havent got any water with me.”“Help me！” shouted Gray，“Im a rich man.a millionaire.Ill give you anything.”“Thats very nice of you，old boy，”said the man.“Look，I cant give you any water，but would you like to buy my tie？”“A tie？Of course not！”screamed Gray，and crawled away.He crawled slowly up the next sand dune.His mouth was full of sand.His lips were cracked (破裂) and dry.He couldnt breathe.He reached the top of the dune and there he saw a huge good hotel.Girls were swimming in the large swimming pool.Beautiful fountains (喷泉) were all around the hotel.“Is it a mirage (幻景)？” he thought.“Am I

clean shirt，so he had to find another one.The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing，so he ironed it.While he was ironing it，there was a knock at the door.It was the man who was to read the electricity meter (表)He showed him where the meter was，said goodbye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt.So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all.By this time it was very late，so he decided he couldnt go to work by bus.He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work.The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town，a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.When Harrys taxi stopped outside his office，a policeman happened to be standing there.He saw the blood on Harrys shirt，and took him

skirts to the ankle.Today，some skirts are even longer than before，but some are very short.Womens shoes have also gone through all sorts of boots for women，which were very common at the beginning of this century.Then for years，they were not considered fashionable.Today，theyre back again in all colours，lengths and materials.In fact，todays women can wear all types of clothes on almost any occasion.While all of these changes were taking place in womens fashions，mens clothing remained almost the same until a few years ago.And，in fact，most men are still dressed in the kinds of clothes they used to wear.64What kind of skirts do women like to wear today?ALong skirts.BShort skirts.CBoth long skirts and short skirts.DNeither long skirts nor short skirts.65Now boots are considered _

clothes，shoes and so on always changeDMost animals have little connection with animals of a different kind，unless they hunt them for food.Sometimes，however，two kinds of animals come together in a partnership，which does good to both of them.You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep.This is not because they want a ride，but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep.The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort.So although they can manage without each other，they do better together.Sometimes an animal has a plant partner.The relationship develops until the two partners cant manage without each other.This is so in the corals of the sea.In their skins they have tiny plants act as “dustmen”，taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe.If the plants are killed，or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally，the corals will die.68Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_.Athey can eat its parasitesBthey depend on the sheep for existenceCthey enjoy travelling with the sheepDthey find the position with the sheep69The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to_.Abirds and parasitesBbirds and sheepCparasites and sheepDsheep，birds and parasites70.It can be learned from the text that the coral depends on the plant for_.Acomfort BlightCfood Doxygen第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Many people need guidance in choosing a career
