19、ion. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didnt think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.

32、e elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didnt stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were sc
33、ared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Baruas father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer（驯象师）. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up - how to catch wild
34、elephants. Parbati hasnt always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adve
35、nture and the excitement lasts for days after the chase. she says. But Parbati doesnt catch elephants just for fun. My work, she says, is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the India
36、n elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
37、 The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans. she said, as she climbed up one of her
38、elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!48. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .

41、onship is getting worse C. elephant tamers are in short supply D. dogs are as powerful as elephants EHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder
42、 is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But
43、 have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire（渴望） to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, of
44、ten lead rather isolated（隔离的）lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond （池塘）could be an amazing world filled with
45、strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of ma
46、ke-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look clos
47、ely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.52. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves A. the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC. the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD. the
48、 general existence of the sense of curiosity53. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B. The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D. Moder
49、n technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.54. If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make-believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other wo
50、rlds existing all around us55. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.EDirections: Read the
51、following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Drug overuse and its consequence（后果）B. The problem of drug overuse in AmericaC. Benefits of medicine and its wise useD. Female drug overuse compared with that of malesE
52、. Misuse of medicine among the young generationF. Improper use of medicine among the elderly56 . Nowadays. millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs. Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2% of the population over a
53、ge 12 were using drugs non-medically.57. NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good now. They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform operations to save lives. Many people living with diseases are able to
54、 control their symptoms（症状） and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible way.58. However, overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance（药物依赖） in
55、 some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health problem. Although this overuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.59. Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medicat
56、ions may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group u
57、se medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.60. Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those
58、 aged over In general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addicted. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medica
