    Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
    In western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes—like tuxedos(小礼服)and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.
    It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.
    Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(again). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
    Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat back – eyed peas(豇豆)for good luck － but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
    64. Which culture celebrates New Year in the morning?
    A. The United States.  B. Spain
    C. France            D. The passage doesn’t say.
    65. What is a resolution?

    C. Something you say.  D. Something you wear.
    66. What is the topic of the fourth paragraph?

    D. Remembering the past.
    67. Which is probably true about eating black – eyed peas on New Year?

    JURASSIC Park (《侏罗纪公园》) could become a reality with dinosaurs making a comeback after a discovery last week. Scientists found remains of a dinosaur's blood vessels (血管) and cells. In theory, DNA from these cells could be used to clone the long dead dinosaur.
    A team from North Carolina State University found the remains in a fossil of the leg bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex (暴龙) in Montana, US.
    The last dinosaurs on the Earth died some 65 million years ago, but they left bits of themselves behind wherever they lived. Around the world, dug-up bones and fossils have given scientists many ideas about what the animals were like.
    Preserved by minerals, the newly discovered leg bone was hard. So the scientists used a liquid to dissolve the minerals. A week later, the remaining material was soft and stretchy, which surprised the researchers.
    Some of the materials appeared to be a network of blood vessels. Out of these, the researchers were able to squeeze（挤出）tiny, round, dark-red and deep-brown structures that seemed to be ancient blood cells.
    Scientists are overjoyed by this discovery because most fossils come from hard body parts, like bones and shells, which last a long time. Soft tissues, like skin, muscle, and organs are very hard to find because they tend to break down more quickly.
    Scientists think that the new discovery will help them better understand how fossils form. Future finds should also help flesh out how the dinosaurs lived.
    They were also very excited by the possibility of having some dinosaur DNA. From that scientists could create a real life “Jurassic Park”.
    In the Hollywood movie, scientists reproduced dinosaurs from the DNA they found in a mosquito fossil and disaster soon followed.
    68. Scientists are excited _________.
    A. because they have got dinosaur DNA
    B. about making a movie called "Jurassic Park"
    C. because they found the liquid to dissolve fossils
    D. because it’s very hard to find soft tissues in fossils.
    69. The latest discovery can tell us ______.
    A. what the animals were like
    B. how fossils form
    C. how the dinosaur lived
    D. how to get dinosaur DNA
    70. What does the underlined phrase“flesh out”mean in the article?
    A. Add more details or information to.
    B. Take more photos of.
    C. Make the public know more about.
    D. Find the answer to.
    71. Why is the latest discovery very important?
    A. It could make it possible to make dinosaurs return to the former position.
    B. It could throw light on how dinosaurs lived many years ago.
   C. It could prove what dinosaurs were like.
    D. It could explain why dinosaurs died some 65 million years ago.

    Although hurricane season doesn’t begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995 and was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.
    Some 14,000 people left the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane’s wake.
    Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.
    Hurricane season typically begins on June 1 and lasts through November 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2005 season.
    “It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land,” NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.
    Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricane Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.
    This year’s forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.
    “The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic,” said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.
    72. Which of the following is the name of the first hurricane of the year?
    A. Charley      B. Adrian 
    C. Jeanne      D. Frances
    73. How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text?
    A. Six.   B. Nine. C. Five.   D. Three.
    74. We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ___________.
    A. have nothing to do with the hurricane
    B. cause less hurricane
    C. are more likely to cause the hurricanes
    D. do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast
    75. The passage implies that ___________.
    A. hurricane season comes early this year
    B. every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land
    C. hurricane often comes in winter and spring
    D. tropical storm is more severe than hurricane

    Ladies and gentlemen,
    I’m Li Hua. Today, I’m greatly honored to speak here on behalf of my school. I’m going to talk about the high school education of my city.
    From Chart1, we can see high school students are from different family backgrounds. Besides local students, who make up 91%, eight percent of the students are the children of non-local workers. There are one percent foreign students.
    According to Chart 2, the student’s choices after graduation have presented a wider variety. 60% of them intend to go to university.30% choose to enter vocational schools, and the rest ten percent plan to go abroad for further studies.
I think, we have more freedom to choose what we would like to do after graduation. Going to college is no longer the only choice for most of us as it was years ago.
    I believe the future of the education in our city is promising!
    That’s all. Thank you.
