Besides electricity, a lion fears water the most, and rainstorm with thunder and lightening brings both. For that reason I always have a written 36 that frees me from performing when it's raining.
For two days it was raining without stopping. By the third night, it wasn't raining at all. I gave the sign to the announcer, and the band began 37 my music.
The animals went through their tricks, but they were far from being 38 about the wetness.
And so we came to the head-in-mouth 39 . When I pulled Leo’s mouth open, raising his face and nose to the 40 , I noticed that the muscles of his jaws (颚, 颌) were tense. Then, as I put my head in, a rain began pouring down. I felt Leo become 41 all over.
My head was in now. I counted to ten and then gave him the tap-on-jaw 42 to let me go. But this time 43 happened. I 44 again on his jaw. Leo’s mouth was like a steel trap(夹子). I heard 45 . Men were trying to get Leo’s 46 . But already, with my face 47 in the back of his mouth, I was finding it 48 to breathe, I knew what had happened: with the rain beating on his face, Leo had 49 me. I heard the gunfire again... .
I awoke with an oxygen mask(氧气罩) over my face, and a doctor was working over me. “You’re 50 , ”said the doctor, “as soon as you went faint (晕倒) , the lion 51 you. For nearly three minutes you had no heartbeat!”
By then it had stopped raining. I called Leo back and 52 his jaw. “Don’t be a fool!” the doctor said, 53 I put my head in and counted to ten. Then I gave Leo the tap on the jaw, and he obeyed immediately.
Yes, when I tried the trick again the next time, Leo refused. I believed he was unwilling to 54 me a second time. I 55 did the trick again.

An underworld leader Galatro and three bodyguards were gunned down Thursday by unknown attackers after a short gunbattle.
Galatro and two of the bodyguards died immediately, the police said, while the third body-guard remains in serious condition at Margaret Haig Hospital.
The only eyewitness(目击者) told the police the three or four gunmen were dressed in overalls and hard hats like building workers. One pulled a light machine gun out of a bag and sprayed the four with bullets, the witness said. The other gunmen fired handguns.
Three of the men fell immediately, but one of the bodyguards managed to pull his handgun and returned the fire before being shot himself, the witness said.
The gunmen then jumped into a black car and drove off. Police said the car was later found in Stegmen Street.
Police sources said the 48-year-old Galatro was the leader of a new crime syndicate (犯罪团伙), challenging the city gansters(暴徒) for control of the city. The city gangsters decided to get rid of him. Killers were brought in from outside the state to do the job.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
60.Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A. Yellow, green B. Blue, violet C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white
61. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Sociable people like warm colors.
B. Warm colors can make people excited.
C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
62. Which is the right color for different rooms?
A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining rooms.
C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies
63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool
B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.
（C）
Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners(吸尘器), collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.
64. What is this passage about?
A. A sad story. B. A rain of fish.
C. Australia’s northern part. D. The damage done by floods.
65. Fish-falls occur in Australia_________ .
A. on large farms B. only in the winter
C. quite often D. when the air is calm
66. It is a known fact that ________.
A. the seasons in the southern part of the world are different from those in the northern part
B. one should watch where one steps
C. the natural world can never create waterfalls that fall upward
D. Bill Tapp is a scientist
67. The word infinite is closest in meaning to _________ .
A. difficult B. easy C. countless D. dangerous
(D)
The single, decisive factor(因素) that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities(社区，聚居地) was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.
Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more people could be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.
Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.
All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of a few differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods became possible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood, brick, and stone could be put up.
The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons. By doing so they created the first calendars(日历). With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurements of amounts, for example, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later measures of value as money exchange became common.
All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China appeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.
68. The final result of the development of agriculture was that_________ .
A. the population increased slowly
B. a constant supply of food was certain
C. a new social formation came into being
D. a variety of jobs were open to people
69. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. Mathematics helped create the agricultural society.
B. Societies in the past in different parts of the world grew in similar ways.
C. Modern cities developed out of originally wealthier villages.
D. Cloth-making marked an important period in agricultural development.
70. The development of mathematics ________ .
A. enabled people to arrange their agricultural activities better
B. got the society out of the agricultural age
C. helped create early agricultural civilization around the world
D. made possible the exchange of agricultural goods
71. It can be safely concluded that _______ .
A. the development of mathematics played a decisive role in the birth of modern cities
B. the earliest civilization first came into being in the Middle East
C. all ancient civilizations around the world developed in exactly the same way
D. the development of agriculture played a very important role in human history
72. The text is mainly about _________ .
A. the importance of agriculture
B. the relationship between agriculture and society
C. the origin of agriculture
D. the ancient civilization

One possible version：
Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether the college students should study at home or abroad for further education. Some of my classmates are in favor of studying in some foreign countries, especially in some developed countries. They hold the view that there are a great many world famous professors or experts as well as excellent equipments. On the other hand, they can get well paid and become well-known in their career at the same time. However, other students are against the idea, saying that our motherland has given too much money to support their study smoothly though she has not been very rich up to now. Meanwhile, students can do well in every aspect with the knowledge they have learnt.
Every coin has two sides, in my opinion what college students are studying at home or abroad is badly needed nowadays in China. If the students learn much advanced science and technology, it’s a golden chance for them to serve our country. It will benefit their country and their families as well, which is the best way.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
