42 if it is too dry or too wet. So men have long hoped to find a way to get 43 of it.
But their efforts have up to now produced little 44 .
Though it is true that 45 can change the weather, nor can anybody 46 control it, we have learned many things about it from 47 and through study. We have found that certain signs 48 when there is going to be any big change in the weather. If we 49 the signs correctly, we can tell what the most important changes in the 50 will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the 51 day or two is called “weather forecast”.
People in all countries have for many years 52 the weather and tried to make weather 53 . The following are some of their findings.
Sometimes distant 54 such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor（蒸汽），which shows that 55 will probably come.
When distant 56 , such as the noise from far-off trains, are heard very clear, then wet and stormy weather is on the way.
If you see a rainbow during 57 weather, this is a sign that it will 58 and become fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. However, if a rainbow appears in the morning, then you can take it that rainy weather will continue. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will probably continue.
And then many people feel in their 59 the coming of wet weather. Their joints（关节）or their old wounds ache, which always tells 60 it is going to rain.
Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains, and they proved to be very useful in forecasting the weather.

Feng Xiaogang stroke box office gold again.
The Chinese director’s film, Aftershock, has pulled in more than 160 million Yuan(＄23.6 million) at the box office in China since it was screened three days ago, according to a report from Xinhua news agency. That total doesn’t include the takings from the 14 giant IMAX screens on which the film is screening around the country.
The movie, about a family that was torn apart by the 1976 Tangshan earthquake and reunited years later in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, is on its way to become the biggest box office hit for a Chinese movie in the national market. It also means the movie, which was produced by leading Chinese studio HuayiBrothers, is close to taking back its budget（预算）of about ＄25 million.
Aftershock surpassed the 100-million-yuan mark in three days, faster than the previous record-holder: It took The Founding of a Republic, a movie with an all-star cast celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, three and a half days to hit100 million Yuan, according to the Xinhua report. That movie went on to earn a total national box-office of 420 million Yuan, the highest for a Chinese movie.
However, Aftershock has a long way to go before reaching the all-time box office leader in China. That honor goes to Hollywood’s 3-D film, Avatar, which pulled in more than ＄200million in China, according to SARFT（广电总局）.
Feng’s film, 2008’s romantic comedy If You Are the One, earned about 350 million Yuan, a box office record at the time. The 52-year-old director recently told The Wall Street Journal in an interview that his commercial successes have brought him some pressure about continuing the trend.
Aftershock is Imax’s first non-Hollywood major studio film, and the first of three Chinese-language films that IMAX and Huayi plan to release.
61. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “aftermath” in Paragraph 3?
A. A catastrophe.
B. An unhappy experience.
C. A consequence of a disaster.
D. Great sufferings.
62. What can you know from the fourth paragraph?
A. Aftershock has pulled in 100 million Yuan in total.
B. The film The Founding of a Republic is directed by Feng Xiaogang.
C. Aftershock has got the highest box office in the world.
D. The Founding of a Republic once got the highest box office in Chinese movies.
63. According to Paragraph 2 and the last paragraph, what do you know about IMAX?
A. IMAX is a kind of special giant screen.
B. IMAX has screened some Chinese films in China.
C. IMAX is a famous international director.
D. IMAX is the first non-Hollywood major studio film.
64. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Aftershock is a great film directed by Feng Xiaogang.
B. If You Are the One once set a box office record of Chinese movies.
C. The Founding of a Republic is a success.
D. Avatar made in China has got the highest box office.
65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Aftershock is a Great Film Directed by Feng Xiaogang
B. Aftershock, the First of Three Chinese-language Films to Be Released
C. Aftershock Breaks Box Office Record
D. Aftershock—a Non—Hollywood Studio Film

The largest concern of many rich people is how to leave money to their children.
How much is too much? How can they be prepared? What is the best age to receive money?
Yu Pengnian, a famous Chinese bussinessman, has some wise words for this. Mr Yu, announced that he is giving away the last ＄500million of his wealth to his charitalbe foundation （慈善基金）. When he was asked whether his children are angry ablut the donations, his response was “They were not against this idea, at least not in public.”

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.
These are the things I learned: Share everything. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out, watch traffic, hold hands and stay together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we all like that.
Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need to know is somewhere in it.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all-the whole world—had cookies and milk at about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.
70. According to the author, most of what the author learned is from______.

D. graduate school
71. Which of the following is NOT likely to be learned?
A. When he does something wrong, he should make an apology.
B. Stay up late to prepare for exams.
C. Sleep for some time after lunch.
D. Do cleaning whenever necessary.
72. If we all had cookies and milk at about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then had a nap, ______.
A. the world would become more wonderful
B. we would have good policies
C. we would learn more from kindergarten
D. all people would stay healthier, work harder and achieve more
D
For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone's life as nothing．
Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation．
The expression "give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others．
A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who
is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers．
"Out in the cold" means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay r ise――he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．
73．There are ______ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．A．3 B．4 C．6 D．7
74．When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by "____ __"．
A．I give him the cold shoulder B．I think he is a cold-blooded man
C．I think he is a cold fish D．I'm likely to get cold feet
75．If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _______．
A．she is a cold-blooded killer B．she gets cold feet
C．she is a cold fish D．she is out in the cold
五．任务型阅读：
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填1个单词。
In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long ancient wall. It is now well known as the Great Wall of China. It starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become a symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.
There are lots of beautiful legends(传说) and stories about the Great Wall and its construction. Those that happened during its construction are rich enough, such as Meng Jiangnv's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnv's story is the most famous and most widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall, The story happened during the Qin Dynasty. It tells of how Meng Jiangnv's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnv's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing about him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the Great Wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howling caused a part of the Great Wall to collapse. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese people.
Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty who was good at arithmetic, He calculated that it would need 99,999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor(篮督人) did not believe him and said if he miscalculated even
by one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However, Yi Kaizhan said seriously that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. To move it would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass.
Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wall help to keep alive Chinese history and
culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall, many more stories were created and spread.
