   Hao jinsong is facing a strong opponent(对手).So strong, in fact, that most others can do nothing but obey, but Hao doesn’t want to. He waits patiently for months, and then takes a sudden action.

Hao is a 33-year-old graduate student at China University of Political Science and law. He is bookish and not as strong as Schwarzenegger or as fast as Spider-Man. And the property(财产) he is fighting for goes for less than a bottle of water.

But, he has managed to become a real headache for his opponents-China’s railways.

And he sounds like a trouble maker. Since last summer he has filed six lawsuits(诉讼) against the railways and Beijing’s subway. Hao has complained(投诉) about some shops in the train station refusing to give him a receipt(收据), something that most passengers choose to give up.

“I’d call myself a lawyer rather than a trouble-maker,” said Hao, explaining how he had struggled for a receipt as preparation for his complaints on purpose“That’s the softest part of a strong administration, the only part that an ordinary man can find fault with and attack legally(合法地),” he continued. “I just want to make this hole bigger so that consumers(消费者) get what they should have.”

The results haven’t been so bad so far. However, thanks to Hao’s effort(努力) at Beijing’ s No.8 Subway line people now get a receipt after paying to use the toilet there.

“Chinese need a civic consciousness(公民意识).They need to know that they are the absolutely(绝对地) equal(平等) of the government, which should serve the taxpayers. ”

Some people say that Hao is selling himself via(通过) the media. Far from denying that Hao admits that he’s good at taking advantage of news reports. In fact, he rarely has enough time for classroom work. Instead, he’s at an interview every week. He was even too busy to bother to wash his face before the interview.

58. The underlined word “file” in the passage means         .

A. place documents(文件，资料) in files    

B. ask for legal proceedings(法律诉讼)

C. make an application(申请)                    

D. arrange(安排) things in order

59. When some people say that Hao wants to show off,          .

 

A. he doesn’t agree to it	B. he is angry with them
C. he doesn’t mind it	D. he feels disappointed

60. What can we know about Hao jinsong?

A. He must be getting crazy.          

B .He doesn’t know of himself.

C. He wants to become a hero.      

D. He is on his right way.

61. We can infer from the passage that           .

A. Hao has won all his lawsuits with the help of the news  media.  

B. Chinese still have a long way to go before building a legal society

C .Hao is born an opponent to the railways and the subways

D.Most people support Hao and help him to win his lawsuits

Wind—even the slightest of winds can prevent frost (霜冻). That's because wind is like a spoon in your cup of tea: it stirs(搅起) things down and brings down a lot of warm air that often floats just above housetops and trees.

It may seem strange, but ice itself sometimes can protect crops from frost. Some growers ac­tually spray(喷水) their crops with water on a freezing night. Water freezes quickly on plants and then a strange thing happens. As long as ice stays wet, it can't get colder than -10° F, a temperature many plants can stand. By continual spraying water on the ice, the growers keep it from going below-10° F even if the air is much colder. This may defeat frost and save plants.

This strange kind of "ice blanket" works only on plants that are strong enough to stand the weight of frozen spray. This is used even to protect banana plants on some Central  American farms.

67. If the ice became entirely frozen and dry, suppose what might happen.

A. The plants might be frozen to death.     

B. The plants might benefit from it.

C. It might save the plants.                    

D. It might make the plants grow slowly.

68. Ice can save plants rather than destroy them on condition that they are _______.

 

A. used to frost	B. quickly frozen
C. not strong enough	D. sprayed regularly

69. The best title would be ______.

 

A. Ice Can Be Nice	B. Ice Battle
C. Frost Saves Crops	D. Ice Is bad

           

70. In which of the following sentences "stand" has the same meaning as in the last paragraph?

A. He could hardly stand .              

B. This house stands the test of time.

C. The UN stands for the United Nations.          

D. He stands in terrible danger.

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

       Bad dreams are commonly experienced by children all over the world. Children often ask their parents to look around their room, under their bed or behind the door to check that there’s nobody there so that they can sleep in peace. The fears in real life may sometimes turn into bad dreams at night.

　 Children may wake up all of a sudden and start crying at night or they may insist that they should sleep with their parents. That’s why, instead of letting the children live in fear of bad dreams, parents should take action to stop their children from having bad dreams.

　　Bad dreams in children can be caused by a number of things. The most common one is when a child is exposed (使暴露) to some scary images and scenes in storybooks or cartoons. The visual influence of these scary images can last for a long time and children may start having bad dreams because of them.

　　Research in the field shows that any traumatic (极不愉快的) event in a child’s life can lead to bad dreams. For a child, anything that makes him cry can be traumatic and thus can be dreamed about. If the child has been given injections, if he has ever been left behind or left alone by the family, or if he has just started going to school — all these things, which may seem less serious to adults, can actually cause bad dreams.

　　Parents whose children are experiencing bad dreams should talk to the children about dreams at first. Parents can share some of their own dreams while having breakfast to let the child know that it is normal to have them. If the dream has been really scary, parents can tell a story and turn it into something positive or funny.

Parents should ask the child if he is having some problems at school or if anyone is trying to frighten him. Basically, the idea is to create a safe environment for the child to live in. Before sleeping, reminding the child of some good and happy things that he will do next morning will help him sleep in a positive mode and thus, can prevent bad dreams.

Having the children maintain the same sleeping patterns matters. There are some other things that parents can do to stop bad dreams in children, such as making them sleep and wake up in a regular way, leaving the light on in their room while they are sleeping, reading them a nice bedtime story, or making them pray before sleeping to calm their mind.

 

(71)________	Bad dreams in children
Introduction	* It is quite common for children to experience bad dreams because of the fears in real life. * Some children cannot sleep (72)_______. * Some children wake up (73) ______ at night and start crying. * Children may insist on (74) ______ with their parents.

Dear Aihua ,

How are you ? I haven’t written for so long. I have been quite busy arranging my holiday to Africa. I can’t wait.

We leave London on July 15 , and we’ll be taking a flight to Moroco. Then we are going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert , which will takes us approximately 6 days.

And then on July 22, we are going to travel down the River Neil. We will start at Lake Victoria, where we will go white-water rafting. It’s quite dangerous but exciting. As a result , we have to wear helmet and a jacket for protection, just in case we fall into the water.

Afterwards, we are going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya where we can get as close as possible to the animals such as elephants ,lions and giraffes even though it is a dangerous trip.

Finally , on July 27 we are going to be back. I’ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit.

Love

Toby
