It desn’t make any difference hw lng yur speech is. Unless yu tune(调准) in yur audience in the first 60 secnds, the chances are they will tune yu ut.

“The Lrd f the Rings”, ne f the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up f three parts—“The Fellwship f the Ring”, “Tw Twers”, and “The Return f the King”. Millins upn millins f peple have read it in ver 25 different languages, but fewer knw abut the authr and the histry f the cmpsitin f the creative masterwrk.
Jhn Rnald Reuel Tlkien was brn in Suth Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tlkien and his cusins made up play languages, a hbby that led t tlkien’s becming skilled in welsh, Greek, Gthic, Old Nrse and Angl Saxn.
After graduating frm Oxfrd, Tlkien served in Wrld War I. In 1917, while recvering frm trench fever, he began cmpsing the mythlgy fr The Rings. As a prfessr f Angl Saxn in 1930s at Oxfrd, Tlkien was part f an infrmal discussin grup called the Inklings, which included several writers. The grup was sn listening t chapters f Tlkien’s imaginative wrk “The Hbbit”.
Hbbit was a name Tlkien created fr a lcal peple that culd best be described as half—sized members f the English rural(乡村的) class. Hbbits live in hillside hles. One f them, Bilb Baggins, lks fr treasures with a grup f dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gllum, frm whm he sees a glden ring that makes the hlder invisible.
One f Tlkien’s students persuaded her emplyer, publisher Allen & Unwin, t lk at a draft(草稿). The chairman f the firm, Stanley Unwin, thught that the best judge fr a children’s bk wuld be his ten-year-ld sn. The by earned a shilling fr reprting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hbbit” was published in 1937.
It sld s well that Unwin asked fr a cntinuatin. Over a dzen years later, in 1954, Tlkien prduced “The Lrd f the Rings”, a series f bks s creative that they hld readers-new and ld-after their publicatin.
60. What can we learn frm the text?

C. Tlkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D. Tlkien knew very well abut different kinds f lcal languages in Africa.

He has lived thrugh varius dangers but time may be running ut fr the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
On September 11, Israel annunced its decisin t remve him, fllwing several Palestinian suicide bmb attack n Israel. “he shuld be punished fr the killings,” and Israeli fficial said, “He has dne nthing t stp the terrrist grups.”
But the decisin has angered many ther cuntries. China said that Arafat is the true leader, elected by the Palestinian peple, and remving him wuld harm the peace in the Middle East. This idea is shared by ther gvernments.
Arafat himself said, “They can kill me, but never get me ut f my cuntry.” He has spent mst f his life in danger as the mst imprtant aim f Israel. But, just like a cat with nine lives. Arafat escaped every time.
Fr years he has made a practice f sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a mving persn is harder t hit. In 1985. Israel sent fighter planes t kill Arafat. The wild bmbing destryed his ffice in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt. In 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying ver nrth Africa brke in tw during a crash landing. The pilt was killed but he managed t remain alive.
What is s unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger.
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his ffice building in Ramallah in December, 2001. When they saw the attackers cming, Arafat’s bdyguards ignred his rder t stay still and carried him t safety undergrund. Secnds later, several bmbs were drpped nearby. Thugh safe, his bdyguards were s frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks nly 200 meters away, shwed n fear at all. He stayed in the damaged ffice, talking by phne with freign leaders in hpe f preventing further attacks frm Israel.
All these experiences have made him a belved leader t his peple and an enemy t sme thers.
But has he used up the last f his nine lives? Only time will tell.
65. Which f the fllwing statements cannt be used t describe Arafat?
A. He went t visit a few freign cuntries last year.
B. He is nt afraid f death in face f his enemy.
C. His ffice used t be in ruins.
D. He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
66. Accrding t the passage, which statement is true?
A. In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed and brke in tw in suth Africa.
B. Israeli fficers thught Arafat himself sent the terrrist grups t Israel.
C. China is the nly cuntry against Israel’s decisin f getting rid f Arafat.
D. Being Palestinian leader, Arafat wuld rather die in his wn cuntry than be driven away
frm his peple.
67.What did the authr mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked abut Arafat?
A. Arafat can never die just like a cat.
B. Arafat can live as lng as a cat.
C. Arafat can stay alive after accidents r disasters as if he has nine lives.
D. Arafat shuld have died fr at least 8 times.
68. What’s the writer’s attitude twards Arafat’s future, judging frm the last sentence f the passage?
A. Hpeful. B. Interesting. C. Satisfactry. D. Dubtful.

Have yu ever nticed, when lking at a map f the wrld, that the east cast f Suth America and the west cast f Africa lk as thugh they might fit tgether? If yu have, yu are nt alne. In 1965 the English scientist Sir Edward Bullard used a cmputer t test the fit f the tw cntinents and fund that at an cean depth f 2000 meters the match was very clse indeed.
It seems t remarkable t be pssible, but there is a lt f evidence t suggest that Africa was nce jined t Suth America. Fr example, there is a belt f ancient rcks alng the east f Brazil which crrespnds with the rcks acrss the Suth Atlantic in West Africa.
There is further evidence that existing land masses were nce linked. The remains f a 400—t—500—millin—year—ld muntain chain has been fund running dwn the eastern part f Greenland, western Scandinavia, and thrugh nrth--west Sctland and Ireland, int western Canada, eventually finding their way t nrth--west Africa.
Then there is the evidence frm life itself. In varius parts f the wrld tday the same animals and plants can be fund n land masses separated by, in sme cases, thusands f miles f ceans. Did they evlve(进化) at the same time in tw different places? It seems unlikely. Bilgists believe that there must have been land bridges which have nw sunk beneath the sea. Als fssils fund in sedimentary rcks (fssils are the preserved remains f life frms) have allwed gelgists t trace the same plants frm Suth America, and Antarctica in rcks perhaps 300 millin years ld.
The ice that is nw cnfined t the plar regins has always been s limited in extent. Indeed, during a perid f the Earth’s histry knwn as the permcarbniferus(二叠石灰纪) age abut 250—350 millin years ag there is evidence frm the that there were glaciers cvering Suth America, parts f Africa, and India Australia. On the ther hand, in the nrthern hemisphere(北半球) there were deserts. If the cntinents were distributed(分布) as they are tday, it is hard t understand hw this culd be.
S there is cnsiderable evidence t shw whle cntinents mved apart, and naturally many peple have tried t discver hw and why whle land masses mved.
72. Accrding t the authr’s pinin, Africa and Sugh America didn’t mve apart until ____.
A. 500 millin years ag B. 350 millin years ag
C. 200 millin years ag D. 300 millin years ag
73. The sentence “…eventually finding their way t nrth—west Africa” means _____.
A. We can find a way frm the eastern part f Greenland t nrth—west Africa.
B. We can als find these remains in nrth—west Africa.
C. The muntain chain ges frm the eastern part f Greenland t nrth—west Africa.
D. It is a lng way frm the eastern part f Greenland t nrth—west Africa.
74. The best title fr this passage wuld be ______.
A. The Evidence f the Cntinental Drift
B. The Mvement f the Tw Cntinents
C. The Cntinental Drift
D. The Histry f the Earth.
75. Which f the fllwing is NOT true accrding t the passage?
A. We can find the same animals and plants n the tw cntinents.
B. We can find the same remains f a 400—t—500—millin—year—ld muntain chain.
C. There are deserts in the nrthern hemisphere.
D. The same animals and plants evlved at the same time in tw different places.
