    Japan are either avoiding marriage or are finding it very difficult to hook up with a partner．The school which is open to men and women，teaches students how to talk，walk and present themselves elegantly(优雅)in order to capture the hearts and minds of partners and their parents．who are often a major obstacle(障碍)to successful unions．The school，opened last month.now has about 30 female students．An almost equal number of males have signed up，but those actually coming to class are much fewer than females．

    D
       A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
    In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
           There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.
       Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％ of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.
    57. Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they_____________
           A. reflect more heat into the atmosphere
    B. bring about high rainfall throughout the world
           C. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃
           D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
    58. What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?
           A. We will lose much more than we can gain.
    B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
           C. People have a strong desire for resources.
           D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.
    59. It can be inferred from the text that          .
           A. we can get enough resources without rainforests
        B. there is great medicine potential in rainforests
           C. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
           D. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
    60. What might be the best title for the text?
           A. How to Save Rainforests         B. How to Protect Nature
        C. Rainforests and the Environment    D. Rainforests and Medical Development

    C
    Can you imagine a catfish bigger than a boy? There are more than 1，000 kinds of catfish；28 species are found in the United States' lakes and rivers． This huge family has some mighty strange members. Let's meet a few.
    Walking catfish．Nature's feisty little catfish，found in southern Florida，has an extra lung for breathing on dry land. When its swimming hole dries up，the walking catfish waddles on stiff forward fins in search of another lake or stream．If an enemy attacks，the fish flares（展开）its top and front fins and leaps at the attacker to scare it off．
    Armored catfish．This catfish has heavy，bony plates protecting its body. The shell makes the fish difficult to bone. To cook it，throw the fish whole into a fire. When it is done，break it open for eating．Some armored catfish are found in Florida，but the 100-pounders live in South America．
    Rounding out the family of strange catfish are talking catfish，which make growing sound when you pull them from the water；climbing catfish，which move quickly up shore brush in search of food；electric catfish，which can deliver a mild shock；and blind catfish，which settle in the inky blackness of underwater caves．Blind catfish find food through taste buds in their eight whiskers（须）．
    Most catfish have four whiskers on the upper jaw and four on the lower jaw. Sensory holes on these whiskers help the fish smell and taste food even in the muddiest of water．The United States does not have catfish anywhere near the size of those in South America．But in some large U.S，rivers，blue and flathead catties do top 100 pounds．
    Most of the catfish you are likely to catch will be much smaller，about frying pan size．When you catch one，remember that the top fins and the forward fins have poison glands（腺）at their bases. They can give you painful wounds （…）
    63．The purpose of the passage is to___________．
    A．encourage readers to go fishing for catfish
    B．inform readers of the world's largest catfish
    C．describe the unusual characteristics of catfish
    D．explain different ways to catch a variety of catfish

    A．it has heavy and bony plates        B．it's hard to cook and eat
    C．it has too many bones      D．it's poisonous inside
    65．Which is NOT mentioned about catfish in the passage?
    A．Its eating habits．                                    B．Its living conditions． 
    C．Its whiskers．                                 D．Its size
    66．What may be continued in the last paragraph?
    A．The author's love for catfish．     B．Where else to catch a catfish．

    The old couple who lived in a cottage on the edge of the village were envied for the happiness of their marriage． They never quarreled and were always affectionate to one another． Sadly, after thirty-four years of this happiness, the husband became ill and died．
    The wife was overcome with grief． Her children tried to comfort her, but to no avail． Her neighbors tried to comfort her, but with similar lack of success． Weeks and months went by, and still the woman was grieving; tears fell down her cheeks from morning till night．
