St. Helena. And 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将） of the same name in 1506. and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second- and often wrongly mentioned is the most distant andis Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor. Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moat, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722. however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory（智力领土）. They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.56It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha .Awas named after its discovererBgot its name from Holland settlersCwas named by the British governmentDgot its name from the Guinness Book of Records57Which of the following is most famons for moat?ATristan da Cunha.BPitcairn Island.CEaster Island.DSt. Helena.58Which country does Easter Island belong to?ABritain.BHolland.CPortugal.DChile.B BReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills（读写能力）, With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudg-mental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence(自信心), according to Intermountain Therapv Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard-reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the childrens department.Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April. According to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.59What is mainly discussed in the text?AChildrens reading difficulties.BAdvantages of raising dogs.CService in a public library.DA special reading program.60Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _.Adogs are young childrens best friendsBchildren can play with dogs while readingCdogs can provide encouragement for shy children Dchildren and dogs understand each other61By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library_.Auses dogs to attract childrenBaccepts the idea put forward by ITAChas opened a childrens departmentDhas decided to train some dogs62A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _.Aa book used in Saturday classesBa book written by the childrenCa prize for the childrenDa gift from parentsC CTalesTales FromFrom AnimalAnimal HospitalHospitalDavid GramDavid Gram has become a familiar face to millions of fans of Animal Hospital.

Interesting yet based on fact. Michael Whites learned yet readable new book offers a true picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic(魔术) ended and science began.18.99 Hardback 320pp Fourth Estate ISBN 1857024168Fermats Last TheoremSimon Singh In 1963 a schoolboy called. Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the worlds greatest mathematical problem: Fermats Last Theorem(定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermats Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.12.99 Hardback 384pp Fourth EstateISBN 185702521063What is Animal Hospital?AA news story.BA popular book.CA research report.DA TV programme.64In Michael Whites book, Newton is described as _.Aa person who did not look the same as in many picturesBa person who lived a colourful and meaningful lifeCa great but not perfect manDan old-time magician65Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “baffle” as it is used in the text?ATo encourage people-to raise questions.BTo cause difficulty in understanding.CTo provide a person with an explanation.DTo limit peoples imagination.66The person who finally proved Fermats Last Theorem is _.ASimon Singh BAndrew WilesCPierre de FermatDa French woman scientist 67What is the purpose of writing these three texts?ATo make the books easier to read.BTo show the importance of science.CTo introduce new authors.DTo sell the books.D DThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo words that come from outsidehave been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流) of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional(传统的) Japanese.“The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new.” says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. “By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media(媒体) to pick up.”“Experts(专家) often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers.” said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. “Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese.”Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language.
