year 2009 is the Year of OxThe ox is a representative of the fanning culture of ChinaIn the farming economy （经济）, oxen are the major animals pulling plows （犁）Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing In fact, they are seen as boats on land for their ability to carry loadsBesides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasuresTheir meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoesWith all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creaturesIn the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the ChineseEven today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activitiesFor example, some people who1ire in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family membersIn order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar （农历）, and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as humanBecause of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animalIn addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation55The words boats an land underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to _Aanimals for taking goods Bcreatures for pulling plowsCtreasures of the folk culture Dtools in the farming economy56From the third paragraph, we know that _Aoxen are no more important today than in the pastBceremonies are held when people cook

of oxen in frowningBPeoples respect and love for oxenCThe practical value of an oxs bodyDThe contribution of oxen to the economy58Why does the author write the text?ATo stress the importance of oxen in farmingBTo introduce the Chinese folk cultureCTo describe how to celebrate the Year of OxDTo explain how to develop agriculture with oxen C Many years ago on a beautiful Sunday ,everybody was very happy and ready for the New Years celebration. I was busy because I was the volunteer responsible for the celebration at a church .The responsibility I had put a lot of pressure on me. At about ten oclock a short circuit(短路) on the bell of the church occurred.I knew what we need ,and I had to fix it as soon as possible. I hurried to get some cables(电缆),the tools and two of my assistants .“Hurry up!sir,” someone said to me .Soon I was at the top of the church tower to fix the problem.There was one assistant on the ground ,and the other one was with me on the top.I had just 30 minutes to get it done. I did my best and was very happy when the bell was working again. Unfortunately,the problem wasnt over yet. The assistant on the ground was absent-minded(心不在焉的)and he did not hear very well.He thought it was safe ,so he pulled down the cable that was on my waist.In just 3 or 4 seconds I was falling from the fourth floor,18 meters down to the ground. After about 2 weeks I still couldnt really remember what had happened. Was the bell working or not? What had happened to me?I spent 3 months in the hospital to have 4 operations and another 6 months under physical treatment at home.During this period , I also had new teeth for a new life. This always made me remember the most important thing. That was to slow down and not to do anything under stress and pressure.59.Why did the author feel pressured when he served as a volunteer?A.He heard that he couldnt earn much money. B.He was afraid that he couldnt do a good job.C.He worried that he might get injured in the celebration.D.He thought he couldnt have a happy holiday like others.60.When the short circuit on the bell occurred, the author and his assistants _.A.worked out the peoblem in time. B.were nervous but successful at last.C.were puzzled and worried. D.didnt know how to deal with the problem.61.How long did it take the author to recover from the injury?A.Three months. B.Half a year. C.One year. D.Nine months.62.We may conclude that this deadly injury _.A.made the author lose one of his legs. B.was a great lesson to the author.C.was caused by electricity. D.also made the authors assistants hurt. DTom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人) group.The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives at home and particularly in the school environment(环境) means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.They dont see men succeeding in society so it doesnt occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a childs peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.Its pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.63. Why did Tom give up studying?A. He disliked his teachers.B. His parents no longer supported him.C. Its cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.64. What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.C. The student judges. D. The home environment.65. What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?A. Wait for their change patiently.B. Train leaders of their peer groups.C. Stop the development of street culture.D. Give them lessons in a separate area.66. A teachers work is most effective with a schoolboy when he _.A. is with the boy aloneB. teaches the boy a lessonC. sends the boy home as punishmentD. works together with another teacher EI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A new Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one
