Four out of five of the victims are men. Men are more likely to work outdoors. They are also more likely to play golf. Walking around in a thunderstorm with a metal club is an excellent way of attracting lightning. So is standing under a tree to shelter from a storm. So is walking by the ocean or any other large body of water.
Sometimes, victims of a lightning strike have a hard job convincing others that they have been struck. In an ordinary electric shock, the electricity travels straight through the body.

Traveling in
I traveled there last August. A
simple 180-kilometre trip from a Chinese border town to
Vietnamese drivers are impatient and fearless. They compete with each other at full speed no matter how scared the passengers feel. When the bus shook us violently many times, the driver made a joke to make us feel better. “See, this is just a gift Vietnamese people give you, a free massage service.”
It was midnight when I reached the hotel. Turning on the television, I was surprised by something: All the characters in the TV dramas spoke in the same voice. At present, modern Korean dramas and historical Chinese dramas are popular with the Vietnamese. But it seemed they didn’t have enough money to dub(配音)all these programmes. So, the same boring woman would appear behind every drama to speak for the roles.
The next morning when I opened the window, I found myself in a huge “garden”. The buildings in the streets were dressed in all kinds of colors you can imagine. Vietnamese residents are allowed to paint their houses as they like. Each one is different and the colors bring the city alive.

B. knew little about the neighboring country.
C. had thought he would have a chance to visit the country.
D. thought the country was very rich

by the beautiful scenery in

C. the persons who dub may be looked down upon D. they had no ability to afford so much money

C. Very colorful D. Rather dull
D
Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’ time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive(存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes(沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs(懸崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing -- very, very slowly -- as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
68.Many plants may survive in deserts when _____.
A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round
69.Sand dunes are formed when _____.
A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a year.
C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller
70.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is _____.
A. too much sand B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand
71.It can be learned from the text that in a desert _____.
A. there is no rainfall throughout the year
B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high
D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
E
My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent ? teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “ Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “ That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
72.By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and _____.
A. preferred to stay alone at home B. lost interest in his studies
C. refused to talk to others D. began to dislike his mother
73.There was silence on the other end of the line because _____
A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother
B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking
C. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voice
D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother
74.The sentence “… he even made the honor roll” means that “_____”.
A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent―teacher meeting
B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades
C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around
D. he was even on the list of the best students at school
75.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children in single―parent families often have mental problems
B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life

書面表達(dá)范文：
Dear Mr. Brown,
I’m now safely back home. Thank you very much for all the kindness I got from you during my stay. Hope everything is fine with you there..
Now I wonder whether I could ask you a favor. When I came back, I suddenly realized that I had left my English dictionary behind at your place. It is a precious gift from my American teacher. Would you please be so kind as to send it to me?
I will pay for the postage. The dictionary must be on the bookshelf in my bedroom. It is the one with a red cover.
Thank and all the best
Yours,
Li Hua
