A scientist in Sao Paulo wanted bees to make more honey（蜂蜜）. So he put forty-six African bees with some Brazilian bees .The bees bred（繁殖）and made a new kind of bees .But the new bees were a mistake .They didnt want to make more honey .They wanted to attack .Then ,by accident ,twentysix African bees escaped and bred with the Brazilian bees outside.Scientists could not control（控制） the problem. The bees increased fast .They went from Brazil to Venezuela . Then they went to Central America. Now they are in North America. They travel about 390 miles a year. Each group of bees grows four times a year .This means one million new groups every five years.Why are people afraid of killer bees ?People are afraid for two reasons .First ,the bees sting（叮）many more times than usual bees .Killer bees can sting sixty times a minute non-stop for two hours. Second ,killer bees attack in groups. Four hundred bee stings can kill a person.Already several hundred people are dead. Now killer bees are in Texas .In a few years they will reach all over the United States .People can do nothing but wait.56After the African bees lived together with the Brazilian bees ,they .Amade more honeyBmade a new kind of beesCmade a mistakeDwanted to attack57Why are people afraid of killer bees?AThey increase fast .BSeveral hundred people are dead.CThey sting more and attack in groups.

In 1979 ,some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world .Bungee jumping came to China in 1996.Skateboarding: At first ,this sport was called “sidewalk surfing” .Skateboarders often jump high into the air ,go down steps or slide（滑行）down rails on their boards . They wear baggy trousers so they can move more freely.Skydiving: This is probably the scariest（最惊险的）extreme sport. Skydivers jump out of airplanes about four kilometers up in the sky. They usually free-fall for a while and then open a parachute to slow down for a safe landing.Snowboarding: This became a winter Olympic sport in 1998.People tied their feet to the board with special shoes .They dont use any ski sticks .Then, they ride down hills ,jump high and do tricks.60What made bungee jumping popular all over the world?AA history of hundreds of years.BJumping over a river in England.CComing to China in 1996.DJumping off a bridge in Britain.61In which sports do people jump from a plane or from a high place?ABungee jumping and skydiving.BSkydiving and skateboarding.CBungee jumping and skateboarding.DSnowboarding and skateboarding.62Why do some people like to do the extreme sports ?AIts exciting and safe.BIts dangerous but exciting.CIts scary but safe.DIts easy to learn.CMost children with healthy appetites（食欲）are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them .A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked .The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a childs appetite . Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so .If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the childs hearing, he may copy this action Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will .Nothing healthy should be go out of from the meal because of a supposed dislike .At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he may eat all at once .Do not talk too much to the child during meal times ,but let him get on with his food ;and do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal ,or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room .On no condition（任何情况下都不）must a child be coaxed（哄骗）or made to eat .63A child with a healthy appetite will eat if it is not badly cooked.Aonly a little of the foodBall the foodCsome of the foodDalmost all the food64 can make a child like eating more.AOffering as much as possibleBPlaying with toysCThe way a meal is well cooked and servedDThe way parents eat 65Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?ATo discuss the food a parent dislikes.BTo ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.CNever to discuss likes or dislikes of food.DTo talk a lot to the child.66If a child is allowed to leave the table at once after a meal ,he will .Aeat moreBstop eatingCdislike the mealDlearn to eat hurriedlyDA Japanese toy maker says that theyve developed a gadget（小器具）that translates dog barks （吠）into human languages and plan to begin selling the gadgetsunder the name of Bowlingualin the US pet stores and present shops this summer.People laughed when the Japanese toy maker Takara company made the worlds first dog-human translation machine last year .But about 300,000 of them have been sold since it was on sale in Japan last year .Far bigger sales will be expected once an English language translation machine for dogs comes to America in August .The United States is home to about 67 million dogs ,more than six times the number in Japan.“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much ,so we dont think theyll mind spending $ 120 on this gadget”, the Takara marketing manager said before the journalists at a meeting in Atlanta. Bowlingual ,one of US Time magazines coolest inventions of 2002, has two parts .A microphone is tied to the dogs collar（项圈）and sends out sound information to the gadget held by the owner .Then the translation is done in the gadget by a database （数据库）with every kind of barks .Those barks show six feelingshappiness, sadness ,disappointment ,anger ,declaration and desire .Each of the feelings is then translated into words like “Lets play.” “Look at me !” or “Spend more time with me.”Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget .One thing that seems certain is that the markets for animal translation machines will probably be a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop such a gadget for cats . “They are too unpredictable （反复无常） ,”the marketing manager said.67The first three paragraphs of the passage mainly tell us that Bowlingual .Awas invented in JapanBhas developed quicklyCwill be sold in AmericaDsells well for its price68The underlined word “they” in the last sentence refers to .Amarkets Bdogs CplansDcats69When was this passage most probably written?AIn the winter of 2002.BIn the spring of 2003.CIn
