One is the Galapagos Islands, where, largely unspoiled by man, strange and unusual birds, animals and plants settle and grow-many of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lie directly on the Qquator, about 1,000 kilometers west of the South American mainland.But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis（危机）.Its human inhabitants, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist possibility of the islands. Recently, they have been having a bitter struggle with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, also on Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the islands wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of human activities.The animals greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered（掠夺）the islands for food. They wiped out about 250,000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction（毁灭）of several species which lived on some of the smaller islands. The last survivor, an 80-year-old Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center.60. The best topic for this passage is _.A. In Primitive Times B.

The writer describes the Giant Tortoise, George, as“lonely”because _.A. it is the last one of its species B. it has lived alone for eighty yearsC. the Center doesnt allow it to go out D. the naturalists keep it alone in the CenterC A profound (意味深长的) truth about language is contained in the statement that Words by: themselves have no meanings. People sometimes overlook that truth. They tend to mistake the word for the thing itself. They imagine that there is one right word for a given idea, action, or object. But words mean only what people agree they should mean, and no more. The word snake may cause shudders (颤栗) even if the creature is absent, but it is only a word. The word steak may cause mouths to water, but the word is not the thing. People are responding to certain sounds or to a few ink spots on a page, not the actual object that is a snake or a steak. If a small child calls her highchair chy, is cay a word? Three other questions will help to provide an answer. Does chy play a role in the life of the child? Does chy stand for a particular object in the childs environment? Do the childs parents understand what is meant by chy ? Since the answer to all the three questions is YES, chy qualifies as a word. However, it is a word of very limited use. It will not appear in any dictionary,. in any magazine or newspaper, or in any news report. In a practical sense, chy does not functionas the kind of word we mean when we say the word. It is a genuine word, but one that very few people use. Older children sometimes make up special words to communicate with their friends. Just as the small child created chy to mean highchair, older children invent words for certain objects or ideas, They then send messages in a kind of code. These children have made new words that perform all the functions that words should perform. Of course, outsiders(旁观者) are confused when faced with these words. They dont know-the-code -just as you probably dont know the code when faced with the language of the Finns or the Watusi. Language is a contract. Words mean only what people agree they should mean. Travellers abroad soon find out that the contract the are familiar with - the English language - is not in force in many countries of the world. English, for example, is not the principal language of Hungary. Hungarians have a different contract, one that is understandable to even a small Hungarian child but a mystery to most American tourists.64. Which of the following statements can best express the main idea of she passage? A. Children often develop special languages all their own. B. Language is basically a contract accepted by users of a language. C. A Hungarian child understands a language that puzzles American adults.D. Language is a mysterious creation, a wonder of communication.65. The passage suggests that thy A. may appear in an idiom or a slang dictionary B. is actually a word when it is understandable C. is taken from the Watusi language D. is as generally useful a word as steak 66. Children invent codes to A. communicate better B. annoy their friends C. write more easily D. keep their secrets 67. This article suggests that A, there is no absolutely right word for an object B. the word for steak is actually better than the word for snake C. Hungarian children have different troubles learning their language D. the young children communicate more effectively than the adults D Most people need to hear those three little words -I love you. Once in a while, they hear them just in time. I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospital ward, where I worked as a woman volunteer. Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages Of her fight against cancer, she was cheerful. We got her settled in. I asked if she needed anything. Oh, yes, she said, would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps. Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas, and movies with a good love story. As we became acquainted, she said how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her a silly woman.Oh, I know Bill loves me, she said, but he has never been one to say he loves me. ” She sighed and looked out of the window at the trees in the courtyard. Id give anything if hed say I love you, but its just not in his nature. Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room. Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill. He talked about having worked as a carpenter. He and Connie had no children, but theyd been enjoying retirement by travelling, until Connie got sick. Bill could not express his feeling about the fact that his wife was dying. One day, over coffee I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives how we love to get cards and love letters. Do you tell Connie you love her? I asked (knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy. I dont have to, he said. She knows I do!Im sure she knows, I said, but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all the years. ”We walked back to Connies room. Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient. The date was February 12.Two days later I walked clown the ward at noon. There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor. Tile head nurse told me that Connie had died at 11 A. M.When Bill aw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms. His face was wet with tears. Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath, “I have to say something,”he said. I have to say how good I/eel about telling her. He stopped to blow his nose. I thought, a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her., and loved being married to her. You should have seen her smile! I went into the room to say my own good-bye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill. To my wonderful wife. I love you.68.

E Youre out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You deride to leave abig fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think. Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead,studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiters choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bills total Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine ho
