his childhood home in Vietnam created hundreds of tiny bubbles I saw another world in bubbles and I imagined how nice it would be if I could create a big bubble and be inside it he says Many years later Fan realized that dream He has formed bubbles around hundreds of people made large bubbles that his daughter can walk through and even made square bubbles Fan calls himself a bubble artist and bubble scientist So far I haven t met any other bubble scientist he says To achieve what he wanted Fan worked hard for years After many years of failure I finally came out with a bubble solution that made big bubbles with beautiful colors Five years later after lots of more practice and experiments he created the world s largest bubble which was 156 feet long Fan designed a program called the Gazillion Bubble Show He has many performance tips to offer He says it s good to make the audience feel tension 紧张 so that they are surprised at the end of a trick He also suggests doing performances that are fun to watch so that the audience will stay interested the whole time To perform his tricks Fan uses bubbles equipment that he created himself He wants to know that they re not limited by anything except their imaginations and they can create whatever they want to help them follow their interests To make art you need time love and hard work which guided my life and made me successful I am proud to say that I used something simple bubbles and brought it to a completely new world 60 Fan Yang s bubbles A are easy to break B are of different shapes C come from his hometown river D can change into different colors 61 The audience who enjoy the Gazillion Bubble Show will A feel relaxed all the time B always show great interest C play tricks on the performer D know how to make big

His daughter is studying bubble performances under him 63 What doe s Fan s story tell us A He laughs best who laughs last B Two heads are better than one C Detail is the key to success D Where there s a will there s a way C C Everyone needs friends We all like to feel close to someone It is nice to have a friend to talk laugh and do things with Surely there are times when we need to be alone We don t always want people around But we would feel lonely if we never have a friend No two people are just the same Sometimes friends don t get along well That doesn t mean that they no longer like each other Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends Sometimes friends move away Then we feel very sad We miss them very much But we can call them again and we can make new friends It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them Families sometimes name their children after a close friend Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town Some libraries are named this way So are some schools We think of these people when we go to these places There s more good news for people who have friends They live longer than people who don t Why It could be that they are happier Being happy helps you stay well Or it could be just knowing that someone cares If someone cares about you you take better care of yourself 64 The main idea of this passage is A that people are all friends B that people need friends C how to get to know friends D how to name a place 65 The first paragraph tells us to A what is the feeling of having no friends B we always need friends around us C making friends is a need in people s life D we need to be alone in our life 66 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A People are not happy when their friends leave them B People can know their friends in different ways C People will never see their friends after they move away D People like their friends very much if they get to know them 67 Why do people who have friends live longer than those who don t 用心 爱心 专心8 A Because they feel happier and are healthy B Because they get a lot of help from their friends C Because they take better care of themselves than their families D Because they care for their friends very much D D Dear editor Several days ago I heard that a dear friend of mine had killed herself I was deep in sorrow by the sudden news I can t keep calm any longer I m always thinking about life and death Life is so precious If we can slip into death in an impulsive 冲动的 moment what use in all our efforts and hopes Our families our ambitions everything is thrown into total darkness And death allows no time for regret However the suicide rate increases year by year particularly of young people Reasons may vary from person to person yet I think they share something in common First today s young people are morally weak They are eager for success but can not face failure they are eager to be understood but afraid of opening their hearts to others They live in a wide world from east to west ancient to present but their hearts beat in a narrow desert closed tight unable to communicate Each becomes lonely and weak My friend is a good example of that As a young teacher she was devoted to her work but was disappointed with her students occasional failures She fell in love with a colleague but he deserted her With no close friends disappointed at work and in love death seemed to her the only remaining choice and she took it Another reason for the weakness of today s youth in my opinion comes from society s pressures The young are forced to try too hard to succeed On the other hand society refuses to accept that children sometimes do fail But failure is more important because it can teach the young how to win next time What can we do to save the desperate young 68 The passage wants to tell us A a lot of young people choose death to escape from the society B the number of people who take suicide is larger and larger C the young people should go to see doctors to solve the spiritual problems D the reason why the young kill themselves lies in two main kinds 69 In the writer s opinion failure is A the mother of success B the key to success C good for the young D bad for the young 70 Among the following which one is NOT the cause of my friend s death A She has too much society s pressure B She is not well content with her work 用心 爱心 专心9 C She is disappointed in love D She doesn t get on well with others 71 The passage suggests those people would be most likely to take suicide A who are alone B who are weak minded C who fail in love D who suffer from society s pressures E E A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world They wanted to find out if warming was dangerous to plants and animals The scientists were surprised by what they found They saw that during the next 50 years about 25 of land animals and plants will disappear from the earth More than 1 million plant and animal species will die out by 2050 The head of the research team Christ Thomas who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University said the results of their research were frightening More than 10 of all plants and animals will disappear from the earth It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now we could save many more plants and animals from disappearing The scientists studied some areas of the world with a very rich biology These areas were Europe Australia Central and South America and South Africa Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler In flat areas such as deserts plants and animals would hav
