Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migrationis probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel. 56.

Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we dont. B In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some womens colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a womens college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in womens college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women .Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a womens college, women feel freer to say what they think.Womens schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a womens college every evening, office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show that American women who went to Womens colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life. 60.Most of womens colleges were established _.A. to give women the education they could not receive anywhere elseB. to separate women from menC. to offer women special chances for work D. to help women have more study opportunities61.

This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousand copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when they try the new system. Computer industry experts say that if there are no major problems Microsoft can expect to earn about 7 thousand million dollars from Windows 95 in the first two years. The experts say this could be just a beginning for Microsoft and the whole computer industry. The experts say Windows 95 can help the user do many different and difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able to do many of the same things since 1989. For example, it has been able to let users work two different programs at the same time. The Amega Computer also has offered this for almost ten years. And IBM says the operating system it developed about 7 years ago is very similar.64. In the passage the writer .A. thinks Windows 95 will be a successB. is doubtful about what Microsoft Company has promisedC. shows no opinion of his ownD. is advertising Windows 95 for Microsoft Company65.

Windows 95 will bring about a great change in the whole computer industryC. other companies dont think highly of Windows 95D. Windows 95 will help sell more powerful computersDSOUTHPORT, ENGLANDA British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.he said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.67. According to the writers opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants .A. is a wonderful ideaB. can improve the relation between children and animalsC. is beyond ordinary peoples mindsD. can make some teachers lose jobs68. What Dyble said at the conference .A. gained some support from the membersB. frighten
