Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down inthe United States.The rest of his family remained in Europe.When World War I broke out,heseemed to have become another man,downherated.Such obvious change was not born out of hiswelfare,but out of fear.if his only son,my uncle,had to go to war,it would be cousin fightingagainst cousin.One day in 1918,my Uncle Milton receved his draft notice.My grandparents were veryupset,But my mother,at the age of 10,felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off towar.Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends,my uncle bought themal service pins,which meant that they had a loved one in the service.All the little girls weredelighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers,without any training but all inuniforms,boarded the train.The band played and the crowd cheeed.Although no one noticed,Imsure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son.The train slowly pulled out,but notabout a thousand yards when it suddenly paused.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowlyreturned to the station.There was a dead silence before the doors opended and the men started tostep out.Someone shouted,”The war is over.”For a moment,nobody moved,but then the peopleheard someone bark orders at the soldiers.The men lined up in two lines,walked down thesteps,and with the band playing,marched down the street,as returning heroes,to be welcomedhome.My mother said it was great day,but she was just a little disappointed that it didnt last a tinybit longer.51.What the grandfather was most worried about was.A.the sprread of the world warB.the safety of his living two cousinsC.a drop in his living standardsD.his relativers killing each other52.The underlined phrase“draft notice”means“A.order for army serviceB.train ticket for EuropeC.letter of rejectionD.note of waring53.What did the“service pins”(in Para.2)stand for in the dyes of the little girlsA.Strength.B.Courage.C.Victory.D.Honor.54.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the storyA.Disappointing.B.Unexpected.C.Uncertain.D.Inspiring.BThree years ago,five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona,thousands of miles fromthe Channel IsIands in Jersey sher they had been looked after by zookeepers.No evolutionarystrategies informed them how to behave in this new Iandscape of mountainous pine forestunoccupied by their king for 50 years.To the researchers surprise,they failed to make comtactwith a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time.Within 24 hoursthe reintroducing ended in failure,and the poor birds were back in cages,on their way to thesafety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.Ever since then,the programme has enjoyed great success,mainly because the birds now beingset free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild,confiscated(没收)on arrival north of theborder,and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme.The experience shows how littlewe know about the behaviour and psychology(心理)of parrots,as Peter Bennett,a bird researcher,points out:”Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult.Peoplelike parrots,always treating them as nothing more than pers or valuablecollectables.”Now that manty species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out,biologists are workingtogether to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds.Last year was animportant turning point:conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust,based at Hayle inCornwall,to support research into both wild and caged birds.Research on parrots is vital for two reasons.Forst,as the Arizona programme showed,whenreintroducing parrots to the wild,we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are tosurvive in their natural home.We also need to learn more about the needs oft parrots keot as pets,particularly as the Trusts campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice,but rather urgespeople who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.55.What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroducedA.Its landscape is new to parrots pf their king.B.It used to be home to parrots of their kind.C.It is close to where they had been kept.D.Pine trees were planted to attract birds.56.The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man-raised parrots _.A.can find their way back home in JerseyB.are unable to recognize their parentsC.are unable to adape to the wildD.can produce a new species57.Why are researches on parrots important according to the passageA.The Trust shows great concern for the programme.B.We need to knows more about how to preserve parrotsC.Many people are interested in collecting parrots.D.Parrots intelligence may some day benefit people.58.According to the passage,peple are advised_.A.to treat wild and caged parrots equallyB to set up cmfortable homes for parrotsC.not to keep wild parrots as petsD.not to let more parrots go to the wildCWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex,my first watch.I loved it,wore it for years,and havent had amother one since it stopped ticking a decade ago.Why Because I dont need one.Ihave a mobile phone and Im always near someone with an iPod or sonething like that.All thesedevices(装置)tell the time-which is why,if you look around,youll see lots of empty wrists;sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.This is ridiculous.Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars.Expensive clothes hang betterthan cheap clthes.But these days all watches tell the time as well as all lther watches.Expensivewatches come with extra functions-but who needs them How often do you dive to 300 metresinto the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole So why pay that muchof five years school fees for watches that allow you to do these thingsIf justice were done,the Swiss watch industry should have colsed down when the Japanesediscovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note.Instead the Swiss reinvented thewatch,with the aid of millions of piunds worth of advertising,as a message about the manwearing it.Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains;a PatekPhilippe is for one from a rich or noble famoly;a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes acrossthe world.Watches are now classified as“investments”(投资).A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly350,000,while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15,000 to 30,000 plus in a year.But a watch is notan investment.Its a toy for self-satisfaction,a matter of fashion.Prices may keep goingup-theyve been rising for 15 years.But when of fashion.Prices may keep going rp-they vebeen rising for 15 years.But when fashion moves on,the owner of that 350,000 beauty willsuddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.59 The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they_.Ahave other devices to tell the timeBthink watches too expensiveCprefer to wear an iPodDhame no sense of time60 Itseems ridiculius to the writer that_.Apeople dive 300 metres into the seaBexpensive clothes sell better than cheap onesCcheap cars dont run as fast as expensive onesDexpensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell61 What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passageAIt targets rich people as its potential customers.BIts hard for the industry to beat its competitors.CIt wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.DIts easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.62 Which would be the best title for the passageATimex or RolexBMy Childhood TimexCWatches Mot for Me!DWatches-a Valuable CollectionDA few years ago,paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask themwhat it would take to design a public school that uschool that used 50 percent less energy,costmuch less to build and obviously improved student leaming.”I think half of then fell off theirchairs,”Gemer says.Gemer manages scholl facilities(设施)for clark county,Nevada,a district roughly the siaeofMassachusetts.By 2018,143,000additionalstudentswillenterthealreadycrowdedpublic-education system.Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them.Four architecture teanshave nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品);they plan to consruct theirschools xtarting in 2009.The district will then assess how well the xchools perform,and threewinners will copy those desiiigns in 50 to 70 new buildings.Green schools are appearing all over,but in clark County,which stands out for itsvastness,such ag
