16．There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit whisky（威士忌） at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle．When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873she wrote in her diary，"I never saw a lovelier spot，"And she didn't even go fishing．
Scotland is not easily defined．In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grass and mountains changes before your very eyes．When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light，the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold．As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy castle，any frustration（煩惱） will float away as gently as the circling water．It's just you and purple，pink，white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony．If you are a new comer to fishing，learning the basics form a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun．Four many，fishing is more than a sport； it is an art．
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing．Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland，the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains．Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge．But it's not just what goes up that matters； what comes down is unique．More than 900metres high，on the mountain's north face，lies an all-important source of pure water．Its name comes form the Gaelic language"usquebaugh"or"water of life"； And it is the single most important ingredient（原料） in Scotland's best know drink； whisky．

7．San Francisco has its cable cars．Seattle has its Space Needle．And，Longview has its squirrel bridge．The bridge，which has attracted international attention，is now a local landmark．
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder，Amos Peters，to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars．
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds．Before the bridge was built，squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels．Many times，Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over．
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth，and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety．The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council（市政會(huì)）．The Council approved，and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge"Nutty Narrows．"
After architects designed the bridge，Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction，They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose（消防水帶）．It cost 1，000．
It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started．Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes．The story was picked up by the media，and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world．
In 1983，after 20 years of use，Peters took down the worn-out bridge．Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced．The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983，hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge．
Peters died in 1984，and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project．

5．Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours（繞行路）in life that by the narrow road toward goals．I like this image．But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words．
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents'home in Boise in nine hours．We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest easiest road，especially when ai was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hates confinement（限制）and have strong opinions about everything．
Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had to．We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired．
But then Banner，our lamb was born．He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise．I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with me．My husband made the decision for me．
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through．We took the country roads out of necessity．We had to stop every hour，let Banner shke out his legs and feed him．The kids chased him and one another．They'd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air．
We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass．Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother，or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freeway．Here was life．And new horizons（見(jiàn)識(shí)）．
We eventually arrived at my parents'doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories．
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique．On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling．I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead．I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence．
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight．But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to any on adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey--and the best part of yourself．
46．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents'home？B
A．It was less time        B．It would be faster and safer
C．Her kids would feel less confined     D．She felt better with other drivers nearby
47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads toC
A．relax in the fresh air        B．take a dep breath
C．take care of the lamb         D．let the kids play with Banner
48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6？B
A．Freeways are where beauty hides．
B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life
C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health
D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals
49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home？
D
A．To give herself some time to read       B．To order some food for them
C．To play a game with them．D．To let them cool down
50．What could be the best title for the passage？A
A．Charm of the Detour        B．The Road to Bravery
C．Creativity out of Necessity         D．Road trip and Country Life．

12．The kids in this village wear dirty，ragged clothes．They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet，and some can make words．
The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板電腦） dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．
The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopia program．
The fastest learner-and the first to turn on one of the tablets-is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．
With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．
The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．

62．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？B
A．It trains teachers for them．         
B．It contributes to their self-study．
C．It helps raise their living standards．
D．It provides funds for building schools．
63．What can we infer from Keller's words in Paragraph 3？C
A．They need more time to analyze data．
B．More children are needed for the research．
C．He is confident about the future of the project．
D．The research should be carried out in kindergartens．
64．It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa couldA．
A．learn English words quickly．          B．draw pictures of animals．
C．write letters to researchers．         D．make phone calls to his friends．
65．What is the aim of the project？C
A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．
C．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．
D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．
