While calming myself down with soft music, I started to recall what happened in the daytime and wrote it down.The accident that gave me much thought happened on my way to the gym after work. When I walked about half way, I saw that many people surrounded something on the roadside and they were worried and shocked. I joined them and found there was a man lying on the ground. I noticed that he was a young man around 30 years old. He looked so pale and very thin. From his dressing, I simply judged that he worked in the office. The hospital ambulance came over and some nurses did the regular check for him. A nurse said that there was nothing serious with him but his body was very weak, which should be caused by overwork and less exercise.Its a really sad thing for a young person to fall down in the street. A couple of days ago, I read a magazine mentioning that there is an increasing number of businessmen and white-collar workers with unhealthy bodies. Under huge pressure, they put all their time and energy to work and cant find enough time for a good meal or a good sleep, let alone exercise. But they forget that without health, work is equivalent to zero.As I realize how important it is to put the health matter ahead, I am willing to do more exercise. I know exercise can bring me enjoyment and health. I know without health, even a most successful career and a great amount of money will lose their meanings. When I got out of the gym, I felt that every cell in my body was refreshed and I was able to have more energy to write the words above. The feeling in sweat was wonderful!56.

It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the Worlds Worst Dog.” Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didnt like to learn skills that didnt belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dogs. He didnt want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them. Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans. He didnt know how to dance, and he didnt know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much. 60.

And some buried seeds stay alive even for forty years. Many farmers remove (去除) all the seeds and roots so the plants will not grow back. But birds or the wind can take them back to the land. Farmers need to control the weed well enough so that the land can be used for planting. Besides using chemical weed killers to hold back the weed growth, experts advise several other control methods to deal with weeds. Dense(稠密的) planting of a crop acts as one of the most common natural methods for controlling weeds. A dense, competitive crop will quickly shade the soil. Thus the seeds will grow slowly or even die because of a lack of sunlight. Other control methods including turning over the soil, pulling the weeds by hand or covering them with mulch (覆盖物) made from wood, garden waste or other material are also effective. Mulch is widely used, but even mulch has its limits. Experts note that weeds can be transported in mulch. This is also true of soil, grain, hay and animals. Yet animals like sheep or goats can provide a biological control they eat weeds. Insects can also eat weeds.Preventing the spread of weeds is an important part of weed management. Farm vehicles should be kept out of areas with weeds. If that is not possible, clean off the equipment and your shoes when leaving. People in Queensland are advised to take weeds and garden waste to a waste center or burn them. Piling up weeds to make fertilizer(肥料) is another way to deal with them. The process of making fertilizer produces heat. The heat will kill many weed seeds. The same is true of seeds that pass through farm animals that feed on weeds. 64. Weeds are difficult to deal with because _.a. their seeds have strong lifeb. they can produce many seedsc. chemical weed killers cant kill themd. their seeds can be transported easily e. their roots are too deep to be taken out A. ace.B. abd.C. bcd.D. bde. 65.

What will kill weed seeds when farmers pile up weeds to make fertilizer?A. The lack of air.B. The poisonous gas.C. The high temperature.D. The special chemicals.67. Why should farmers clean off their shoes before they leave their fields?A. Because they might take away some crop seeds.B. Because some rich soil might be attached to them.C. Because they might take away some fertilizer along with them.D. Because they might take away weed seeds along with them.D 难度：Solar water heaters are devices that use energy from the sun to heat water. The solar water heater described here is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. It can heat seventy liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average outside temperature of thirty-two degrees Celsius.The solar water heater has two parts. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. This metal surface(表面), placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. Black-painted surfaces that receive the suns heat become hotter than the surface of any other color. The black metal sheet is called a collector. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Metal sheets that have raised sections will work very well. These corrugated (有波纹的) metal sheets are often used to make the roofs of houses. The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank(贮存箱) can be a container that holds about one hundred liters. Two rubber pipes are connected to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the tank. The other lets water flow out. When the solar water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. The storage tank is covered with material called insulation (绝缘材料). This allows the water to stay warm for a long time. At night the water in the collector will cool down.But the temperature of the water in the solar water heater can only reach one hundred degrees Celsius at most. If you want to know the temperature of the water exactly, you can add a special thermometer (温度计) to your solar water heater.68. What do we know about the solar water heater designed in Afghanistan?A. It cant heat water in the afternoon.B. It can heat water to 60 at most.C. It works better on a sunny day.D. It can only hold seventy liters of water.69. The metal surface of a solar water heater is painted black because in this way it can _.A. reach a higher temperature after receiving the sameamount of sunlightB. store more sunlight compared with the sheets of the other colorsC. allow the water in the solar water heater system to flow fastD. make the solar water heater look more beautiful 70. Which can be removed from a solar water heater as it is not a necessary part?A. A collector.B. A storage tank.C. A pipe.D. A thermometer.71. What can we know from the passage?A. The first solar water heater was invented in Afghanistan. B. The flat metal sheet will work better in a solar water heater.C. The collector of the solar water heater can keep water warm at night.D. The corrugated metal sheets can be used as a material for house building.E 难度：One of the most important birthdays for a teenage girl is her sweet sixteen birthday. A sweet sixteen celebration has more milestones（转折点） compared to her previous birthday celebrations since it marks the beginning of a more responsible adult-teenage life. So it demands （要求）more attention and time and should be started off with a party and style. Here are some of the sweet sixteen party ideas that you must keep in mind when planning for your daughters birthday party. 1. _Most parents love surprise parties, but a sweet sixteen party shouldnt be one of them. The party should be planned together with the celebrant（圣事主持者） because it requires much preparation. Also, the things that you like might not be what your daughter likes and it may not turn out to be a great event for her. 2. _When planning for the party, the first thing that you should do is to plan for the time and place. You should plan the party at least two months before her birthday. After planning for the time, find the right venue, where an indoor or outdoor party could be held.3. _Choosing a theme should be fun and exciting. Focusing on a certain theme will make planning easier. Some great ideas are a pool or beach party, a formal party at a banquet hall or a casual high-tea backyard party. Other nice themes to choose from are the pink sweet sixteen theme, musical rock-concert theme, or Hollywood theme. 4. _Choose a main course and add desserts such as salads, cakes, and fruits. It is possible that the kids will be staying a bit longer, so you had better prepare some finger foods for the snacks. As for the beverages, choose sodas and juices because most of your visitors are kids.72. Match the followin
