mirror. And his  36  went like this:
“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very  37  and we lived in a remote
village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a  38 . A German motorcycle had
been broken in that place.
“I  39  to find all the pieces and put them  40 , but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece and made it  41 .

It became a game for me to get light into the most  44  places I could find.
“I  45  the little mirror, and as I grew up, I would take it out in free moments and  46 
the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to  47  that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor (隱喻) for what I might do with my  48 . I came to understand that I am not the light or the  49  of light. But light — truth, understanding, knowledge — is
there,  50  it will shine in many dark places  51  I reflect it.
“I am a fragment (碎片) of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can  52  light into the dark places of this world — into the  53  places in the hearts of men—and  54  some things in some people. Perhaps others may

The following people are expressing their thoughts (81--85) to show their concern for food, environment and so on.After that are pieces of related information (A--F) .Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions (81—85) and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
______小題1:How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were.Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
______小題2:More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
______小題3:Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
______小題4:I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
______小題5:Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A."Organic produce is always better, "Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(農(nóng)藥) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(標(biāo)簽) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

Planet Hunter
When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.
“What excited me most was whether there were planets(行星)in other solar(太陽的)systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting(沿…軌道運(yùn)行)other stars like our Sun.”
And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”
Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like(像木星一樣的)planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.
At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.
Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features(特征)in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.
“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids(小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”
A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”
59. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?
A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.
B. He is from a scientist family.
C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.
D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.
60. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?
A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.
B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.
C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.
D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.
61. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?
A. 100                B. 69                    C. 66                       D. 65
62. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because ______.
A. he has found the system similar to the solar system
B. he has discovered an Earth-like planet there
C. he has discovered a rocky planet there
D. he has found signs of life in the system
63.“But we stuck with it”(in Paragraph 3)means ______.
A. they felt discouraged
B. they carried on with it
C. they failed in their attempt
D. they made some progress

A Magical Experience
One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine(海洋)center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke(中風(fēng))six weeks earlier.
Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye.
Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy(治療), Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.
Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Deena phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.
Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.
41.Deena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because             .
A.the dolphin’s action is amazing             B.Joe’s reaction brought her hope
C.she was affected by Joe’s joy               D.she realized Joe recovered
42.Paragraph 2-4 are written to           .
A.expose the dangers of strokes
B.identify the problems Joe faced
C.describe Joe’s recovery from beginning to end
D.show readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”
43.What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?
A.a(chǎn)ngry and inflexible                        B.more mature and silent
C.lacking energy and concern                  D.cautious and shy
44. Which statement about Joe is Not True?
A. Joe received several surgeries on the heart when he was a little child.
B. Joe was the first one to receive dolphin-assisted therapy.
C. Doctors used to think that Joe could not recover.
D. Now Joe worked with his parents in the Island Dolphin Care.
45.We may conclude from the passage that            .
A.dolphin therapy has helped many children to improve their lives
B.Joe recovered faster because of his desire to live with Fonzie
C.doctors’ mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great pain
D.his mother’s company contributes greatly to Joe’s recovery

There is a new take on an old tale.It's the story of the three
little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of
straw and one made of sticks.The only house left standing was
the one made of bricks.Now there is new evidence to suggest
that houses built with bales(捆)of straw can be very strong.
Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain.
He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp(大麻) material.During the next twelve months the team will study die effectiveness of these materials in home building.Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.It's a relatively inexpensive renewable material that's quickly and easily available.Straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows.So it can be seen as having no harmful effects the environment.And the straw bales walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation.So we make buildings that require very little heating in winter or indeed very little cooling in summer.So they require very little additional energy.
David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction.He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw.But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales makes a lot of sense.He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted.To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw.Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster.He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire.As a matter of fact, straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance.And his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.He says we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.
68.According to the passage, Pete Walker ____.
A.is cooperating with David Lanfear in building houses
B.is pretty sure that straw is a good building material
C.is studying home building with his team at present
D.holds a different view of building materials from David Lanfear
69.If we live in houses built with bales of straw, we ____.
A.will be worried about the threat of fire
B.need to wear good shoes in severe weather
C.can reduce our household expense
D.should use a special method to keep out rain
70.In building straw houses, ____.
A.a(chǎn) solid foundation and a good roof are necessary
B.straw bales have to be tested for fire resistance
C.a(chǎn) wood frame of straw should be used as a good roof
D.builders should wear good shoes and a good hat
71.Which of the following is the best tide of the passage?
A.Houses Made of Straw
B.New Meaning Of an Old Tale
C.Pete Walker and David Lanfear
