an endangered animal which is under the first-class state protection in the country. The farmers, living in a village very close to forests, used to trap wild animals like roe deer and hares when the dying tiger unfortunately caught in their trap in February 2003.

Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law. They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said.

Six days later they secrectly carried home the tiger that had died of hunger as they had expected.The two farmers burnt the tiger’s skin, ate its meat and hid away the bones, according to the court. The crime was uncovered and reported to the police about a year later and the transgressors(违反者)were arrested on Jan.16, 2004.

64.When the two farmers found the tiger trapped, they ______________.

A.wanted to kill it for its skin

B.were pleased to have the chance to eat its meat

C.hoped to sell it at good price

D.reported the case to some departments of the government

65.After reading the passage, we know that ___________.

A.roe deer are being well protected

B.the Siberian tigers do no harm to people

C.China values the protection of endangered animals

D.farmers in Dongning County won’t like endangered wild animal species any longer

66.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Tigers Are Endangering

C.Tigers Are Well Protected in China

67.The right statement of the following about the tiger is ____________.

A powerful earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale shook Haiti on Tuesday, causing several buildings to collapse in the Western hemisphere's poorest nation and leading to an unknown number of fatalities(死亡), officials and witnesses said.

The earthquake was centered just 10 miles southwest of the crowded and impoverished(贫困的)capital of Port-au-Prince(太子港).Making matters worse, the earthquake was relatively shallow, at a depth of five miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said Shallow earthquakes can cause more damage.

“I think it's really a huge catastrophe,” Haiti's ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Alcide Joseph, told Cable News Network.

An Associated Press(美联社)videographer saw the ruins of a hospital in Petionville, near Port-au-Prince. Reuters(路透社)news agency said several buildings had crumbled in the capital and that there were dead and injured trapped in the rubble.

At least 1.8 million people live within the area where the earthquake had its highest intensity, John Bellini, a geophysicist at the USGS, told The Wall Street Journal. “With a strong and shallow earthquake like this in such a populated area, it could really cause substantial damage.” he said.

“The quake was the most powerful to hit Haiti since at least 1770. This isn't normally an earthquake-prone(地震频发)area.” Mr. Bellini added.

Within minutes of the original quake, two aftershocks rolled through the area, measuring 5.9 and 5.5 on the Richter scale.

60.   The main purpose of this passage is to ________.

A. tell people some disasters are very dangerous.

B. introduce some common sense of natural disasters.

C. appeal to readers for help, love and support.

D. present some information of Haiti’s earthquake this year.

61.What can we learn from John Bellini’s words?

A. The earthquake which took place in Port-au-Prince was strong and shallow.

B. Thanks to the shallow earthquake, it did little damage to Port-au-Prince.

C. Earthquakes occur frequently in the area of Port-au-Prince,capital of Haiti.

D. At least 1770 people lost their lives in the earthquake.

62.   The underlined word catastrophe is closest in meaning to __________.

A. problem                   B. disaster                    C. phenomenon             D. news

63.   How many earthquakes of Haiti are mentioned in this article?

Although hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck. El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995, was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.

Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane's wake.

Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.

Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2005 season.

"It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land," NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.

Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.

This year's forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.

"The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.

60.Which of the following is the 2005 first hurricane?

A.Charley.   B.Adrian.    C.Jeanne.    D.Frances.

61.How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text?

A.Six. B.Nine.       C.Five.       D.Three.

62.We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ______.

A.have nothing to do with the hurricane

B.cause less hurricane

C.are more likely to cause the hurricanes

D.do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast

63.The passage implies that _______.

A.hurricane season comes early this year

B.every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land

C.hurricane often comes in winter and spring

D.tropical storm is more severe than hurricane

Glynis Davis:

I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.

Roz Jumab:

To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.

Lesley Codwin:

I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look into the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem—perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.

Ros Landfod:

Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet…I’m really good on a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate—my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.

1.What do you think the four women were all talking about?

A.Their own slimming matter.      B.Their life after marriage.

C.Their work as a housewife.       D.Different diets they prefer.

2.Where are these short passage most likely to be taken from?

A.Talks on the air.       B.Advertisements on the wall.

C.Book in a library.      D.Magazines for housewives.

3.What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?

A.The coach in the slimming club.B.Some tool to measure weight.

C.Glynis Davis’ dear husband.    D.The salesperson in a food shop.

4.What can we infer from Roz Jumab’s words?

A.Losing weight is a painful process which is unbearable.

B.Being thin can also be harmful.

C.It is necessary to force ourselves to lose weight.

D.We should learn to live comfortably with the way we look.

5.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?

1.Glynis Davis    2.Roz Jumab   3.Lesley Codwinc   4.Ros Langfodd

a.I put on weight soon after I got married. b.Fame doesn’t necessarily mean success.

c.Facts speak much louder than words.  d.I like myself as I am, and to be what you are.
