I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister, mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadnt come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dads head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the stairs and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth-floor flat. We all went in. We were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony (阳台) of the sixth-floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.51. What is this passage mainly about? A. Ways to survive an earthquake.B.

Lets make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon. Every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They havent yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. Maybe they will some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated (灌溉) with water. Crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians (素食主义者). You see, as the number of people increased, the number of animals decreased. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds, too, and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain, and it is possible to get rid of disease. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.55. What are the hotels on the moon used for in 2060? A. Scientific experiments.B. People who have no houses.C. Holiday people. D. Astronauts.56. About life in 2060, which of the following is WRONG? A. In the story, the population of the world has increased.B. A great number of people work on the farm.C. Voyages to the moon are being made every day.D. The food comes mainly from green plants.57. According to the passage, why are people largely vegetarians? A. Because most people like vegetables better.B. Because there are no animals at all.C. Because people think meat is unhealthy.D. Because the number of people increased and the number of animals decreased.58. According to the passage, what about the peoples health in 2060? A. Because the people have to be vegetarians, they are very thin.B. The doctor dont know how to treat the diseases and pain.C. The people have no illness.D. The people are less healthier in our bodies than in our minds.CDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne（王位）, which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork） and beouf（beef） came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language kept the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-SaxonThe Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender（性别）, so adjectives（形容词） take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in stlye”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French!59. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because_. A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with them C. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken60. Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar C. Because a large number of English words have French originsD. Because English has great influences on the French language61. French grammar is quite different from English grammar because _. A. no words have the same pronunciation B. all words have the same pronunciation C. English nouns have a male or female gender D. French nouns have different adjective forms62. What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have nothing in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon. DI always wanted to fly a plane, but back to 1930s, it was almost impossible for a woman to do that. I tried it in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience was very boring. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my wish to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at the age of 80. Why not me? 1 was just 84 and in good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Encouraged by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2010, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightened - I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to jump out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly
