    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
This month saw the start of a cross-cultural program bringing Britain and China closer together. With the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, on a week-long tour of China from April 9 to April 14, there was plenty of time for greater ties to be forged. With the Olympic torch set to pass from Beijing in 2008 to London in 2012, the two capitals are more strongly linked than ever. The mayors of both cities signed an agreement on April 10 to encourage further co-operation on everything from tourism and culture to education and business. But things didn't stop in Beijing. Livingstone's trip also took him to Shanghai, where he signed an agreement with Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng to promote ties between their cities. But don't think this means that the cities will be just working together on boring business matters. Poetry is part of the package too! The Shanghai metro will display poems by four British poets in a groundbreaking cultural exchange between the world's two most popular languages and its oldest and newest subway networks. As part of the deal, the London underground is displaying lines in English from some of China's great wordsmiths: Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. Meanwhile, in China, the Shanghai metro will display extracts in Chinese from William Wordsworth's "Daffodils", Kathleen Jamie's "The Blue Boat", Michael Bullock's "Butterfly", and William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence".
Blake was also a painter and engraver who illustrated and printed his own books. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance.

Japan may have fallen behind in the technology of the moment, the internet. But the country’s traditional strength---- designing and producing things that are convenient and small----- will possibly become more and more important as people are making better use of the internet. The following wonders are already taking shape in the R&D Labs.
Micro-medical device  Swallow the capsule and it will travel through your body looking for disease, taking pictures of trouble spots and even performing micro-operation where needed. Some will be tiny enough to enter the blood and deliver small amounts of medicine.
Cell phone The hand-held device of the future combines a cell phone, a personal digital assistant and a “secretary”. Ask “her” to read out your schedule, dial a number or order flowers over the net. Broadband pipes will eventually allow real-time conferences and CD-quality sound.
Hands-free Feeding Device Secom’s feeding robot could be good news to the disabled. Move the beam fixed to your head to highlight an electronic image of the food in your lunch box. Then push the “eat” button and the robot will take the real thing for you.
Wearable TV Hang Sony’ television set around your neck and catch the news as you wait for the bus. Use a memory stick and you can even watch a video. The wire serves as an antenna( 天线).
Electron Book The print in Toshiba’s electronic book will look as sharp as it does on good paper, and of course it’s enlargeable. Better still, the book can read out loud to you. Choose from hundreds of texts stored in memory or download a fresh tale from the Net.
Automated Driving System Turn a switch and the Mitsubishi Electric driving system will take over your car relying on sensors(传感器) aboard the car and fixed in the road. The satellite feeds to the system to tell the auto how to get you where you want to go.

Lenox Avenue in suburban East Orange, New Jersey was long a hotbed of guns and violence and one of New Jersey’s toughest streets. But Big Brother has cleaned it up.
   Police say that thanks to new technology there has not been a single violent crime in almost a year on a street where the notorious (臭名昭著) Bloods gang sold cocaine (可卡因) and drive-by shootings were once commonplace.
    Now high-tech cameras and gun-shot sensors are fixed at each end of Lenox Avenue, and on many other East Orange streets. The residential (居民) avenue of many multi-family homes is blocked from traffic and, with the exception of the 24-hour police presence, it looks as quiet and peaceful as most New Jersey suburbs.
   “There’s no drug dealers or nothing here. They all left,” said Andre Davis, 15, riding his scooter on Lenox. “There’s no gang bangers, no drugs. The cops done a good job.”
   The effort is part of a push to reverse（使反转）a trend which saw the town------ once a middle-class suburb of white collars who took a 30-minute train to Manhattan------ reverse a decline sparked by the deadly 1967 race riots (暴乱) in neighboring Newark, which gradually transformed the town into a slum (贫民窟) populated almost entirely by low-income blacks.
  “This was once a very prominent city and a very safe place to live,” said East Orange Police Director Jose Cordero of the town of about 70,000 people, whose Central Avenue was once called “the Fifth Avenue of New Jersey.” The veteran New York City police officer took the top job here in 2004 and says murder dropped to a 25-year low of 14 in 2005, down from 22 in 2003. Overall crime is at a 20-year low.
   Last summer, police installed cameras in crime-ridden neighborhoods and on the city’s commercial centre each equipped with sensors that can detect the sound of gunfire. Police use the cameras to zoom in (镜头拉近) on certain streets and virtually “walk” down the pavements looking for crime. In what  local cops call “The Brain Room,” a half-a-dozen officers monitor (监控) large flat-screen televisions showing street activity. And a “Virtual Community Patrol” allows residents to view still pictures of their block and report crimes to police using their home computers.
   East Orange spent about US$300,000 on the system, but the Internet technology that brings it all together was donated by a Manhattan-based company.
64. “Big Brother” in the first paragraph probably refers to ____________.
    A. the notorious Blood gang
B. Director Jose Cordero
C. the criminals
D. high-tech cameras
65. According to the passage, the social security in East Orange has been greatly improved because of ______________.
A.the great work done by “a Virtual Community Patrol”
B.the use of many new high-tech cameras
C.the effective measures taken by the local police and the use of high-tech equipment
D.a veteran police officer took charge of the police in East Organ
66. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The residents in East Orange can help the police by watching the pictures of their own neighborhoods on TV.
B.Some deadly race riots in 1967 caused the depression and decline of the area
C.The crime rate in the town has dropped to the lowest point in 2005 
D.The local cops (=police officers) are equipped with high-tech cameras and guns when patrolling the streets
67. The underlined word ‘prominent’ in paragraph 6 probably means___________.
A.dirty and badly-managed
B.poor and backward
C.important or well-known
D.modern but crowded
D
For most people, playing tennis or going to the gym is a good way to exercise and relax. However, some people are not satisfied with such “boring” sports. They prefer dangerous sports like mountain climbing, scuba diving, or bang gliding. These daredevils love the adventure of reaching the top of the highest mountain, swimming underwater in dangerous areas of the ocean, or jumping off a mountain and silently gliding down to flat land. They feel most “alive” when there is the possibility that they might die the next minute.
Why do these people participate in such dangerous sports? There are many answers. Some daredevils are actually very careful. they examine the potential dangers, pay attention to both their physical and mental health, and carefully check their equipment. Often, they choose a specific sport because they have always been frightened of it, and they want to have power over their fear. They do not want to die, but they do not want to be scared of dying either.
Other daredevils are very different from “normal” people. Most people, for example, feel nervous before doing something dangerous, afraid during the event, and excited afterward. Many daredevils, on the other hand, feel so excited during the dangerous action that they decide to do it again and again. They are addicted to excitement as other people are addicted to drugs or alcohol. It is possible that many daredevils have slightly higher amounts of certain chemicals in their bodies, but scientists haven’t studied this enough yet to be sure.
68.Which of the following true?
   A.People can be addicted to feelings as well as to chemicals.
   B.Daredevil sports are excellent for the health.
   C.Most people choose sports that they know they are good at.
   D.Doctors can treat addiction to danger with drugs.
69.The main idea of the first paragraph is _______.
   A.the good way to exercise and relax
   B.the reason why some people are not satisfied with “boring sports”
   C.the difference between “boring sports” and dangerous sports
   D.some people who like adventure participate in dangerous sports
70.Daredevils like dangerous sports because _______.
   A.they enjoy the possibility to die the next minute they participate in them
   B.they definitely have higher amount of certain chemicals in their bodies
   C.they don’t want to be ruled by fear
   D.they don’t want to be threatened of dying
71.The author didn’t clearly state, but simply implied_______.
   A.Some people find playing tennis or exercising in the gym boring
   B.A person could die from participation in certain sports
   C.Some people are very careful when they participate in dangerous sports
   D.Many daredevils have a feeling of excitement while they are doing dangerous acts

When Laura reached sholl-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent（紧迫的）. Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever; but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.
So their father brought home two copies of Mavor’s First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable（音节）, he was sent away to work on a distant job, only coming home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-i-t-s on the m-a-t’s stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking, “Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-e spell?” or “w-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?” Often when her mother was too busy or too tried to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew（希伯来语）for all she could make of it, frowning（锁眉）and  studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration.
After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and yet make sense of the whole. “I’m reading! I’m reading!” She cried aloud. “Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I’m reading!”
72.Laura’s father didn’t want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ______.
   A.it was too far away
   B.they couldn’t learn enough
   C.their hair would become dirty
   D.they would ruin their clothes
73.The children’s father decided to teach them to read and write at home so that they _______.
   A.had an excuse not to have to move
   B.had a reason for not attending school
   C.could write to the School Attendance Office
   D.wouldnlt have to go to school before they moved
74.The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-i-t-s on the m-a-t’s stage” suggests that ________.
   A.Laura was working hard
   B.her father had no time to teach her
   C.her mother was too busy to attend to her
   D.The words made no sense to her
75.From the passage we can infer that _______ made Laura stare at a page in her book.
   A.her lack of concentration           B.her ability to understand
   C.her need to understand Hebrew     D.her determination to understand 第II卷  (共35分)
