cities in australia have got little air or water pollution. the sky is blue and the water is clean. you can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. plants grow very well. last month we visited perth, the biggest city in western australia, and went to a wild flowers exhibition. there we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. we had a wonderful time. perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. in spring every year perth has the wild flowers exhibition. after visiting perth, we spent the day in the countryside. we sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. it was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. what we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. there were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path. australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos(袋鼠). after a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white

could celebrate his september 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people in the united states will give him a passing thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of china. in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the main courses of chinese culture usually include chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantages of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of westerner philosophy. students in the united states, at the same time, are racing to learn chinese. so they will be ready for life in a world where china is an equal power with the united states. businessmen who hope to make money in china are reading books about confucius to understand their chinese customers. so the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. today china attracts the west more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce confucius and chinese culture to the west. as for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is. 60. the opening paragraph is mainly intended to _. a. provide some key facts about confuciusb. attract the readers interest in the subjectc.

chineseb. take an active part in chinese competitionsc. try to get high scores in chinese examsd. fight for a chance to learn chinese62. what is the best title for the passage?a. forgotten wisdom in americab. huge fans of the chinese languagec. chinese culture for westernersd. old thinker with a big future63. the passage is likely to appear in _. a. a biographyb. a history paperc. a newspaperd. a philosophy textbookcwelcome to your future life! you get up in the morning and look into the mirror. your face is firm and young-looking. in 2035, medical technology is better than ever. many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old at all. and your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的)treatment. now, all three of look the same age! you say to your shirt, “turn red.” it changes from blue to red. in 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. the particles can be programmed to change clothes color or pattern. you walk into the kitchen. you pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ you shouldnt drink that!” your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . in 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip. its time to go to work. in 2035, cars drive themselves. just tell your “smart car” where to go. on the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. such “smart technology” is all around you. so will all these things come true? “for new technology to succeed,” says scientist andrew zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” the internet is one examplewhat will be the next?64. we can learn from the text that in the future_. a .people will never get old b. everyone will look the same c. red will be the most popular color d. clothes will be able to change their pattern65. what can be inferred from paragraph 4? a. milk will be harmful to health. b. more drinks will be available for sale.

b. future technology in everydaylife. c. medical treatments of the future. d. the reason for the success of new technology.djohn keynes, a famous economist, in his 1930 essay “economic possibilities for our grandchildren”, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. he thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. he was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands. decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. when a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.there are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. for example, porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. but in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. people who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. to get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.by placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, keynes actually reduced such demands. however, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.68. what do we know about the couple in paragraph 3?a. they want to show their superiority.b. they find specialty important to meals.c. their demands for food are not easily satisfied.d. their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.69. what does the underlined word “escalation” in paragraph 4 probably mean?a. understanding.b. increase.c. difference.d. study.70. the author of the passage argues that _.a. absolute needs have no limitsb. demands for quality are not insatiablec. human desires influence ideas of qualityd. relative needs decide most of our spending第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。latest news and comment on street art from guardian.co.uk._71_ you can find it on buildings，sidewalks，street signs and trash cans
