Cao Min couldn’t believe she was experiencing exactly what she had seen years ago in the film “Titanic”.
Cao and her two children from Anhui Province were traveling on board the “Liaoludu 7” on February 22. They were among the first people on the ship who were rescued by lifeboats. Cao’s one-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.
The “Liaoludu 7” was traveling in the Bohai Straits from Lvshun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 2:30 pm and tilted(倾斜) on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry (渡船)began to sink.
“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump onto a lifeboat,” Cao recalled.
Upon receiving the may·day appeal (紧急呼救), China Marine Search and Rescue Centre immediately informed the State Council. The center sent eight lifeboats to the sinking ship and asked for help from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Navy and nearby fishing boats.
After more than four hours of fighting strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were rescued. All but four survived. These four died after spending too long time in the freezing waters, according to a spokesperson for the Beijing-based center.
56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The film “Titanic” had been on show again in Shanghai.
B. Cao’s two-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.
C. “Liaoludu 7” with all passengers on board survived.
D. The ferry began to sink on the way to the port of Shangdong Province.
57. The underlined word “scared” in paragraph 4 means “__________” in English.
A. anxious B. unfortunate C. disappointed D. frightened
58. From the passage we can infer that __________.
A. China Marine Search and Rescue Centre quickly carried out the rescue task
B. the center sent eight lifeboats and asked for help from the United Nations
C. the passengers were fighting strong winds and freezing ocean water for one hour
D. the ferry sank into the sea immediately it tilted on its side at 2:30 pm
B
Throughout the Depression(经济萧条)years, my brothers, sisters and I often heard our granny say，“One of these days, my ship is coming in.”Of course Granny’s ship was just a dream---her escape from the reality of being poor most of her life. But to us it was very real.
Our family got by with the barest(最少)of necessities, there rarely was enough left over for special desires. So if we wished for other things, we told Granny about them, and she would plan for them to be aboard her ship.
At times we kids worried greatly as to how the ship was going to arrive at Granny’s house in the deep pine woods of East Texas, miles from any waterway. One day when Granny was sitting with us on her front porch, we asked her how she expected the ship to come. Shifting in her rocking chair, she pointed to the beautiful clouds floating in the bright blue sky.
“Why, children,”she explained，“Granny’s ship has big beautiful sails. Some day it will rise up on clouds like those, and come floating right up to the front door.”
As we grew older, our childish wishes for BB guns, baby dolls and mohair sweaters were replaced by dreams of an education, a job or a lovely wedding. We told Granny of those goals and she put each one aboard her ship.
Granny has been gone a long time now, but I still remember how we sat with her on the porch scanning the skies for her help. She never told us the name of it, but I think perhaps it was “Hope”. For Granny told us to have patience, to reach beyond our limitation, and many of our dreams and wishes did indeed come true.
Even now, sometimes, when the skies are brilliantly blue, with soft puffy clouds sailing along with the breeze(微风), I look up---to see Granny’s ship. Its sails are full and proud. It is a beautiful ship, carrying a wonderful cargo of many packages of many sizes---all marked“From Granny. With Love.”

Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man’s best friend can even find bladder (膀胱) cancer.
Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors(气味). Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine(尿). The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.
The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The man was later found to be skin cancer.
Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people.
Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 samples for the dogs to smell. The dog should signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker dogs were correct 56 percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of 41 percent.
The British Medical Journal published the research. In all, 36 bladder cancer patients and 108 other people took part. During training, all the dogs reportedly even identified（认出）a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person’s right kidney(肾).
Carolyn Willis says dogs could help scientists identify the combined chemicals produced by bladder cancer. That information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help identify markers for other kinds of cancer.
67. What’s the general idea of the text?
A. Dogs have a good sense of smell B. Dogs can help cure cancer
C. Dogs can smell cancer D. Dogs help perform experiments
68. According to the text, people who suffer bladder cancer_____
A. often have urine with unusual smell
B. probably smoke cigarettes in their life
C. can easily make dogs lie down
D. are likely to die within nine years
69. The underlined word “involved” in the text is closest in meaning to _____.
A. showed B. proved C. used D. preferred
70. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Dogs can only smell bladder cancer.
B. Dogs have a good knowledge of cancer.
C. Scientists might invent some equipment to test cancer.
D. Cancer doesn’t have any sign in the beginning.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

Text 10
Alfred Nobel, the greatest Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt man, but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature; an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company, he was often sad alone. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him. He invented a new explosive to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellowmen. During his useful life he often felt he was useless: “Alfred Nobel,”he once wrote of himself, “ought to have been put to death by a kind doctor as soon as, with a cry, he entered his life.”World—famous for his works he was never personally well known, for throughout his life, he avoided publicity.“I don’t see,”he once said，“that I have deserved any fame and I have no taste for it.”But since his death, his name has brought fame and glory to others.
