He jumped and kicked and then threw me down to the ground.The village was about half a mile 30 . I began to run. But soon I was covered from head to feet with 31 . They were all over me, stinging（叮咬）me. Each time when I opened my mouth for 32 . many bees ran into my mouth. I 33 could not take in air. At last I got to the village. I ran to a house for help.

In Britain, you mustnt lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid（液体）food. But its different in China. And in Japan you even neednt worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food. In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when youre having a meal . In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustnt eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native(本土的) people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.( )41. According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isnt bad manners in . A. China B. Japan C. Britain D. Mongolia( )42. is bad manners in Britain.A. Eating food without making noisesB. Putting liquid food in the bowlC. Having soup directly with a bowlD. Keeping hands off the table( )43.From the passage, we can infer(推断) that .A. Mongolian people burp when they are eatingB. Japanese people all make noises when drinkingC. Chinese people never make noises at table D. few Arabs eat with left hands( )44.”Do in Rome as the Romans do ” means “ ”.A. Do as the native people do B. Do as you do at homeC. Ask the native people to do it D. Watch the native people doing it ( )45. The passage mainly(主要地) tells us .A. some table manners in BritainB. some different table mannersC. different ways of having liquid foodD. to have good mannersB Light travels at a fast speed. It is about a million times faster than sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometers, but sound travels only 340 meters. You may have some knowledge of this difference by watching the start of a running race. If you stand quite far away from the starter, you can catch sight of smoke come from gun before the sound spreading to your ears.The fast speed of light produces some odd(奇特) facts. It costs about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach us . If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays(光线) left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away from us . You can see the light from it tonight start to get to you 4 years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million kilometers every minute. The light from some of tonights started on its journey towards you even before you came to this world.So, strictly speaking, we should not say, “The stars are shining brightly tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look nice. They were shining four years ago but their light has just reached our earth.”( )46. The word “speed” means in Chinese. A. 速度 B. 距离 C. 时间 D. 频率( )47. If you stand 200 meters from a man who is lifting a gun to start a running match, you will find out .A. light travels a million times faster than soundB. the smoke of the gun gets into your sight after the sound of the gun-shotC. sound travels less fast than lightD. the sound of the gun reaches you at the same time with the light of the smoke( )48. Sunlight obviously(明显地) than the light of the moon. A. has to travel a greater distance(距离)B. travels much more quicklyC. moves less quickly D. is less powerful(威力)( )49.The scientific way of saying “the stars are shining brightly tonight” should be . A. the stars have been shining all the timeB. the stars seen tonight will be shining four years laterC. the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonightD. the starlight seen tonight could be seen four years ago ( )50. The light of the nearest star see tonight has been for years. A. on the earth B. on the moonC. away from the sun D. away from itselfCIda came to America four years ago . Her main reason for coming was to give her 13-year-old son the best education possible. But also, she did not want Perry to meet the wrong kind of people and end up using drugs（毒品）or joining a gang, （帮，队群）or both. Divorced(离婚) shortly after Perrys birth, Ida had been a successful business-woman in her home country. She had saved a lot of money for their new life inAmerica. Or so she had thought. But two failed business projects in America had been costly. If she had succeeded, she would have been well off . The second failure was especially painful, because she had known it would leave her with little money. Her poor English led her to this situation.（位置，处境）American business people were not patient; they did not want to waste their time trying to figure out （理解）what she was trying to say. Equally bad, she couldnt understand their rapid English. She had sadly underestimated(低估) how long it would take her to become excellent in English. She almost had no money. Her boyfriend didnt make enough money to support Ida and Perry. She had to go to work. Even though she was a boss in her homeland, Ida would try to find work as a waitress in America. “Youll be lucky to make $8 an hour,” her boyfriend Tony complained. “What kind of an income is that?” “Yes, but youre forgetting about the tips. Thats where the big money is ,” she said, laughing. “Im not upset about working as a waitress. Any work is honorable. （光荣的）I took my chances. Now I have to go to work to pay the bills.”( )51. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Ida has been in America for four years.B. Ida wanted Perry to be well educated in America.C. Perry had got addicted（使上瘾）to drugs before he moved to America.D. Ida was a single mother before she moved to America.( )52. Idas great loss of money was caused by _. A. her sons education B. her boyfriend C. her business projects in America D. her broken family( )53. Ida couldnt get along well with American businessmen because of _. A. her weak English B. her shortage of experience in business C. her impatience D. the rapid way they spoke English( )54. What did Tony think of ldas pay of working as a waitress? A. Satisfied B. poor C. Reasonable D. Enough( )55. If Ida worked from noon to Midnight, and she had a day off a week, how much could she earn a week ? A. $96 B. $672 C. $576 D. $480D The man known as the French “Spiderman”（蜘蛛侠） climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global（全球的） warming, and six hours later another climber made the same climb. Alain Robert, 45, the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper, told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was “to raise awareness（意识） of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time .” His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Roberts climbs were not without risk and he was a professional climber. Robert climbed without equipment（设备）except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by phone who arrested him. The second climber also was immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station. Several people in the crowd shouted “Jump” when he stopped part of the way up to rest but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top . Wearing red pants, black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “Malaria(疟疾) No More”, the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building. “We dont look at him as a modern day Spiderman,” said James Coll, a member of the police emergency services unit. “We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but members of the public as well.” Martin Edlund, director of Malaria No More, which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria, said the climber had nothing to do with them, but they appreciated his enthusiasm（热情）.( )56. When was Alain Robert arrested at the top of the building by police? A. In the early morning. B. In the late afternoon. C. In the evening. D. About at noon.( )57. We learn from the text that Roberts climb was . A. cheered by the police B. forbidden（禁止）by the goverment C. supported by the owner of the skyscraper D. laughed at by the people watching him( )58. The second climber did the same thing as Robert with the purpose of _.
