Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Mollys mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false legA few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Mollys legs and left large cuts in her face. Mollys owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Mollys life, but soon one of her legs became very infected (感染).At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to an end. But Molly changed their minds. This horse, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a horse with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!56. Molly is the name of a_. .A. dog B. horseC. parentD. child57.

It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition(营养不良) and heart-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions. Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries,were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr., a politicalscientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forums report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid（在.中间） the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable(易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed(有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty（条约）.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still controling the emissions of the heat-trapping（热处理）gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.59. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.B. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.C. Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D. Economic trends have to do withpopulation and natural disasters.60. What do we learn about the Forums report from the passage?A. It caused a big stir(轰动) all over the world.B. It was warmly received by environmentalists.C. It caused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.D. It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.61. What is Soren Andreasens view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.62. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.B. How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.C. How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D. How rich and poor regionscan share responsibility in curbing global warming.CMy l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but Johns eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said. Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “Youre right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never mistake a persons clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.63. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A. The coat looked like a magical coat.B. They were good at shopping.C. The coat was a real bargain.D. They had the same taste in clothes.64. What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A wide smile.B. A worried look.C. A jealous spirit.D. A joking tone.65. After John wore the new coat, the author found he _.a. was happier and better-behavedb. received more praise from his teachersc. was willing to follow suggestionsd. made rapid progress in studye. would say sweet words to please herA. a, b, cB. a, c, eC. b, d, eD. c, d, e66. What message does the author intend to deliver in the article?A. We should not judge people by their appearance.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. Its beneficial to try different things in our lives.D. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.DBRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have advantages and disadvantages.GOOD NEWSFree museumsNo charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities（文物）.Pop musicBritain is the only country to compare with the US on this score.Black cabsLondon taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.Choice of foodVisitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.FashionNot only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.BAD NEWSPoor service“Its part of the image of the placePeople can dine out on the rudeness they haveexperienced,” says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton Universitys International Tourism ResearchCenter.Poor public transportTrains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the overcrowded London tube is inexplicably (难以理解的) popular.RainStill in the number one complaint.No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.Overpriced hotelsThe only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.Licensing hoursAlcohol (酒) is in short supply after 1
