16、rker, was echoing the feelings of thousands of Beijing people as summer entered its hottest stage. Thursday was the hottest day of the year so far, with the temperature officially reported as 36 degrees. But many people believe the government understates the real figure because regulations (条例 ) pas
17、sed in the 1950s allow workers to stay at home for all or half day if the temperature is higher than 38 degrees. “ It was at least 40 degrees on Thursday, “ said Liang Guojun, a middle school teacher. “ It was unbearable. But the newspaper said only 36 and forecast rain. Of which there was none. In
18、Beijing, visitors to Daguanyuan Park in the southwest of the city said the ground temperature reached 55 degrees on Thursday. The Beijing Evening News reported yesterday that more than 3 , 000 people had been admitted to hospitals suffering from heat stroke (中暑 ) , while local power companies were s
19、truggling to meet the demand for electricity. A heat wave is sweeping much of the mainland, with temperatures in parts of Beijing, Shandong and Hebei provinces reaching as high as 39 degrees. Xinhua said the average temperature in Beijing on Thursday was 36 degrees but in the northern part of Tanghe
20、 Kou it was 39 degrees. Hundreds of people suffering fevers were treated at hospitals. The Chaoyang hospital in northeast Beijing reported 55 such cases on Wednesday. They said most were caused by the difference in temperature between air-conditioned areas and outdoors. Mr. Liang said the regulation
21、 on stopping work when the temperature reached 38 degrees was passed in the 1950s when Beijing had no air-conditioning and depended on fanseither handheld or electric. “But in those days the temperature rarely reached 38 degrees, so the rule was not actually used. Now we have had years of global war
22、ming and industrial pollution and the summers get hotter each year, which means that the temperature is often higher than 38.

26、ld this text most probably appear?（A）In a monthly magazine.（B） In a tourist guidebook.（C） In a childrens book.（D）In a newspaper. 40 Some people think that the time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood, and that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn another language. There is
27、 little evidence, however, that children in language classrooms learn foreign languages any better than adults (people over age 15) in similar classroom situations. In fact, adults have many advantages over children: better memories , more efficient ways of organizing information, longer attention s
28、pans, better study habits, and greater ability to handle complex mental tasks. Adults are often better motivated than children; they see learning a foreign language as necessary for education or career. In addition, adults are particularly sensitive to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of v
29、ocabulary, two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms. Age does have some disadvantages, however. For instance, adults usually want to learn a foreign language in a hurry, unlike children, who can devote more time to language mastery. Also, adults have complex communication.
30、 Adults need to be able to argue, persuade, express concern, object, explain, and present information about complex matters than are concerning their work or education. Because most adults do not like to appear foolish, they often deny themselves opportunities to practise for fear of making mistakes
31、, not getting their message across, or appearing ridiculously (可笑的) incompetent. Also adults have more trouble than children in making new friends who speak the foreign language. So the best time to learn a foreign language is when your need is clearest and you have sufficient time. If you are stron
32、gly motivated to study a foreign language and if you have enough time to do it, the best time to begin is now.41 That children can learn foreign languages better than adults is_.（A）obvious（B） not proved（C） well known（D）correct42 Adults have many advantages over children in learning a foreign languag
33、e except_.（A）being better motivated（B） better study habits（C） more time to learn the language（D）organizing information more efficiently43 Adults practise English less than children because _.（A）they fear to make mistakes（B） they have little time（C） they have to do their work（D）they do not have forei
34、gn friends44 Two factors that influence the language studying are_.（A）time and age（B） ability and sex（C） talent and age（D）time and motivation45 The purpose of this passage is_.（A）to show best time for foreign language learning（B） to describe adults and children（C） to prove childrens advantages（D）to
35、advise peoples learning foreign language45 Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call
36、on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs finally catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part
37、in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100, 000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But o
38、ver the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的). Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly sabot
39、eurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox
40、 hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Br
41、itain.46 Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes_.（A）for recreation（B） to limit the fox population（C） in the interests of the farmers（D）to show off their wealth47 What is special about fox hunting in Britain?（A）It involves the use of a deadly poison.（B） It is a costly event which rarely occur
42、s.（C） The hunters have set rules to follow.（D）The hunters have to go through strict training. 48 Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game _.（A）by resorting to violence（B） by taking legal action（C） by confusing the fox hunters（D）by demonstrating on the scene49 A new law may be passed by the

44、cessary（C） hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent（D）fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich50 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?
45、“ “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ “And Paulwhy didnt I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about
46、 our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You re a lucky dog. “ Is he really on your side? If he says, “You re a lucky guy. “ or “You re a lucky gal. “ , thats being
47、 friendly. But“ lucky dog“ ? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise tha
48、t says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you
49、 havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking abou
