              You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight． They hit one another hard． At the start they only fight with their fists． But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs． And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below． He is dead!
              Of course he isn't really dead． With any luck he isn't even hurt． Why？ Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains， who crash cars or even catch fire， are professionals． They do this for a living． These men are called stuntmen． That is to say， they perform tricks．
              There are two sides to their work． They actually do most of the things you see on the screen． For example， they fall from a high building． However， they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress． Again， when they hit one another with chairs， the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows， the glass is made of sugar!
              But although their work depends on trick of this sort， it also requires a high degree of skill and training． Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing． For example， when he is "blown up" in a battle scene， he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just a the right moment．
              Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work， but they lead dangerous lives． They often get seriously injured， and sometimes killed． A Norwegian stuntman， for example， skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high． His parachute（降落伞） failed to open， and he was killed．
              In spite of all the risks， this is no longer a profession for men only． Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions． For nowadays there are stuntwomen， too!

              (1) Stuntmen earn their living by ______ ．
              A. playing their dirty tricks
              B. selling their special skills
              C. jumping out of high windows
              D. jumping from fast-moving trains
              (2) When a stuntman falls from a high building， ______
              A. he needs little protection
              B. he will be covered with a mattress
              C. his life is endangered
              D. his safety is generally all right
              (3) Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance？ ______
              A. Strength．
              		B. Exactness．
              		C. Speed．
              		D. Carefulness．
              (4) What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman？ ______
              A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman．
              B. The percentage of serious accidents is high．
              C. Parachutes must be of good quality．
              D. The cliff is too high．

              Why should people spend their valuable"free time"reading fiction，the purpose of which，at best，is only entertainment？We recognize that some novels are entertaining，but leave no lasting impression．What makes a novel more than entertainment？
              Our answer is that we don't just read great books----they read us as well．The human condition is complex and contradictory（矛盾的），layered like an ice-cream，with flavors blending（混合）among the layers．A great novel reflects that complexity．We may read it several times，as we do with our favorites，and each time it is like finding an old friend and gaining new insights from that friend．We put it down with new understandings of the world around us and，most important，of ourselves．
              Let's look at the novel Frankenstein，written in 1818 by Mary Shelley．Frankenstein is a young man who is impatient to seek out the secrets of the universe．He collects body parts， assembles an eight-foot creature，and charges it with life．When the yellow eyes open，however，Frankenstein is shocked．He abandons the creature，which is laughed at and attacked．It becomes angry and ends up as a monster．
              On one level，Frankenstein is entertaining-a good horror story，though a little dated when compared，for example，to Stephen King's best sellers like the Dark Tower series．But Shelley writes more than just scary entertainment．
              On a deeper level，her book forces us to ask whether humans reach too far in playing God．Genetic engineering（基因工程）already enables us to change the food we eat and the very bodies in which we live．At what point are we trying to take over God's creativity，to gain knowledge that is as forbidden as the fruit of the Garden of Eden？
              Shelley，of course，knew nothing of genetic engineering．But she did know that the Industrial Revolution was sweeping across England and ambitions for scientific progress were intense in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century．She was deeply troubled by what human beings might discover about themselves，and the effects of those discoveries on society．
              Our reading of great literature can also be enriched by understanding the author's personal interests and anxieties．Shelley was only eighteen when she wrote Frankenstein．Birth and death are closely linked in her prose and in her experiences．Her mother had died giving birth to her，and by the time she began writing this great novel，she herself had already had two babies out of marriage．One had died within a few weeks．The novel reflects her deep anxieties about giving birth and her fears that birth will bring death．

              (1) According to the passage，reading fictions ______ ．
              A. may make our life simple
              B. may bring back long-lost friends
              C. can get rid of our contradictory ideas
              D. can deepen our understanding of ourselves
              (2) The underlined word"assemble"in Paragraph 3 probably means ______ ．
              A. to create something interesting
              B. to develop something unusual
              C. to explore the unknown secrets
              D. to put together the separate parts
              (3) By reading Frankenstein， ______ ．
              A. we may reach the point to play God
              B. we may get to eat the forbidden fruit
              C. we get more than scary entertainment
              D. we learn more about genetic engineering
              (4) What might be the best title for the passage？ ______
              A. Why People Read Fictions
              B. How Fictions are Written

              DOHA （AFP） - The destruction of natural habitats in Europe is wiping out butterfly， beetle and dragonfly species across the region， the updated European "Red List" of endangered species showed Tuesday．
              Scientists examining Europe's 435 butterfly species found that the populations of one in three species are falling and nine percent are already threatened with extinction．
              "For example， the Madeiran large white butterfly is seriously endangered， having not been seen on Madeira for at least 20 years，" International Union for the Conservation of Nature （IUCN） said．
              "Most butterflies at risk are in southern Europe，" said Annabelle Cuttelod， coordinator of the European Red List at IUCN．
              "Their main threat is habitat loss， most often caused by changes in agricultural practices． Climate change， forest fires and the expansion of tourism make the situation even worse．"
              Cutting trees has led to a decrease in the population of some beetle species that depend on decaying （腐烂的） wood． Known as saproxylic beetles（食腐甲虫）， they play an important role in ecosystems by recycling nutrients．
              Some 11percent or 46species of them are at risk of being lost from the region， while seven percent are threatened with extinction worldwide．
              "The main long-term threats to saproxylic beetles are habitat loss due to logging and the decrease in the number of mature trees，" said the IUCN．
              For dragonflies， it is the overuse of freshwater resources that is causing these species to drop in numbers． Five percent of dragonfly species are threatened with global extinction， while some 11 percent are considered to be threatened within Europe．
              "Increasingly hot and dry summers combined with overuse of water for drinking and agriculture are causing the dragonflies' wetland habitats to dry up，" said the IUCN．

              (1) What is true for Europe's butterfly species？ ______
              A. The populations of more than 435 butterfly species are shrinking．
              B. About 40butterfly species in Europe are in danger of dying out．
              C. Eastern Europe is in more danger of losing the butterfly species．
              D. The Madeiran large white butterfly has been living on Madeira for more than 20years．
              (2) What is the main cause of habitat loss of butterflies in Europe？ ______
              A. Climate change．
              B. Changes in agricultural practices．
              C. Environmental pollution．
              D. The expansion of tourism．
              (3) How many species of beetles feeding on decaying wood are threatened with extinction worldwide？ ______
              A. About 7．
              		B. About 11．
              		C. About 15．
              		D. About 29．
              (4) The main threat facing the dragonflies is ______ ．
              A. the lack of fresh water resources
              B. the decreased number of mature trees
              C. agricultural practices
              D. the hot and dry weather
              (5) We may learn from the passage that ______ ．
              A. European "Red List" has nothing to do with IUCN．
              B. dragonfly species are well protected in other parts of the world
              C. wildlife is generally well protected in Europe
              D. the disappearance of natural habitats is largely due to human activities

              The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water．With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture，the worldwide supply of water needs careful management，especially in agriculture．Although the idea of a water shortage（短缺）seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country，many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages．
              Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons，the costs of water redistribution（重新分配）are very high．Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself，but there is also an environmental cost to be considered．Where valleys（山谷）are flooded to create dams，houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed．Besides，water many flow easily through pipes to fields，but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other．Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements．
              This is particularly troubling to countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation（灌溉）．In Texas，farmers'overuse of irrigation water be resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores．In the Central Valley area of south eastern USA，a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry village，but much of the water use has been poorly managed．
              Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have been the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves．Because there is no rainfall in these areas，such reserves can only decrease，and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry．

              (1) From the first two paragraphs we learned that ______ ．
              A. much of the world's water is available for use
              B. people in high rainfall countries feel lucky
              C. the costs of water redistribution should be considered
              D. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world
              (2) Which of the following is true？ ______
              A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%．
              B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages．
              C. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50years．
              D. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley．
              (3) What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？ ______
              A. Stepsto improving water use management．
              B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams．
              C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages．
              D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply．

              Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope．This evening，as on every Thursday night，psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes，coffee drinking and the"talking cure"．Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings．It isn't always easy．The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2（plus drinks） per session-are quick to intellectualize （高谈阔论），slow to open up and connect．"You are forbidden to say‘one feels，'or‘people think'，"Lehane told them．"Say‘I think，'‘Think me'．"
              A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed？It couldn't seem more un-French．But Lehanne's psychology café is about more than knowing oneself：It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafés．Over the years，Parisian cafés have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours，a fast food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home．Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation．Cafes focused around psychology，history，and engineering are catching on，filling tables well into the evening．
              The city's psychology cafés，which offer great comfort，are among the most popular places．Middle-aged homemakers，retirees，and the unemployed come to such cafés to talk about lover，anger，and dreams with a psychologist．And they come to Lehance's group just to learnto say what they feel．There's a strong need in Paris for communication，says Maurice Frisch，a café La Chope regular who works as religious instructor in a nearby church．"People have few real friends．And they need to open up，"Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafés all over France．"If people had normal lives，these cafés wouldn't exist，"she says，"If life weren't a battle，people wouldn't need a special place just to speak．"But then，it wouldn't be France．

              (1) What are people encouraged to do at the café La Chope？ ______
              A. Learn a new subject．
              B. Keep in touch with friends．
              C. Show off their knowledge．
              D. Express their true feelings．
              (2) How are cafés affected by French lifestyle changes？ ______
              A. They are less frequently visited．
              B. They stay open for longer hours．
              C. They have bigger night crowds．
              D. They start to serve fast food．
              (3) What are theme cafes expected to do？ ______
              A. Create more jobs．
              B. Supply better drinks．
              C. Save the cafe business．

              In sport the sexes（性别）are separate．Women and men do not run or swim in the same races．Women are less strong than men．That at least is what people say．Women are called the weaker sex，or，if men want to please them，the fair sex．But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities．There are women who are famous Prime Ministers，scientists and writers．And women live longer than men．A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74，a man only until he is 68．Are women's bodies really weaker？
