  About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
  He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and — WHUMP! — it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"
  "Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.
  Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
  It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

  About 1966 or so, a NASA(美国航空航天局) team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City. There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the lunar surface. Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.
  Nearby a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人) and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers. The two Navajo people were noticed and ap­proached by the NASA people. Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were. The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon. The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.
  The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate. His son would not.
  Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle (偷偷地笑) and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message, "Watch out for these guys, they have come to take your land! "
  64. The appearance of the Navajo Reservation is very similar to that of ________.
  A. the Tuba City                                 B. the moon
  C. the NASA research center                D. the Apollo moon mission

  A. felt frightened and ran away quickly
  B. chatted excitedly with the NASA workers
  C. got on the modern trucks and large vehicles for fun
  D. tried to say something to the moon creatures
  66. The son did not translate the words his father said because ________.
  A. he had trouble in understanding his father
  B. the words his father used were too difficult to be translated
  C. his father was sending a warning against the NASA people
  D. he believed that the NASA workers could understand their language
  67. According to this passage, we can know that the shepherd was ________.

  Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.
  And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts.  “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected area.
  This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
  Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suf­fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
  Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
  Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agricul­ture Organization warned.
  68. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first para­graph, the author of the article ________.
  A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts
  B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause
  C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
  D. both A and B
  69. The story is mainly about ________.
  A. West Africa’s united effort in fighting a disaster
  B. the difficulty in controlling locusts
  C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
  D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
  70. The locust disaster ________.
  A. would be even more serious in Asia  
  B. is(was)out of control
  C. affected only the warning areas
  D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
  71. Which of the following is WRONG?
  A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
  B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
  C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
  D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.

  书面表达范文
  Everyone has his or her own way to celebrate his or her own birthday. Some of my classmates celebrate their birthdays like this—buying some birthday presents, having a birthday party, eating a birthday cake. Of course I can’t say that there isn’t anything wrong with such things, but I think there must be some other ways more interesting and more special than those. For example, we can help our parents to do some housework, which will show that we are one year older and have known more, or we can plant an evergreen tree, which can show that our youth is as green as growing tree.
  To celebrate a birthday, I think its content is much more important than its form, do you agree with me?
