Luke has always been my closest companion these past five years.As you already know,there have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season.Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year.Not far from our shelter,a forest caught fire during this hot summer.We are on July,a heat wave which has been going on for three days.
Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out a fierce heat.There's no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back to the shelter.In fact,I was waiting for the fire brigade(消防队)to announce me his death in the forest.Suddenly,a fireman burst into my office and informed me that my dog Luke succeeded to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames.

According to the fireman,Luke seized the kittens,one by one moving them to a safe place.
I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the rescued kittens.Once on the scene of the incident,Luke was not there.Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest barking.I recognized the sound of my dog Luke.The firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately waiting for rescue.
Thanks to Luke,four kittens and a fireman were saved.That day,I was very proud of Luke for his two heroic actions.Luke showed much compassion for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to put out the fire with his colleagues.Truth to tell,my happiness is great and immeasurable.
I paid a visit to the fireman in his house accompanied with my lovely Luke.What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged Luke tightly to his chest!“One thousand thanks,Luke,for saving my life,"the fireman said.
This true story of love and compassion shows us that pets are loving,caring and compassionate.We should love and protect them.Don't belittle them.Little animals can make enormous things for humans.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago,we should probably have to say that we could not remember.But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day,we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history .Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written
account of them .Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their

country,but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write.For example,
we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa,because they had not learned to write.
Sometimes,of course,even if the people cannot write,they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people,and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings,and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations,for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call "remembered,history".Some of it has now been written down.It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records,such spoken stories are often very helpful.

A.“Remembered history”,compared with written history,is less reliable
B.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.
C.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.
D.Where there are no written records,there is no history.
62.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because
A.there was nothing worth being written down at that time
B.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D.the people there did not know how to write
63.“Remembered history”refers to .
A.history based on a person's imagination
B.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C.songs and dances about the most important events
D.both B and C
64.“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when
A.it is written down B.no written account is available
C.it proves to be time D.people are interested in it
65.The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had
A.kept a written record of every past event
B.not burnt their written records in wars
C.told exact stories of the most important happenings D.made more songs and dances

With petroleum reserves (石油储量) decreasing,the search is on to replace gas with a cleaner,greener alternative.Though much eco-talk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans,the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source:algae (藻类).
Algae,like corn,soybeans,and other crops,grow via photosynthesis (光合作用) and can be processed into fuel oil.However,they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans,according to the U.S.Department of Energy.Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted water-while corn and soy require arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the world's population balloons.
“If you replaced all the diesel (柴油) in the U.S.with soy biodiesel,it would take half the land mass of the U.S.to grow those soybeans,”says Matt Caspari,chief executive of Aurora Biofuels,a Berkeley,Calif.-based private firm that specializes in algae oil technology.On the other hand,the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States,it would require 15,000 square miles,which is a few thousand miles larger that Maryland (12,407 square miles),the 42nd state in land area.
Another bonus:Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space,they 're being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber.Smokestack emissions (烟囱排放物) can be pumped directly into the ponds,feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Although processing technology for algae fuel—also known as “oilgae” in some environmentalist circles—is improving,it's still years away from reaching your local gas pump.“It's just a question of cost,because no large-scale facilities have been built yet,” Caspari says.
66.The underlined word“yield”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by A.control B.require C.produce D.grow
67.Compared with corn and soybeans,algae
A.may pollute water and soil B.can grow in poor conditions
C.provide much less energy D.need more special care
68.According to Paragraph 3,one of the advantages of algae fuel is that A.it can be used more widely B.it is more easy to produce
C.it needs much less land D.it costs much less money
69.What do we learn about algae from Paragraph 4?
A.Algae help protect the environment. B People can grow algae anywhere.
C.Fish can get more oxygen from algae. D.Algae produce less waste.
70.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Environmental protection. B.Biofuels from corn and soybeans.
C.The false hope of biofuels. D.A promising oil alternative.
