friend. you may feel excited about a new beginning or a “fresh start”. you may feel nervous about having to meet new people. all of these feelings are normal when you start at a new school. most kids worry about fitting in at their new school. its common for a new kid to feel like an outsider for the first few weeks. although you can be lonely, you can help yourself fit in by being friendly. even if you are nervous, try to smile, say hello and ask questions. here are two places where you might meet friends in a new school: the classroom: look around you, is there anyone who you can talk to? do you take part in group activities in class? if so, try to join a new group every time. playground: most schools offer many team sports. try to join these sports. some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school. even if the teachers are supportive, it can take some time to adjust to new rules or ways of teaching. try talking to them about your problem. besides, with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel more comfortable during the first few weeks of school. 56. the best title for the passage is _. a. how to find a new school b. the first few weeks in a

fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. his father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. it was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).the boy and his father looked at the big fish. the father lit a match and looked at his watch. it was 10 pm two hours before the bass season opened. he looked at the fish, then at the boy. “youll have to put it back, son,” he said. “dad!” cried the boy, “there will be other fish,” said his father. “not as big as this one,” cried the boy. he looked around the lake. no other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. he looked again at his father.even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his fathers voice that the decision couldnt be changed. he threw the huge bass into the black water. the big fish disappeared. the boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.that was 34 years ago. today the boy is a successful architect in new york city. he often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place. and he was right. he has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. but he does see that same fish again and again every time he has an ethical decision to make. for, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. it is only the practice of ethics that is difficult. 60. what happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?a. the boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.b. the boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.c. the father lit a match in order to check the time.d. they worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.61. from the text we know

because _.a. they might catch a big fish there b. it was a most popular fishing spotc. he was taught a moral lesson there d. their children enjoyed fishing there63. what does the story imply?a. an ethical decision is always easy to make.b. its hard to tell right from wrong sometimesc. it is easy to say something, but difficult to do.d. fishing can help one to make right decisions cfor thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any british village have been the church and the pub. traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. as a result, british pubs are often old and well preserved. many of them have become historic sites. the most famous example is the pub in the city of nottingham called “the old trip to jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 ad and is probably the oldest pub in england.however, british pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. on a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. there is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.thats how things used to be. things are beginning to change. it is said that the credit crunch（信贷紧缩）is causing 39 british pubs a week to go out of business. people do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. recently, the uk government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.this decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the uk government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. the british habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.in order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. british pubs now offer something for everyone. a lot of pubs used to be “working mens clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. perhaps things are changing for the better after all.64. this passage is mainly about _.a. the past and present of british pubs b. the decline of british pubsc. the long history of british pubs d. the importance of british pubs65. which may not be the cause of the decline of british pubs?a. the credit crunch. b. the ban on smoking.c. the present closing time. d. having no spare money.66. we can infer from the passage that _. a. british people used to like drinking slowlyb. closing the pubs early will reduce social problemsc. british government aims to discourage people from binge drinkingd. only people from high classes can afford to enter the pubs 67. we can see from the last paragraph that the author _.a. holds an optimistic attitude towards the british pubsb. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs c. thinks that women in the pubs will cause fewer social problemsd. thinks that british pubs should offer everything you need dwith the development of society and economy, animals and their habitats are getting pushed aside as households decrease in size and increase in number. small numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. greater numbers of households require more natural resources for construction. the possible result of this problem may be insufficient natural resources to meet consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity（生物多样性）. personal freedom and social choice may come at huge environmental cost. direct costs include visible damage to animal habitats and plant life. indirect costs include the release of more greenhouse gases. the effects of such “personal freedom and social choice” have already surfaced in south-west chinas wolong nature reserve. in wolong, they found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in homes, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood consumed for cooking and heating. the rise in wood fuel use has contributed to disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas. curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing similar phenomena, they got the support of a team of researchers including stanfords paul ehrlich, well-known for his population studies, to find out the household dynamics（动态）in 141 countries between 1985 and 2000. their study proved that the difficult choice of wolong is part of a global trend. in the 76 countries considered biodiversity “hotspots”, such as the united states, brazil, australia, and kenya, the number of households grew by 3.1% every year, while the population increased just 1.8%. meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. the decline in household size has resulted in 155 million additional households in hotspot countries, almost always limiting biodiversity. in the 10 non-hotspot countries those without high-density areas of animal and plant species similar results were found, though on a lesser scale. even in countries experiencing population decline, such as new zealand, the number of households still increased because of a reduction in household size.68. what does the underlined word “insufficient” mean?a. plenty of.b. not enough. c. adequate. d. little. 69. which of the following is best supported by the last two paragraphs?a. biodiversity is better kept in countries with smaller populations.b. biodiversity is better kept in hotspot countries.c. both hotspot countries and non-hotspot countries face the threat of the same scale.d. the threat to nature from reduction in household size is a worldwide problem.70. what does the passage mainly talk about?a. reduced household size leads to an increase in household number.b. reduction in household size as well as increase in household number threatens nature.c. how to meet c
