A four-year-old boy has become pen pals with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon, carrying his name and address, at a school party and it landed in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant, Angela Kelly, to write a letter on her behalf.

She wrote, “The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the gardens at Windsor Castle.”

Tom, who proudly put the letter on his wall, wrote back to say that his great, great grandfather, the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen, had been commissioned (正式委托) to copy Dutch masters’ on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works. She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings, explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.

Angela then asked a favor of Tom, writing, “Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great, great grandfather. Royal Collection would love to know more about him.”

Along with his parents, Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.

Although Tom’s parents don’t think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair, they were touched that she had taken time to contact them.

Tom’s father said, “I don’t expect we’ll get another one, but I think it’s incredible they bothered replying at all.”

OBERLIN, Kansas (AP) — A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in 1914, but its journey was much slower than Christmas. It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.

The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.

“It’s a mystery where it spent most of the last century,” Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.

“It’s surprising that it never got thrown away,” he said. “How someone has found it, I don’t know.”

Ethel Martin has passed away, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative. That’s how the 93-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel’s, sister-in-law. She said she believed the card had been found somewhere in Illinois.

“That’s all we know,” she said. “But it is kind of curious. We’d like to know how it got down there.”

“The card was placed inside another envelope with a modern postage stamp for the trip to Oberlin — the one cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn’t have covered it,” Martin said.

“We don’t know much about it,” she said. “But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape.”

65. was supposed to have received the postcard.

A. Bernice Martin. B. Ethel Martin. C. Santa C1aus. D. Steve Sehultz.

66．What seems quite mysterious is that ________.

A. how it was sent to a relative B. the postcard was still in shape

C. where the old postcard was kept D. the card was in a modern envelope

67．“the 93-year-old relic” refers to ________.

A. the Christmas card. B. an ancient cultural relic in Illinois.

C. an envelope with modern postage. D. a house passed down by Ethel Martin.

68．The best title of the passage would be ________.

A. A Special Christmas Card

B. Too Late Christmas Greetings

C. The Story of a Christmas Card

D. A Christmas Card Arrives Almost a Century Late

Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.

　　Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (肠胃气胀) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.

　　While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals’ passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物) in some countries.

　　“Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep,” said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.

　　“And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they’re actually up around 50 percent,” he said.

　　Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.

　　But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.

　　Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.

“It’s low in fat, it’s got high protein levels and it’s very clean in the sense that basically it’s the free-range (放养的) animal,” said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales’s institute of environmental studies.

73． Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep ________.

B. less cattle and sheep are raised in New Zealand

D. New Zealand has the most animals in the world

75．The main idea of the text is to ________.

A. discuss a better way to protect the each B. warn farmers of the danger of animal waste

C. illustrate the possible solutions to pollution D. present a recent study on global warming

76．The advantages Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos don’t include ________.

Massachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour’s drive from Boston lies Plimoth Plantation .
There you’ll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims (清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims’ homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily lives. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.
When you arrive at Plimoth, you are greeted with “How do you fare?” instead of “How are you?” In this living history plantation, actors portray (扮演) real people of 17th-century Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.
All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They’re happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don’t try to discuss modern topics. They won’t understand what you are talking about!
In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the first Thanksgiving. You’ll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You’ll find no pepper on the table. This expensive spice was used only sparingly (节俭地) in cooking. You’ll find no last-course “dessert,” either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.
Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plimoth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you’ll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.

Of course, the first Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore a re-created Wampanoag Home Site. It is just a short walk from Plimoth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americans dressed in 17th-century Wampanoag outfits(服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make a traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies （治疗法）.
Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plimoth, the past lives on.

77． From the text we know Plimoth Plantation __________.

A. is a cranberry plantation in Plimoth.

B. is where some old Pilgrims are still living.

C. presents the Pilgrims’ life in the 1600s.

D. is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.

78．What did the English settlers greet each other in the 17th century?

A. How do you fare? B. How are you?

C. Hi, nice to meet you. D. How do you do?

79．In Cranberry World tourists can _________.

A. harvest cranberries by yourself. B. learn how to grow cranberries.

C. taste various cranberry products. D. visit an old history museum.

80．The purpose of the rebuilt Wampanoag Homesite is _________.
