Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners, collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. S trong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on fields, houses, and asto nished people.    Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, "They look like millions of dead birds falling down." His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.37. What is this passage about?   A. A sad story.                 B. A rain of fish.   C. Australia's northern part.     D. The damage done by floods. 38. Fish-falls occur in Australia __________________.   A. quite often                B. on large farmsC. only in winter               D. when the air is calm 39. It is a known fact that _________________________.   A. one should watch where one steps   B. Bill Tapp is a scientist who studies fa rming   C. the natural world can never create waterfalls that fall upward   D. the seasons in the southern part are different from those in the northern part 40. The word "infinite" is closest in meaning to ______________________.   A. easy         B. difficult       C. countless      D. dangerousB"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed  and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."41. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.A. satisfying    B. tough    C. meaningless    D. boring42. The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that______.A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant    B. Kathy persuaded her to do soC. Zoe got tired of the city life     D. Zoe loved Wales more than London43. How docs Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?A. Tiresome and troublesome.     B. Romantic and peacefulC. Mentally exhausting but healthy    D. Physically tiring but rewarding.44. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.    B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.       D. Kill two birds with one stone.CHidden in our subconsciousness (潜意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw（拼图玩具） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.“Relish(appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.45．Why does the author describe the mental picture?  A．To lead us into a perfect world. B．To let people enjoy the scenery. C．To introduce an actual trip of his. D．To compare it to our life’s journey.46．How do people feel when they’re on thei r trip? A．Puzzled. B．Happy. C．Relaxed. D．Impatient.  47．What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today” in Line 2 Paragraph 5? A．Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today. B．We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear. C．regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life. D．We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.48．Why does the author write the passage? A．To teach us a good lesson.  B．To tell us the right attitude to life. C．To advice us to forget our worries.  D．To stop us wandering along the aisles.第二节（共5小题； 每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。ClaustrophobiaClaustrophobia, or fear of enclosed spaces, is one of the most common fears.
