feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. when bears are used to peoples food, problems soon arise.bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. with people around, the bears tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. more often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. hanging the pack on a tree branch wont help. bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. one mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. most people drop the pack and run the other way. this, of course, delights the bear. in some places, the park service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.56. feeding bears on peoples food .a. brings the people a lot of fun b. can cause problemsc. often causes injuries and deaths d. helps bears survive57. if people had never fed bears, the bears .a. might be satisfied with what they had originally b. would have starved long beforec. wouldnt have enough food supply d. would have hunted for other kind of food58. which of the following is true?a. if fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects.b. its likely that bears would hurt people if the people didnt give up their food.c. most people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food.d. seeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it.59. bear-proof containers didnt work because .a. bears were clever enough to get the food in them b. they were left open in the open airc. people were not sure of their use d. they were once used as rubbish cansba woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. she said, i dont think i know

pronounced shorter and shorter. from the 16th century the british had contact with people from around the world. this means that many new words and phrases entered the language. the invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. books became cheaper and more people learned to read. spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of london became the standard. in 1604, the first english dictionary was published.the numbers of words in early modern english and late modern english differ. late modern english has a lot more words because of two main factors: firstly, the industrial revolution created a need for new words; secondly, the british empire covered one quarter of the earths surface, and the english language took in foreign words from many countries.from around 1600, the english colonization(殖民地化)of north america resulted in the creation of american english. some english pronunciation and words froze when they reached america. in some ways, american english is more like the english of shakespeare than modern british english. some expressions that the british call “ americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）british expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in britain. spanish also had an influence on american english, with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of spanish words that entered english. french words and west african words also influenced american english.today, american english is the most influential(有影响力的). but there are many other kinds of english around the world, including australian english, new zealand english, canadian english, south african english , indian english and caribbean english. they have differences.63. what can we know from paragraph 1?a. the dialect of london became the standard in the year 1604.b. vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of middle englishc. the first english dictionary was published in the early 17th century.d. many new words entered english because many people moved to britain.64. from paragraph 2, we know that the industrial revolution _.a. required spelling and grammar to be fixedb. required a greater number of english wordsc. caused many old english words to be uselessd. led to the english colonization of north america.65. the underlined word “froze” in paragraph 3 shows that some english words in america_.a. became longer b. greatly changedc. a little changed d. stayed as they were66. what will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?a. the development of modern englishb. how the english vocabulary became largerc. differences among the different kinds of englishd. differences between middle english and modern englishdthe quality of drinking water in shanghai will meet european union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in shanghai will drink the best water in the world.these were the goals set out by the shanghai water authority. with the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, chen yin, and official with the water authority, said shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.zhang yue, director of the urban construction division under the ministry of construction, said, “shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. they will not be easy to achieve.”he said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of chinas economy. saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 yuan. last year, shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology. “the aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” chen said. “the abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”shanghai lacks drinkable water. the huangpu river, which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.the city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the yangtze river and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.at present, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. these are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.the authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households at a cost of 40 yuan each.in three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 mill
