While my son led me out of the door and 28 the bird, I explained that if the creature was indeed dead, a doctor could not 29 . When we arrived at the 30 scene, it was obvious that the baby bird was dead. Spencer and I could see the nest(鸟巢) high up in the tree. My son and I 31 the probable age of the baby bird, its inability to fly well, and exactly how the 32 had caused its death. “I think his mummy and daddy really 33 him,” Spencer observed.

In a recent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thinghe looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave!46.What is the purpose of the text?ATo tell the reader about the American government.BTo discuss the Americans ideas about the President.CTo make a comparison between Dave and other films.DTo introduce a new film to the reader.47.Who plays the role of the President in the film?ASigourney Weaver.BKevin Kline.CBill MitchellDIvan Reitman.48.The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _.Athe PresidentBthe directorCan actorDa look-alike49.Which of the following is best supported by the text?AThe author makes fun of the President.BThe author thinks highly of the film.CThe author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.DThe author wishes to become the American President.BWhen dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, main course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didnt have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didnt eat salad at all. Chomping(大声地咀嚼) on greens was once considered sissy(女人气的), and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New Yorks Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的东西) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate(味觉), and being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: The custom may be related to the slimming craze, for “salad first” may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as trick-the meagerness(不足量) of a meal is less noticeable if it comes after “free” salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.50.Before the middle of the nineteenth century, _ . A. Americans ate the salad before the main course B. Americans ate the salad after the main course C. Americans ate the salad either before or after the main course D. Americans didnt eat salad at all51.In the last sentence of the passage, “rabbit food” refers to_ . A. the saladB. food made of rabbit meat C. junk food D. food prepared for the rabbit52.Which of the following statements is true? A. Salad first appeared in America, and then was introduce to Europe.B. The American tradition of eating salad before the main course was formed mainly due to health. C. In less than fifty years, salad became popular throughout the United States. D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating the diners.CAmericans genius with high technology may have put men on the moon, but there is growing doubt about its ability to solve human problems closer to home.In fact, a slight but significant change from purely technological solutions is already under way as scientists insist that answers to the worlds problems will not come from an attractive exhibition of electronics and machines. Instead, as they see it, solutions must develop from a better understanding of the humans that drive the system and from a fuller appreciation of the limits and potential(潜能) of the earths resources.What this means is an increased emphasis on the life and earth sciences, on sociology, psychology, economics and even philosophy.More and more of the best minds in science, particularly young researchers, are being drawn into these developing fields.All this is not to say that technological creativity will not play a critical role in solving energy and food shortages, or that answers to environmental difficulties will not come from further advances in the same technologies that may have helped cause the problems.Where the real challenge lies, in the view of the new generation of scientists, is in finding ways to produce goods meet the worlds needs, using less of the raw materials that are becoming short.53.Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. The environment crisis will not be solved unless we stop using virgin(原始) materials.B. In scientific research, a higher priority(优先) should be given to understanding all living systems.C. Exploration of outer space will finally lead to an improvement on human living conditions.D. U.S. high-technology companies are welcoming this new change in scientific research.54.Which of the following best expresses the main idea?AA growing number of Americans are doubtful about what high technology can do in solving the worlds problems.BMany scientists are beginning to believe that the better understanding of human beings will play a more decisive role in solving the worlds problems.CMore and more young scientists are trying their best to find new ways to solve the worlds problems.DTechnological creativity will still play a very important part in solving the worlds problems.55.Young scientists demand that in order to satisfy human needs _.Aexisting products be improvedBmore complex machines and electronic equipment be designedCways be found to produce better goods using fewer raw materialsDany new invention and innovation be encouraged in technology56.In the passage “human problems” or “world problems” refers mainly to _.Aglobal food shortageBresources depletion(削减，耗尽)Cenvironmental pollutionDall of the above57.The author states all the following except that _.Athe development of present techniques cannot provide any answers to todays problemsBan increasing number of young scientists are taking a great interest in biological and social sciencesCmany scientists have come to understand the limits of natural resourcesDmany scientists argue that high technology is something but not everythingDIt seems that nothing is ever easy in the Middle East, and the road to peace for Israel and Palestine is no different.But, with a new Palestinian prime minister in place on April 23, the US has seen a new chance to put into place its “road map” for peace.By May 5, the Palestinians had accepted the plan, but Israel still wanted major changes to be made.The latest fighting between the two states began in September 2000. Over the past 31 months, thousands of Palestinians and Israelis have been killed or injured. Israel and Palestine have fought against each other since Israel created its own state in 1948. When Israel won the 1967 war, it gained control of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. Since then, the Palestinians have demanded these three areas be part of their state.Mahmoud Abbas became Palestines new prime minister after Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat was forced to agree to share his power. Both the US and Israel had refused to enter into peace talks with Arafat, whom they consider unreliable.The road map for peace leads in two directions: the safety of Israel and a state for the Palestinians.Three-step planThe plan was written last December by the US, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia.*The first step is to stop the violence on both sides. Palestinians would draw up a constitution(宪法) for their government. And Israelis living on land that was once Palestine would not build new homes.*The second step calls for an international conference that draws up the creation of a Palestinian state.*The final step aims for a lasting agreement between Israel and Palestine, and the support of neighboring Arab states.UncertaintyUS officials hope that both sides will follow the road to peace by 2005.But to take the first step will be no easy task. Hours before the plan was announced, a suicide bomber killed himself and three others in Tel Aviv, Israel. The next day, 12 Palestinians were killed and 15 others were injured in an attack by the Israeli army on Gaza City. In other recent fighting in Gaza City on May 8, four more Palestinians were killed.The Palestinians say that the two sides should be taking steps at the same time. But Israel demands the first step must be an end to Palestinian violence.In the face of such disagreement, many analysts(分析家) dont believe the plan can ensure a peaceful future in the Middle East.58.What is the main point of this story?AThe fighting between Israel and Palestine.BThe long process for Israel and Palestine to achieve peace.CNew chance and plan for peace in the Middle East.DInternational efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.59.What lies at the root of the conflicts(冲突) between Israel and Palestine?AIsraelis and Palestinians have different beliefs.BIsraelis live on land that once belonged to Palestinians.CThe founding of IsraelDDisagreement on how to bring about peace.60.Which of the following is not true?AIsrael and Palestine havent taken steps to work for peace at the same tim
