Needless to say, I followed him around all the time. Our favorite thing was going to yard sales. We were always on the go until that day in June 2004. That day would slow us down forever.My dad began to smoke when he was 13 years old and he never thought about quitting smoking. He had a terrible cough for the longest time. However, he was so busy supporting the family that he wouldnt go to the doctor until his chest pains grew unbearable. But when he finally did, he got terrible news: he was diagnosed (诊断) with lung cancer, due to years of smoking.From that day on, we were living on the edge. Daddy didnt really get down until Sept. 2004 and from then on, he would never be able to walk again. My dad used to be full of jokes and laughter, but the cancer took them all away and replaced them with pains and tears.In the last week of my fathers life, he couldnt even speak. The night before my dad died in Nov. 12, 2004, the nurse asked my mom if she would like to lie next to him.

He died in the early morning with my mom in his arms. We do consider this a blessing. Many people have died in a more terrible and upsetting way.After my father died, I was changed forever.

The paddock (小围场) was overcrowded and the hill was simply a mass of human beings. almost everyone in Melbourne went to the Spring racing.Australasian Newspaper (1871)Today, the Melbourne Cup is a 3200-meter race for thoroughbred horses (纯种马) of 3 years and over. The Melbourne Cup has a long tradition, with the first race held in 1861. The Melbourne Cup quickly became popular as a carnival (狂欢节) with picnic parties, performances, celebrations and people showing off their latest fashions. In 1861, in front of the crowd of about 4000 people, Archer became the first winner of the Melbourne Cup. The 1938 Melbourne Cup was won by trainer Mrs. Allan McDonald. Mrs McDonald was a successful trainer in New Zealand. However, at the time, women were not allowed to compete as trainers in Australia so her husbands name was officially recorded as the winning trainer. The 2001 edition was won by New Zealand Ethereal, trained by Sheila Laxon, the first woman to formally train a Melbourne Cup winner.In 1880, about 100,000 people made the journey to Flemington to attend the Cup. As Melbournes population was only about 290,000 at the time, this attendance was quite amazing, and many visitors came from the country and other Australian colonies, too.The race has experienced several changes in recent years, and the most obvious one is the entry of many foreign-trained horses. Although the Cup was first run on a Thursday, in 1875 it was run on a Tuesday and has normally been held on the first Tuesday in November each year. In three of the five years during World War II (1942, 1943 and 1944) it was held on a Saturday.The Melbourne Cup is a national symbol in Australia and the event is known locally as “the race that stops a nation”. Melbourne Cup day has been a public holiday in Melbourne.60.

What can we know about the Melbourne Cup?A. Archer won the first Melbourne Cup.B. Sheila Laxon is the first winning trainer.C. Mrs McDonald did well in the 2001 Melbourne Cup.D. All horses running fast can attend the Melbourne Cup.62. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?A. The dates of the Melbourne Cup.B. The feature of the Melbourne Cup.C. The history of the Melbourne Cup.D. The changes of the Melbourne Cup.63. What can we infer from the passage?A. Australia is known for the Melbourne Cup.B. Melbourne Cup day is a nationwide public holiday.C. Australians dont need to work during the Melbourne Cup.D. Melbourne attaches much importance to the Melbourne Cup.CMoose (驼鹿), which weigh up to 700 kilograms, can be dangerous to people. They can cause deadly traffic accidents and also can harm people and other animals by stepping on them. Wildlife biologists in the U.S. are trying to get a correct count of this kind of big animals.The counting is being done in Alaskas largest city, Anchorage. Recently, many moose have been found in this city. The officials tried to get their count, but the problem is that the animals continually move and the city covers an area of over 5,000 square kilometers.In the past, officials used low-flying airplanes to watch for moose on the ground to get their count. But rules from the citys airport now bar such flights, so Alaskas Department of Fish and Game is experimenting with a new method for counting the citys moose. The researchers are trying to collect genetic material called DNA from moose. They say this will allow them to get a more accurate (精确的) result without having to catch them.Biologists sought help from the public during their three-day project last month. They asked people to call or send text messages to report when they saw a moose. Teams of moose hunters then quickly drove to the areas. The teams shot the moose with special darts (飞镖) designed to get small pieces of skin and hair. The darts were weighted so that they could fall off the moose and then the material could be collected. The skin and fur were then taken to a laboratory to be studied. Researchers say the darts do not hurt the animals.Biologist Dave Battle led the project. “Theres really been no technique up until now. And its something weve been beating our brains out to work on for the last couple of years,” he said.Battle says the technology is allowing officials to improve their knowledge and management of the moose population in the Anchorage area. But he adds that it will take some time to study the DNA material to come up with specific numbers.64. What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. The city is known for its special moose.B. The process of counting the moose is not easy.C. The number of the moose in the city is increasing.D. The officials regard the moose as a serious city problem.65. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Prevent.B. Support.C. Predict.D. Research.66. Why do researchers collect DNA from the moose?A. To study their movements.B. To get the number of the moose.C. To drive away the moose in the city.D. To work out ways of making them live longer.67. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. The reasons for studying the moose.B. The purposes of counting the moose.C. The way of collecting genetic material from the moose.D. The value of studying genetic material from the moose.DA tax designed to make an extra 86m ($114m) for the French government would not normally be a story to report. But when a French government committee suggested a 1% tax on all devices that could connect to the Internet, it became big news. It is hoped that the tax can help protect “French cultural products” things like music and film. And the move shows the level of fear felt in France that its culture is being killed by a global invasion (全球入侵).But should governments be worried that their national culture is being destroyed by globalization? A recent paper by Fernando Ferreira and Joel Waldfogel focuses on the music industry, looking at charts (排行榜) from 22 countries from 1960 to 2007. And the evidence suggests that globalization is not such a main factor as some might think.When the Beatles were taking off, the future for “domestic (国内的) music” that is, music produced and consumed (消费) in the same country looked hopeless. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the amount of domestic music fell sharply: Italians were listening to relatively less Italian music and relatively more American music. By 1985, consumers spent as much time listening to foreign bands as domestic groups. But from the low point of the mid-1980s, the picture changed. We have now reached a level of domestic consumption not seen for 50 years, with 70% of listening time devoted to domestic tunes. People increasingly seem to prefer domestic entertainment to foreign entertainment.Why is this? Improved communication networks make a big difference. People might think that the Internet would make consumers music choices more global. But the spread of the Internet has actually enabled the spread of local
