They buried (埋) treasure to stop other people from taking it. They chose a quiet place, dug a deep hole and buried the treasure in it. Then they made a map of where the treasure was or wrote down other clues（线索）that would help them or someone else to find it again. In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it. One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephensons“Treasure Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates (海盗) and later finds some buried treasure. Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trustbanks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building. And then there was a woman who buried her savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof（防水的）bag. When she dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it. And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map. Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.69.

Reading comprehension (阅读理解) （50分）A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择恰当的答案)：（12分） Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world- A hug! There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share. A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart. In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled (依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually. How great the power of a hug is! The need for hugs doesnt disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health. Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness.

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (12分)In the past you could draw anything you wanted on a computer screen and then print it out on a piece of paper-a flat piece of paper. But imagine being able to print something that is three-dimensional-3D.Would you like to design an object, such as a cup of toy, and then “print” it out? Well, there is the technology to help you do this-to produce even a whole house! 3D printers might be the size of a suitcase, or even a small room, depending on the object they are made to produce. You make a 3D design on your computer and sent it to the printer. Inside the machine, the object you have designed is made as one object. So how is this being used? In medicine, 3D printing is often used to make teeth. The dentist takes a 3D image, something like a photo, of a real tooth and a new one is printed in the exact shape. Then you might also want to print a mobile phone cover or a special pair of shoes. Scientists are taking this even further. They have made a bicycle that just needs a chain and two tyres (轮胎).Car parts have been made for a while, and now they are even making a body of a whole car! But imagine how printing a whole house might help people build houses. A Chinese company has made houses using a giant 3D printer. They use a mixture that includes concrete(混凝土)and recycled building waste. This is a good thing as it helps the environment. They believe that their method of printing houses is cheaper, faster, less dusty and less noisy than the ordinary way that houses are built. It seems that 3D printing technology will change our world, and China is leading the way.69.3D _enables you to “print” out many objects you design on your computer.
