(B) (an extract from a detective story) ... "Sit down," Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. "What are you here for?" "I understand you had a party last night." said Logan, a police officer. "Yes," said Henderson, "Oh! I hope the neighbours haven't been complaining about the noise again." "Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran. who came to the party hasn't been home yet." "Fran" said Henderson. "Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember—about one o'clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning." Henderson looked quite relaxed. "Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly. "Oh, God! " Henderson sat forward. "You don't think...the same thing has happened to Fran?" "We're keeping an open mind," said Logan, watching him carefully, "but we're giving it our full attention." "Well, yes. I can understand that." replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again. "So," repeated Logan, "did you know Clare?" "Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything do with each other." Said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile. "Who else was at your party?" asked Logan. "People from the university," said Henderson. "Students, teachers." "David? " asked Grant. Logan's partner. "Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early." "What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either. "Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson. "And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find." Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. "I sometimes end up in the bedroom." ... (     ) 54. How many characters are mentioned in the story? A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven.

He looked at the gold and silver. "The world is tricked by appearances," he said. "People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?" Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. "No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. "Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine." Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. "Is it really true?" he asked. "Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so." (     ) 57. What may "cowards" do when they face the difficulties? A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up. C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others. (     ) 58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. B. The servants advised Bassanio to choose the lead box. C. Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia. D. Bassanio was too excited to believe himself after reading the writing. (     ) 59. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture C. The things in the boxes D. Tricks by appearances (D) As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn't find the chimps' tea parties funny, nor does the bird show entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses (马戏团), especially the animal acts - men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty. Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals have now almost disappeared, and zoos have definitely improved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose (反对) zoos. "Animals belong in the wild," is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad. Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal - research programmes. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well - trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course, it's no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself? (     )60. The passage is mainly about . A. how zoos have improved B. whether a zoo should be closed down C. a new environmental organization D. the difference between zoos and circuses (     )61. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals . A. had much shorter lives than those in the wild B. were not treated well by their trainers C. should have been placed in zoos D. were not as intelligent as those in zoos )62. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA? A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo w: kers. B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations. D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards. (     )63. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with? A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild. B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past. C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past. D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals. 第II卷（主观题 共64分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A) 根据句意在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的正确形式。 64.
