III. Reading
A
Dr. Hausman is a hair detective. Once a mountain lion killed a thirteen - year- old boy. The town offered a reward of thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion.
One day an excited hunter came to the town to say that he had killed the mountain lion. As proof that he had killed the right animal, he showed a ball of human hair. He said he had taken the hair from the stomach of the mountain lion.
However, another hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) the reward. He too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lion' s stomach. The town did not know which man to pay. Maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion. To settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to Dr. Hausman.
Dr. Hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paid. The hair in the stomach of the mountain lion he had killed matched the hair of the boy. The whole town was relieved to know for sure that the killer had been found.
There are other kinds of detectives who do not wear a uniform, like Hausman, solve endless mysteries every year. There is, for example, the dust detective. Tiny bits of dust stick to your clothes, your fingernails, your hair, or your shoes. They catch in your nose and in your ears. They tell where you have been and what you have done lately. The dust detective often helps catch a criminal by proving that he has been on the scene of the crime (罪案) .
Then there is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in America. The growth rings on a tree tell him.
56. According to the selection, by studying a piece of wood, a wood detective can tell you ______.
A. what the weather was like the year Columbus landed in America
B. what the weather was like last year in the mountain

A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child' s hearing ability is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he' s heard at school.
Why should this be? It's because he's not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught.
Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. They've got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. They've got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories. Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.
But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使……不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses.
Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son' s hearing. "But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.
"My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory," I said, "but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."
" Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy' s hearing was all right. So, that proves you're right on that point," admitted Mrs. Alien. "So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln. "
"You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately. " I cautioned.
I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.
60. Those who have poor hearing memories ______.
A. can not hear sounds clearly
B. are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned
C. are poor at learning things by what they have heard
D. have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of
61.The author suggested that Mrs. Alien try some ways ______.
A. to train her son' s hearing memory B. to make use of her son' s natural senses
C. to make good use of what her son heard D. to understand the trouble in which her son was involved
62. In paragraph 4, the underlined word "incredulous" means ______.
A. unbelieving B. believable C. believing D. incredibly
63. Which of the following is true?
A. Good hearing memory will not help your child do better in school.
B. Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.
C. The favoring of one sense over the other is not a bad habit.
D. The author didn't suggest a detailed program for the parents to use at home with William.

The word conservation has a thrifty (节俭) meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers (祖先) had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw (原始) materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated (复杂), and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.
Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction (破坏) and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long- term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone s daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man's fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume (立方) above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original (原始) beauty of nature as we can.
64. The author's attitude towards the present situation in the use of natural resources is ______.
A. positive (支持) B. neutral (中立) C. suspicious （怀疑） D. critical (批评)
65. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that __
A. they had no idea about scientific forestry
B. they had little or no sense of environmental protection
C. they did not know the importance of nature study
D. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials
66. With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that ______.
A. we plant more trees
B. we be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plants
C. environmental education be directed toward everyone
D. we return to nature
67. What does the author imply by saying "living space is figured also in cubic volume above the earth"(paragraph 3)?
A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller in volume.
B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.
C. We need to take some measures to protect space in volume.
D. We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals.

Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains.
