For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.” “Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors（祖先） arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse. After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked.“You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly.“Theyre both crazy,”she thought.56. According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means _.A. a family secretB. a family honor C. a family storyD. a family treasure57. What can we learn about some Australians ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were the earliest people living in Australia. B. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.58.

Many people like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn .But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive（毁灭性的）. A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage. Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict（预测） how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms. Predictions are improving. “Weve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzbach says.Fist, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气) cool and turns back into liquid. This process（过程） gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane. If wind speed reaches 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world. On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October.64. According to the text, hurricanes usually .A. form off the coast of Africa and AmericaB. travel at 40miles per hour and get its nameC. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the seaD. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn65. The underlined word “evaporates” probably means “ ”.A. begins to move B. gets lost C. becomes hot D. changes into a gas66. Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase.c. The vapor cools.d. The ocean water is warm enough.e. The vapor changes back into liquid.f. This course gives out heat.A. a, d, e, b, c, f B. a, b, c, f, d, eC. d, a, c, e, f, b D. d, a, b, c, e, fDTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York - he in computers, she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Partons foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.” Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didnt want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members - included classics such as Ezra Jack Keatss The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdneys Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books Ive never heard of.” The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some p
