2． There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys．
Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure，providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta．The camps have excellent horses，professional guides and lots of support workers．They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience．
The morning ride，when the guides take you to beautiful，shallow lakes full of water lilies，tends to be more active．It is unlike any other riding experience．With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face．It is truly exciting．You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too．On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants，giraffes and many other animals．The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though，as does your heart rate，as you move closer to them．
In the evening，rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace．With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink．Sedate though they are，rides at this time of day are still very impressive．As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses，the romance of Africa comes to life．
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine．Looking back on your day，you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild．

3． Look to many of history’s cultural symbols，and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty，the snowman in the movie Frozen．It appeared on some of the first postcards，starred in some of the earliest silent movies，and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos，dating all the way back to the 1800s．I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world．
For example，snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages，built with great skill and thought．At a time of limited means of expression，snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky．It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art．Some were created by famous artists，including a 19-year-old Michelangelo，who in 1494was appointed by the ruler of Florence，Italy，to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard．
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death．The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen-an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner．Some were political in nature，criticizing the church and government．Some were a reflection of people’s imagination．For the people of Brussels，this was a defining moment of defining freedom．At least until spring arrived，by which time they were dealing with damaging floods．
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed，don’t worry：I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today．Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich，Switzerland，celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman．On the third Monday of April，the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds．The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood．After the bells of the Church of St．Peter have rung six times，representing the passing of winter，the pile is lit．When the snowman explodes，winter is considered officially over-the quicker it is burnt down，the longer summer is said to be．

66．According to the passage，why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？
    ．
A．People thought of snow as holy art supplies．
B．People longed to see masterpieces of snow．

B．snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C．snowmen were politically criticized
D．snowmen caused damaging floods
68．In Zurich，the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes    ．
A．the start of the parade
B．the coming of a longer summer
C．the passing of the winter
D．the success of tradesmen
69．What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？

4． If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．IIe’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It’s nothing personal．Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

64．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to    
A..provide some key facts about Confucius
B．attract the readers’interest in the subject

66．What is the best title for the passge？

B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
67．The passage is likely to appear in    ．

D．a philosophy textbook．

5． Easter （复活节） is still a great day for worship，candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies．
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The culprit is climate change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US，
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit，for instance．An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys，this species of cottontail is a great swimmer--it lives on the islands!--but it is already severely affected by
development and now by rising sea levels．According to the Center for Biological Diversity，an ocean level rise of only 0.6meters will send these～ys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat （栖息地） completely．
The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color issue．Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer，each designed to give them better cover from predators （～I～'）～As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country，however，more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators．Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight，but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question．The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down．
American pikas or rock rabbits，a relative of rabbits and hares，might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change．About 7-8inches long，pikas live high in the cool．damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains．As global temperatures rise，they would naturally migrate （J～2～） to higher ground--but they already occupy the mountaintops．They can't go any higher．The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem．These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico，and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700meters，but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher，so they are stuck in the middle．Scientists are concerned about their populations．
Native to the US，pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1pound and live in the American West．They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world．Their habitats have been destroyed by development．Several populations，such as the Columbia Basin pygmy，almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs．Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators，but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed．
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter．

41．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to    
A．show the importance of Easter Day         
B．introduce the issue about bunnies
C．remind people of Easter traditions
D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
42．The word“culprit”（Paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to    
A．criminal          B．judge               C．victim              D．producer
43．According to the passage，some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they    ．
A．are exposed to more skillful hunters
B．have moved to habitats with fewer plants
C．haven't adapted themselves to climate change
D．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
44．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that    ．
A．both are affected by less snow             B．both are affected by rising sea levels
C．neither can find enough food               D．neither can migrate to higher places
45．Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage？    ．
A．Approving．  B．Concerned．  C．Enthusiastic．  D．Doubtful．

6． For five days，Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents，and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves．Since is beginning  in 1980，the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating（念）the ture feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness（友爱）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song．
     This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival．“People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation，“Riedel said．“It's really east to relax，and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together．“These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes．People who take pleasure in Blues are there，so are people who love Bluegrass．This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests．
    With so many years of expenence．the festival has become a well-oiled machine，and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as possible．There are free water stations throughout the venue（举办地）for people to fill up their travel cups．When people buy food，reusable ashes are given a $2plate fee，but that is returned when the plate is brought back．
     The festival has completely sold out of tickets，and in record time．But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan，it’s easy to see how that was going to happen．There is no parking area during the festival，so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended．A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45minutes after the gates close．
    The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday，Aug.4with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund （基金）concert，and will finish up on Sunday，Aug.8．

7． It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers（生产商） follow certain uniform standards for various features（特征） of clothes．What seems strange，however，is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men．Take a look at the way your clothes button．Men’s clothes tend to button from the right，and women’s from the left．Considering most of the world’s population----men and women----are right-handed，the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women．So why do women’s clothes button from the left？
   History really seems to matter here．Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century，when rich women were dressed by servants．For the mostly right-handed servants，having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier．On the other hand，having men’s shirts button from the right made sense，too．Most men dressed themselves，and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt．
  Today women are seldom dressed by servants，but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them．Is it interesting？Actually，a standard，once set，resists change．At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left，it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right．After all，women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch．Besides，some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right，since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts．

64．What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry？    
A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400years．
B．It is different for men’s clothing and women’s．
C．It woks better with men than with women．
D．It fails to consider right-handed people．
65．What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century？    
A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons．
B．They were interested in the historical matters．
C．They were mostly dressed by servants．
D．They drew their swords from the left．
66．Women’s clothes still button from the left today because    ．
A．adopting men’s style is improper for women
B．manufacturers should follow standards
C．modern women dress themselves
D．customs are hard to change
67．The passage is mainly developed by    ．
A．analyzing causes                     B．making comparisons
C．examining differences                 D．following the time order．

8． Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands．Ecuador，watching the sun move quietly into the sea，you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin （1809-1882）arrived here in 1835．He stayed on the islands for five weeks，observing various animals．This finally inspired （启发） his famous work，On the Origin of Species．You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands．
  The islands are certainly a paradise （天堂） for wildlife，as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control．Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200years ago，each day is as impressive as it could be．
  The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise（巨型海龟），which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz，the second largest island in the archipelago（群岛）．Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself．
   Despite strict control over activities and timing，your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures：diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you； feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim； and，most magically，seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air．
   Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin，you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world．At night you will sleep on board the ship，leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands，which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time．

68．What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands？    
A．He studied different creatures on the islands
B．He completed his famous book on the islands
C．He was touched by the geography of the islands
D．He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands
69．Which of the following plays a role in making the islands“a paradise for wildlife”？    
A．Animals on the islands feed on grass．
B．Local government forbids killing wildlife．
C．People cannot visit the islands as they wish．
D．Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals．
70．Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of    ．
A．The beautiful sea views                  B．Darwin’s inspiring trip
C．a closer view of animals                  D．various daring activities
71．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？    
A．A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers
B．Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
C．Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos
D．A successful Example of Wildlife Protection．

9． In the United States，there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians，ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo．
  In the eastern United States，one of the existing types was that commonl y know under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived．The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends，made by bending young trees to form the round shape．Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather．Over the bark dried grass was added．A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top．Doorways at each end served also as windows，The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages．The wall had only one opening，They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near．
  Interestingly，the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive（原始的） construction，but different from those of the Iroquois Indians．The Choctaw Indians’wigwams，made from mud，cane and straw，were in the form of a bee-hive．The covering was made of a long，tough grass．A post in the centre supported the roof．A hole in the top admitted the light，and allowed the smoke to pass out．
  The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground，tied together near the top，and covered with bark and grass in the lake country．It was easily portable，and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour．
  The Pawnee，Mandan and other Indian tribes （部落） along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk，covered with earth and dried grass，housing a dozen families．
  The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass．
  Apart from the regular housing，almost every tribe had some style of housing．

10． The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people．Throughout history，advertising has been all effective way to promote （促进） the trading and selling of goods．In the Middle Ages，merchants employed“town criers”to read public messages aloud to promote their goods．When printing was invented in the fifteenth century，pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books．
By the end of the seventeenth century，when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people，printed materials became all important way to promote products and services．The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising．This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants．
Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century．Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text．Everything，from clothes to drinks，was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm’s name or product，words organized in eye-catching patterns，the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember．
Near the end of the nineteenth century，companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as“advertising agencies （广告商）．”The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group．Throughout the twentieth century，advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义） as a way of life，spreading the belief that  people could be happy only if they bought the“righ”products．
