32、 with each other B Autumn means different things to different people. It all depends on your personality, said British naturalist Richard Mabey. Personality shapes your view of the season, he said. You may see it as a fading away, a packing up（结束）, or as a time of packing in another sense the excite
33、d gathering of resources before a long journey.If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet. About November, he wrote: No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful easeNo shade, no shine, no butterflies, no beesNovember!On the other hand,
34、another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.According to Richard Mabey, Kea
35、ts has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example, just at the moment that Keatss gathering swallows （in To Autumn） are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen n
36、orth like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists, before falling, the leaves transfer their chlorophyll（叶绿素） and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe-keeping over winter. What remains are the natural antioxidants
37、（防老剂） in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids（类胡萝卜素）, and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn, the bright-red anthocyanin（花青素）. High color is not a signal of deterioration（退化） and decline, but of detox（排毒的） ability and good health.A century after Keats, the American po
38、et Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn. And that we could disintegrate（瓦解） like autumn leavesdropping their substance like chlorophyll. Would not our attitude towards death be different?60From Thomas Hoods poem, we may infer that _.Ahe
39、suffered a lot from cold NovemberBhe missed the shining summer days very muchChe had a negative attitude towards autumnDhe enjoyed butterflies and bees very much61Which word can best describe Loren Eiseleys attitude towards autumn?AOptimistic. BFearful. CDoubtful.DRealistic.62In autumn, leaves turn
40、yellow before falling because _.Athey cant bear the freezingBthey cant get enough water from the wood partCchlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leavesDchlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part63What does the underlined sentence mean?AMan can never live long, just
41、as leaves must leave the tree annually.BMan is different from autumn leaves, which will come again the next spring.CMan should treat death calmly, just like autumn leaves fall to the ground.DMan should have a positive attitude towards death, quite different from autumn leaves.CJAMES Brown, the legen
42、dary US singer known as the “Godfather of Soul”, died Christmas morning, 2006. he was 73.Brown was one of the major musical influences of the last 50 years. He provided the basis for much of black music and most of pop music with his early hits like. “Please, Please, Please”. He essentially created
43、funk（“疯客”音乐）with mid-1960s songs such as Papas Got a Brand New Bag. It won him a Grammy Award as best rhythm-and-blues song, and it was only the beginning of Mr. Browns rhythmic breakthroughs. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Michael Jackson and Prince. Rap stars of recent years, such as Fat Boys a
44、nd Public Enemy, have all borrowed his lyrics and rhythms. Browns songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as Hot Pants and Make It Funky, mixed the sophistication(复杂) of jazz-style arrangements with raw funk. With these songs, Brown established himself as the godfather not just of soul, but of
45、 all subsequent styles of dance music: funk, disco, hip hop. He made soul music a world music, said Al Sharpton, who toured with Brown in the 1970s and imitates his hairstyle to this day. What Brown was to music in terms of soul and hip hop, rap, all of that, is what Bach(巴赫, 德国作曲家) was to classical
46、 music. He put everybody on a different beat, a different style of music. Amid the civil rights movement of the 1960s Mr. Brown used his fame and music for social messages. He released Dont Be a Dropout in 1966 and met with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to promote a stay-in-school initiative. Tw
47、o years later Say It Loud - Im Black and Im Proud insisted, We wont quit movin until we get what we deserve. 65The passage is mainly about _. Ablack music in the US BJames Browns unique music styles CJames Browns contribution to American music Dgreat musicians in the US in the last 50 years 66The au
48、thor intends to tell us by the last paragraph that _. AJames Brown was proud of being a black BJames Brown was also active in political movements Cthe then Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was one of Browns fans Dno children dropped out of school because of James Browns social influence 67 Which of
49、 the following indicates that Browns career began to take off? AHis rapid-footed dancing. BHis three years in prison. CHis tour around the country with Al Sharpton. DHis mid-1960s songs such as Papas Got a Brand New Bag. 68James Brown has influenced all American music types EXCEPT _. Aclassical musi
50、c Brhythm-and-blues CRap Dhip hopDChina news, Beijing, Feb. 9 Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers（房产开发商）and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many develope
51、d countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.Although the averag
52、e price of residential houses in the United States, after converted（转换）to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according
53、 to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold a t a price even higher than those in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chine
54、se real estate（房地产）market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chines
55、e people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real esta
56、te market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans（贷款）and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By
57、applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.69What is the average housing price per square meter in China?A8000 yuan.B10000 yuan.C7000 yuan.Dits not mentioned here.70Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China
58、 is even higher than in the United States? AChinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. BAmerican peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. CThe houses in US are not sold in terms of
59、 building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. DThere population who need houses in China than in the United States.71How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices? AFour. BThree. CTow. DOne.72What is the main id
60、ea of this passage? AThe housing price in China is so high that the government should do something useful to prevent it. BThere are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market. CThe average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States. DThe Chinese government issued a set of polici
61、es that aimed to benefit the public.E Three armed robbers stole two Pablo Picasso prints from an art museum in downtown Sao Paulo on Thursday, which was the citys second high-profile art theft in less than a year.

65、about 10 minutes and the museum was nearly empty at the time. The assailants took the pieces frames and all out of the museum in two bags. The institution has no metal detectors.
