It has solid blue feathers, and grows
37、to be anywhere from 3-4 pounds. Unfortunately, their popularity as pets has taken a toll on their numbers in the wild, which is one of the reasons why their prices are so high.De Brazzas Monkey: $10,000 The De Brazzas monkey is easily recognized by its white beard(胡须) and yellowish gray fur.

43、 the De Brazzas monkey has white fur C. the hyacinth macaw is an endangered species D. Chinese crested hairless puppies are good-lookingDIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing（挤压） past someone in a narrow aisle（过道）, people say “sorry”. When getting o
44、ff a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes inevitable（必然的）, and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I st
45、arted travelling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting with people.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it w
46、ould be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.An
47、other thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, E
48、nglish people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more th
49、an it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.68. What is the authors attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is artificial B. He gives no personal opinionC. He appreciates it D. He thinks it goes too far.69. What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in
50、 Germany? A. A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant. B. Its always a retail assistant who says thank you. C. They may say thank you only once. D. they always say thank you to each other.70.The author of this text is most probably _. A. an Englishman B. a German C. a Scottish man D. a
51、Welshman71. The author develops the text through the method of _. A. making comparisons B. telling stories C. giving comments D. giving reasonsE The United States has about 475,000 school buses -all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the
52、country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.Bob Riley speaks for th
53、e American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or othe
54、r alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in
55、 bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.But it could also get more children to wa
56、lk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air
57、pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October the eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.72. What does this passage mainly tell us? A. High fuel prices influences on school buses. B. New measures to transport sc
58、hool students.C. The safest form of student transportation.D. The origin of Walk to School Day.73. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?A. There are too many school buses in the United States.B. There are too many students in the US.C. Diesel prices are going up too r
59、apidly in the US.D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US.74. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results.B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services.C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means.D. Reducing bus ser
60、vice will do a lot of good to the environment. 75. The National Center for Safe Routes to school encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to _.A. save more fuels and diesel for the country B. keep the children safe on their way to schoolC. make the children live a simple lifeD. ke
