请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come
and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
66.Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A. He had just got a new cage. B. He liked its beautiful feather.
C. He wanted it to sing for him. D. He wanted a pet for a companion.
67.The mockingbird died because it ______.
A. was frightened to death B. ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C. refused to eat anything D. drank the poisonous water by mistake
68.An ornithologist probably means ______.
A. a religious person B. a kind person C. an expert in birds D. a schoolmaster
69.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A. Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
B. All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
C. You should keep the birds from their mother.
D. Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

One of the principles(原则) that makes this country great is our freedom to say, write, and read whatever we want. Yet countless people are attempting to restrict(限制) our access to certain books, even removing some from library shelves. They give reasons ranging from the promotion of witchcraft(巫术) to the encouragement of violence(暴力). Book banning has become so common recently that the last week of September is known as Banned Books Week, when a list of the most frequently banned books is compiled(编写). There have also been lists of frequently banned authors, as well as most banned books of the decade. What is interesting about these is that many of the books are classics(经典).
Take a quick look at any of the lists and you will find such world-famous authors as J.K. Rowling, J.D. Salinger, and Mark Twain. Some of the banned books are often required reading in schools, indicating that these books have been judged appropriate for young people time and again, yet some continue to try to ban them. Don’t they believe in the school’s cautious judgment? Those who want to ban books are often parents concerned about their children. Of course, nothing is wrong with parental concern, but parents are often overprotective and misinformed about the content (内容)of these books. At a certain age, students should decide for themselves what is appropriate. In many book-banning cases, the concerned parent hasn’t even read the entire book.
Some reasons for book banning, like promoting violence or racism, have been used constantly over the years. Since the early 1990s, an increasing number of books have been challenged because of their unhealthy content. If the books in fact contain unhealthy content, then keeping them from young readers makes sense. In the majority of the cases, school boards refuse to ban the books, occasionally only restricting them, due to inefficient evidence.
This year the Harry Potter series topped the list of most banned books. That series doesn’t have content or promote violence. But many who attempt to ban Harry Potter ignore the fact that the books have encouraged many children to fall in love with reading. Instead, they say that these wonderful books confuse children, making it difficult for them to tell right and wrong. I’ve read all the Harry Potter books several times, and have never been encouraged to become a violent person. Instead, I have found myself falling in love with reading. Of course, there are cases where restricting a book is reasonable, especially some books that have content inappropriate for young readers. However, book banning has reached a ridiculous (荒唐) scale. If Harry Potter can turn me into a devil(邪恶) worshipper, where does it end?
73. What does the author think of banned books?
A. Most of them are think out of date B. Some are actually proper to read
C. They contain too much harmful content D. They were all written by famous authors
74. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Book banning is not a new thing
B. Most school boards support book banning
C. Young readers have difficulty in getting bad books
D. Many books promoting violence have come out since the 1990s
75. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.
A. encourage students to read more widely
B. remove misunderstanding of the Harry Potter series
C. teach people how to choose appropriate books to read
D. call on people to make a wise decision on book banning

Projects give students an opportunity to experiment with something they have never seen or studied. Projects give them a chance to explore interesting phenomena and show their skills of presentation. School projects provide the students with a chance to think and work creatively. Just give them interesting project ideas and the students are sure to surprise you with their work!
For example, developing a website for their school is an excellent project idea. To build a school website, students need to have a good knowledge of the organization of their school. They will need to create a database(数据库) and an interface(界面) through which users can interact with the database. Student and teacher attendance, access to homework and enrollment (登记)to school activities and so on can be included in the website. Along similar lines, the students can go for the development of online applications for school library or sports club.
It is also a good idea to encourage the students to take part in social work. Their project can include a visit to a social organization and a report on their understanding of the organization’s work. You can help them reach non-government organizations(NGOs) or non-profit organizations(NPOs) where they can organize social activities. Or let them volunteer for a social event in the city. Arrange a visit to a public school of children with special needs, a public hospital or nursing home. Let the students understand the functioning of such organizations and volunteer for help.
In addition, those interested in science and engineering can choose projects, like studying the design for solar-powered(太阳能的) or wind-powered appliances. Studying industrial processes, going on factory visits and meeting successful businessmen can be other good choices for students. These project ideas are purely study-based projects.
In short, you can pick any of these ideas. I am sure you’ve found them useful. Projects give students a chance to learn new things, research on new topics and subjects of their interest. Projects help to make their planning and organizational skills better and raise their confidence. If done in teams, projects also help strengthen(增强) teamwork.
