Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes . People are rushing excitedly into the streets . The police have warned them not to see the fire but many people are doing so .The cause of the fire is unknown . No rain has fallen in this part of Australia for three months, and the hot , north-west wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour .The firefighters are travelling to the fire by road, rail and air. But it is not easy to get there. Flames and fallen trees have cut off or blocked roads and railway lines. The thick smoke often prevents them from finding the air strips (飞机跑道).It is said that the fire has brought the greater danger to the country since the Second World War.56By the time the article was written , the fire .Ahad just broken out Bhad been put out Cwas spreading vilently (猛烈地)Dwas coming to an end 57The writer wrote this article mainly to tell people .Athe fire was terrible and dangerous Bit was impossible to put out the fire Cmore than one hundred people died of the fire Dto join in the fight against the fire 58In the 4th paragraph , the writer suggested that .Athe fire would soon be controlled by the firefighters Bit would be very difficult to put out the fire Cthe government was paying great attention to the fire Dthe fire had caused great losses and the airport was in ganger 59The underlined word “ accurate” in the first sentence has the same meaning as .Arecent Bwhole Crough （大体的）Dexact BThis year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes . They will attend U. S. schools , meet U.S. teen-agers , and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world .Here is a two-way student exchange in action . Fred , nineteen ,spent last year in Gemany with Georges family . In turn , Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America .Fred , a lively young man , knew little German when he arrived , but after two months study , the language began to come to him . School was completely different from what he had expected - much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room . They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States . There were almost no outside activities .Family life , too , was different . The fathers word was law , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual (个人). Fred found the food too simple at first . Also , he missed having a car .“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time . In Germany , you walk , but you soon learn to like it .”At the same time , in America , Mike , a friendly German boy , was also forming his idea . “I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools .” He says , “it is far too easy by our level . But I have to say that I like it very much . In Germany we do nothing but study . Here we take part in many outside activities . I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens . There ought to be some middle ground between the two .”60The whole exchange programme is mainly to .Ahelp teen-agers in other countries know the real America Bsend students in America to travel in Germany Clet students learn something about other countries Dhave teen-agers learn new languages 61Fred and Mike agreed that .AAmerican food tasted better than German food BGerman schools were harder than American schools CAmericans and Germans were both friendly Dthere were more cars on the streets in America 62What is particular in American school is that .Athere is some middle ground between the two teaching building Bthere are a lot of after-school activitiesCstudents usually take fourteen subjects in all Dstudents go outside to enjoy themselves in a car 63After experiencing the American school life , Mike thought .Aa better education should include something good from both America and Germany BGerman schools trained students to be better citizens .CAmerican schools were not as good as German schools Dthe easy life in the American schools was more helpful to the students .CIn one way of thinking , failure is a part of life . In another way , failure may be a way towards success . The “spider story” often told , Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13th century , was hiding in a cave from the English . He watched a spider spinning a web . The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock . He tried six times without success . On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web . Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English Edison , the inventor of the light bulb , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one .So what ? First , always think about your failure . What caused it ?Were conditions right ? Were you in top form yourself ? What can you change so things will go right next time ?Second , is the goal(目标)youre trying to reach the right one ? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be . Think about this question .“ If I do succeed in this , where will it get me ?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway .The third thing is to bear in mind that failure is a part of life . Learn to “ live with yourself” even though you may have failed . Remember , “You cant win them all .”64This passage deals with two sides of failure . In paragraph 1 , the author talks mainly about .Athe value of failure Bhow people would fail Cfamous failuresDthe cause of failure 65The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems .Aproductive Bstraight forward Csad Ddeep 66The author tells you to do all things except .Ato think about the cause of your failure Bto check out whether your goals are right for you Cto consider failure as a part of life Dto bear in mind that you will never fail in your life 67Which of the following is NOT true ?ABruce and Edison were successful examples .BFailure may be regarded as a way towards success .CEdison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce .DOne may often raise a question whether his goals are worth trying .DAt Harton Collegean English boarding school for boys there are many rules . 15-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them .The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class . But they must return to the school at six oclock . One afternoon Bob walked to the town . He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema . After the film , he looked at his watch . It was after eight oclock . He was a little worried . He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible .When he arrived , he ran quickly to the main entrance . It was locked . He went round the school building to another door , which was locked too . He looked up at the window of his dormitory on the third floor . The window was open . But it was quite dark , and he could not climb up the wall easily . Then he saw another open window on the ground floor . It was the window of the headmasters study .He looked into the room no one was there . Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill（窗台）and jumped into the room . Just then he heard a noise . Then someone turned on a light in the corridor（走廊）. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa . One minute later , Mr. Mannering , the headmaster , came in . He turned on the light on his desk , and sat down on the sofa . Then he opened a book and began to read .Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible . He couldnt move . The floor was cold and uncomfortable . He looked at the headmasters shoes and socks for an hour .“Why doesnt he get up and go to bed ?” Bob thought .Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour . Finally , the headmaster closed his book and stood up .He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door .“Thanks heavens , he didnt find me under the sofa ,” thought Bob .Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa . “ Would you turn off the light when you leave ?” He said , and left the study .68Bob didnt go to his dormitory because .Aits door was locked Bthe window was shut Cit was quite dark Dthe wall was too high for him to climb up 69Who had turned on a light in the corridor ?ABob himself BAnother pupil CAn office clerk DMr. Mannering 70When the headmaster came in , Bob .Awas sitting on the sofa Bwas lying under the sofa Chid himself behind the bookshelf Dhid himself under the sofa 71It can be inferred that Mr . Mannering .Aknew that Bob was still at the cinema Bknew that Bob was in the dormitory Cknew exactly where Bob was Ddidnt know clearly where Bob was EFor years, many people would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways. Study shows, however, that tobacco isnt one single thing. At least 60% of it is gas20 different kinds of gas. And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide (CO)（一氧化碳）.In factories, the amount of this gas in the air is measured, and it must be kept under fixed, safe level. But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke.Oxygen is carried through your body by the red blood cells. But this poison gas, CO, will get to the blood cells before the oxygen can. So, if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than is normal. To make up for this, your body must make more red cells.The oxygen in your blood passes into your tissues（组织）. But here again CO makes trouble. It keeps the oxygen from passing into your tissues as fast as it sho
