A
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess（公主）in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me that she had written a narrator’s (解说者的) part of the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn’t tell mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. 
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched out landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carefully bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in the garden.” 
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!” 
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added. 
When I realized that she had guessed my pains, I started to cry and told her the truth. 
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how I loved to read stories aloud to her.
Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was the only person who would keep such a weed.

A. she felt nervous on the stage
B. she lost interest in the role
C. she preferred the role of the narrator
D. she had difficulty memorizing her words

When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago. 
Underwater archaeology—the study of ships, artifact and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water—is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment. Besides the Swedish ship wreck (残骸)，underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5,000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.
Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world’s knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines (挖掘机) often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.
63. What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A. To provide background information to the topic. 
B. To attract readers’ attention to the topic. 
C. To use an example to support the topic.
D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic.
64. The aim of underwater archaeology is to ______.
A. exploit water bodies B. search for underwater life
C. study underwater artifacts D. examine underwater environment
65. Underwater archaeologists are worried because ______.
A. sea hunters have better diving equipment 
B. their knowledge of world history is limited
C. dredging machines cause damage to the ports
D. sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research
66. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a young branch of learning.
B. To discuss the scientists’ problems.
C. To explain people’s way of life in the past.
D. To describe the sunken ships.

Tragedy at the Circus
In yesterday’s circus(马戏团) show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers. 
However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy (悲剧), animal right activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利润) of circus organizers. 
It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.

Circus Safe for Animals 
Our circus recently suffered a most tragic even in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.” 
First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals can—and should—live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives o their species (物种), and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom. 
This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and the species saved.
67. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show pity for the performing animals.
B. To express worries about animal trainers’ safety.
C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.
D. To call for action to protect circus animals.
68. What will the circus most probably do?
A. Take no notice of the tragedy. B. Continue its performances.
C. Use fewer wild animals. D. Limit its profit.
69. What does the circus think of the performing animals?
A. They are as clever as human beings.
B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.
C. They are helpful in saving their species.
D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.
70. What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?
A. A public request and a newspaper report.
B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.
C. Two parts of a newspaper article.
D. Two newspaper reports.
E
The flag, the most common symbol（象征）of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is till used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag was we know it today is in no way a primitive (原始的) artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned bow to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another. 
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over the trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.
71. The best title for this passage would be ______. 
A. Development of the National Flag B. Power of the National Flag
C. Types of the Flags D. Uses of Flags
72. The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. impossible to make use of B. likely to be protected
C. easy to damage D. difficult to find
73. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because ______.
A. they could tell wind direction 
B. they could bring good luck to fighters 
C. they were handed down by the ancestors
D. they were believed to stand for natural forces
74. What does the author know of the first national flag?
A. He knows when it was sent to Europe. B. He believes it was made in Egypt.
C. He thinks it came from China. D. He doubts where it started.
75. What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.
B. The second ancestor of the national flag.
C. The use of modern flags in Europe.
D. The importance of modern flags.
