30、. Tree was unhappy because Mr. Coyote had not said “please”! Mr. Coyote had to take himself apart and put each part through the small holes of the tree, but his eyes were too big. He took his eyes off and tried putting them through a hole. Mr. Coyote finally came out and put himself together but cou
31、ldnt find his eyes. He couldnt let other animals know he was blind. He then put two rose petals (花瓣) in for his eyes. This would cover the blindness for a little while. Mr. Snail saw Mr. Coyote with the rose petals in his eyes. He was so interested in it that he wanted to try this, so he took off hi
32、s eyes and put them into Mr. Coyotes hands and tried putting the rose petals in his eyes. Then Mr. Coyote put Mr. Snails eyes into his head and ran off quickly.

37、e that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behaviour, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position.
38、The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent
39、 very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn（顽固的）, but you arent very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled
40、 up（卷曲）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You kno
41、w your strengths and weaknesses. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. 61. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _.A. only in

46、 has more strengths than weaknesses D. he or she often considers annoying people C What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the ti
47、me. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use ou
48、r brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will
49、 grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These,
50、 as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any long
51、er. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still b
52、e a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.66. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. mans life will be different in the future B. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller as time passes D. man will disappear67. What serves as the evidence（证据）that man
53、 is changing? A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner. C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker. D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.68. The change in mans size of forehead is probably because _. A. he makes use on
54、ly 20 % of the brains capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on69. What is true about a human being in the future? A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He
55、 has smaller eyes and wears better glasses. C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them. D. He thinks and feels in different way.70. We can infer that _. A. human beings will become less attractive in the future. B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its becoming worse
56、C. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictablePart 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage.
