dozens of britons forgive their enemies. “the hatred we hold within us is a cancer,” professor ken hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. more than 70 people have become members in harts first 20-week workshop in london a course he says is the first of its kind in the world. these are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. they realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said canadian-born hart. the students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight. the course, ending in july, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hatred in these people. “people have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “people confuse forgiveness with forgetting. forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.“the main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,” said norman claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.56from this passage we know that _ ahigh blood pressure and heart disease are only caused by hatred bhigh blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors cwithout hatred, people will have less trouble connected with blood pressure and heart dpeople who suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies57in harts first 20-week workshop, people there can _ ameet their enemies bchange their attitudes towards bitterness cenjoy the professors speech dlearn how to quarrel with others58if you are a member in harts workshop, youll _ apay much money to hart bgo to the workshop every night cattend a gathering twice a month dpour out everything stored in your mind59the author wrote this passage in order to _ apersuade us to go to harts workshop btell us the news about harts workshop ctell us how to run a workshop like harts dhelp us to look at various kinds of angersb used by over half a million learners, english practice is one of the worlds most popular online english

australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. how surprised he must have been! what caused this strange occurrence? this is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. the answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm. when it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in australia. throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. the strong winds sweep over australia like huge vacuum cleaners (吸尘器), collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people. although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur frequently in australia. when bill tipp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “they look like millions of dead birds falling down.” his statement is not surprising. the wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky. 63. what could be the feelings of bill tipp the moment he saw the rain of fish? a excited b scared c calm d amazed64. the underlined word infinite” is closest in meaning to _ a easy b difficult c countless d dangerous65. what is this passage about? a a sad story b australias northern part c a rain of fish d the damage done by floods dscientists studying the impact of climate change on the arctic need to consider ways to reduce their own carbon footprints(碳排放量), says ryan brook, a researcher who regularly flies north to study the health of caribous(驯鹿). he calls on scientists to show leadership by examining and sharing ways to reduce the impact of working in polar regions.“the importance of the research is not a question here. it is important to our understanding of adapting to climate change. but we need to think about better approaches,” says brook.“this is an issue for all scientists, though polar researchers often travel particularly long distances using commercial air travel. we also rely extensively on small aircraft, icebreakers, and snowmobiles, all of which produce large amounts of carbon.”brook studies the health of caribou herds in nunavut and northwest territories. he works with northern wildlife managers. this work typically takes him north five or six times per year and when he calculated his own carbon footprint, he was not happy with the result.“my research footprints are about the same as the annual footprints of an average toronto resident. basically, i have two footprints my own personal life, which is moderate (适度的), and my research footprint.”climate scientists can rightly argue that arctic research is a specialized field and the community of scientists who travel north is relatively small. even if all scientists working in the north reduced their carbon emissions, it would not make a big impact on the global scale. for brook, its the option that matters.there are ways researchers can reduce the amount of carbon they use. some helicopters use less fuel than others. solar and wind power are alternatives to gas-fired generators. and while carbon offsets(抵消) dont reduce the amount of carbon emitted, they are an easy first step.“there arent necessarily any easy answers, but we need to start talking about it,” says brook. “this is particularly important for the next generation of scientists being trained and i hope to see them become leaders in this issue.”66. what is the importance of the research according to brook?a. the importance of the research is a question.b. it is our understanding of adapting to climate change.c. it is the importance of the research studying the health of caribou herds in nunavut and northwest territories.d. the importance of the research is use more solar and wind power as possible.67. what did brook find when he calculated his own carbon footprints?a. his carbon footprints are more than the annual footprints of a toronto resident.b. his personal life footprints are more than the annual footprints of a toronto resident.c. his research footprints are about the same as his personal life footprints.d. his personal life footprints are more than his research footprints.68. brooks opinion is challenged by the statement that _.a. arctic research is very important b. the arctic is a special environment c. the footprints of arctic scientists are smalld. brooks situation is a common phenomenon69. we can infer from the last paragraph that_. .a. we should take actions immediately instead of just talkingb. its easy to start talking about the problem of carbon emissions c. its necessary now to pay attention to the problem of research footprintsd. the next generation of scientists are more interested in research footprints.70. whats the main idea of the text?a. the importance of arctic research is not a question.b. climate change becomes worse because of arctic research.c. brook suggests ways of reducing the use of carbon.d. scientists must mind their own carbon footprints.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。选项中的两项为多余选项。high school students do
