A
Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and she chose to live alone far away from people. She lives in Belize ― a county the size of Wales with a population only that of Swansea. Her home is at Gales Point, a tiny village which can be reached only by sea or air; after a 10-mile walk into the hills one finally reaches a piece of land and two small houses so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there.
She lives happily and totally alone ? growing her
vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month
or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and letters-usually
including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from
friends in
At night she lies in her tiny sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in a corner of the bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough.
But recently the very things that she had tried to get
free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has
been destroyed by the noise of earth-moving machines not many miles away. What
she once only heard of distantly on the radio is now on her doorstep. Things
began to change three years ago. The new main north-south road in

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(潰爛的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing(強(qiáng)調(diào)) something - all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.
61. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______.
A. most painters do not express themselves well
B. a painter uses unusual words and phrases
C. a painter use shapes and colors instead of words
D. many painters do not say anything
62. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.
A. carries a message to the public B. only provides interesting patterns
C. has no pattern or form D. teaches the public important truths
63. The writer says that modern art contains______
A. nothing but meaningless patterns B .uninteresting aspects of the world
C. subjects chosen partly for their meaning D. completely meaningless subjects
64. Which of the following is implied(暗示) but NOT directly stated in the passage?
A. A painting is more easily understood than a song
B. Art is only the arranging of shapes and colors
C. Every artist tries to say something to the public
D. One must look beyond shapes and colors to find out what an artist is saying
C
Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions(爆炸), ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and become infected.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A. The man-made noises. B. The noises made by themselves.
C. The sound of earthquakes. D. The sound of the ice-breaking.

The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.
Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠儀式) at the lake.

It is not surprising to hear that more and more people are trying to lose weight by using weight-loss pills. It is becoming a very popular way to deal with weight because then all that people need to do is simply take the pill and carry on with their normal eating habits all the while losing weight.
As with the seemingly endless supply of weight-loss programs, there is a wide range of weight-loss pills that you can choose from and they go from prescription drugs(處方藥) to natural products that are supposed to have same effect but offer a safer choice.
Weight-loss pills can be highly effective when the appropriate drug is chosen for the patient and many people have quiet obvious results over a relatively short period of time once they have found a solution that has worked for them.
Still, you need to be aware that these natural weight-loss pills can have side effects and some serious reactions can be extremely dangerous to your health.
No matter what type of pills or products you are taking to lose weight, you really should discuss everything with your doctor first to ensure that your health won’t be in danger and in particular if you have any other health problems that need to be discussed.
With prescription drugs you are going to have to consult your doctor, so it would be a wise decision to talk about all the alternatives before deciding what the best for you is.
On the other hand there have been many people who have had obvious problems with weight-loss pills they have been using, whether it is prescription drugs or natural products. In some cases, these substances have no effect on the user.
It certainly isn’t worth endangering your life to lose weight as weight loss should actually be about improving you life.
