17．How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change color to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimps．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000shrimps!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish （觀賞魚）．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．

71．The sea horse got its name because of itsA．
A．head     B．tail          C．skin       D．pouch
72．How does a sea horse keep safe from other fish？A
A．It hides in plants and grasses．    B．It runs away quickly．
C．It remains still．                  D．It rolls up．
73．We can learn from the text that sea horsesC．
A．like to move around                       B．live in cold ocean waters
C．feed on small sea animals                 D．change color with the temperature
74．What does a female sea horse do with her eggs？A
A．She puts them in the male's pouch．
B．She hides them in sea grasses．
C．She carries them around．
D．She hatches them．
75．Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller？B
A．They grow at a very low speed．
B．Their homes are being destroyed．
C．They are killed by people for food．
D．Their food is becoming less and less．

5．Country-dwellers（農(nóng)村居民） often say the constant noise，heavy traffic and crowds of the city would drive them mad．Well，they might be right，according to the latest research．City residents are more likely to develop mental illnesses than those who live in villages，a study has found．
Researchers from Cardiff university examined the lifestyles of more than 200，000people in Sweden and found that those who lived in urban areas were more at risk from mental illnesses than people who lived in villages．
The experts don't know exactly why this is but they suggest that town and city residents are more likely to be ostracized（排擠） by those around them．They are more likely to experience discrimination（歧視） if they do not fit in，which can lead to them feeling anxious and even developing mental illnesses．
Dr Stanley Zammit，who led the research said that people living in towns and cities are more likely to develop other mental illnesses that result in personality changes-a condition known as non-affective psychosis（非情感性精神�。�
Earlier this year an official report found that village-dwellers live an average of two years longer than those living in towns and cities．According to figures from the Office of National Statistics in the UK，men who live in villages are likely to live for between 78and 79years，while those in towns and cities can expect to survive to an age of 76．Women on average survive to their 81st birthday in towns and cities，but live to between 82and 83in villages．The small marked town of Wimborne Minster in rural Dorset was named the healthiest place to live in．

61．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Country-dwellers are more likely to develop mental illnesses．
B．City-dwellers are more likely to develop mental illnesses．
C．Country-dwellers live longer than city-dwellers．
D．City-dwellers live longer than country-dwellers．
62．The research from Cardiff University was based on the people'sD．
A．interests． B．characters． C．occupations． D．lifestyles．
63．It can be inferred thatD．
A．people like living in towns and cities
B．city-dwellers enjoy their peaceful city life
C．village-dwellers are more likely to be looked down upon by others
D．village-dwellers get along better with their neighbors than city-dwellers．
64．Non-affective psychosis is a kind of mental illnesses that is linked toA
A．character change  B．temperature rise  C．pressure increase  D．energy weakening
65．We can learn from the last paragraph that generallyA．
A．women living in villages live the longest
B．women living in cities live the longest
C．men living in villages live the longest

12．A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China-"tuhao"-which loosely translated means"nouveau riche"．There have been more than 100 million references to the word"tuhao"on social media since early September．
It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building，to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling，and the new gold-coloured iPhone．
In Chinese"tu"means earth and"hao"means rich．To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background，and have made it rich quick-but don't quite have the manners，or sophistication to go along with it．It's like the term"nouveau riche"，says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham-but has even more negative meanings，suggesting a certain vulgarity（粗俗）．
"Tuhao"is actually an old word-dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1，500 years ago-but it has always meant something rather different．During the communist revolution，from the 1920s to early 1950s，it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them．
This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich，but unhappy man，who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice，expecting to be told to live a more simple life．The monk replies instead with the phrase："Tuhao，let's be friends!"
Chinese internet users are highly creative in their use of language，and are constantly inventing，and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship rules．But in this case，its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it brieflyhttp://www．ks5u．com/expresses China's changing society so well-many people sneerat those with wealth，but are secretly jealous．
51．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Tuhao，a new popular word in China
B．The long history of Tuhao
C．The new usage of Tuhao
D．Tuhao，a newly-invented Chinese word
52．Which of the following may NOT be considered"tuhao"？D
A．A vulgar nouveau riche 
B．A bully landholder
C．A quick-rich peasant without proper manners
D．A Buddhist monk．
53．The last but one paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．what the new usage of the word is
B．how the word becomes popular again
C．why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk
D．what advice the monk gave the unhappy man
54．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？C
A．respect      B．envy    C．underestimate    D．disbelieve．

2．Most musicians agree that the best violins were made in Cremona，Italy，about 200 years ago．They even sound better than violins made today．Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old Italian violins．But they aren't the same．Why are these old Italian violins so special？Many people think they have an answer．
Some people think it is the age of the violins．But there is a problem here．Not all old violins sound wonderful．Only those from Cremona are special．So age cannot be the answer．
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood．The wood of the violin is very important．It must be from certain kinds of trees．It must not be too young or too old．Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violins．
But the kind of wood may not be so important．It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way．Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully．It has to be the right size and shape．The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin．Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians．
Size and shape may not be the answer either．Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape．But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one．Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish（清漆），which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny．It also helps the sound of the instrument．Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish，no one can make the same varnish today．
There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona．And there are not many of the old violins left．So these old violins are becoming more and more precious．
71．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．The Secrets of Cremona Violins     B．The History of Italian Violins
C．Special Musical Instruments        D．How to Make the Best Violins
72．The main purpose of the first paragraph is toB．
A．list some facts                    B．raise a question
C．give an opinion                    D．offer an answer
73．What is still unclear about Cremona violins according to the writer？D
A．The shape．    B．The size．    C．The wood．    D．The varnish．
74．Which of the following words can best describe Cremona violins？C
A．Light．        B．Shining．    C．Valuable．    D．Modern．
75．What can we learn from this passage？C
A．Modern things are always better than ancient ones．
B．Ancient things are always better than modern ones．
C．Once a cultural relic is lost，it can never be recovered． 
D．Varnish for violins will become more and more precious．

fit in，creating interpersonal cliques and violence．

6．Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE．
Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming，aged 32，laborer，last July．The jury （陪審團） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out．It was，said the judge，a simple case．Cumming an d Cleary had quar reled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming．When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered，"Just don't tell my mother．"
"It happened over three years ago，"Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother，"said Fee numbly．"And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee dear，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"
    She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，"she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well-his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"
    Paddy was still weeping，but not for Frank，for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．
    Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，F(xiàn)rank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．
So he said，"Well，F(xiàn)ee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"
 
20．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer．
B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later．
C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．
D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him．
21．Paddy didn't cry for Frank because he thoughtC．
A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
22．Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank？A
A．"Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"
B．"Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．"
C．"Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，F(xiàn)rank took it away．"
D．"The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"
23．"She half-rose before sinking back …"（in Paragraph 6）shows thatD．
A．Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
