第一节、根据短文内容，选出最佳选项（总计15小题，每小题2分）
Can trees talk? Yes—but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree(柳树) attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating       them. The even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour — a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be always in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending messages?
56. From the passage we know that caterpillars _______.
A. like willow trees                       B. enjoy eating fallen leaves
C. can talk to other caterpillars        D. can send out a special vapour
57. Caterpillars will stop eating willow tree leaves which _______.
A. have a chemical change and become tasteless  B. have a pleasant taste
C. are being attacked                        D. are communicating
58. According to the passage, bees communicate with each other by _______.
A. talking                                             B. making unusual sounds    
C. singing songs                              D. flying certain patterns

On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.
Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and most challenging of all time.
Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.
Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.
“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.
“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.
The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek（跋涉） up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.
The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.
59. It was a historic moment because ______.
A. some Tibetan torchbearers took part in it
B. it was lit three months before the Olympic Games were held 
C. it was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma for the first time
D. it was the longest attempt in history
60. Which is RIGHT according to the whole passage?
A. All the five torchbearers are men
B. Only the five torchbearers reached the summit. 
C. Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in their native language.
D. At least two of the five torchbearers are females.
61. What does the word “leg” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
A. one part of a journey or race
B. one of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the body
C. the leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eaten
D. the part of a pair of trousers that covers the leg
62. What would be the best title for the text?
A. One world, one dream
B. Relay reaches its highest point
C. Qomolangma, the highest summit in the world
D. The special torch and the brave torchbearers
63. Where can you read about this passage?
A. In the English textbook.             B. In the newspaper.
C. In the science report.           D. On the street wall.

Please be advised that Nairobi like any other large city has a security and crime problem. However, if you observe the following simple guidelines you will have a trouble-free stay here:
1. Do not wear a money belt. This makes you an instant target.
2. Cameras of all kinds are a favourite with snatchers. Feel free to use them within the Starehe Campus and the hotel grounds but not in the streets.
3. Ladies’ handbags are also a regular snatch. Avoid carrying one, and if you must, be alert and hold on to it tightly.
4. Jewellery and even glasses with valuable frames are also often targeted. Bear this in mind.
5. When in a vehicle keep the doors always locked, and the windows only slightly open — especially at traffic lights, junctions and in slow moving traffic.
6. Beware of street children, their begging often quickly transforms into something more unpleasant.
7. Stay with the main party all the time, and avoid wandering off on your own.
8. Finally, the best defence is to be alert at all times and conscious of your environment. Should you have any problem or need help at any hour of the day or night, call any of the following and they will do their best for you:
Office fixed, home fixed and mobile phones

The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbour and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a taxi driver or a doctor or a grocer(杂货商), he is producing goods or service for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. Yon may spend money in stores, supermarkets and gas stations. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labour market.
The market may seem to be something abstract(抽象的). But for each person or businessman who is making and selling something, it is real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It’s telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.
67. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Selling and Buying
B. What Is the Market?
C. Everything Yon Do is Producing for the Market
D. What Can the Market Do for You?
68. All of the following acts are producing for the market EXCEPT_______.

A. It tells you what to produce.
B. It directs you how to grow tomatoes.
C. It provides you with everything you need.
D. It helps you save money.

My swimming experience is extreme interesting. There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at nearby pond. I slipped into one. Had my friend not come to my rescue, I would have been drowned. Ever since then, I had come to know the importance of learning to swim. I didn’t attend at any training class but learned it all by myself. Strange to say, I have difficult swimming at all now. Though the way I swim look awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me from floating. Thinking of this, I feel quiet satisfied.
