Many people often recall the lazy days of their youth. While playing in the countryside they would raise their heads to the 46 blue sky. It was easy then to imagine that the clouds looked like many different things 47 cotton, ice cream, and animals like cows and dogs.
But as 48 , these people look up to see that the clouds are as ever-changing as life. Adults no longer 49 of clouds as lively. Clouds, seemingly covering the golden light of 50 , appear to be full of vitality. The colours at dusk look like a beautiful painting. The rapid 51 of clouds in the sky when it is about to rain gives us the 52 of gods fighting in the sky.
Ancient poets and scholars were more sensitive to these changes than 53 man. In today’s stress-ridden, cement filled world, if we do look up at the sky, we seem to be in a tunnel and only see a small part of the 54 .
There is a song, “Abandon (抛开) your worries, forget your unhappiness, and walk outside with me and let us watch the clouds.” This is to say if modern man leaves his busy life 55 and goes out to watch the clouds, he may be able to recapture the days of his youth.

Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read
(A)
Benge is not an average pet owner. He loves dogs, and that in itself is not uncommon. One or two dogs would make good pets, but Benge has 25 of them. To make matters worse, when the moon is full, we can hear Benge’s dogs barking from one end of town to the other.
A few years ago when the town people first began to notice the regularity of the barking, they thought they should investigate the cause of all the noise. However, finding out what Benge was doing became a real puzzle. Benge refused to talk to anyone in town. No one had spoken to him in years. The last salesman to visit his house had left with 15 dogs pursuing behind. Jackson , our popular mayor, suggested sending Benge a survey asking for information about his pets. Everyone quickly reminded Jackson that Benge never answered his mail.
Finally, the town people appointed a committee to investigate the problem. The committee decided that the chairperson, Priscilla, should see for herself what Benge was doing to his dogs.
The next time the moon was full, Priscilla tiptoed to Benge’s house. The barking became a deafening roar as she drew closer. Along the wooden fence (栅栏), she finally found a hole and looked in. There in the moonlight stood Benge, directing his dogs like an orchestra. "What beautiful voices you have!” shouted Benge. "There’s no finer music in the world than dogs singing to a full moon.” Covering her ears, Priscilla breathed a sigh of relief as she went down the hill — although she wasn’t sure anyone would believe what she had seen.

(B)
As more and more plastic is recycled, scientists and manufacturers are working to develop new products made from recycled plastic. But what do you do with the mountain of carpeting — 2.5 million tons of home and commercial carpets — that ends up in US landfills (垃圾填埋场) each year?
Already, a handful of manufacturers are remanufacturing old carpet — changing it into new carpet or turning it into car parts and plastic wood. The process reuses the plastic resins (树脂) found in much modern synthetic carpeting. Besides unburdening landfills, remanufacturing holds possibility for dramatic cuts in producing greenhouse gas.
Currently, only about 4 percent of used carpeting is being recycled; another 1 or 2 percent is cleaned and reused as carpeting. But thanks to a new program, there is hope that as much as 40 percent of old carpeting will be recycled or reused within ten years. The new programme, called the National Carpet Recycling Agreement, is an effort designed to cultivate manufacturer responsibility throughout a product’s life cycle. It’s called product stewardship（管理）.
The purpose of the agreement, says Sherry Enzler, who worked more than two years to help draft out the agreement, is to establish an association that can recover large quantities of the carpet rolled from America’s floors over the next ten years. Finally, if the agreement is renewed, the goal could be a 90 percent recovery rate, assuming national participation. The survey indicated that 5 percent of the garbage entering Minnesota’s landfills is carpeting.
Carpet manufacturers are central to this recovery effort. They have formed an independent group, the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE), to draft an action plan and monitor progress in carpet recovery. “We need to start looking at waste as a resource,” Enzler says.
Major carpet manufacturers, the Environmental Protection Agency, and eight states have signed the agreement. Other states are expected to come on board over time.
60. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. the recycling of plastic products
B. the National Carpet Recycling Agreement
C. the association of carpet manufacturers
D. the recycling of used carpeting
61. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Millions of tons of carpets find their way in the US landfills each year.
B. Remanufacturing carpets is likely to decrease the amount of greenhouse gas.
C. 90 percent of old carpeting will be recovered and reused within the next ten years.
D. Scientists and manufacturers are working to make products from recycled plastic.
62. According to the passage, who should play a major role in the recovering and recycling of old carpets?
A. Garbage collectors. B. Government officials.
C. Carpet traders. D. Carpet manufacturers.
63 The expression “to come on board” in the last sentence can be replaced by _____.
A. to realize the significance of the issue
B. to give their help when necessary
C. to join the programme eventually
D. to take strict measures as required
C
China's giant pandas have long been threatened with extinction, suffering from low birth rates and human encroachment on their habitat. Now they are facing a new threat - starvation. China's state-run media says their favourite food, arrow bamboo, is beginning to die off. It is part of a cycle that happens every 60 years and the new crop will take around 10 years to mature. Last time the bamboo bloomed was in the 1980s and then around 250 giant pandas died of starvation.
Now at least one nature reserve is trying to move those animals at risk into new habitats or find them new sources of food. In another blow for the giant panda, it is being reported that the endangered Tibetan antelope is being tipped as China's Olympic mascot(吉祥物), ahead of the panda. One official was even quoted as lobbying for the antelope because it is more sporty than the other contenders. But panda supporters are holding out hope that Beijing's Olympic emblem could be composed of more than one animal.
64. The best title for the passage is ______________
A. Pandas are becoming extinct because of starvation
B. Tibetan antelope is likely to be chosen as China’s Olympic mascot。
C. Arrow bamboo is dying off.
D. Pandas are in danger.
65. In this passage “encroachment” probably means _________
A. dependence B. intruding C. destroying D. preservation
