a. because it was a really old and valuable clock. b. because it was the only thing that her mother had left her. c. because it brought her memories of being with her mother.d. because it left the author with mixed feelings.62. what did the clock shop owners tell the author?a. the parts that the clock needed were electronic.b. it would cost a lot to repair the clock.c. they had never repaired a clock like this before.d. they could only make the clock electronic.63. the author intends to _.a. criticize the irresponsible clock shop ownersb. criticize people who do not value things with a historyc. criticize people who do not have a creative attitude toward lifed. criticize peoples ignorance of traditional craftsmanshipbis it true that cats have nine lives? one 4-year-old american cat named sugar definitely seems to have more than one. sugar fell from the 19th floor of her owners home in boston last month and was only hurt a little on her chest.“this story isnt much of a surprise,” said jake socha, a scientist at virginia tech university, us, in an interview with the bbc. “there have been lots of records of these cats surviving.”back in 1987, scientists studied 132 cats. all of them had been brought to a vets clinic in new york after falling from tall buildings. around 90 percent of these cats were alive after their fall and only 37 percent had been seriously injured.“being able to survive falls is a critical thing for animals that live in trees, and cats are one of them,” said socha.cats have developed special body structures to survive accidental falls. their legs are muscular. this can protect their bones from breaking, professor andrew biewener from harvard university told the bbc. cats can also spread out their legs like a parachute to reduce their falling speed, he said.the strange part, according to scientists, is that cats have a better chance of survival if they fall from higher than seven stories. this is because cats have a good sense of which way is down. they can twist their bodies as they fall to make sure they land on their feet. a higher fall means more time for the cat to change its body position.however, you should not throw your cat out of the window to see how this works. most pet cats are overweight nowadays. they are not fit enough to change their position in midair, warned steve dale, an american cat behavior scientist.“this cat (sugar) was lucky,” dale said. in fact, most cats would suffer serious lung damage, a broken leg or a broken jaw or teeth damage, he said. 64. what can we learn from paragraph 3?a. cats really do have nine lives.b. many cats can survive falls.c. cats are the softest animals in the world.d. more than half of the cats that fall from high places end up badly injured.65. what does the underlined word “critical” mean in the context?a. important.b. easy.c. challenging. d. serious.66. why can cats survive falls according to the article?a. they have a hidden parachute in their bodies.b. their legs have developed in a way that protects their bones from breaking.c. they can land on their feet.d. they can twist their bodies to reduce the speed at which they are falling.a. a, bb. b, cc. c, dd. b, d67. which of the following statements is true?a. a pet cat that falls out of a tall building is not really at risk.b. sugar was lucky that she was only injured in the leg.c. cats are confused as to which way is down when they are in midair.d. a cat that falls from the fourth story of a building is more likely to die than one that falls from the 10th story.cbefore nicolas sarkozy became french president, he was asked if he thought about presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving. “not just when i m shaving,” he answered.when francois hollande, now president-elect (总统当选人) of france, was asked the same question, he replied: “do i see myself as president? no, i am a presidential candidate. a candidate must not think himself president; he must give hope that he becomes president.” hollande has promised to be a “normal president” something sarkozy certainly was not. sarkozy celebrated his election in 2007 at a world-class parisian restaurant. he took holidays on the yachts (游艇) of wealthy businesspeople. hollande, by contrast, was still going around paris on his three-wheeled motorbike at the start of this year. one member of his party said he looked “more like a pizza delivery man” than the next president.“that is the key to hollandes success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum (公民投票) for or against nicolas sarkozy,” eric dupin, a journalist and political observer told global post. “francois hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent politically, but also as his complete opposite psychologically.”when he was the socialist party leader, hollande was nicknamed “the marshmallow (软糖)” because he hated fights. sarkozy, by contrast, is known to be loud and aggressive.when faced with sarkozys verbal attacks during the election, hollande stayed calm. this sometimes annoyed even his own supporters. “i wish he would just let go and savage (用暴力对付) sarko,” one hollande voter said to the guardian.but hollande still knows how to fight. stphane le foll, a socialist mep who has been one of hollandes closest advisors for 17 years and is co-directing his campaign, said hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid for 10 years. “i think we all underestimated this guy,” alain minc, one of sarkozys closest friends and advisers, told reuters.hollande was born in 1954 into a middle-class family. he lived through the 1968 protests that nearly overthrew the french government. “they shocked him, but also politicized him, he said in a recent interview, making him understand that change was possible,” reported the new york times. when hollande was 15, he told friends he expected to become president.“i didnt come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession (执迷),” hollande said in an interview with reuters. “i got there because i put myself in this situation, and because i deserved it.” 68. by citing hollande and sarkozys replies to the same question, the author intends to show _.a. sarkozy is more confident than hollandeb. hollande is more modest than sarkozyc. hollande is
