I work for the 3M Company.”An hour later, the nurse returned to congratulate the third man on the birth of his quadruplets (四胞胎). Surprised, he only could answer, “I dont believe it! I work for the Four Seasons Hotel!”After this, everyone turned to the fourth man who had just fainted (晕). The nurse ran fast to his side.

You might even need to leave your home right away. So you are supposed to plan for the bad situations before the disaster comes. Here are some suggestions： First, have a family meeting. Plan a way to get your family members together if they cant find each other after the disaster. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isnt safe to return home. The first should be near your house. You can go there in an emergency(紧急情况) like a fire. The second meeting place should be outside your neighborhood. Next, choose a person outside your area who can help your family get in touch with each other. After a disaster, it is often easier to communicate over a long-distance call than a local one. The person can pass messages between your family members. Then, get a family disaster kit ready. It should include things your family needs. It can help you survive (生存) at least for three days like bread, water, medicine and things like that. Put them in a bag so you can carry it if you leave in a hurry. When doing it, remember that different people have different needs. Include special things necessary for elderly or young members of your family.Finally, practice your emergency plan, and update (更新) it as necessary. You may not be able to stop disasters, but with a little planning you can be helped.58. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five59.

Whats the best title of this passage? A. Planning for Disasters B. How Different Disasters Happen C. Practicing your Plan D. Where to Stay away from DisastersDDifferent colours can influece (影响) us in many different ways, according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. “Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste（牙膏） is always white or blue or maybe red. Its never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品)as being a bit disgusting. Its the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we dont respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. Overall, its an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, its up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.62. Whats Veritys opinion about colours?A. Colours help people choose products. B. Different people prefer different colours.C. Colours have influences on people in many ways. D. People working in colour industry know little about colours.63. According to Verity in Paragraph 2, why is a knowledge of colour important?A. It can help you choose the products. B. It can help you save a lot of money.C. It can help cure serious diseases. D. It can help you enjoy your life.64. The underlined word “disgusting” probably means_.A. pleasant B. popular C. unpleasant D. unpopular65. Whats the passage mainly about?A. How people use colours. B. What happens in a programme about colours. C. How colours change people. D.What makes a programme believable. 五、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。(每空一词)66.Could you give me some_ (建议) on how to learn English well?OK, Id love to.67.I have a pair of shoes_ (类似于) to yours.68.Today is sunny.

Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention. Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables like fish, eggs, and milk.

Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues (组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye. You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which mak
