On that particular day, a south wind had been gusting(劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern, so we carried on with our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.The storm gave us very little warming. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then, we were not really worried, as the clouds seemed to be moving over our houses and towards the distant mountains. Then, just as the clouds had moved inland, the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.Instantly, we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river. If the river flooded, they should be safe there.In the meantime, my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off, it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows. If the storm developed into a cyclone (旋风), the boards would protect the glass.The storm tagged for four hours, pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock.Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope, the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. “All’s well that ends well,” said my mother.56. When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance, ____.A. the family were surprisedB. they were extremely worriedC. they were preparing for the worstD. they faced the storm bravely57. “There was very little we could do about the crops” indicate that ____.A. little damage would be done to the cropsB. they had everything ready for the cropsC. they felt unable to protect the cropsD. the crops should be safe enough there58. The underlined word “stock” in the third paragraph refers to ____.A. money owned by the familyB. goods for saleC. supplies for family useD. farm animals59. It can be inferred from what the mother said that ____.A. they had no damage at allB. everything went beyond their expectationC. everything was under controlD. the family could have suffered a greater lossBBuster Brown was a thief –and a good one, too, he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.Confidently, he stood outside the house of his intended victim (受害者) and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don’t worry about the dog — be aware of the owner!” it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag, a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster, then wagged its tail madly and went over to him, licking his outstretched hand. “Good boy,” Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are — trying to lick me to death.”Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog, Buster began to wander round the house, choosing itemsto put in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques (古董): a pair of silver candleholders, asilver tea-and-coffee service, etc. His new friend, the dog, sat and watched, as if wondering what washappening.“Well, boy,” Buster whispered finally, “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!”He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shieldedhis eyes with his hand.“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite placewhere he had seen him before.“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,”the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!”60. Why was Buster so confident?A. He was not afraid of dogs.B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone.C.

He took only the best antiques.C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.D. He looked for silver objects.63. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?A. A prison sentence with hard labour.B. A long prison sentence.C. A heavy fine.D. Community service for 20 years.CEarly people had very little effect on the environment. They lived in caves in very small ‘clan’ groups. They collected or killed only enough for the clan’s survival. Early clans were nomadic, which means that they did not stay in one place. Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild. Moving around seasonally helped to protect the environment. The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed (繁殖) before the clan returned for the next season.As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection. Joining with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between families. Eventually, people tamed (驯养) wild animals such as dogs and horses. People settled around rivers and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties. Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to areas where the plants grew. This development changed the environment.Traditional forms of work also changed. Some people were better at performing a particular task than other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing. This also meant that they began to exchange their goods for things that others produced.People began to communicate with distant tribes. Land was cleared for roads. Foreign plants and animals were transported to places where they had not existed before. Specialization also gave people more free time. So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts. This was how many great civilizations started.Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed society that exists today. Populations have increased rapidly. Forests have been cleared for farms. Inventions and technology have made work easier.However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress. As concerned citizens, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment.64. Early tribes didn’t have much effect on animal population because ____.A. they kept animals for themselvesB. they ate only vegetablesC. they killed only enough for foodD. they loved animals65. The main purpose for small clans to join together was ____.A. to hunt animalsB. to seek safetyC. to share cavesD. to protect environment66. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. Early people moved to new places looking for new sources of food.B. Modern civilization began when people started to live together in big groups.C. Modern advancements are always good for the environment.D. People began to exchange goods because they didn’t have enough money.67. It can be concluded from the passage that ____.A. human progress has brought civilization to the societyB. civilization has improved traditional forms of workC. our environment has been affected by human progressD. early people understood environmental protectionDAn ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish. Most people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field. Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens (样本). Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists. They must be able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it. They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge.Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is aquaculture (水产养殖). This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management. Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientists to find out more about different fish species. The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans.To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own. You also need to be able to handle equipment and perform experiments; but most importantly, you must love fish. To become an ichthyologist, you will need to train at a university to pass a Bachelor of Science degree. For this, you will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology. Then, you will need to study for another year to complete an honours degree in ichthyology. This honours degree contains coursework about all aspects of fish. You also need to complete a research paper.68. What makes the jobs of ichthyologists so varied?A. They study fish habits and collect information.B. They have to study science and mathematics.C. They work in fields as well as in laboratories.D. They read research papers written by others.69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. An ichthyologist has an interesting and varied profession.B. Aquaculture is the study of fish protection.C. The life of an ichthyologist can involve lots of travel.C. A fish scientist needs to be independent and curious about things.70. Who is most likely to become an ichthyologist?A. Tom, because he likes fishing and outdoor sports.B. Jack, because he likes to travel and read adventure books.C. Jenny, because she likes science, mathematics and reading about dinosaurs.D. Jane, because she likes mathematics, science, biology and rock-pools.71.
