Later that day, the police went into the forest and found the boy. He was about 5, but he could
23、not answer the policemen“s questions. In fact, he could not speak at all. He moved like a monkey and was difficult to control. But Mr. Green, the head of a school for children with special needs, agreed to take the boy to his school. He named the boy Saturday. b. Saturday is now about 20. At first,
24、many language experts were interested in him. Is it possible, they wanted to know, for a child like this to learn a language? Sadly, it seems the answer for Saturday is no. The experts say he will probably never learn to communicate. And so he continues his lonely life. Does he want to return to the
25、 monkeys? c. One Saturday morning fifteen years ago, some farm workers in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, were working in a field next to a forest. A group of monkeys was playing in the grass between the field and the trees. The farm workers saw that one of the animals was different from the others. Wh

Edinburgh is the official capital of Scotland, and ma
28、ny visitors to the east coast go there to see the beautiful buildings. Other visitors go to play golf at St. Andrews, 20 km to the north. Visitors usually go to the west for the beautiful countryside. There are mountains (Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain), hills, forests and rivers. And, o
29、f course, the lochs (the Scottish word for lakes). The lochs begin about 30km north of Glasgow with Loch Lomond. This loch is bigger than any other in Scotland, but it is not as famous as Loch Ness, which is near the port of Inverness. Loch Ness is huge: 36 km long and 230 m deep. It is famous becau
30、se many people believe that a monster lives in it. People first wrote about the monster in AD 565, but modem reports began in 1933, when workers were building a big road next to the loch, and used dynamite. A lot of people saw the monster that year. Perhaps it swam to the surface to see why there wa
31、s so much noise! In 1957, someone began “The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau“, and many people from all over the world have taken photographs of things in the water which they say are the monster. When you see Loch Ness, it is easy to believe in the monster-the water is dark and silent, and there are
32、n“t any flowers or plants on the banks. People say that the monster is ten metres long -or bigger-and has a long neck. Many people believe that the monster is a swimming dinosaur (恐龙) which came into the loch millions of years ago and lives on the bottom of the loch eating the fish which live there.
33、 Others believe that the story is only a myth to bring tourists to this beautiful part of the world.

It stared Miki Manojlovic, Lazar Ristovski and Mirjana Jokovic. The soundtrack was written by Goran Bregovic and it“s the most powerful o
36、ne I have ever heard. 69. 3 The film is mainly about friendship, love, politics and war. It“s set mostly in Belgrade between 1941 and the 1990s. Marko (Manojlovic) and Blacky (Ristovski) are two friends in love with Natalija (Jokovic). When Belgrade is bombed, Marko and Blacky have a plan: Blacky wi

For fifty years, Blacky and others continue to live underground They live in a “false“ world. But in the end, they discover that it“s a lot safer th

It“s entertaining because it“s interesting, funny and sad at the same time.（分数：8.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_十三、Section E(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Oxford Street, in England “s capital city, is not
39、known for cultural events. But for ten days in early 2001, it was the address for a fascinating art “performance“: Michael Landy“s Break Down. Inside an old department store, the 37-year old artist destroyed every one of his 7,006 personal possessions. The Break Down took Landy three years to plan.
40、His socks, his fridge, his passport-everything he owned was numbered and labeled. The details were entered into a computer. Then a huge industrial machine for breaking things was moved into the empty C and others might say that friendship is a process of sharing, earing, and communicating. You know,
41、 in the eye of some men of letters, friendship is an interpersonal relationship combining together trust, support, communication, loyalty, and understanding. We can also find similar definitions in some dictionaries. (92) But in our daily life, a written description does not seem to be necessary . T
42、he reason why we choose some people to make friends with may be quite simple. Perhaps we share common interests, support and love each other. Or perhaps there is no reason at all. We just have fun together. Do you remember your childhood? We did not know the exact meaning of friendship, but we made
43、lots of friends. Making friends is something that we will do all our lives. To many people, friendship comes naturally and easily wherever they go, but some people go through life with only a few friends. To many students, school is an excellent place to make friends, because students spend most of
44、their time in class or participating in various community activities (like different clubs), and extracurricular activities (like sports). These are good places to meet people and to make friends. Nowadays, some people are making friends through the Internet. While this can be an easy place to chat
45、with people, it is not always a safe place to meet people for friendship, as there is probably no way of knowing whom you are chatting with when you are online. (93) Therefore, you are not to give out your personal information, such as your address, your phone number, or the name of your school. Bes
46、ides, we should keep it in mind that friendship does not always come overnight. It may take time. Once a friendship is established, we should cherish it. We need to think about how to keep it and how to strengthen it. (94) Even if a friendship is strong, it is still important to work on it once in a
47、 while. In order to keep friendship, we should keep in touch with each other. We should give our friends honest and sincere appreciation from time to time and we should respect their space. We should learn to accept differences, learn how to avoid conflict and when a conflict emerges, we should find
48、 a resolution instead of criticizing, condemning or complaining. (95) And to win friends we should be thoughtful, that is, always try to put ourselves in another person“s shoes. Try not to hurt anybody. When we do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all. Likewise, if we think what we do will hurt somebody, do not do it. In this way, we can avoid hurting others“feelings and we can avoid ruining a good relationship.（分数：5.00）_
