6．Hawaii is an important trading center and about six million tourists visit there every year．With all that traffic in and out，exotic species（外來(lái)物種）have plenty of opportunities to reach the islands．According to biologists，exotic species are the number one threat to the state's economy，environment，and way of life．
The question in Hawaii is，can the invaders be stopped？
Quarantines are one way to do this．Quarantine is the process of isolating animals or products．In Hawaii，pet dogs and cats coming into the state remain in a special holding facility for four months to make sure they don't have rabies（狂犬�。� Many agricultural products are also quarantined to see if they are carrying insect pests or plant diseases．
Inspection is a second way to stop biological invaders．At airports，borders，and shipping ports，inspectors examine passengers and their baggage to see if they are carrying exotic species．The inspectors also destroy fruits，vegetables，or other goods that might be carrying harmful pests or diseases．Specially trained dogs also smell goods in the ship for exotic species．
What if an exotic species slips by inspectors？Then efforts are made to control the invader．In Hawaii，government agencies control invaders by setting  livetraps around wildlife shelters and other places．At Haleakala National Park employees have built miles of fences to keep out exotic pigs and goats．For years these animals ate and walked over native rain forest plants，hut the fences have helped reverse（逆 轉(zhuǎn)）this damage．Now native plants grow in places that were bare rock only a short time ago．
In some cases biological control helps to solve the exotic species problems．It is the science of controlling one invader with another．In the early 1900s，several exotic predators（肉食動(dòng)物） were imported to Hawaii to eat a harmful exotic pest called the sugarcane leafhopper．The insect was destroying 70，000 tons of sugar a year，but the predators brought it under control．
The efforts of these scientists and other people are vitally important．In Hawaii alone，10，000 different species of native plants and animals still need to be protected．Many of these are found nowhere else on earth．By stopping the spread of the biological invaders，we not only protect ourselves，but we also protect the many other native species that make our planet such a special place to live．
63．This passage is mainly aboutA．
A．the methods for preventing exotic species
B．the effects of exotic invasion on Hawaii
C．the problems faced by the Hawaiian economy
D．the role of biologists in controlling native species
64．Hawaii is at a great risk of invasion by exotic species，becauseC．
A．many agriculture products grow there
B．regular inspections of animals are useless
C．millions of people go to Hawaii each year
D．biological control efforts have not worked
65．Which of the following statements is true？A
A．Animals and products are put in quarantines before entering Hawaii．
B．Trained dogs are used to examine passengers and their baggage．
C．Livetraps and fences are set to protect exotic pigs and goats．
D．Some exotic predators are imported to destroy invaders'food．
66．What argument does the author make in the last paragraph？B
A．Hawaii has the most unknown species of plants on earth．
B．Humans have a responsibility to control exotic species．
C．Scientists make the difference to the species protection．
D．Species should be allowed to exist without human interruption．

16．More than 2.25billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day，and it's likely that many taste bitter．
Now，a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply swapping the color of their coffee cups．
Scientists from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford claim that blue and glass cups，which are popular in some coffee shops，reduce a coffee's bitterness，without any need for sugar and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes bitterest．
To prove their claims，the researchers invited 36volunteers and used three different colored cups-blue，white and transparent glass-to do experiments．
In the experiment，coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups，while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest．
The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee's bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes bitterest．
"Our study clearly shows that the color of a coffee mug does influence the perceived taste and flavor of coffee，"said the lead author Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia，"but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer．"
"Anyhow，the effect of the mug's color on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners，baristas，as well as coffee mug manufacturers should carefully consider the color of their mugs，"he added．
However，the idea that color can alter the taste of food and drink is not new．
A study published last year revealed that red，strawberry-flavored mousse （慕斯蛋糕） served on a white plate was 10percent sweeter and 15percent more flavorful than the same food presented on a black plate．

63．What color of the cup can best reduce coffee's bitterness without adding sugar？A
A．Blue．
B．Brown．
C．White．
D．Transparent．
64．The scientists usedB to do the experiment to prove their claims．
①different brands of coffee
②different-colored coffee cups
③several volunteers
④several manufacturers
A．①②
B．②③
C．②④
D．③④
65．Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet？D
A．Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups．
B．Because white cups are better used to serve cakes．
C．Because white cups reduce the sugar in them．
D．Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest．
66．According to the article，which of the following statement is TRUE？C
A．Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink．
B．Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10percent sweeter than coffee．
C．People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups．
D．People consume more than 2.5billion cups of coffee across the globe each day．

14．Today，in many high schools，teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs，digital cameras．DVD players and laptops．Teachers can e-mail parents，post messages for students on online bulletin（公告，告示） boards，and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse．
Even though we are now living in the digital age，the basic and most important element of education has not changed．Most students still need that one-on-one，teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed．Teenagers need instruction in English，math or history，but they also want personal advice and encouragement．Kids talk with me about their families，their weekend plans，their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems．In my English and journalism class，we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive（富有哲理的） essays，but we also discuss college basketball，the war in Iraq and career choices．Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars，their family vacations，and their newborn baby brothers．This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace．
A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general．Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around，I knew his family life was far from ideal．Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades，he always had the same reply："It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway．"Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way，I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my"value of a high school education"lecture．He needed to hear this speech from me．After he left my class，he struggled through the next two years of school．But，he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there．We'd cared about him finishing school．
Recently，I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant．I told him again how proud I was of him．He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician．I encouraged him to get that training．
Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide，to tutor，to listen，to laugh and to cry with them．Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process-the human one．

41．The first paragraph mainly discussesB．
A．the variety of modern teaching methods
B．the wide use of modern technology in education
C．the importance of teacher-parent relationship

A．teacher's good instruction   B．a(chǎn)dvanced technology
C．teachers'encouragement       D．personal connection

C．A big meal called a harvest supper．
D．Thanksgiving ceremonies and celebrations in England．
E．History of Harvest Festival．
F．When is Harvest Festival？

76．D
In England，we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times．We celebrate this day by singing，praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as"Harvest Festival"，usually during the month of September．Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them．This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate．
77．F
Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon．This moon is the full moon which falls in the month of September，at or around the time of the Autumnal Equinox，about Sept.23．Unlike the USA and Canada，the UK does not have a national holiday for Harvest Festival．
78．E
Harvest Festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the Harvest season on 1st August and was called Lammas，meaning"loaf Mass"．Farmers made loaves of bread from the new wheat crop and gave them to their local church．They were then used as the Communion bread during a special mass thanking God for the harvest．The custom ended when Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church，and nowadays we have harvest festivals at the end of the season．
79．B
The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in churches as we know it today began in 1843，when the Reverend Robert Hawker invited parishioners to a special thanksgiving service for the harvest at his church at Morwenstow in Cornwall．Victorian hymns such as"We plough the fields and scatter"，"Come ye thankful people，come"and"All things bright and beautiful"helped popularise his idea of harvest festival and spread the annual custom of decorating churches with home-grown produce for the Harvest Festival service．
80．A
The making of corn dollies goes back many thousands of years．It was a Pagan custom and evolved from the beliefs of the corn growing people who believed in the Corn Spirit．Corn dollies were made at Harvest time from the last sheaf of corn cut．The Corn Spirit was supposed to live or be reborn in the plaited straw ornament or corn doll and was kept until the following spring to ensure a good harvest．The corn dolly often had a place of honour at the harvest banquet table．

18．Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversations．It is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human communication!
Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating to other persons．If you wish to communicate effectively，besides the words，you can use your body to say what you mean．
Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things such as，knowing  when someone is attracted to you，finding truth or lies，showing confidence，winning respect in any situation，and you can use body language to make people less nervous，make friends quickly，persuade and influence．
So what is body language？Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of，or besides，spoken language or other communication．Body language also includes many movements that most people are not aware of，such as winking and slight movements of the eyebrows and other facial expressions．
Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person．The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are telling you the truth，or whether there is something more that's not being said．Watch，look and observe．Sometimes you can tell more by a person's body language than the words he speaks．
56．The underlined word"constitute"in Paragraph 2probably meansA．
A．make up
B．set up
C．turn up
D．put up
57．From the third paragraph，we can learnC．
A．what body language is
B．how to use body language
C．body language is very useful
D．body language is very impressive
58．We are advised to observe the body language of other people toB．
A．to remember everything they say
B．understand the hidden meaning
C．draw their attention to them
D．show respect for them
59．Which of the following is NOT true about body language？D
A．It is a part of communication．
B．It helps us communicate more effectively．
C．It sometimes tells more than spoken language．
D．It's only needed when we have nothing to say．

15．In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off．
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain．"I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile．
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head-cutting！
It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered（遞送）．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver．
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this．When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces．
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy（同情），I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right I'll catch the next one．"Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轟炸的）person is sure to have．

63．In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh toB．
A．make a comparison                   B．introduce a topic
C．describe a scene                    D．offer an argument
64．In the writer's opinion，his neighbor wasC．
A．friendly         B．warm-hearted      C．not considerate      D．not helpful
65．From"Dreams of head-cutting！"（Paragraph3），we learn that the writerA．
A．was mad at the sales agent
B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night．
66．What is the main idea of the text？A
A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communication．
B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success．
C．Receiving bad news requires great courage．
