Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and _45_ gravity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. “Yes, you can buy a ticket and fly to another city. But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to _46_ is totally different,” Dong Fang said in an excited voice. He is one of 41 students from Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground. _47_ by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the U.K., Ni Wangyue, a teacher in the high school is holding a similar event. The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971 in the England costal city Bognor. People run off the end of a pier (码头) with their own aircraft in a(n) _48_ to “fly” the furthest distance. “From the very beginning, I didnt expect my students to create a real plane or break any records. I told them the _49_ is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,” said Ni. He was surprised to see his students create 10 different aircrafts with all kinds of material _ 50_ in the past month. Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their plane than in ordinary classes. “Wed rather call ourselves dreamers _51_ pilots because no matter whether our wings really take off from the ground, our dream really flies,” said Dong Fang. Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane “Weiming E”, which _52_an unknown goose. The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth(帆布) will honour its name by successfully taking off. “Our work is much more imaginative than others. With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings it is _53_ the most eye-catching work, if not the best,” said Yu Liang, another student. “_54_ most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying, the boys braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future,”Ni said.45.

Moreover(2)Out of water, out of food, many people in New Orleans, US were in big trouble, crouching(蜷缩) on roofs of houses, waiting for _55_. Floodwater were beating the walls a few metres below.In early September, New Orleans was badly hit by Hurricane Katrina. The whole city was left in _56_. Thousands of citizens lost their lives. Deaths figures are the biggest in the US since the San Francisco earthquake in 1993. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mPeople feel very sad about the natural disaster. But we should also consider about the role human beings have played in _57_ our natural environment.Scientists point out that the flooding from Hurricane Katrina may have been caused by _58_ activity. They believe the greenhouse effect has caused icebergs at both poles of the earth to _59_, resulting in sea level rise. As most of the land in New Orleans lies below sea level, it is possible that sea level _60_ could have had an effect.Along the seafront, forests have been cut down to make _61_ for hotels and restaurants. By losing this shield(盾牌)，the city seemed too weak to fight against Hurricane Katrina.We have all learnt that nature is like a _62_ net, where humans are just a very small part, together with animals, plants air and more. When we destroy some parts, the balance is broken and disasters arrive. Perhaps this is why more natural disasters are happening.America produces the most greenhouse gas of all the countries. But it _63_ to sign the “ Kyoto Protocol”(京都议定书)，which aims to limit its waste gas. Perhaps Hurricane Katrina will act as a(n) _64_ to the US Government. It should also remind us that we should try our best to protect the earth before we regret it.55. A. replyB. releaseC. rescueD. recognition 56. A. returnB. caseC. fearD. ruins57.

A. signB. symbol C. remainderD. alarm(3)How do superstitions（迷信） begin? Todays most common superstitions go back many _45_. Take, for example, the superstition that its bad luck to _46_ a mirror. This superstition probably began in ancient times. Back then, people believed their reflections（映象）in the mirror contained a part of their _47_. So, when people broke a mirror, they also _48_ their soul.Why would this bring seven years of bad luck? Well, Romans believed life _49_ itself every seven years. So a broken soul would take seven years to _50_. Today most people dont know how or where superstitions _51_. If you ask most Westerners why its bad luck to break a mirror, they probably wont know. And theyll probably tell you that they dont really believe that the superstition is true. _52_ many of them may still skeptically follow it.Other people follow superstitions without even thinking about it. For example, if Im waiting for some good news, I may ask my friends to “ Cross their _53_.” But I dont really believe that this will bring me any _54_ luck.45.

So53.A. arms B. legs C. feet D. fingers54. A. bad B. normal C. additional D. terrible(4)Long after the 1988 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher _55 an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in _56_.Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted（转变） to a _57_ match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then _58_ the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. _59_, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, _60_, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12meters. The researcher shows the optimum（最佳的） distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed, correct decisions _61_ when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for _62_ was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to he _63_ standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their _64_ on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.55.

A. eyes B. attention C. minds D. carefulnessw.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m(5)For women, life can be a balance between being a good mother, a good wife and a good lover, and considering the needs of elderly parents later in life. Combine these _45_ with wanting to develop a career and what time do they have _46_ for themselves?Men are busy with _47_ enough to satisfy family requirements, which often include additional _48_ for childrens college or university. They are _49_ about developing their own career while _50_ to take in the requirement of their partner. Again, what time do they have for themselvers? How do we solve these problems?Activities and demands need to be balance. Get rid of what is not _51_. When excessive (过多的)demands are placed on you, say, No.At first it will be difficult, _52_ as you start to get some equality _53_ into your life, you will feel better. In todays world, it is very easy ot _54_ far more than one can manage. Just taking little Johnny to football every Sunday after taking his sister to netball on Saturday wastes the whole weekend. 45.

I have drawn out characteristics to form the _55_ teacher. The person has no age or sex requirements _56_ this person must be pleasant to look at. I dont believe teachers have to be beautiful but they have to keep _57_ well groomed. I have had a teacher who didnt keep herself well groomed; the other students and I found her _58_ quite distracting. I believe that a teacher should wear the clothes he or she likes, but not things that are shocking or totally _59_. I find that students spend more time _60_ than they do listening. This person should know his or her _61_ in detail. He or she must also possess a certain _62_ for it to get the students enthusiastic. He or she must be able to make lessons _63_ and pick out little details that relate it to the students. A teacher who just relays facts _64_ to be boring . A student can pick out facts from a textbook; it is the teacher who is to tie the subject together in an interesting fashion. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m55. A. real B. beautiful C. ideal D. pleasant56.

Reading Comprehension(1)Meteorite(陨石) Makes a Crash LandingNational Geographic Kids MagazineNovember 05, 2004 A grapefruit-size meteorite crashed through the roof of a house in New Zealand this spring, struck into a sofa, hit the ceiling, and rolled under a table. Experts say the extremely hot rock was traveling about 300 miles an hour ( 500 kilometers an hour) when it crashed through the roof. Its landing made a terrific explosion.
