    Siena is an old city in the north of Italy．It began with a group of people living on its hills over 2，900 years ago．Around the year 1100，Siena became an important business center in Italy．In 1472，the first bank of the world was built in this city and has been doing business ever since．

    Today Siena is famous for keeping its"old face"．For example，its city walls，which helped keep the city safe in the past，are hundreds of years old now and look almost the same as before．Also，many old buildings are seen at the Piazza del Campo，the most important meeting place of the city．Few things have really changed in this center of public life for hundreds of years．Now people still go to the open space for sharing news，shopping，or playing sports．There is one more thing that helps keep Siena's old face：cars cannot enter the city most of the time．

True，Siena is old，but it's beautifully old．People are welcome to visit this beautiful city and walk into the past．

根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的涂（A），错的涂（B）．

51．The old city，Siena，began more than 2，900 years ago．　　

52．Siena is famous for having the first bank of the world today．　　

53．People in Siena have protected the old city walls very well．　　

54．Few old buildings can be found at the Piazza del Campo．　　

55．Most of the time cars are not allowed to enter Siena．　　．

   There were three big fish in the lake．One of them，Demo，was wise；another one，Jimmy，was half﹣wise；Martin，the third one，was stupid．

    Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets．The three fish saw them．

    Demo decided at once to leave，to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean．He thought，"I won't discuss with these two about this．They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on．How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now．Their ignorance will cost them their lives．"

    Seeing the wise fish had left，Jimmy thought，"My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape．"He felt sorry for it and then thought，"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets？Perhaps I should pretend （假装）to be already dead，giving myself totally to the water．"So he did that．He went up and down with the water，helpless，within arm's reach of the fishermen．

"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead．"One of the men lifted him by the tail，and threw him up on the ground．He rolled （滚动）over and over and moved secretly toward the water，and then，back in．

    The third fish was aimlessly jumping about，trying to escape with his speed and cleverness．The net，of course，finally closed around him，and as he lay in the hot frying﹣pan bed，he thought，"If I get out of this，I'll never live again in the limits of the lake．Next time，the ocean!I'll make it my home．"

56．The passage is a　　

A．diary  

B．story  

C．notice

57．The underlined word"ignorance"in the passage means"　　"in Chinese．

A．冲动    

B．勇气   

C．愚昧

58．Jimmy thought that he could escape from the fishermen by　　．

A．traveling to the ocean

B．pretending to be dead

C．jumping here and there

59．Who was caught by the fishermen at last？　　

A．Demo   

B．Jimmy．

C．Martin．

60．What can we learn from the passage？　　

A．It is important to make proper changes in time．

C．The stupid can also succeed with great efforts．

    What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves？Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner，or a car full of passengers who are reading，listening to music or even sleeping．But none of them are worried about the road ahead．

    Well，all of this could be the future of driving．There are several companies，including Google，working on driverless cars．So far，no Google self﹣driven car has gotten a traffic ticket，but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them．

These cars are now still in the testing stages．But，if the tests are successful，these electric self﹣driven cars could be put into use very soon．

The cars already have many features （特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations．Some features include cars being able to park themselves，or slow down when they notice objects close by．They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions．

    Scientists and engineers believe，with the help of wireless （无线电的）signals，cameras and GPS，we are now at a stage where creating a safe self﹣driven car might be possible．

    The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions．The self﹣driven car may be able to prevent these．However，some people do not like the idea．American lawyer Whit Drake，for example，doesn't believe these cars are safe．He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes．

61．The main purpose of the first paragraph is to　　．

A．make readers wonder about self﹣driven cars

B．get readers to pay attention to road safety

C．tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic

62．The testing self﹣driven cars need　　energy to run．

A．solar   

B．nuclear   

C．electric

63．From the passage，we know that the testing self﹣driven cars can already　　

A．avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads

B．control the speed in dangerous situations

C．turn around when getting near objects

64．What might make the self﹣driven cars run safely according to the passage？　　

a．e﹣reading

b．wireless signals  

c．cameras  

d．GPS

A．a，b，c  

B．a，b，d  

C．b，c，d

65．What is Whit Drake's attitude （态度）toward the safety of the self﹣driven cars？　　

A．He has doubt about it．

B．He believes it completely．

C．He doesn't care about it．

    I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia．（66）　　

    When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop．Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing （排队）to order．（67）　　Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me．I said that I would like to have a cup of tea．Then she asked me，"（68）　　"I thought she was making a morning joke with me．So I said，"Red tea，please．"With a very unfriendly face she asked me again，"Black or white tea，please？"（69）　　I didn't know what actually black or white tea was．I only knew that having tea is usually with or without sugar．

    One day I had a cup of tea at the university tea room．I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it．Then I asked her，"（70）　　"She smiled and said，"Yes，you can．"At that moment，I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk．How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!

I'm Jane，from America．I can not sleep well and I always wake up several times during the night．I know for a fact that there are many other people who have trouble going to sleep，too．So，I've collected some advice I've received over the past few months that have not only helped me get to sleep faster，but helped me get better night sleeps．

Have regular sleep habits

Go to bed at the same time every night．Try not to break this habit on weekends when you may be made to stay up late．Wake up at the same time every day．If you're getting enough sleep，you should wake up naturally without an alarm．

Turn off your computer

Don't play on the computer for half an hour before you decide to sleep．Studies show that it is bad for the quality of your sleep．Read a book or listen to some light music to prepare your body for sleeping．

Have a nice bedroom

A clean environment helps people to be happy and relaxed．Make sure that you have turned off all light that might come into your room，and that the temperature is comfortable．

Exercise often

Exercising will help you to fall asleep more easily，so walk out for 45 minutes every day and you will sleep better at night．But don't do it just before you go to bed﹣you won't be able to sleep!

Eat properly

Eat only a little for supper．A full stomach may make it much harder for you to sleep．

Do you have a dog，a cat or a bird at home？Do you watch them carefully？

    Sientists have found that cats，dogs，（92）　　 and even goldfish are left﹣handed or right﹣handed．These scientists work in Queen's Belfast University．They said that pets are left﹣handed or right﹣handed（93）　　people．As we all know，it is important for animals to be good at getting food．Some like to get food with their right hands，but some like to get food with the left hands．

    That's （94）　　the animals are left﹣handed or right﹣handed．
