His schoolboy brothers were asleep. “What is the matter with you?” cried his parents in surprise. “Oh, don’t ask!” Mitya laughed and sank into an armchair. “What’s the matter?

Tell us sensibly!” “You live like wild beasts, you don’t read the newspapers. If anything happens it’s all known at once, nothing is hidden! How happy I am! You know it’s only famous people whose names are published in the papers!” “What do you mean? Where?” “Yes! My name has been published!

He cleared his throat and began to read: “At eleven o’clock on the night of the 29th of December, a clerk of the name of Mitya Kuldarov…” “The frightened horse was stopped, but Kuldarov, at first in an unconscious condition, was taken to the police station and there examined by the doctor. The blow he had received on the back of his head happened not to be serious…. We must all learn from him.” “You have read it now? Ah! So you see. Now it’s all over Russia!

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7分) Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release heat which provides the energy. There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the Greenhouse Effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have nothing left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient. Scientists are working on another fuel—hydrogen. There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the earth's surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels. Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating (分离) it from water cheaply, and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. Solving these problems is an urgent (急迫的) matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still large oil and gas reserves(储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be bad if they are used. 78. ______ isn’t carbon-based fuel. A) Hydrogen B) Natural gas C) Coal D) Oil 79. Using carbon-based fuels can ______. A) cause traffic accidents B) cause floods and forest fires C) produce hydrogen and oxygen D) produce carbon dioxide 80. The underline word “global”in Paragraph Two means “______”. A) the Earth’s surface’s B) ball-shaped C) world-wide D) atmosphere’s 81. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage? ______ A) It’s not easy but difficult to store hydrogen. B) Storing hydrogen is dangerous in high pressure tanks. C) There are almost unlimited carbon-based fuels on the Earth. D) Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. 82. Oil, coal and natural gas will be used up ______ if there is no new fuel. A) sooner or later B) at the present time C) before 2012 D) in 20 years’ time 83. Perhaps ______ can reduce the air pollution. A) China, India and Australia B) a new technology to get hydrogen C) the Greenhouse Effect D) the internal combustion engine 84. The best title for the passage is ______. A) Fossil Fuels’ Reserves B) Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide C) The World’s Most Important Fuels D) Using New and Efficient Fuels C.

Milu deer, a kind of animal with large horns(角), used to be c 93 in China long ago. People could see Milu deer in most places at that time. Like other deer they lived together and ate grass and the soft parts of trees. But later, Milu deer were often killed for food or sport. The Ming and Qing dynasties(朝代) did not protect them and many were killed. That is how the Milu deer d 94 from China. Luckily b 95 all of them were killed, some were taken to Britain to improve the environment of the beautiful park which belonged to the Duke of Bedford(贝德福特公爵). He liked them so much that he took them from China to Britain. Milu deer liked the cool, wet weather in England and their number increased year by year. As a result, when in 1985 the government of China wanted to bring back the Milu deer, the Duke of Bedford was able to h 96 .

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 14分) Harland Sanders (1890-1980) was the founder of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). He learned to cook as a child because his father died when he was six years old. His mother went to work, leaving Harland in the care of his 3-year-old brother and baby sister. He began preparing food for them. At the age of 10, Mr. Sanders began working on a farm for two dollars a month. His difficult childhood caused him to work in many places. He was a streetcar conductor in Indiana at 15 and a soldier in the Cuban-American War when he was 16. After the war Harland worked as a railroad fireman. Then he studied law by correspondence, which allowed him to get a job as a justice of the peace (治安官员). He then worked on a steamboat, sold automobile tires(汽车轮胎), and later became a gas station operator. He was then 40 years old. Since he liked to cook, he began serving his gas customers chicken at his own dining room table. Mr. Sanders realized people were coming to buy gas because of the chicken he served. So, he left the gas station and bought a motel(汽车旅馆) and restaurant that seated 142 people. Over the next nine years, he made a secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices to flavor for his chicken. In 1935, Governor Ruby Laffoon gave a title to the 45-year-old cook. He called him Colonel Harland Sanders because he had contributed so much to making the state of Kentucky famous because of his chicken dinners. He was living in the city of Corbin, Kentucky. When a new state highway bypassed(绕开) his city, he had few customers so he sold his motel and restaurant. He had no income except for the 105$ per month social security check from the government. However, he had an idea that changed the history of fast food restaurants. At the age of 62, he travelled across the country by car and started a franchising business(专卖店业务). He was so successful that in the next 12 years, 600 KFC restaurants were started. In 1964, he sold his business to investors based in Louisville, Kentucky. In 7 years, the company grew to 3,500 restaurants. Today there are more than 11,000 restaurants in 80 countries. Every large city in China has a KFC restaurant. 99.
