C
No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called "great" mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC-206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.
64. Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?
A. It is useless from now on.
B. It will be replaced by a new one.
C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.
D. It is too old to be used again.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty.
B. Not all the foreign tourists like the Great Wall.
C. The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221 BC.
D. The Qin Great Wall was protected well.
66. The underlined part "those sections far away from the public eyes" (in Paragraph 2) refers to the parts of the Great Wall _____.
A. that are too difficult to find
B. nobody can watch
C. that are too far to be seen
D. that are not well-known to the public
67. What's the main reason of the Great Wall's being destroyed?
A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D. The local people sell the bricks for a living.

“You will meet a man in the theatre foyer,” K. explained. “He will have left before the play ends and will be 1 for you. He'll be wearing a dark suit and carrying a theatre 2 upside down, although I doubt if you could miss him. There shouldn't be many people waiting in the foyer at that time of night. 3 he asks you to do, whatever instructions you're given, co-operate. Understood?” I nodded. I knew of course that we were planning to have discussions with “the other side” and that we intended to 4 back one of our own men, but all this seemed a bit ridiculous. I had been told at the training school that I would be likely to get some simple but rather strange 5 to begin with. They had been 6 .
The curtain had 7 come down on the last act of the play when I was out of my 8 and walking from the dark of the theatre into the bright lights of the foyer. He was there. But the moment I saw him, I had the 9 that something unpleasant was about to happen. He seemed to be 10 at a spot on the floor, and looked as if he was just about to pick something up when 11 was a single gun shot and he was thrown 12 the wall. The warning signs had obviously got to me 13 I realized consciously what was going to happen, because I had 14 in a cold sweat on seeing the expression on his 15 . The moment the shot rang out, I automatically fell back on my training and threw myself to the 16 .
When no more shots followed, I looked 17 and was just in time to see two masked men 18 my“contact” out of the front door of the theatre. I didn't know 19 he was dead or badly injured, but I intended to find out. I got up slowly and carefully and 20 for the door.

One way of preventing (阻止) floods may be by making rain! This may sound rather 1 . As we know, heavy rain is the 2 of floods, and in Malaysia, most of the 3 are caused by the annual monsoon (一年一度的湿季风), which brings heavy rain to the east coast. If, 4 , the rain could be made 5 in the South China Sea, there would be 6 floods since the rain could not reach the east coast.
Is it possible to make 7 give up their rain? Yes, it is.
As you probably know, clouds are caused 8 air containing water-vapor (水蒸气). The air rises and, since water-vapor 9 water when it cools, very tiny drops of water are formed. Since these drops are very 10 , they float (漂浮) in the air and 11 a cloud. When the cloud rises, however, the drops become 12 . Because of this, they 13 together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their 14 , and they fall. As they 15 , they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of rain.
Rain making 16 making these bigger drops form and fall 17 they would normally do so. This can be done by “seeding” the clouds with chemicals, 18 planting seeds in the ground. Rain can be produced 19 by these chemicals. The seeding is done by 20 which fly through the clouds.
