During this season, it 36 rains there but it remains wet for seven or eight days on end. Dwellers in Shanghai, who usually do not feel the need for rain, will be 37 with having to confine themselves in their close quarters when outside it is gloomy with rain. While in the open, seeing to mountains, nor lakes, nor rain-drenched soft green leaves, youll find nothing comparable to a fine day. Sometimes, 38 , a rich mans car flashing past may splash you all over with 39 .I remember when I first came to Shanghai to 40 school six or seven years ago, I used to be so very busy with my homework that I often had to sit up 41 into the night. As it happened to be a rainy year, I was often disturbed by the pitter-patter of rain beating down 42 the window and roof. Indeed, I dislike rain very much.But thats something which can be experienced in Shanghai only. Ill never forget the days when I 43 the spring rain in my native place as a small child. One spring, together with two companions, I 44 a small boat to a town let ten li away to see a village opera. At midnight, after the 45 was over, we 46 in a rain on the way home. The rain beating on the awning（雨蓬） gave off a 47 sound, as if with musical rhythm and cadence（节拍）. My companions began to sing, to the accompaniment of the drip-drop, the local folk song In a Boat by a Bridge on a Rainy Night. It was truly fascinating.36AneverBusuallyCalwaysDconstantly37ApleasedBdisappointedCboredDangry38AhoweverBworse stillCmeanwhileDas a result39ApleasureBmudCpurposeDwheels40AattendBgoClive inDapply to41AdeeplyBlatelyCfartherDlate42AoverBbesideCthroughDagainst43AenjoyedBwatchedCcaughtDwelcome44AladedBrowedCpulledDwaited for45AsleepBclassCperformanceDscene46Awere lostBwere blockedCgot wetDgot caught47AloudBnoisyCpleasantDfamiliarSection C (12 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.For many Englishman there can never be any discussion48. to who is the worlds greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggests itself to（浮现在心头） him: 49. of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, 50. slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations（引语） from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of 51. time we are probably unaware 52. the source of the words we use.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any 53. writers, made full use of the great resource of the English language.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ASeveral animal species including gorillas in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if the impact of climate change and extreme weather on their habitats is not addressed, a UN report showed on Sunday.Launched on the sidelines of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and excessive land use have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.Many ecosystems have already been stressed by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive species, Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director general at the FAOs forestry department, said at the launch of the report.The most affected areas include mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to migrate elsewhere and create new habitats.The remaining populations become enclosed in very small ecosystems, they have inbreeding （近亲交配）problems . and at the end these species may disappear, he added.Other examples of affected animals included elephants in Mali, lions in the Serengeti and crocodiles in Malawi.The report said an estimated 20-30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant proportion of endemic species may become extinct by 2050 as a consequence.Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said.The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to tackling （应对）climate change such as mangroves（红树林）, inland waters, forests, savannahs（非洲大草原） and grasslands.The FAO also called for the creation of migration corridors for animals in areas where their movement was constrained.The organisation said while more resources were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at the government and policy level was needed.It also urged local communities to develop projects that mitigate the impact of climate change on wildlife, naming eco-tourism activities as an example.56Why are mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas becoming the most affected areas, according to the passage? ABecause animals there are more likely to migrate to other places and create new habitats.BBecause of higher temperatures and the rise in sea levels there.CBecause it is less possible for animals to move to other places and create new habitats.DBecause of the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases.57What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean?AMaking something become less serious.BMaking use of.CDeveloping.DMoving from one place to another.58All of the following are true EXCEPT “ ”.AThe increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive species have put great pressure on the ecosystem.BWe should pay more attention to the restoration of damaged ecosystemsCAll the plants and animal species will be at higher risk of distinction due to global warming by 2050.DFor animals living in areas where their movements was limited, we should create more corridors for them.59What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? AThere are no resources available to conserve the biodiversity.BIt is the local communities rather than the government that should take measures to protect the species from extinction.CIt is better for the local communities to restrict eco-tourism activities.DThe government should take some measures and some policies should be made to protect the biodiversity though more sources were being used for it.60What is the best title for the passage?AAnimals at riskBGlobal warming and its consequencesCSolutions to animal distinctionDAnimals at risk due to climate changeBChinese media and Internet users on Monday decried（谴责）a lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then his a sccond time by another van before an clderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girls mother, according to the vidco and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girls parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have scethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.But in recent years, the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting societys values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve societys morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case expose
