Sir，
Just over six months ago，I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company，Cosmo books Ltd．，offered this set （eight books of plays and two books of poetry） at what was claimed to be a‘remarkable'price：fifteen pounds and fifty pence，including postage and packing．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time，and these books，in red imitation leather，looked particularly attractive； so I sent for them．
Two weeks later，the books arrived，together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you，with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare，the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere，in French．Since I do not read French，these were of no use to me at all．However，I could not afford to post all these books back to you，so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year，instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want，and asking you not to send any other books until further notice．
You did not reply to that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds，and a set of the plays of Schiller，in German．Since then，a new set of books has arrived every two weeks，the works of Goethe，the poems of Milton，the plays of Strindberg； I hardly know what I have．The books are still all in their boxes，in the garage，and my car has to stand in the rain outside．
I have no room for any more books，and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment，I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me．
Please send no more books，send no more bills，send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away，leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid．
Yours faithfully，
SIMON WALKER

分析 這篇文章是一封投訴信，作者訂了一套莎士比亞的作品集，但是送來的還有其他不需要的書，給作者帶來很多困擾．

29．B考查推理判斷．從第二段的句子：So I returned the Dickens books to you，with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．可知作者對沒有預(yù)定的書采取過措施．選A
30．C寫作態(tài)度題：這篇文章是一封投訴信，作者訂了一套莎士比亞的作品集，但是送來的還有其他不需要的書，給作者帶來很多困擾，字里行間看出作者是很生氣的．選C

1．Washington：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95kilometres thick，which is about 10times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150kilometres of ice．
While scientists have speculated（推測） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished．In its 25years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

28．What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passageB？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
29．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards HubbleD？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
30．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 meanC？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europe．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean ion Europe．
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe．
31．What type of writing does this passage belong toB？
A．A term essay                           
B．A news report
C．An experiment report               
D．An exploration review．

8．I learned about life from an ant farm．When I was seven years old，my family tried to （36）A an ant farm at home．First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box，and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the （37）B home．

Although much time has passed，I still think of that ant farm．Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world，（47）B it taught me much more． （48）D the years，I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of （49）A．Working together，they were able to create a（n） （50）D world for themselves．I also learned that they should be （51）C for their hard work．Day in and day out，each labored at their task．The ant farm demonstrated that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key （52）C to success．But there was an even larger lesson that I did not （53）B until recently：Disaster is a natural part of life，and must be （54）A．Unlike the ants，humans cannot give up when they face （55）D．Unlike the ants，we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in，we just have to build another．

2．Not long ago the movie 2012came into screen．The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood，severe earthquake，terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster．Luckily，they are just the director's imagination，but the present situation is not heading a positive direction，either．
Take my own experience in Alaska as an example．Once I took a trip to the glacier．Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years．They started from the foot of the mountain，but it was at the top that I finally saw melting glaciers（融化的冰川）．My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second．
Sad but true，they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact．Furthermore，each year the rising sea level will kill 56million people，and that's about the population of the entire Italy．According to studies，if the temperature keeps on rising like this，by the year 2050，some islands and coastal cities including New York，Shanghai，Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water．
Our fortune is in our own hands．It depends on us to shape our future，to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment．Therefore，it's time for actions to be taken right now．Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water．Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away．Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place．It might cost more time for now，but it's to the benefit of a permanent future．Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them．
In a word，small drops of water make a big ocean． The earth does not belong to us．On the contrary，we belong to the earth． Please bear in mind that the earth is our home．It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012from becoming reality．

56．Why does the author talk about the movie 2012in the passage？B．
A．To give example．      B．To lead into the topic．
C．To make prediction．   D．To provide the evidence．
57． How did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier？A．
A． Worried．    B． Puzzled．     C． Scared．     D．Bored．
58．It can be inferred from the third paragraph thatC．．
A.56million people in Italy have been killed owing to the rising sea level
B．Some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050
C．Human beings will be in danger if we don't take actions to prevent the global warming
D．It is certain that what happened in the movie 2012will come into reality
59． According to the passage，you are advised toD．．
A．drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some place
B．recycle everything that is used
C．go to see the movie 2012at once
D．work together to take good care of our planet
60．What does the author mean by saying"small drops of water make a big ocean"？C．
A．Think twice before taking action，
B．It's our duty to protect the ocean．
C．Everyone together can make a difference．
D．It's important to save every drop of water．
