For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难) or even a wonder. There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages bread, vegetables and other things not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians dont have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals education or helping the old.60.According to the writer, Britain is a country_.A.which has regular snow B.which is not well prepared for snowC.for which snow is not a catastrophe D.for which snow is a wonder61. The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except_A. traffic B. communication C. food supplies D. service quality62.

Fish dont need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. Theyre born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.But instincts and training arent the only keys to animals behavior. Scientists say animals thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools! If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language. She has learned hundreds of words! Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she signed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed. Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions. “Most animals cant use words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says theres even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment. “Scientists who study animals natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”63. The underlined word “instincts” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the ability that _.A. animals copy their parentsB. animals learn by practicingC. animals are born withD. animals learn through training64. The example of Koko shows that _.A. an animal likes to have its own pet B. an animal can learn to speak through trainingC. an animal has the natural ability to speak D. an animal can speak its mind by signing65. According to Balcombe, learning how animals live and think can _.A. help people care for animals B. teach animals to use wordsC. train animals to use tools D. train animals to be cleverer66. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Raising animals as pets B. Training animals to speakC. Understanding animals D. Protecting animals from danger1. 单词拼写 1.

I find the school life in Australia is quite different.Australian school hours are shorter and the students have more free time. Students here usually attend school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each student in the school has his own locker for books and personal items. In the morning, they have morning tea time and they can eat something such as biscuits or chocolates. In this way they refresh themselves. After the students finish their lessons, they can do whatever they like. Some take part in the outdoor activities, such as playing football or basketball. Some just take a walk on the campus and do some reading. Others go home early and develop their own interests.Australian high school students dont have so much pressure before entering university. Students are required to take certain subjects like English, maths, science and physical education. The school not only offers the standard school curriculum (课程), but also vocational (职业的) education programs, The students can choose among the elective subjects according to their own interests and career goals. They can even leave school if they have a job. Nobody will force them to do what they dont like to.When we attend the classes, we find the students feel much relaxed with the teachers. The class size is much smaller compared to that of China. Usually the number of the students in each class is twenty to thirty. The desks are arranged in groups instead of in rows. Some students even sit on the floor and listen to the teacher. The students are very active in class instead of learning passively. They feel free to ask and answer questions without the fear of making mistakes. When they try to express themselves, they just sit and neednt stand up.Australian high school students are confident (自信) and independent (独立). They enjoy a colorful and meaningful school life.High School life in AustraliaSchool life in Australia is quite different from (1) in China.
