【語篇解讀】　本文是一則寓言，通過一群老鼠開會(huì)想辦法除掉貓的故事說明：想出好辦法也許不難，但要實(shí)現(xiàn)就不那么容易了。

26．C　任何一只老鼠都害怕被貓“抓住(caught)”而不敢出去。

27．D　下文meeting room是提示：老鼠們決定要開一個(gè)“會(huì)(meeting)”來商討對(duì)策。

28．B　根據(jù)上文的for fear of以及下文的whose mother had become the cat’s food等可知老鼠們“處境危險(xiǎn)(in danger)”。

29．A　從本空前內(nèi)容可知：貓碰巧不在，所以全體老鼠就利用這點(diǎn)時(shí)間“趕緊(rushed)”聚到了一起。

30．C　Let’s build a big trap是這只老鼠“建議(suggested)”的。

31．D　下文又有新的提議，可知第一個(gè)老鼠的建議被大家“拒絕(refused)”了。

32．B　But這一轉(zhuǎn)折詞承接上文的建議——但是“沒人(nobody)”知道去哪里買毒藥。

33．A　由本空前“母親死于貓爪之下”推斷：一只小老鼠“咬牙切齒地(angrily)”說。

34．C　這里指會(huì)議沒有接受它的“提議(idea)”。

35．D　從下文它所提的建議以及受到的祝賀可知：它比其它老鼠要“聰明(wiser)”一些。下文的the wise mouse也是提示。

36．B　從本空后的be quiet判斷：它搖動(dòng)著一只鈴鐺要大家“靜一靜(silence)”。

37．A　只要把鈴鐺拴在貓的尾巴上，就可以隨時(shí)知道它在“哪里(where)”。

38．C　有了這個(gè)鈴鐺做警報(bào)，老鼠們就有了逃離的“時(shí)間(time)”。

39．D　年老體弱的伙伴們也能來得及“躲藏(hide)”。

40．B　根據(jù)本空后congratulated判斷：聽到它這個(gè)好辦法后，大家伙“興高采烈(excited)”。

41．A　我們最好把鈴鐺拴牢一些，這樣它永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)“掉下來(drop off)。”

42．C　尾巴上有了鈴鐺，它再也別想“躡手躡腳地(quietly)”走路了。

43．D　但是我們還得“決定(decide)”究竟派誰去拴這個(gè)鈴鐺。

44．B　由下文a more difficult matter判斷：沒有一只老鼠有足夠的“勇氣(brave)”把鈴鐺拴在貓尾巴上。

45．A　與本空后的difficult構(gòu)成對(duì)比：想出好辦法很“容易(easy)”，但實(shí)現(xiàn)它就不那么容易了。

C
A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring(后代) are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory(監(jiān)管的) barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.
The 968-page final report, not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risks.
But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw(原始的) data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.
The report also admits that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.
“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based evaluation.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those subjects.
In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill for meat or milk. Instead, the expensive animals—replicas(復(fù)制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born—will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.
When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.
64.   What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.    FDA has waited for a long time to get this final report.
B.    Products from cloned animals have been put into the market before.
C.    People are having the products from cloned animals safely.
D.    There have been once opposite opinions against cloned products.
65.   What does the underlined word “wary” mean?
A. Disappointed.           B. Careful.         C. Fond.                                 D. Proud.
66.   It will be a few years before foods from clones come into the market, partly because _____.
A.    people have little knowledge of the cloned animals
B.    supporters can’t give powerful evidence to support that
C.    the few cloned animals will first be used to create superior animals
D.    they are a new generation for the customers and are too valuable for the customers
67.   What can we conclude from the passage?
A.    FDA officials encourage people to eat more food from clones.
B.    FDA officials think the food from clones will sell better than ordinary food.
C.    People only worry about the health problems when it comes to foods from the clones.
D.    All the foods will not have detailed labels on them.

      Every year, earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and vast amounts of destruction(破壞) in various parts of the world. There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not
all of them are destructive. The intensity (強(qiáng)度) of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from zero upward. The highest magnitude recorded to date is 8.9Major damage generally occurs
from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.
     The actual cause of earthquake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the breaking of rocks or
below the earth's surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number
of reasons, two of which are the changed of the earth's crust (外殼) and continental drift(漂流).
      In order to minimize the damage and to decrease some of the pain resulting from earthquakes,
scientists are working on ways to improve accurate prediction. Two kinds of the instruments now in use
to achieve this goal are seismograph(地震儀) and tilt (傾斜) meter. The former records any shaking of
the earth. Seismologists ca accurately record the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter, as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The highest magnitude of earthquake recorded is 8.9
B. Major damage usually happens when the intensity of an earthquake is below 6.0
C. Scientists usually use seismographs and tilt meters to predict earthquakes now.
D. Continental drift may cause an earthquake.
2. What's the main idea of the passage?
A.  Earthquakes can cause a lot of damage.
A.Scientists are working hard to predict the earthquakes.
B.The reason why earthquakes happen.
C.Introduce the earthquake and its prediction.  
3. Where does the passage mot likely come from? 
A. A newspaper.  
B. A report    
C. A science magazine.    
D. A history book.
