Then my teacher told me she had written a narrators（解说者的）part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didnt tell my mother what had happ
19、ened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英）popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the
20、 bunches. I think I am going to dig up all these weeds, she said. From now on, well have only roses in this garden. But I like dandelions, I protested. All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions! My mother looked at me seriously. Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesnt it? she asked t

Over the next few weeks, with her
22、 continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came.

32、konos D. VeronaCWhen a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, art
33、ifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.Underwater archaeology -the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water -is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has
34、occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸），underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.Underwater archaeology can provide facts abut the past. In ancient ports all over th
35、e world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of peoples way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the worlds knowledge of history, but they have to fight tw
36、o enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and

As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even wi
41、thout tigers.However, the officials cant simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy(悲剧),animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利润)of circus organizers.It is now time f
42、or us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.*Circus Safe for AnimalsOur circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”
43、First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems. we always believe humans and animals canand shouldlive together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species(物种),and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this
44、special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal
45、 kingdom.This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.52.What is the main purpose of the first passage? A.

They are helpful in saving their species.D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.55.What is the most probable relatio
48、nship between the two passages?A. A public request and a newspaper report.B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.C. Two parts of a newspaper article. D. Two newspaper reports.EThe flag, the most common symbol(象征) of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbol
49、ic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact. It is ,rather, the product of thousands of years development. Historians believe that it had
50、two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. Peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned h
51、ow to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was
52、 more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the
53、 power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves. These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carrie
54、d ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.56.The best title for the p
55、assage would be A. Development of the National Flag B. Power of the National Flag C. Types of Flags D. Uses of Flags57.The underlined word vulnerable in Paragraph 3 means A. impossible to make sure of B. likely to be protected C. easy to damage D. difficult to find58.The earliest flags were connecte
56、d with heavenly power because. A. they could tell wind directionB. they could bring good luck to fightersC. they were handed down by the ancestorsD. they were believed to stand for natural forces59.What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He beli
57、eves it was made in Egypt.C. He thinks it came from China.D. He doubts where it started.60.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of
