themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. no one establishes a fixed number for each type of death. it just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.a few years ago a canadian psychologist named gerald wilde became interested in this phenomenon. he noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the western world have remained the same throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. wilde developed a theory called “risk homeostasis”. according to this theory, people naturally live with a certain level of risk. when something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to go back to the original level of danger. if, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive faster, thereby canceling out(抵消)the benefits that the seat belt provides. it appears that we have an innate(天生的)need for danger.in all events, it is becoming clearer that the factors influencing our lifespan(寿命) are far more complex than had been previously thought. it now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isnt simply a matter of eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care etc. you must also have the right attitude. scientists found that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die far more often than people with a sunny character. looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.61. what social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why_.a. the mortality rate can not be predictedb. the death number remained stable year after yearc. a fixed number for each type of death has not come into beingd. people lost their lives every year for this or that reason62. in his research, gerald wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards_.a. have helped solve the problem of so high death rateb. have accounted for mortality rates in the past centuryc. have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deathsd. have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths63. according to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from_ .a. our fast driving b. our innate desire for riskc. our interest in speeding d. our ignorance of seat belt benefits64. by saying “canceling out the benefits that the seat belt provides” (para. 2), the author means_ .a. wearing seat belts does not have any benefits b. deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing themc. deaths from other reasons counterbalance(抗衡) the benefits of wearing seat beltsd. wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents65. which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?a. smoking once in a whileb. showing little trust in the communicationc. eating the food low in fat and driving with great cared. developing an optimistic personality and never losing heartckodaks decision to apply for bankruptcy(破产)protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading american corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated(控制) the film market for decades, but finally failed to adapt to the digital revolution. although many attribute kodaks downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesnt admit the efforts with which the company went to reinvent itself. decades ago, kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 but in a fateful decision, the company chose to focus on its traditional film business. large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets. for example, although kodak predicted the rise of digital photography, its culture was too rooted in the successes of the past to fully welcome the future. in the past, their history was so important to them. now their history has become a liability. kodaks downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. the 1980s brought new competition from japanese film company fuji photo, which weaken kodak by offering lower prices. kodaks decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 los angeles olympics was a major loss. the bid went instead to fuji, which exploited(剥削) its sponsorship to win a key role in the market. 66. what do we learn about kodak? a. it went bankrupt all of a sudden. b. it is approaching its downfall. c. it is playing a dominant role in the film market. d. it started the digital revolution in the film industry. 67. why does the author mention kodaks invention of the first digital camera? a. to show its effort to overcome complacency. b. to show its early attempt to reinvent itself. c. to show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution. d. to show its will to compete with japans fuji photo. 68. why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets? a. they are deeply stuck in their glorious past. b. they tend to be slow in facing new challenges. c. they are unwilling to invest in new technology. d. they find it costly to give up their existing business. 69. whats the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3? a. a joke. b. a mirror. c. a burden. d. a challenge. 70. what was kodaks major mistake? a. its blind faith in traditional photography. b. its failure to see fuji photos action. c. its refusal to sponsor the 1984 olympics. d. its overconfidence in its own culture. part four: writng (45 marks )section a (10 marks)directions: read the following passage. complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. write no more than three words for each answer.aggressive(攻击性的) behaviour in children has become quite common now. therefore, it isnt surprising to see an aggressive child throw things at someone while theyre angry. generally, aggressive children tend to disturb classes. they easily have an argument with others when things dont go their way. in a word, they find it difficult to make or maintain friendly relationships. the causes of the aggressive behaviour in a child may be hard to say. its a combination of several factors which are unsolved stressful issues, trouble dealing with change, extreme parenting, conflicts within the family and spending time with people who display aggressive traits.fortunately, you can do many things to stop your childs aggressive behaviour. a child equipped to may not tell good behaviour from bad, and its up to the parent to point out the differences between the two. take immediate action at the slightest sign of aggression from your child. and your child also needs encouraging for goodness. by doing this, youll be surely pushing your child to understand that kind acts are always appreciated.title: aggressive behaviour in children.71 :l

required words limit.pollution is a growing problem that is facing the international community, but even the actions that we take can make a difference. littering is creating environmental problems all over the world and is often created by careless actions. if we guard our actions against careless littering we can ensure a better world for everyone.littering is a severe problem in many countries around the world. for example, the african city of kampala is suffering from the consequences of littering. for many years the citys poor didnt have a proper way to dispose of trash, so garbage filled the streets. over the years much of the plastic garbage would slowly be pushed into the ground. this plastic litter doesnt allow rain water to seep（渗透） into t
