Have you ever heard your own voice? “Of course,” you say.
　　Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, “Of course.”
　　But that’s not quite true. Nobody else has ever heard your voice — the way you hear it. When you talk, you set up sound waves（声波）. The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones of your head pick up the sound waves, too. They carry the sound waves straight to your inner（里面的）ears. You get the sound from the outside and the inside too. Other people get just the sound waves from the outside. That’s why they don’t hear your voice the way you do.
( ) 56. Sound travels in the form（形式）of ________.
　　 A. bones　　　 B. air　　　　C. waves　　　D. voice
( ) 57. The sound of your voice begins ________.
　　 A. inside your head　　　　　　　　B. outside your head
　　 C. in your inner ears　　　　　　　 D. in your outer ears
( ) 58. When you talk, other people hear your voice ________.
　　 A. through the bones of your head　　B. from the outside
　　 C. from the inside　　　　　　　　 D. all of the above
( ) 59. The underlined phrase “pick up” here means ________.
　　 A. to raise　　　 B. to get　　　　　C. to choose　　　D. to pull

( ) 60. The passage is mainly about ________.
　　 A. waves in the air　　　　　　　B. the way you hear your own voice
C. voice gets around far and wide　D. the different ways you and others hear your voice
C
Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters . This is because they have the colours much like the trees and grass.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), Its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
( ) 61. From the passage we learn that locusts________.
A. are small animals B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies D change their colours to protect themselves
( ) 62. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly. B. They have the colours much like their enemies.
C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night. D. They have to move quietly.
( ) 63.Bears and lions can keep safe because _________.
A. they have the colours much like the trees and grass B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colours D. they live in forests
( ) 64.Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A. Because it is very strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.
( ) 65.Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests
B. Colours of Different Animals and Pests
C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests
D. Some Animals and Pests

第II卷（非选择题，共55分）
II．阅读下面材料，完成相关任务，每空一词。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
“I have to live on because life is so beautiful.” These words of one of my patients
who suffers from（遭受） SARS continue to ring in my ears. This patient’s whole family has been infected(感染) with SARS--- her mother and brother have already died and her father is still seriously ill. I was deeply moved by her courage（勇气）and understood for the first time in my life the weight of my duty. I have to help others live on.
When I treated my first SARS patient on April 25, my only worry was that my knowledge in treating SARS patients was not enough. Many friends of mine keep asking why I’m not frightened. I think it takes no special courage to treat SARS. It is my duty to save other people’s lives and I was trained to do this. When you see a family suffering from SARS and seriously ill patients worrying about their dying relatives, the only thing you want to do is to try to help them.
I treat SARS patients as ordinary patients, never making them feel they are dangerous. I believe this mental support is important to those suffering from loneliness and hopeless. After a day’s work, when lying in bed at the hospital, the most beautiful sound I want to hear is my two-year-old son’s voice.
66. What do you think the writer does? I think the writer may be a __________.
67. 请将文中的划线部分译成中文。
