The light frm the campfire brightened the darkness, but it culd nt prevent the damp cld f Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping int their bnes. It was a strange place. Martin and Tm wished that they had nt accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but nt near this swamp.
“S,” Martin asked as they sat watching the ht cals. “Hw did this place get its name ? ”
“Are yu sure yu want t hear it ? It’s a scary stry,” warned Jack.
“Of curse!” cried ut Tm. “If there were anything t be scared f, yu wuldn’t have chsen this place!”
“Ok, but dn’t say I didn’t warn yu,” said Jack, and he began this tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried t start a farm here. He built that cttage ver there t live in . In thse days, the area lked quite different ---- it was cvered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crps. He was s prud f his success that he refused t listen t advice.
“ ‘Yu are clearing t much land, ’ warned ne ld man. ‘ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at yu if yu abuse it. ’
“ ‘ Silly fl,’ said Dennis t himself. ‘If I clear mre land, I can grw mre crps. I’ll becme wealthier. He’s just jealus!’”
“Dennis cntinued t chp dwn trees. Small animals that relied n them fr fd and shelter were destryed. He was s eager t expand his farm that he did nt ntice the river flwing slwly twards his dr. He did nt ntice salt seeping t the surface f the land. He did nt ntice swamp plants chking all the native plants.”
“What happened ? ” Martin asked. It was grwing clder. He trembled, twisting his bdy clser t the fire.
“The land hit back ---- just as the ld man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old flks arund here believe that swamp plants mved up frm the river and dragged him underwater. His bdy was never fund.”
“What a stupid stry, ” laughed Tm. “Plants can’t …” Befre he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The ther tw bys jumped up with fright, staring at Tm. Suddenly, they burst ut laughing. Sme green swamp ivy (常春藤) had cvered Tm’s face. It was a while befre Tm culd appreciate the jke.

When internatinal aid is given, steps must be taken t ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the peple fr whm it is intended. The way t achieve this may nt be simple. It is very difficult fr a natin t give help directly t peple in anther natin. The United Natins Organiztin(UNO) culd undertake t direct the distributin f aid. Here hwever rises the prblem f csts. Als tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO culd set up a bdy f devted men and wmen is every cuntry wh can speedily distribute aid t victims f flds and earthquakes.
Mre than the help that ne natin can give t anther during a disaster, it wuld be mre effective t give ther frms f help during nrmal times. A cmmn prverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat fr day, teach me t fish and I eat fr a lifetime.” If we fllw this wise saying, it wuld be right t teach peple frm less develped natins t take care f themselves. Fr example, a cuntry culd share its technlgy with anther. This culd be in simple areas like agriculture r in mre cmplex areas like medical and health care r even in building satellites. Even small cuntry is able t help less develped natins. Smetimes what is take fr granted, like the setting up f a water purificatin plant r the administratin f a schl, culd be useful fr cuntries which are lking abut t slve cmmn prblems. It des nt cst much t share such simple things. Exchange students culd be attached fr a number f mnths r years and learn the required craft while n the site. They can then take their knwledge back t their hmelands and if necessary cme back frm time t time t clear dubts r t update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is n chance f it being temprary r f it falling int the wrng hands.
Many cuntries run extensive curses in all srts f skills. It will nt cst much t include deserving freigners in these curses. Besides giving effective help t the cuntries cncerned, there is als the build-up f friendships t cnsider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the shrt run and must cntinue t be given in the event f emergencies. Hwever, in the lng run what is really effective wuld be the sharing f knwledge.
61.Accrding t the authr, hw culd internatinal aid reach the victims in time ?
A. By slving the cst prblems
B.By slving the transprtatin prblems
C. By setting up a bdy f devted peple in every cuntry.
D. By relying n the direct distributin f the UNO.
62.What des the authr try t express in the underlined sentence ?
A. Prviding fd is vitalB. Learning t fish is helpful
C. Teaching skills is essentialD. Lking after thers is imprtant.
63.The secnd paragraph is develped mainly _________.
A. by exampleB. by prcessC. by cmparisnD. by cntrast
64.Which aid is likely t fall int the wrng hands ?
A. A medical team.B. An exchange prgram.
C. A water plant.D. Financial supprt.
65.What can we infer abut internatinal aid frm the passage ?
A. It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during nrmal times
C. It shuld be given in the frm f materialsD. It has gained supprt develped cuntries
C
Many peple think that listening is a passive business. It is just the ppsite. Listening well is an active exercise f ur attentin and hard wrk. It is because they d nt realize this, r because they are nt willing t d the wrk, that mst peple d nt listen well.
Listening well als requires ttal cncentratin upn smene else. An essential part f listening well is the rule knwn as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temprary giving up r setting aside f yur wn prejudices and desires, t experience as far as pssible smene else’s wrld frm the inside, stepping int his r her shes. Mrever, since listening well invlves bracketing, it als invlves a temprary acceptance f the ther persn. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing t pen up the inner part f his r her mind t the listener. True cmmunicatin is under way and the energy required fr listening well is s great that it can be accmplished nly by the will t extend neself fr mutual grwth.
Mst f the time we lack this energy. Even thugh we may feel in ur business dealings r scial relatinships that we are listening well, what we are usually ding is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wnder, as we listen, hw we can achieve certain desired results t get the cnversatin ver as quickly as pssible r redirected in ways mre satisfactry t us. Many f us are far
mre interested in talking than in listening, r we simply refuse t listen t what we dn’t want t hear.
It wasn’t until tward the end f my dctr career that I have fund the knwledge that ne is being truly listened t is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In abut a quarter f the patients I saw, surprising imprvement was shwn during the first few mnths f psychtherapy(心理疗法), befre any f the rts f prblems had been uncvered r explained. There are several reasns fr this phenmenn, but chief amng them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he r she was being truly listened t, ften fr the first time in years, and fr sme, perhaps fr the first time ever.
66.The phrase “stepping int his r her shes” in paragraph 2 prbably means _______.
A. preparing a tpic list firstB. fcusing n ne’s wn mind
C. directing the talk t the desired resultsD. experiencing the speaker’s inside wrld
67.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?
A. Hw t listen well.B. What t listen t.
C. Benefits f listening.D. Prblems in listening
68.Accrding t the authr , in cmmunicatin peple tend t ________.
A. listen activelyB. listen purpsefully
C. set aside their prejudicesD. pen up their inner mind
69.Accrding t the authr , the patients imprved mainly because _______.
A. they were taken gd care f.B. they knew they were truly listened t.
C. they had partners t talk t.D. they knew the rts f prblems.
70.What type f writing the article likely t be ?
A. Science fictinB. A news reprt.C. A medical reprt.D. Ppular science
D
One might expect that the ever-grwing demands f the turist trade wuld bring nthing but. gd fr the cuntries that receive the hliday-makers. Indeed, a rsy picture is painted fr the lng-term future f the hliday industry. Every mnth sees the building f a new htel smewhere, and every mnth anther rck-bund Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) n earth'.
Hwever, the scale and speed f this grwth seem set t destry the very things turists want t enjy. In thse cuntries where there was a rush t make quick mney ut f sea-side hlidays, ver-crwded beaches and the cncrete jungles f endless htels have begun t lse their appeal.
Thse cuntries with little experience f turism can suffer mst. In recent years, Nepal set ut t attract freign visitrs t fund develpments in health and educatin. Its frests , full f wildlife and rare flwers, were ffered t turists as ne mre untuched paradise. In fact, the nature all t sn felt the effects f thusands f hliday-makers traveling thrugh the frest land. Ancient tacks became majr rutes fr the walkers, with the cnsequent explitatin f precius trees and plants.
Nt nly the envirnment f a cuntry can suffer frm the sudden grwth f turism. The peple as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way fr htels, rads and airprts; the ld way f life ges. The ne-time farmer is nw the servant f sme multi-natinal rganizatin; he is n lnger his wn master. Once it was his back that bre the pain ; nw it is his smile that is explited. N dubt he wnders whether he wasn't happier in his village wrking his wn land.
Thankfully, the turist industry is waking up t the respnsibilities it has twards thse cuntries that receive its custmers. The prtectin f wildlife and the creatin f natinal parks g hand in hand with turist develpment and in fact btain financial supprt frm turist cmpanies. At the same time, turists are being encuraged t respect nt nly the cuntryside they visit but als its peple.
The way turism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that f the cuntries we all want t visit. Their needs and prblems are mre imprtant than thse f the turist cmpanies. Increased understanding in planning wrld-wide turism can preserve the market fr these cmpanies. If nt, in a few years’ time the very things that attract turists nw may well have been destryed.
71.What des the authr indicate in the last sentence f Paragraph 1 ?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is wrth visiting.
C. The advertisement is nt cnvincing.D. The advertisement is nt impressive
72.The example f Nepal is used t suggest _________ .
A. its natural resurces are untuched.B. its frests are explited fr farmland
C. it develps well in health and educatin.D. it suffers frm the heavy flw f turists.
73.What can we learn abut the farmers frm Paragraph 4 ?
A. They are happy t wrk their wn lands.
B. They have t please the turists fr a living.
C. They have t struggle fr their independence.
D. They are prud f wrking in multi-natinal rganizatins.
74.Which f the fllwing determines the future f turism ?
A. The number f turistsB. The imprvement f services.
C. The prmtin f new prducts.D. The management f turism
75.The authr’s attitude twards the develpment f the turist industry is __________.
A. ptimisticB. dubtfulC. bjectiveD. negative
