20．Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks．Sometimes，the big animals harm or even kill villagers．（36）ASo，the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away：vuvuzelas，which became very popular in the South Africa World Cup．They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events to cheer for their teams．
（37）CWhen the elephants hear the unpleasant sound，they leave，and no one is harmed．
An official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants．That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack．So far，no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela．
（38）GThey have built beehives-houses for flying insects that sting（叮咬）．They have hung ropes covered in spicy （辛辣的） oil．They have dug long，deep holes．And they have used guns，called A-K47s．（39）D But over time，the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun．They only look at the shooter and wave their ears．
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority，Gessa Simblicious，says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda．And one day，elephants may get used to the vuvuzela noise，just as they do the sound of the A-K47．（40）F
  A．They are a real danger to people．
  B．The big animals are friendly to the local people．
  C．The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like．
  D．People shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant away．
  E．The elephants are cruelly killed in large numbers in Africa．
  F．But right now，vuvuzelas are an effective way to deal with a serious problem．
  G．Villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses．

10．（36）E
Ray Charles，a black singer and pianist，was born in 1930in Georgia，USA．His relaxed style mixed jazz，blues，pop and a type of black music called soul，which comes from the traditional music sung by slaves in the south of the USA．By the time Ray Charles died in 2004，he had won 12Grammy Awards and performed at 10，000concerts around the world．Many musicians called him simply"the Genius"．
（37）D
Ray Charles was born into a poor family，without a father．When he was five years old，his younger brother died； and around the same time，Charles started to lose his sight．By the age of 7he was completely blind．He had already been learning the piano for a year，and when he went blind，his mother knew this would be the only way he would earn any money in the future．All his life，Charles remembered her saying："Do it right，or don't do it at all．"
（38）F
Later he went to a school for blind and deaf children where the teachers also encouraged him to study music．Sadly，while he was still at school，his mother died．He left school and in the early 1950s Charles formed a group of players．He sang，played the saxophone and the piano and composed music．
（39）A
He made many recordings which are still classics：Georgia on My Mind，I Can't Stop Loving You，and Hit the Road，Jack are the three best-known songs．He recorded CDs with famous artists like Elton John．Others，such as The Beatles，thought his music was wonderful and said that the music they composed used many of his techniques．
（40）C
In 2003a film biography of his life was produced，called Ray．The part of Charles was played by a young actor and musician called Jamie Foxx．The film director brought Foxx to meet Charles．After they had been playing together for two hours，Charles，then aged 73，jumped up and said："He's the one…h(huán)e can do it．"A year later Charles died aged 74．The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charles's music will live on．

A．Three classic tunes
B．The music of Ray Charles
C．The film of his life
D．Childhood poverty

11．Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a rol e in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．
Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（難為情） when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．
Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．
Don't forget the clock-or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes．And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turning on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．
Downsize the dishes．Big serving bowls and plants can easily make us fat．We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（攝入） jumps by 14 percent．And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．
21．The text can help those who care aboutB．
A．their home                     B．their body shape
C．house buying                   D．healthy diets
22．A home environment in blue can help peopleA．
A．feel less hungry                 B．feel more hungry
C．burn less calories                D．burn more calories
23．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？C
A．Eat quickly                     B．Play fast music
C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights
24．What can be a suitable title for the test？A
A．Is Your Hours Making You Fat？
B．Ways of Losing Weight
C．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？
D．Effects of Healthy Diet
25．The passage is probably taken from an EnglishD？

15．It's puzzling，isn't it？No matter where you try to tickle  （使人發(fā)癢）  yourself，even on the soles  （腳底）  of your feet or under your arms，you just can't．
To understand why，you need to know more about how your brain works．One of its main tasks is to try to make good guesses about what's going to happen next．While you're busy getting on with your life，walking downstairs or eating your breakfast，parts of your brain are always trying to predict the future．
Remember when you first learned how to ride a bicycle？At first，it took a lot of concentration to keep the handlebars steady and push the pedals （踏板）．But after a while，cycling became easy．Now you're not aware of the movements you make to keep the bike going．From experience，your brain knows exactly what to expect，so your body rides the bike automatically．Your brain is predicting all the movements you need to make．
You only have to think consciously about cycling if something changes---like if there's a strong wind or you get a flat tyre．When something unexpected happens like this，your brain is forced to change its predictions about what will happen next．If it does its job well，you'll adjust to the strong wind，leaning your body so you don't fall．
Why is it so important for our brains to predict what will happen next？It helps us make fewer mistakes and can even save our lives．For example，when a chief fireman sees a fire，he immediately makes decisions about how best to position his men．His past experiences help him foresee what might happen and choose the best plan for fighting the fire．His brain can instantly predict how different plans would work out，and he can rule out any bad or dangerous plans without putting his men at risk in real life．
So how does all this answer your question about tickling，kids？Because your brain is  always predicting your own actions，and how your body will feel，as a result，you cannot tickle yourself．Other people can tickle you because they can surprise you．You can't predict what their tickling actions will be．

32．We can infer from Paragraph 4thatC．
A．it's nothing serious to get a flat tyre．
B．weather changes can be predicted by brain．
C．prediction can be changeable and adaptable．
D．it's dangerous to cycle in the strong wind．
33．The phrase"rule out"in Paragraph 5probably means"D"．
A．make rules of
B．think about
C．carry on 
D．get rid of
34．What is the best title for this passage？B
A．The Secret of Cycling．
B．Why Can't I Tickle Myself？
C．How Does the Brain work？
D．The Importance of Prediction
35．The passage is probably taken fromA．
A．a(chǎn) science book for children
B．a(chǎn) guidebook for passengers
C．a(chǎn) scientific report for experts
D．a(chǎn) research paper for doctors．

12．The end of my sophomore（大學(xué)二年級） year was approaching．Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May．My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa，helping out around their farm．The arrangement made good sense to all the family．I wasn't fully convinced of that myself but guessed it was just one summer．Next year would be my little brother's turn．
I arrived late that afternoon．Grandma had fixed more food than the three of us could possibly eat．She loved me entirely too much．The next morning，Grandpa fixed breakfast for the two of us．He told me Grandma had tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed a little longer．I made a mental note to myself to not ask her to do things for me while I was there．I was there to help，not be a burden．
Weeks passed．I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with Grandpa．In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma．She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in．She told me stories about her childhood，family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married．
The last Saturday in June，Grandpa suggested going fishing．We hadn't expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning：One of the swans（天鵝） was dead．Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary．"Why don't we see about buying another one，"I suggested，hoping the situation could somehow be righted．Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering．
He finally said，"no …it's not that easy，Bruce．You see，swans mate for life．"He raised his finger to point，holding the fishing pole in his other hand．"There's nothing we can do for the one that's left．He has to work it out for himself．"
A few days later，we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows．We found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one．It，too，was dead．
The month of July started with me and Grandpa putting up a new stretch of fence．Then July 12 came．That was the day Grandma passed away．Grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke．（中風(fēng)） By the afternoon，my parents were there．The old house was soon crowded with relatives and Grandpa's friends．
The funeral（葬禮） was held the ne xt day．Grandpa had insisted on having it as soon as possible．On the second day after the funeral，Grandpa announced at the breakfast table，"This is a working farm．We have a lot of things to do．The rest of you should get back to your own lives．"Most of the family had already left，but this was Grandpa's way of telling the rest it was time for them to go home．My parents were the last to leave after lunch．
Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief（悲痛）around others，and we all worried about him．The rest of the summer flowed by．We stayed busy working．I thought there was something different about Grandpa but couldn't quite put my finger on it．
September was nearing，and part of me did not want to leave．I thought of skipping the fall semester and staying around a few more months．When I mentioned it，grandpa quickly told me that my place was back at college．
The day finally came for me to pack my car and leave．I shook his hand and chanced a hug．As I drove down the driveway，I saw him in the rearview mirror of my car．He waved to me and then walked to the farm gate to start the morning livestock check．
Mom called me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died．A neighbor had stopped by that morning for coffee and found him in the kitchen．He died of a stroke，the same as Grandma．At that moment，I understood what he'd clumsily tried to explain to me about the swan on that morning we fished together by the pond．
66．We can learn from Paragraph 1 thatA．
A．Bruce was not happy with his parents'arrangement
B．Bruce is eager to enjoy himself freely on the farm
C．Bruce regarded working on the farm as a rare chance
D．the brothers took turns to attend their grandparents

A．Grandma would be in deep sorrow over its death．
B．The living can do nothing for the dead．
C．The other was certain to die since swans mate for life．
D．Another swan should be bought in place of the dead one．
68．Grandpa quickly ignored the family after the funeral becauseA．
A．he tended to deal with grief in life b y himself
B．he made the assumption about the matter of life and death
C．he wanted to carry on with his farm work
D．he didn't want his normal life disturbed

A．I was so busy that I couldn't give a hand to Grandpa
B．I couldn't tell exactly what was different about my Grandpa
C．I stayed busy working and couldn't keep Grandpa's company
D．I could do nothing to help him out of grief
