16．The pen is more powerful than the sword．There have been many writers who use their pens to write things that were wrong．Mrs．Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them．

4．People judge others by what they say and what they do．How you speak to others also contributes to what others think of you．Whether communicating with colleagues and superiors or family and friends，it's beneficial to speak to people politely．（36）EIt makes them more willing to accept what you are saying．
（37）DFor example，"Please close the window"or"Close the window，please"is much more polite than"Close the window"．
Use helping words such as"would"，"could"，"will"and"can"to soften a possible demanding meaning when you want something done．Giving orders as questions makes them more polite．（38）F
Use a soft tone（語氣） when speaking politely．Tone can change the meaning of your words from politeness to anger．（39）GFor example，if you say"I do not want to go"with a stress on the word"not"or"I"and anger in your body language，you will sound less polite than if you keep the tone calm．
Try to pay attention to how loudly you are speaking．（40）CFor example，"I do not want to go"when stated in a low，quiet voice is more likely to be understand as a polite request，than if the same statement is said loudly，like a demand．

B．Some words are important in communication．

11．Haikou：A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya，South China's Hainan Province，on Sunday afternoon．
It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area，a popular tourist site in Hainan．
Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long，l-ton shark by chance when they were fishing in sea water 1，000metres deep near the beach．
Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers（海洋學(xué)家） decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection．
Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed  that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection．
The shark was believed to have drifted（漂移）into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo．It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal bleeding．
Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative（主動(dòng)）．Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago．
However，police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists'safety on the beach．

A．Tourists in Danger
B．Killing Whale Shark

（67）Taking（take） advantage of the burdens properly，we can turn them into wings that help us fly closer and closer to our goals．For one thing，we should treat various burdens differently．Take those worth （68）struggling（struggle） for seriously and let go of the unimportant and unnecessary．For another，once we decide on a worthwhile goal，we should keep the （69）faith（faithfully） that as long as we shoulder any loads with a light heart，we will make（70）iteventually．

5．Forty years ago，F(xiàn)inland was a small country with mediocre（普通）public schools．Today，F(xiàn)inland is still small but no one calls Finland's public schools mediocre any more．
In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA．Finland has stayed near the top ever since，while the U．S．scores around the middle．
Pasi Sahlber g，an official with Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture，is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland's success，and what states like Washington can learn from it．
Sahlberg's message，although he is too polite to put it so bluntly（坦率）：Stop testing so much，trust teachers more； give less homework； shorten the school day．
On Tuesday，in a room filled with teachers，principals，professors，school-board members and policy makers，Sahlberg joked about the Finns'reputation（名聲） for being a quiet，humble people．"When Finland hit the top of the PISA，"he said，"the biggest disbelievers were Finns．"
More seriously，F(xiàn)inland never set out to create the world's top school system．Instead，he said，the country deci ded in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student's success didn't depend on family background．
"Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition．Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，"he said，"Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals．Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland，and design their own tests．There are no nat ional tests，except one at the end of high school．"
That's just the start．Along with a shorter school day，F(xiàn)innish students don't even start school until they are 7 years old．Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework．
"But Finland，"he said，"succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U．S．a(chǎn)nd other countries．And those countries，"he said，"can learn from Finland，too．"

32．What might be the author's purpose of writing the passage？C
A．To introduce a Finnish official．
B．To compare the education systems of Finland and the US．
C．To share the story of Finland's success in education．
D．To ask the US to improve its education．
33．People first learned Finland's success in education fromA．
A．its students'performance in an international exam．
B．its international exchange programs．
C．lectures given by Pasi Sahlberg．
D．its small-sized public schools．
34．Which of the following can contribute to Finland's  success in education？C
a．Giving students fewer tests．
b．Giving teachers more trust．
c．Evaluating students'family backgrounds．
d．Creating the world's top school system．
e．Starting school late．
A．a(chǎn)，b，c              B．c，d，e          C．a(chǎn)，b，e           D．b，c，d
35．What Pasi Sahlerg said in Paragraph 7 suggested thatB
