30、he following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (A)Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not o
31、nly planting new kinds of crops, but some _55_ ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me _56_! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have _57_ to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on m
32、y way to the sea for a holiday, ” one punter (赛马经纪人) told me , “and I thought Id have a look. I didnt believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the f
33、orm of the horse _58_, and there are clear favourites. _59_ nobody has heard anything about these _60_! Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case. ” I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite _61_. In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down
34、hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the _62_ just to give them some encouragement, I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast, _63_ they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at th
35、e races, _64_ by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.55. A. common B. strange C. swift D. illegal56. A. honestly B. surprisingly C. completely D. correctly57. A. showed off B. brought up C. turned up D. looked forward58. A. behind time B. in progress C. in advance D. in time59. A. But B. T
36、herefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise60. A. horses B. sheep C. races D. stories9 / 1861. A. exciting B. dangerous C. boring D. peculiar62. A. race B. hill C. track D. field63. A. if B. so C. yet D. although64. A. observing B. judging C. considering D. inferring(B)The British love to think of themselves
37、as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank you”, Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires _65_ seven or eight of these. Another _66_ of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather
38、than football was the _67_ national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours? I think not.Take forms of address (称呼) for example. The average English person _68_ he
39、happens to work in a hotel or department store would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam”. Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our _69_ “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to expr
40、ess _70_. I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou” (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you”); “you” would be _71_ for strangers and professional relationships.And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how th
41、e British _72_ ever touch? Personally. I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is _73_. you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now
42、 what could be _74_ than that?65. A. at least B. at most C. less than D. not more than66. A. signal B. scene C. sign D. sight67. A. true B. original C. superior D. advanced68. A. if B. whether C. when D. unless69. A. universal B. unique C. regular D. normal70. A. politeness B. gratitude C. democracy
43、 D. consideration71. A. ordered B. reserved C. offered D. stocked10 / 1872. A. highly B. mostly C. hardly D. nearly73. A. confirmed B. assured C. jammed D. blocked74. A. better B. ruder C. more polite D. more frighteningV. Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is

45、g web page.Q: My husband and I would like to spend five or six days in the Maldives. Could you suggest some low-priced hotels? Well be there in November. Jan Davies, email.A: Prices in the Maldives are high. The cheaper hotels (and there arent many) mightnt be much to look at, with unpleasant rooms,
46、 iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy, free island feel.Angaga (South Ari Atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), Asdu Sun Island (North Male Atoll, email .mv) are both a bit like this.Youll be there in
47、the low season (May to November), when its still warm, but theres a greater likelihood of rain, so you should be able to get a double (standard) room with full board (three meals a day) for $100 a night.However, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxu

We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we cant find anything cheaper than $150 a night. John Maloney, email.A: For Australians traveling Europe, especially its capital cities, is expensive. You may have to increase your budget (预算). However, if you cant afford these costs, th
