33、r. He is “saving” the world ,giving away one bike at a time. In 2006, Austin and his brother started an organization called 88Bikes. Its a none-profit(非盈利的) group that delivers bicycles to kids in need around the world . In less than four years the group has given away nearly 800 bikes in seven diff
34、erent countries.What difference can one bicycle make? A big one, says Austin. Many of the children who have received bikes from 88Bikes live in faraway areas and in orphanages(孤儿院)。Having a bike gives the kids a sage and quick way to get to school. Owning a bike can also mean freedom for a young per
35、son, and the happiness that a bike can bring is just more important than anything else, Austin explains. “This may also be favorable to their study because being happy they are likely (可能的) to learn more.” Austin added.Austin and his brother thought of the idea for 88Bikes in an outing. They once we
36、nt to Cambodia by bike. After the ride , they decided to give away their bikes to an orphanage in the city of Phnom Penh. “But then we realized there were 88 kids at the orphanage, ” Austin says. “We wanted to help the other 86 kids too.” So ,they set up the group as well as a website for donations.
37、 Four days later, there was enough money to buy more than enough bicycles.Along with the bikes, all of the children receive caps, bike locks and shoes. They also receive photos of the people who made the donations. “We want them to know that there is somebody across the ocean that always cares about
38、 them,” Austin says. A world map is put on the back of the photo which shows where the donors (捐赠人)live. The donors also receive pictures of the kids and their new bikes.60. Dan Austin and his brother give away bikes to _.A. save the world B. help the kidsC. make money D. move others61. Which of the
39、 following may replace the underlined word “delivers” in Paragraph 1 ?A. shows B. lends C. sells D. sends62. According to the passage, owning a bike may make it possible for kids to _.save time get freedom learn more receive respect be happy keep healthyA. B. C. D.63. What can be learned from the pa
40、ssage?A. The donors and the kids can learn about each otherB. Austin and his brother set up the organization two years ago.C. Nearly 800 bikes have been sent to seven cities in CambodiaD. Only by going on an outing can bikes be given to kids in need.C I have had all kinds of interesting neighbors si
41、nce the early days of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world to by with my big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”.The early
42、neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins, We went to play school together although they were a year older than me . I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well
43、-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didnt appear until the party was over.Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors -I just did what I thought was
44、 fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother.The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps(烤虾) which were so crisp(酥脆的) that you could eat the
45、 shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good
46、 neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark (火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.64.Why was the author called “the beauty at the window”?A. Because she had beautiful and big eyes.B. Because she loved watching the world
47、 at the window.C. Because she liked looking at the window.D. Because she was the most beautiful baby in the neighborhood.65. We can guess” the Alsatian” in the twin brothers home is _.A. a small child B. an interesting toyC. a dog D. a bicycle66. What did the author think of the experience while pla
48、ying with Peter and Paul?A. Ordinary B. influential C. Wonderful D. Embarrassed67. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author often moved to other places.B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others.C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking.D. The author had a good relationship
49、with her neighbors.DIt was the old ladys eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldnt forget her mothers birthday，even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present.the old lady was sure of that. Two spots of
50、color brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.Mrs Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a pocket of sweets.“I guess youll get a lot of present
51、s,” he said. “ I did last week when I was six” what would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned around the corner on his bicycle. Her heart b
52、eat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate. “Granny, granny,” he returned “Ive got you post.” He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myras writing.“No Parcel, Johnnie?” “No, granny.” Almost unwillingly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the
53、card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday-buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she t
54、ore it into small pieces.68. As can be inferred from the passage, _A. the neighbors cared little about the old lady in daily life.B. the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post.C. Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her motherD. the old lady lived alone in an apartment away fr
55、om her daughter69. The old lady felt_ when she saw no parcel came with her daughters card.A. excited B. disappointed C. happy D. impatient70.

56、-figures on the checkC. she would prefer a present with love from her daughterD. she didnt think the check was large enough for a presentE Leatherback Turtles（龟） are found in most warm seas, often migrating from one continent to another. They are the largest of all turtles, sometimes weighing more t
57、han 1500 pounds. Unlike other turtles, their ribs（肋骨） and backbones are not joined to the shell. These turtles have huge strong front flippers which can propel them in the water at high speeds. Leatherback Turtles have a very unique way of laying their eggs. From August to September, female turtles
58、travel vast distances just to lay their eggs on the exact spot where they had laid their eggs previously. As soon as they reach the shore, they will not rest until they have arrived at their nesting grounds. By using their giant flippers,() they dig a deep hole in the sand. In this hole, they will l
59、ay about 100 to 200 soft rubbery eggs. Once they are finished, the turtles will cover up the hole with sand and return to the sea, only coming next year to the same spot to dig another hole to lay eggs. The heat of the sun will warm the eggs and after a period of time, the hatchlings will climb out
60、of the sand and crawl towards the sea. Even though many turtles are hatched, many do not survive the first few weeks of their lives. There are many animals such as seagulls who prey on the young turtles. The baby turtles hard shell has not yet formed and has no hardened defense against the attackers
61、. Some turtles are caught in fishermens nets and left out to die. Other turtles are caught between the wastes man produced such as plastic bags and eventually die of suffocation（窒息） To make matters worse, Leatherback Turtles are hunted for their ornamental（装饰用的） shell and their eggs are considered d
62、elicacies. Illegal gathering for eggs to be sold in market also helps in the decline of these turtles.72. Leatherback Turtles are different from other turtles because_A. they are large in size B. their ribs and backbones are not joined togetherC. their ribs and backbones are not joined to the shellD
63、. they have front flippers73.

Which of the following is NOT a threat to Leatherback Turtles?A. Seagulls B. Hunting C.
